P03 Kaycee's Mod

Version 2.0: The NPC Update

Check out this super spicy 720p trailer made in a free video editor

If you enjoyed the energy-based robotic gameplay of Inscryption Act 3 and wished it was available as part of Kaycee's Mod, then this is the mod for you.

Installing this mod will give you the option to play against either Leshy or P03 when you start a new run. Selecting Leshy will give you the standard game you're used to, but selecting P03 will send you to the land of Botopia, where you will draft robotic cards (including all new cards created just for this mod), explore procedurally generated maps, fight off bounty hunters, and purchase upgrades with your hard-earned robobucks. And at the end of it all, P03 is waiting for you in an all-new boss fight.

A Personal Message from DivisionByZ0rro (7/19/2022)

It's been a while since you've heard from me. Life changes quickly. I got a bad case of Covid, I had family members get seriously injured, and was just generally unavailable for a while.

Working on this and other Inscryption mods has been an amazing collaborative journey over the past months. Ever since I completed Inscryption for the first time in the fall of 2021, I spent all of my spare time (and then some) working on modding this game and being a part of an incredible community. But unfortunately, things change, and I cannot keep this up moving forward. I simply don't have the same amount of spare time that I used to, and it's time for me to move on.

I have nothing but gratitude for everyone who supported me and helped me accomplish what I have been able to accomplish. I know I'm leaving work unfinished, but I know that would be true no matter when I called it quits.

If anybody wants to continue any of my work, I hereby grant unrestricted permission for anyone to fork any of projects and make it their own moving forward. This work was always a passion project for the community, and I would be honored if anyone on the community wanted to continue that work. Please feel free to copy anything I've done and use it for yourself.

Thanks for everything, /0

How does this mod work?

When you install this mod, you will see two 'new run' options on the opening screen for Kaycee's Mod. You can either start a New Leshy Run (the default KCM experience) or a new P03 run (this mod's experience).

P03 runs differ from Leshy runs in a few significant ways:

1. You have more choice over how the maps play out:
   • You can fight through the four zones in any order you choose.
   • You are not forced to use any map nodes that you don't want to. (Pro tip: you still need to add cards to your deck - matches last longer than you might be used to).
2. Most of your choices are based on how you manage your currency. You will find currency on the map, and you earn it by 'overkilling' P03 during battles. (Pro tip: you should deliberately overkill as much as possible if you want to build a strong of a deck as possible). Every upgrade you select will cost you robobucks. The only thing that's free is adding new cards to your deck.

There are also some changes from the way P03's gameplay worked the first time through:

1. Bosses have been updated. G0lly and the Archivist are the most significantly different; both of them have completely reworked second phases.
2. There is a final boss fight against P03. He has...some thoughts about what you're doing.
3. Some events work differently (see below).
4. There are now NPCs that will give you quests with rewards for your run.
5. And there...might be some other hidden secrets as well.

The runs are still similar to Leshy in significant ways:

1. You will still start with a draft.
2. There are a number of starter decks that you can pick from to help guide your selections through the rest of the game.
3. You must complete four battles against enemies before facing the boss. Once you beat the boss, you're done with that zone and can't go back.
4. There are now rare cards available to you. You will be given a Rare Token for completing a boss, which you can spend at the draft node to get a rare for your deck.

Events

Some events play the same in this mod as they did the first time you played through Botopia. However, some are different. Here's what you need to know before spending your robobucks on an event:

• Build-a-Card: This is mostly the same as before, but the ability pool has been modified. The Unkillable sigil is no longer able to be added to a build-a-card, and a few new abilities (such as conduits and cells) are added.
• Gemify Cards: This behaves the same as before.
• Items: You can buy an item like you would in Act 1. However, you can only get one item from each shop.
• Overclock: This is significantly different. As before, the overclocked card gets +1 attack. However, when an overclocked card dies, it is not just removed from your deck. It is replaced with an Exeskeleton with the same set of abilities as the original card. So if you overclock a Sniper and it dies, you will get an Exeskeleton with the Sniper sigil.
• Recycle: Instead of getting robobucks back for your recycled card, you get a draft token. Normal cards get you a standard Token, with all of the card's abilities imprinted on the token. Those abilities will transfer to the card you draft with it. Rare cards get you a Rare token, which can be exchanged for another rare card.
• Transformer: You now select two cards instead of one, and the transformation causes one card to transform into the other.

