Elden Ring Item and Enemy Randomizer not working correctly

[mwsduelle]

I installed everything following the instructions exactly and the randomizer "works" but not really. I get constant ?EventTextforMap? messages and all the NPCs are ?NpcName?. My loadout wasn't randomized either (the option to randomize it was on) and NPC outfits were not randomized either. I tried replacing the regulation.bin in the main folder with the one from the randomizer folder and that gave me my random loadout and the ?EventTextforMap? messages went away but ?NpcName? remains.

Can you try with elden-proton?`https://github.com/Cloudef/elden-proton

When running for the first time in terminal:

./elden-proton.bash
./elden-proton.bash: line 16: STEAM_RUNTIME: unbound variable

I'm not having any issues getting DLL mods to work. I have Seamless Co-op, IncreaseAnimationDistance, SkipTheIntro, and UnlockTheFPS working without issue. Not sure what elden-proton would do to fix the Randomizer issue.

Please try again with elden-proton. I fixed running it outside of steam runtime. Other thing you can try is reduce the load_delay of elden mod loader to 2000

[mwsduelle]

I get the same result. Is this just modengine2 failing to hook and replace the files?

[Cloudef]

It might be the elden mod loader hooks too early or late that prevents modloader from working. That's why you may have to play with the load_delay. Randomizer itself should work fine as I've used it.

I finally got it working. It seems like manually adjusting the load order was what did it. I put lua.dll and modengine2.dll at the top and now it finally works correctly.
