Resident Evil HD REMASTER Randomizer
I'm currently working on creating a randomizer mod for the game Resident Evil HD REMASTER on PC. Now playable as both Jill and Chris on Normal and Hard difficulty!
I could really use your support to continue working on this mod. I recently released a game on Early Access on Steam, DeadOS, and I would really appreciate if you could check it out!
I now also have a patreon! Become a Patron!
Alternatively you can buy me a coffee through ko-fi:
You can try version 1.25 *HERE*
There is a patch you need to install in order to prevent crashes with the enemy randomizer, download it *HERE* and place the contents of the nativePC folder inside the nativePC folder of your REmake installation.
Known issues:
Antiviruses / Windows Defender incorrectly marks the files as a virus, they are NOT! Feel free to send them to any antivirus company to get them checked out.
Randomizer only works for the version of Resident Evil that is on Steam, it does not work with cracked versions of the game.
Dog whistle doesn't work after beating Plant 42.
Elevators are sometimes in the wrong position after beating Lisa.
Being made to play as Rebecca can cause soft-locks in Chris runs, avoid triggering them.
Very rarely Barry won't give Jill the lockpick at the beginning of the game.
Very rarely the game will lock up when you turn on the lamp in the Spencer Room.
Treading on a bee after defeating it in the library can lock up the game.

If you have any problems or encounter any bugs or think your seed isn't finishable, send your ItemList.txt to me in a pastebin along with a description of your problem on Twitter or Email and I'll do my best to get back to you!
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Place RandomizerSeedGenerator.exe and RandomizerTrainer.exe in your Resident Evil / Biohazard HD REMASTER folder, in the same place as bhd.exe
2) Launch RandomizerSeedGenerator.exe until it generates the file ItemList.txt for your chosen character, this is your randomized item list.
3) Launch up the game and go to the main menu.
4) Open RandomizerTrainer.exe and wait for a window asking for you to choose your character.
5) After you have chosen the character you generated the seed for it should detect both bhd.exe and ItemList.txt, if it has not you need to relaunch!
6) Make sure you pick the correct character ingame on the correct difficulty.
Most people playing for the first time will want Normal difficulty (it's the top choice when choosing difficulties "Like climbing a mountain. Fulfilling, but takes a lot of work.") If you picked an easier difficulty I believe it will still work, but the extra items generated by the lower difficulty will not be randomized.
Hard difficulty is only accessible when you've already beaten the game once as Jill or Chris. If you wish to play Real Survival you must also pick Hard in the trainer as they both have the same item sets.
7) Play the game! Leave the executable open for the trainer until you are done playing as it edits the items while the game is being run, closing it will unrandomize your items!