NPCs

New in Version 2.0 - you will now encounter NPcs scattered throughout the map who will give you optional side quests that you can complete for some additional rewards!

Challenges

Some challenges simply don't work in this context. Any challenge that doesn't work will be 'locked' and you won't be able to select it.

If you've created a new custom challenge and you want it to be compatible with this mod, you need to set a flag named "P03" on the challenge using the Challenge Manager in API 2.4+

ChallengeManager.FullChallenge fch = ChallengeManager.AddSpecific(...)
fch.SetFlags("P03");

If the challenge does not have this flag set, it will always be locked when the player is setting up a P03 run.

Adding more cards to the pool

If you want to add more cards to the pool for use in this mod, you need to add one of five new unique metacategories to your cards. These metacategories control which regions the cards can appear in choice nodes. For example, a card that has the 'TechRegionCards' can only show up in the draft node at the hub of the map, or in choice nodes in the Tech region ("Resplendent Bastion").

All of these metacategories have this plugin's GUID: 'zorro.inscryption.infiniscryption.p03kayceerun'

The five metacategories are:

• NeutralRegionCards: For cards that can appear in any region.
• WizardRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Wizard region (these cards should be gem-related)
• TechRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Tech region (these cards should be conduit-related)
• NatureRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Nature region (these cards should be beast/animal related)
• UndeadRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Undead region (these cards should be death-related)

Note that this does not control which battles/encounters the cards appear in.

Here is an example of how to do this in code.

public static readonly CardMetaCategory WizardRegion = (CardMetaCategory)GuidManager.GetEnumValue<CardMetaCategory>("zorro.inscryption.infiniscryption.p03kayceerun", "WizardRegionCards");

CardInfo myCard = (...);
myCard.AddMetaCategories(WizardRegion);

Modding encounters

Unfortunately, custom encounters and regions are not currently supported by this mod. Perhaps sometime in the future.

5.0

• The Great Transcendence is complete

• Additions:

  • Two new achievements (and associated stickers) have been added.
  • One new challenge has been added.
  • Significantly overhauled the map generation algorithm, focused on expanding the types of terrain and environments that can be generated. The forest now has a snowline, the factory and undead crypt are now explorable, etc.
  • Added four new quests that have talking cards as their rewards for completion.
  • Two new secret rooms have been added to the map; one providing a cosmetic customization opportunity and one with an optional minigame.
  • Lockjaw Cell is now a common.
  • Urchin Conduit has been added as a new rare. It is a factory conduit that spawns Urchin Cells. Consequently, Urchin Cell is no longer in the card pool.

• Balance Changes

  • The blocker that G0lly plays during the first phase of the boss fight now scales with difficulty.
  • The "Buy Your Buddy" achievement now correctly unlocks at SP 6 instead of SP 5.
  • There was a defect with how pre-queued opposing terrain was being processed. A number of encounters that were supposed to start with pre-defined cards in the opponent queue simply were not. Fixing this defect will have a side effect of making a handful of encounters more difficult than they were before.

• Bug Fixes and Tweaks

  • Activated abilities can no longer be activated while the hammer is active.
  • Taurus now repeatedly destroys cards in the opposing slot until it is empty (e.g., Frozen Away, Bounty Hunter Brains, etc)
  • Custom cards with no names now are assigned a random name.

