Level Scaling
Level Scaling is a R.E.P.O. mod that allows you to fully customize your difficulty progression and scaling, additionally including statistics for your levels, entire runs, and globally across lobbies. Also includes Level 'Challenges' and Run 'Malfunctions' if you'd like to add some spice!
Feel free to add me on Discord (@swaggies) for bug reports or suggestions. I will post updates/patches to my personal modding server and the Level Scaling thread in the R.E.P.O. Modding Server.
Notable Features
Any of the following can be adjusted based on level number: map size, number of extraction points, total map value, quota difficulty, number of enemies (tier 1/2/3), and enemy health. See the config file for details.
Many many statistics that get tracked as you play through levels
- Level stats to track basic things like time, extracted & broken value, & orb drops. Can be viewed mid-level, or in the shop afterwards.
- Run stats that track the totals of all level stats, viewable on the save file select screen.
- Global stats that track the totals of all level stats plus a few additional stats across all lobbies and saves that you play in.
- See the previews below for how they look! MenuLib is required to view global stats, but they will be tracked regardless of if it's installed.
12 types of Challenges that may appear in your levels
- Challenges exist to hinder your levels, but always have some hidden benefit included
- Challenges become more common the further you progress
- By default you can only have up to one Challenge in a level, but if you're daring, you may allow multiple!
- Challenges require all players to have Level Scaling installed with Compatibility Mode disabled in order to function.
- See the Challenge details below for exact mechanics, but beware spoilers!
9 types of "Malfunctions" that apply modifiers to entire runs
- Malfunctions are basically Challenges that take effect for an entire save file. You can only choose one (or none), and it cannot be changed once selected.
- Each Malfunction has their own gimmicks and difficulty. Some may even drastically change the gameplay & progression.
- Level Scaling's configs are locked to their default values during Malfunction runs, to keep them nice and balanced (..for the most part)
- Personal bests for each Malfunction will be saved and displayed in-game.
- Malfunctions require all players to have Level Scaling installed with Compatibility Mode disabled in order to function. The host of the lobby also requires MenuLib in order to select the Malfunctions.
- See the Malfunction details below for exact mechanics, but beware spoilers!
Level Simulation menu for knowing what to expect on each level
- Mainly for testing your configurations! I would recommend disabling this if you don't need it!
- You can input the level numbers that you wish to simulate. Either a list (such as
1, 5, 10) or a range (such as 1-100) will suffice (you can also combine the two, like 1, 5-15, 20!)
- The Level Simulation menu can be disabled if you'd like (maybe you don't want it present in your modpack or something).
- Level Simulation requires MenuLib in order to display. Simulations are client-sided and based on only the user's configs, but will take Malfunctions into account.
- See the previews below for how Level Simulation looks
Everything above can be configured/adjusted/disabled using your mod manager. You may also use REPOConfig. Be sure to read config descriptions.
HOW TO CONFIGURE & CONFIG RULES
- Each configurable section has a field where you can type a list of level/value pairs, something like this:
1:2, 4:6, 10:15. These are formatted as LEVEL:VALUE, so 4:6 for example would indicate the value 6 at Level 4. These pairs of values are separated by commas (,).
- For example, if you wanted to have a map value of $300K at level 5, you would include
5:300 in the Total Map Values section. You can use the existing default values as a reference point for making your own configuration.
- If you leave a gap in between levels (example:
1:2, 5:10, leaving levels 2-4 blank), levels in-between will be interpolated. For example, when using 1:2, 5:10, Level 3 would have the value of 6 (being the midpoint between 2 and 10, like how Lv3 is the midpoint between Lv1 and Lv5).
- Spaces will be removed when processing, so you can use them if you'd like. Keep the level numbers in order and don't use duplicates or they will be skipped over.
- Keep in mind that values will be capped if they are too high or too low. If this occurs it will be displayed in your log.
- If anything goes wrong in configuration or processing, LevelScaling will log a warning to your console.
Notices
- ALL clients require Level Scaling for Challenges and Malfunctions to work properly. Otherwise, you may feel free to use Level Scaling in vanilla lobbies in Compatibility Mode enabled (available under "Misc" in the config).
- MenuLib is not required, but the Level Scaling menu will not be accessible without it (and by extension: Malfunctions, Level Simulation, and Global Stats).
- Level Scaling is meant to be configured before playing, I would recommend configuring everything in your mod manager, then fine-tuning with REPOConfig if needed! Remember that the game needs to be launched with Level Scaling installed for the configuration file to generate.
Known Incompatibilities
- SpawnConfig (minor) - prevents Level Scaling from changing enemy counts. Some Challenges and Malfunctions will be blacklisted if SpawnConfig is installed, everything else should work fine.
Challenge & Malfunction Details
All Challenges
Lights Out
- All level lights are disabled from the start
- Every 15s-45s (randomly for each individual player), you will be blinded for
