Releases: Die4Ever/build-engine-randomizer

Build Engine Randomizer currently supports: Duke Nukem 3D, Ion Fury, Shadow Warrior (1997), Blood, and PowerSlave/Exhumed (and maybe more in the future!)
Trailer
Download build-engine-randomizer.exe from the Assets section below. Put eduke32.exe/nblood.exe/etc into the game's folder. Run the Randomizer it, point it to the game's GRP file, choose your settings, and click Randomize! Make sure you have a backup of your game files first just in case. On Windows the Randomizer will generate a bat file for you to play, and then you can just play the game as normal, choose which episode and which difficulty, and it will automatically use the new map files. You do NOT select "USER MAP" in the game menus. If you don't get a bat file, then see the wiki for how to play.
For info on where to get the games and how to run them, check out our wiki here.

Randomizes enemies and items. For games that use CON files (Duke Nukem 3D and Ion Fury so far) it also randomizes values like maximum health and ammo values, and enemy strengths. Also supports randomizing the map order. Be warned that putting every setting to maximum will make the game nearly impossible. I suggest you start with the default settings. Also check out the Randomizer.html file that gets created in the output directory to see what's changed.
Changes
- Updated for new version of Ion Fury Aftershock again.

Changes
- New option for "Randomization Range" for "Disabled". Use this if you do not want CON file values (such as health and damage values) to be randomized.
- This causes the "Difficulty" dropdown option to have no effect since that only applies to CON file values.
- (Other ways of affecting difficulty are the Items dropdown for number of items, the Enemies dropdown for number of enemies, as well as the in-game difficulty selection)
- This causes the "Difficulty" dropdown option to have no effect since that only applies to CON file values.
- Improved handling of enemy randomization in Blood

v0.5.7 Alpha Support for Blood and PowerSlave
Build Engine Randomizer
Build Engine Randomizer (Duke Nukem 3D, Ion Fury, Shadow Warrior, Blood, PowerSlave/Exhumed and maybe more in the future!)
Download build-engine-randomizer.exe from the Assets section below. Run it, point it to the game's GRP file, choose your settings, and click Randomize! Make sure you have a backup of your game files first.
For Duke Nukem 3D, I suggest using EDuke32 to run it. EDuke32 has an option for "Custom game content directory", in this dropdown select "Randomizer". You can also get the free Duke Nukem 3D demo here.
For Ion Fury you can also use EDuke32, which allows you to enable the "Use Randomizer Folder" option inside the Randomizer window, and then in EDuke32 set "Custom game content directory" to "Randomizer".
For Shadow Warrior, use voidsw.exe from that same download as EDuke32 (it's in the zip file). Shadow Warrior is freeware on Steam and GOG.
For Blood, I suggest using NBlood to run it. NBlood has an option for "Custom game content directory", in this dropdown select "Randomizer".
For PowerSlave (aka Exhumed) I suggest PCExhumed to run it. PCExhumed has an option for "Custom game content directory", in this dropdown select "Randomizer". You can get the shareware demo here. This will not work with the Night Dive Studios 2022 release titled "PowerSlave Exhumed", as that is not based on the Build Engine.