  • Bounty Hunter kills are now tracked as statistics.
  • The Hopper sigil can now appear in the sigil machine and the Build-A-Card machine.
  • The Flammable (M0l0t0v) sigil now flips vertically when on an opponent card. It also causes cards to have the "fuse" animation.
  • Cards with holographic portraits now properly re-activate their normal portraits when transforming.
  • Amber no longer appears on the map when she shouldn't.
  • NPCs that had unique models in the base game (e.g., Amber/Pikemage) now have the same/similar models in this mod.
  • Expanded the bounty hunter generation algorithm with new names, dialogue, and portrait components.
  • Fixed a bug in the interaction between Electric and Sharp.
  • Fixed a bug where the original three beast transformation options were not appearing in the beast transformation node.
  • The "Transform When Powered" sigil now interacts properly with all cards that have predefined evolutions.
  • A bug fix for the Deck Editor mod by Peaiace is now included.
  • Fixed a number of bugs with the Experiment card. This card is still quite buggy; feel free to reach out to me on Discord as you discover more bugs.

4.4.1

• Resolved a memory leak with how asset bundles and audio files were being loaded and (not always) unloaded.
• Improved the performance of rendering RGB cards and made them only render on player cards.
• Fixed a defect where the Data Cube didn't work in generator battles
• All turbo vessels now are marked to flip their portraits when strafe goes in the opposite direction
• Fixed an issue with the rulebook as it related to a special item.
• Properly marked both sides of Asmanteus as being rare colored.
• Fixed an issue with how the generator battle resolved.
• Fixed an issue with how certain 3D cards rendered in the final boss battle.
• Made the "Burning Adrenaline" secret achievement slightly less difficult to unlock.

4.4

• Balance change: The "Overwhelming Entrance" sigil (3leph4nt's sigil) is now an activated ability that still triggers on entering play. The activation cost is 4 energy. This allows you to retrigger the Elephant's disruptive effect multiple times during battle. Additionally, this effect now shuffles the opponent queue and no longer shuffles terrain.
• The currency catchup mechanic was broken and players were receiving way too much extra money. Ultimately we decided to remove it altogether. Players will receive significantly less currency in pickup nodes. We will keep an eye on how this affects gameplay and determine if any additional tweaks to the currency system are necessary.
• Fixed a defect where a particular NPC's quest would never complete.
• Fixed a defect where the sticker printer could print stickers that were no unlocked.
• Added another patch to handle the randomly appearing robobucks node in Central Botopia.
• The Clock battle has been completely reworked and a new terrain card has been added to support the encounter.
• A significant update to difficulty: the top half of all battles (according to number of player deaths) have been made less difficult. This was accomplished by entirely eliminating one opponent card somewhere in turns 2-4.

4.3.13

• Fixed a bug where the Scarlet Skull achievement would not unlock. If you have been personally affected by this bug on any version less than 4.3.13, feel free to reach out to me on Discord for a retroactive fix.
• Fixed a bug where switching to and from the deck review with the fast travel map open would allow players to bypass the Broken Bridges challenge.
• Copypasta can no longer copy itself.
• Stickers no longer show through cards when facedown.
• The enigmatic Tapeworm has replaced the Ringworm.

4.3.12

• Fixed a defect where the effects of the Strange Encounters challenge could bleed over into a subsequent run.
• Fixed a defect where sometimes the Overwhelming Entrance sigil would freeze the game indefinitely.

4.3.11

• Made a slight change to the global difficulty curve. Regardless of the number of difficulty challenges active, Map 2 will now be slightly easier.
• Fixed an error in the Minecarts encounter where turn 3 spawned a Double Gunner on difficulty 4+. Made a couple of fun tweaks to the encounter while I was in there.

4.3.10

• All Mr:Clocks now have 2 health as previously advertised.

4.3.9

• Potentially fixed a couple of long-reported and difficult to reproduce bugs that I had not previously been able to resolve.
  • In some strange cases, an extra money drop would appear on the Central Botopia map. I was finally able to come up with a way to consistently make this happen, and then fixed it. Hopefully this will no longer happen.
  • If a sticker was already on a card, and you then opened the sticker interface and rotated that sticker without also moving that sticker, the position of the sticker would be lost. This has now been resolved.
  • The sticker tablet should no longer get stuck on the table if you rapidly open and close the deck review screen.

