About this mod
An expansion to the courtyard, making it into a regular region.
- Permissions and credits
~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the courtyard, we have fun and games~~~~~~~~~~~
Courtyard+ is designed to be an expansion of the regular Crimson Court DLC. It's main focus is to add onto the DLC, while trying to keep the base feel and flow of the DLC there. This mod is currently in an alpha state and will be getting updates for the next two to three weeks, or until I am satisfied with where it is at. All feedback is welcomed.
Installation
Due to the nature of this mod, it works best on a fresh save. If you are installing on an old save, make sure you are in a quest from the ruins, cove, weald, or warrens. Then turn on this mod. If you wish to uninstall, again make sure you are in a mission in the weald, warrens, ruins, or cove.
What is in this mod currently
- The initial plot quest now happens at week 9 instead of week 2. This should give you more time to get ready for the Croc.
- You are required to beat The initial plot quest to start the DLC like normal.
- The Courtyard now levels up.
- Curio Changes
- The Lost Treasure Chest now has a unique look to it to make it look different from a hierloom chest. Keyhole removed since there is no key interaction.
- The winemaker's reserve curio has a unique look.
- The trinket box has had its keyhole removed since it has no key interactions.
- The Hives required for the "Burn the Hives" quests now have a unique look.
- The key curios have a unique look to them. Also changed to just grab the key since they have no interaction.
- An "Explore" and "Skirmish" Type quests added.
- The Courtyard is now treated as a regular area in terms of the Collector and snakes spawning.
- An "Activate the curio" type quest added. This one is themed after the burn the hives quest. It has unique icons.
- The Courtyard has a unique spawn map generation to it, making it different from other dungeons.
- The quest "Gather the blood" as had it's cap removed. Before, it would stop showing up if you have killed the countess. I am leaving this quest in like this as the "Gather the item" quest for the area.
- You can still progress through the story of Burn the hives -> Baron -> Viscount -> Countess.
- Thanks to the courtyard now being a regular region in addition to its plot quests, I added in Region quirks.
- New Bloodsucker quirks.
- AI tweaks. So bloodsuckers will use the thirst less, making them actually use some of their non-beast mode attacks.
- Tic zombies will now also mark heroes and use gather the blood 95% of the time against a mark hero.
- New Courtyard Backgrounds.
- Mash adjustments for infections. So mashes are now mixed with the local enemy groups.
- Added a new effect for the Baron fight that is purely cosmetic. His room starts empty and then guests fill the background when the fight starts. They will leave when the fight is done.
- Adds a boss quest at levels 4 and 6 to hunt the Croc. The champion Croc quest has a unique trophy trinket. He also has a new boss screen in the same vein as the other bosses.
- Adds a boss quest at level 3, 5, and 7 to hunt the Garden Guardian. He also has a new boss screen in the same vein as other bosses.
- The Fanatic will has a few things done about him
- His encounter rate has been changed. The more cursed heroes you have, the higher chance he has to spawn. 4 cursed heroes on a high infestation means 100% chance for him.
- His Pyre now has the enemy type of Unholy and Carpentry, instead of Unholy Carpentry. So anything that adds damage to unholy now adds damage to the pyre.
- Mash adjustments for the courtyard. Expect to see some Gargoyles there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Known Issues~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some times when leaving endless mode, your quests will vanish. Reload the save for them to appear. This is not an issue with this mod, but an issue with the game since CoM has been released.The Croc mission seems to dissappear if not done before baron, requires more testing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Nature of this type of mod~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to how this mod works on expanding existing crimson court content, I had to edit the base files for Crimson Court. If any other mod overwrites any of the files that this mod uses, it will break this mod.
