ConfigurableStageCredit

Lets you tune the stage's enemy credit and loot/interactable credit independently.

Configuration

After launching the game once with the mod installed, edit BepInEx/config/com.configurablestagecredit.plugin.cfg.

The [Enemy Credit] and [Loot Credit] sections each have the following settings:

Setting	Meaning
StartingMultiplier	Multiplier on stage 1. 1.15 means 115% of the initial credit budget. If below MinimumMultiplier, it is set to MinimumMultiplier.
StageIncrement	Additive multiplier change between stages, except when entering a new 5-stage loop.
LoopIncrement	Additive multiplier change when entering the next loop (stage 6, 11, 16, etc.). This replaces StageIncrement for that transition only.
MinimumMultiplier	Lower bound. Negative values are corrected to 0.
MaximumMultiplier	Upper bound. If lower than the minimum, it is changed to equal the minimum.

The [General] section has this setting:

Setting	Default	Meaning
PrintCreditOnStageStart	false	When enabled, prints the stage number, multiplier, original credit budget, and modified credit budget for both enemy and loot credits in chat.

How the multiplier is calculated

The Stage 1 multiplier is clamped to the configured bounds. Each later stage adds its increment to the current multiplier, then clamps it again. Stages 2-5 use StageIncrement from the previous stage. Entering stage 6 uses LoopIncrement from stage 5 instead of StageIncrement; stages 7-10 go back to StageIncrement. The same rule repeats at stages 11, 16, and so on. Because every transition starts from the already-clamped multiplier, later positive or negative increments behave naturally after a bound is reached.

Example with StartingMultiplier = 1.05, StageIncrement = -0.05, and LoopIncrement = -0.30:

Stage	Multiplier	Reason
1	1.05	StartingMultiplier
2	1.00	StageIncrement (-0.05)
3	0.95	StageIncrement (-0.05)
4	0.90	StageIncrement (-0.05)
5	0.85	StageIncrement (-0.05)
6	0.55	LoopIncrement (-0.30)
7	0.50	StageIncrement (-0.05)

Example config:

[General]
PrintCreditOnStageStart = false

[Enemy Credit]
StartingMultiplier = 1.05
StageIncrement = -0.05
LoopIncrement = -0.30
MinimumMultiplier = 0.0
MaximumMultiplier = 10.0

[Loot Credit]
StartingMultiplier = 1.0
StageIncrement = 0.1
LoopIncrement = 0.25
MinimumMultiplier = 0.5
MaximumMultiplier = 3.0

When PrintCreditOnStageStart = true, the mod sends one chat message for each map after it has captured both budgets. It waits briefly for the new scene to load, then automatically opens and focuses the local chat input so the report is visible. This takes keyboard focus until you close the chat; press Escape if you do not want to type. In multiplayer, each player needs the mod and this setting enabled for their own chat input to open. For example:

<style=cEvent>[ConfigurableStageCredit]</style> Stage 6
   Enemy x0.55: vanilla 100, new 55
   Loot x1.25: vanilla 400, new 500

The credit values in that message are the budgets seen immediately before and after this mod applies its multiplier. If other mods also alter scene director credits, their hook order can affect the value this mod sees as the “vanilla” baseline.

The mod applies the changes on the server when the scene director prepares its spawn budgets. In multiplayer, the host/server's configuration determines the budgets. This adjusts the total budget available to the directors, not the individual credit cost of each spawn card.

Building from source (Windows)

Requirements

• Risk of Rain 2 installed.
• .NET 8 SDK.
• BepInExPack for Risk of Rain 2 installed in the modding profile used for development.

Configure paths

1. Copy Config.Build.user.props.template to Config.Build.user.props in this folder.
2. Set RoR2Dir to the directory containing Risk of Rain 2.exe.
3. Set BepInExCoreDir to the BepInEx\core directory for your modded profile. With r2modman, it is normally inside the selected profile directory, not the Steam game directory.

Build and create the Thunderstore zip

Open PowerShell in this directory and run:

.\build-and-pack.ps1

If the build succeeds, the uploadable package zip will be created under artifacts\thunderstore\ConfigurableStageCredit-0.3.0.zip.

The source project does not include the compiled plugin DLL because it must be compiled against your installed Risk of Rain 2 (RoR2.dll) and BepInEx assemblies. The script builds the DLL and places it in the Thunderstore package layout.

Testing checklist

1. Set StartingMultiplier = 1.05, StageIncrement = -0.05, and LoopIncrement = -0.30; verify stage 4 is 0.90, stage 5 is 0.85, and stage 6 is 0.55.
2. Verify stages 7-10 use StageIncrement, and stage 11 uses LoopIncrement again.
3. Set MinimumMultiplier = 0.8 and use a sufficiently negative increment; verify it stops at 0.8.
4. Set MaximumMultiplier lower than MinimumMultiplier; verify the config corrects the maximum to match the minimum.
5. Enable PrintCreditOnStageStart; verify one chat message reports enemy and loot multipliers and before/after budgets on each map, including entering and leaving the Bazaar, and verify the chat input opens automatically.
6. Test in a multiplayer lobby with the host running the mod.

Notes

This source release has not been compiled or play-tested in this environment because Risk of Rain 2's local managed assemblies and BepInEx profile files are not available here. The build script checks for the required reference assemblies and gives a specific error if paths are missing.
