BOTW Randomizer Early Access Download (v4.0.0) (Patreon)

I am happy to announce a new update for the Zelda BOTW Randomizer after many years! It is available now here on my Patreon page.

- Game DLC no longer needed for the mod to work properly ✅

- Reduced the mod size by 75% (from 1,130 MB to 275 MB) ✅

- No more "Panic Blood Moons" (had none in my 4-hour stream, not even at Dark Beast Ganon) ✅

- Many bugfixes and a few changes (see full update notes) ✅

- And more ✅

This update focuses on getting rid of annoying things like the DLC requirement in the past, as well as the fact that the mod was over 1GB big (and now only 275 MB). I aimed to make as few changes to the gameplay as possible to keep the chaotic nature of the BOTW Randomizer. Please note that this update has been designed for Wii U (Cemu), and a dedicated port to Switch is not planned right now due to lacking converter tools. However, it appears that a promising converter is in the works at this moment and might be finished somewhat soon so stay tuned, Switch users!

BOTW RANDOMIZER UPDATE NOTES - v4.0.0

New:

The game DLC is no longer required for the mod to function properly.

Additions:

Added the Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) language packs back.

Added blue monk text saying "The world time has changed" after the world time changes, to avoid confusion about what happened.

Changes:

The world time change animation has been sped up to reduce disruptive gameplay, and the time is no longer displayed.

The player is now unaffected by both temperature changes and the world map prohibition while inside Shrines.

Changed the opening text to "Waikuteru Presents" and "Breath of the Wild Randomizer".

Reduced the volume of the Guardian Stalkers' custom battle theme.

Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug where environmental changes were incorrectly marked as active after a forced reset.

Fixed a bug where the Randomizer Cycle was inactive outside of Shrines when the game's DLC was not installed.

Fixed a bug where Treasure Chests did not provide items outside of Shrines when the game's DLC was not installed.

Fixed a bug where the "Complete Minigame - Deer Hunt" goal text was not displayed.

Fixed a bug where the "Obtain - Snow Boots" goal did not correctly detect whether the player had fulfilled it.

Fixed a bug where the "Complete - Tools of the Trade" and "Complete - The Sheep Rustlers" goals did not correctly detect whether the player had fulfilled them.

Optimizations:

General code optimization.

Reduced the mod's file size by 75% (from 1,130 MB to 275 MB).

Decreased the likelihood of a "Panic Blood Moon" due to memory usage optimizations.

Removed unnecessary code (277 event actor actions, 120 event actor queries, 29 event actors).
