SRB2: Chaotic Edition! (v4)
Now with "Chaos Cards"!
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OPENGL USERS
If you're using OpenGL, Chaos City may take awhile to load, and be a bit laggy. There's not much I can do about that, you might be better off using the Software Renderer.
What is SRB2: Chaotic Edition?
This is a chaos mod, enabled by the "Chaotic Engine". You may have seen the likes of it from Super Mario 64: Chaos Edition, or GTA V Chaos, this mod aims to do similar things. Every 3-10 seconds, you're given a "Chaos Roulette", which will roll a new random effect to apply to you. They can range from wind pushing you around, to your player sprite turning into a giant tree, or you being able to get double the amount of rings as usual; that is to say, it's a toss-up if the effect helps you, or impedes you, or perhaps neither at all!
There is also a second component to this: the Chaos City. A small chunk of a city torn from the ground, it's a safe haven away from the chaos down below... This is a hub level that you can access at any time (use the warp at the start of every level), to customize your chaos experience! At the end of every level, all the rings you currently have in your possession are turned into "Chaos Rings"; the pure essence of chaos found in every ring. Your "Ring Multiplier" determines how much chaos you can extract out of said rings, and it can be used as currency to buy upgrades and various tweaks to the chaos experience! All of this to say: you have some power to tame the chaos... or at least make it more manageable!
There are 68 unique effects that can be applied to the player, with some of them needing to be unlocked (from either the shop, or doing certain tasks in Chaos City!). There are a further 9 Universal Effects which can be all obtained by buying the appropriate item; these are effects that don’t just apply to the player, they change up the world around you!
Okay... now what's this "Chaos Cards" thing?
Once you unlock Fang, you'll get the ability to purchase "Chaos Cards". If you've seen the SM64 hack "BAZR", the concept is similar; this brings a new gamemode, where your character's abilities have been replaced with a limited set of cards. Your goal is to beat the level using the deck you're given, and not run out of cards before you reach the end. "Chaos Rings" and such still carry over. Using said Chaos Rings you can buy new card suites to give you new useful abilities, you can "laminate" certain cards to boost their powers, and you can further upgrade the Chaos Cards system itself.
You can play this alongside the Chaotic System if you really want to... but I'd recommend against it, due to the sheer amount of chaos it causes. Up to you if you want an extremely difficult challenge though!
There's a total of 29 cards that you can use in this, with one of them being a hidden unlockable. Can you find it?
You can use `srb2ce` in the console to open a menu to change your options on the fly; alternatively you can just talk to Tails in Chaos City for the same menu. There are various options to tweak things, such as the things you buy from the shop, or the ability to toggle things such as the HUD for added difficulty. You will also find attributions for the mod in this menu, along with a full changelog for any changes between updates!
Remember: there is more to this mod than just chaos, be sure to visit Chaos City to maximize your experience!
Since you've read this far...
Check out the sister project for this, Tails' Khaos Kontraption! It's like this mod, but for Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers, and SRB2Kart!
