Self Randomizer Installer

Pretty sure it’s just an FEBuilder menu, and is included if you’re using SkillSystems. You just add Door to the list

Febuilder patches can search your rom for a sequence of bytes and display a table at an offset relative to that address, while doing this in an .event installer would mean writing and calling an external program to do this or asking 7743 to add an automatically made label for this to install via febuilder. The installer might also have to overwrite any entries you made. At the very least it is quite cumbersome and introduces compatibility issues, so it will not be added here. You can always add breakable doors yourself via febuilder yourself if you’d like.

Simply put - it’s easy to do in a buildfile, and it’s easy to do in febuilder, but it is not easy to edit your installation in febuilder through an .event file.

Hello, I tried following your guide but it didn’t work out in the end :

I got myself the FEBuilder

I (had a hard time with this lol) configured Fe8_Installer.event, I implemented the link to the files needed.

I also got ColorzCore.exe and did as you said.

In the end i missed 3 files :
/ASM/Debugger/Installer.event
/ASM/Reclass/Installer.event
/ASM/EndBattleIfBroken/Installer.event
And I could not find those at all so I had to put them as commentary lol
After that the patch applied to the game but in game the menu for randomizing is not appearing, I need your help :confused:
Thank you !

You can also see some example installers in the HackInstallers folder.

Additional readme

The includes that you commented out are optional but if you download/fork my asm repo and put it and the srr one in the same folder, it should work.

I’ve installed it on around 30 hacks already and they seem to work fine. Are you sure there isn’t an error message when installing?

Hacks I’ve installed this on:

I’m going to Uni right now, I guess it’s not working because I jinxed it somehow…
I’ll look for your guide asap thank you very much !

It seems that I cannot make it work while following the guide :confused:
As a none english native I feel I might miss some steps or I might not understand them…
Would it be possible to look at my issue with you ? I really wish to play some hacks randomized
(I wanted to play Vision quest which doesn’t seem to appear on your GitHub)

Sorry, but out of respect for the project authors I’m only applying the randomizer to hacks by makers who have explicitly given me permission to do so and to share it on the aforementioned thread. I’ll ping @Pandan in case he wants me to, but it’s up to him.

Randomizing a game throws balance out the window, so I think it’s understandable that not everyone wants their romhack randomized.

Good news, though: there are lots of cool hacks that have been randomized already, so you could try some of those I guess.

Not sure, if Pandan changed his statement after I asked him like 2 months ago…

Hi Vesly. I am sorry for this simple question. Do I have to patch the original game of a romhack with a Self Randomiser patch or do I have to patch the romhack itself? For example the Hag in White Self Randomiser?

I believe you meant to post on this thread, where the randomized hack releases are:

To answer: the patches are always to be used on the vanilla roms.

The self randomizer installer thread was made in the hopes that hack authors would find this cool and release randomized versions of their hacks themselves. This never happened, so I made a thread requesting permission via a poll, and then later I released the actual randomized hacks via the linked Projects thread. I don’t especially enjoy making separate threads when they’re ultimately all related, but it was reasonable to do so at the time.

I think these two threads could be closed to avoid any confusion in the future:

This one should stay open:
