[1.4] Vanilla Storytellers Expanded - Oskar Obnoxious

Description
[www.patreon.com]







1.0 (04/01/2021): Release





Vanilla Storytellers Expanded is a brand new mod series featuring standalone storytellers, bringing new, unique mechanics to the game.

“Oskar Obnoxious holds no regard for ongoing stories. Things will turn on their heads countless times before a colony goes down in flames. Frequently released Patch notes can alter the values of the game, changing almost anything in the game completely by a random number.”

Oskar Obnoxious comes with the following traits:

Patch Notes
This storyteller releases patch notes every few days, changing the game drastically. Patch notes change random values of random Defs into random numbers. This can result in items becoming incredibly unbalanced, overpowered or worthless.

Hard Difficulty
This storyteller has hard difficulty. It will favour bad events, and any events that happen are tailored to your colony based on its wealth, past events, amount of colonists and other factors.

Random Events
This storyteller will fire random events without any regard for how your colony is doing. Whilst the events still scale with wealth, their type - good, neutral, bad - is completely random, just like with Randy.

We at Vanilla Expanded encourage streamers to try and survive as long as possible under the rule of Oskar Obnoxious!

Oskar Potocki, an artist and a designer, responsible for artwork.

Smash Phil, a programmer responsible for the storyteller code.

Q: How do I use this storyteller?
A: Simply swap to this storyteller and all it’s effects will become active. If you want to stop using him, simply swap to another storyteller or disable the mod, however bear in mind in order for the Patch notes to stop being in effect, you need to restart your game.

Q: Can I change to this storyteller mid-save?
A: Absolutely!

Q: Does it work with Combat Extended?
A: Absolutely. All values can change.

Q: How do I disable the Patch notes effect?
A: Disable the mod and restart the game. Values will return to normal.

Q: Is it compatible with X mod?
A: It is compatible with majority, if not all, mods.

Q: Some value changed to something very negative. It’s broken! How do I remove a patch?
A: I don’t care. That’s the card you’ve been dealt. Roll with it.

Q: How often do patch notes come in?
A: Once every 3 days is default. You can adjust it in mod options settings.

Q: Does this work with X mod? Will it work with these mods that I have?
A: Yes, our system is automatic and will automatically patch fields in mods and vanilla game alike. Get ready for carnage.

Q: Patch notes broke my game. Thanks.
A: No problem.

If you made and posted some art for free, and someone really liked the style and wanted to perhaps recreate it, would you give up the files with the original layers, source material, inspiration etc. you used to create it?

People are under no obligation to provide you with source files, they can keep it closed if they want. Regardless, as I stated before, you can reverse engineer the mod with extreme ease and it'd be quite fine of an alternative to him open sourcing it. Yeah, you'll have to do a little bit of creative work and think on why Oskar made decisions in the code, but it otherwise will provide you a full binary of exactly what you need.

If your not gonna update it to 1.5, Why keep it closed source? You gain nothing by just holding it hostage like this. People wanna play with it, it seems really cool

That said, RimWorld mods are very easy to reverse engineer, and the code behind it (C#) barely obfuscates anything. Unless Oskar made a specific point to make it unreadable/extra obfuscated, you can reverse it yourself. I've done this with a different mod before.

It is not. Sorry.

I don't suppose the code for this storyteller is open source? I love randomisers in games and this was the closest I could find for rimworld, whilst idk anything about rimworld modding I'd like to give updating this to 1.5 a crack

Awh. I fully understand why it wouldn't be worth the time to continue maintaining a mod you made as a joke, but I will very much miss Oskar wreaking havoc on my colony.

How do I downgrade my Rimworld Version? I want to Osk my last ar.
Dekar_Serverbot Jun 12, 2024 @ 4:39pm 
well, guess randy random is the only vanilla story teller not getting their "up to eleven" upgrade... already have Paz Peaceful (Phoebe Chillax) and Major Madness (Cassandra Classic, aka: turn rimworld into Plants vs Zombies).
But well, Oskar, this book ends for you and I can respect that

Just bought Rimworld with the release of Anomaly, sad to hear you won't be updating this mod for 1.5. I understand if it wasn't a fun or worthwhile endeavor, you do you. While i would have loved to have played it, can you at least grey his name out like Roland and Winston are, so people like me don't get their hopes up?