4.3.8

• Fixed a defect where the Recycler was giving out the incorrect token type.

4.3.7

• The formula for how much SP the Build-A-Bot machine gives you for your card has been modified to be more consistent across all types of cards.
• Fixed a defect in the formula that determines how many Robobucks are in each pickup on the map. This should slightly increase the amount of money the player receives.
• Bounty Hunters and Friend Cards with Bifurcated Strike now have an additional attack reduction. Surprisingly, the base game did not have a check for this already. This will mostly affect very high bounty levels.
• Mr:Clock now has 2 health instead of 3.
• The Mox Obelisk terrain now has the "Dust Giver" sigil instead of the "Great Mox" sigil.
• The following encounters are moderately easier: Attack Conduits, Stinky Conduits, Zoo, Final Boss Phase One
• The following encounters are moderately harder: Obnoxious Conduits, Gem Shielders, Conveyor Latchers, Sentry Wall, Emerald Squids

4.3.6

• Fixed a defect that caused the G0lly bossfight to softlock.

4.3.5

• Fixed a defect where selectable cards (i.e., cards in deck review) with custom gun animations caused the game to softlock.

4.3.4

• The "Guardians" (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Guardian) are now named "Sentinels" (Ruby Sentinel, Sapphire Sentinel, and Emerald Sentinel).
• Dialogue can now be advanced using the spacebar in addition to clicking with the mouse.
• The Busted 3D Printer now changes its portrait when the L33pB0t sidedeck challenge is active.
• Curve Hopper, Dr. Zambot, Ignitron, and Street Sweeper now have special gun models.
• Skeletons created by the Skeleclock ability retain their name.
• G0lly's friend cards now can't have energy costs higher than 6.
• "Unkillable when Powered" and "Unkillable" now work correctly together.
• Dr. Zambot's upgrade effect no longer makes beast mode cards revert to bot mode.
• Fixed a performance issue with the "Conduit Gain Ability" template where opposing cards moving from the queue to the board would cause a framerate drop.
• Fixed a defect where if you somehow managed to draw a Seed, playing it would softlock the game.
• Fixed a defect with the Kaycee's Run lifetime stats screen where stats were not properly being displayed.
• Made a minor visual tweak to the second phase of the final boss fight.

4.3.3

• Refactored how encounters are managed internally to be compatible with the latest version of Pack Manager.
• Added three encounter packs to be compatible with the latest version of Pack Manager.

4.3.2

• Fixed a defect with Splice Conduit. It now correctly reads the card's current attack and health when splicing instead of its base attack and health.

4.3.1

• Balance Change: Emerald Guardian now has 1 power instead of 2.
• Balance Change: Green Mox Buff now grants 2 health per gem instead of 1.
• Balance Change: Weeper now has 2 health instead of 3.
• Balance Change: Encapsulator now has 3 health instead of 2.
• Balance Change: Any card which has a gem now counts as as Gem Vessel. The biggest impact this will have is that Gem Dependent is easier to work with now.
• Tweaked the color balance of rare cards.
• A new cosmetic reward has been added for completing the Scarlet Skull achievement.
• Fixed some defects with the random salmon painting rule.
• Fixed some defects with the minimap where sometimes you could trigger fast travel at the wrong time.

4.3.0

• Balance Change: Shield Smuggler now has 3 health instead of 4.
• Challenge Update: Both of the Bounty Hunter wanted level challenges have been combined into one. A new challenge: "Strange Encounters" has been added. Battle modifiers (Sticker Battles, Trap Battles, etc) are no longer active by default; they are now gated behind this challenge.
• A number of challenge points have been modified. This doesn't change the challenge itself, but the amount of points its worth.
• Fixed a defect with the Eccentric Painter challenge and the composite rule infinite loop trigger.
• Properly fixed the audio layering defect with the Eccentric Painter challenge and the Unfinished Boss fight.
• The Dead Byte sigil now always damages its owner instead of always damaging the player.
• Fixed a defect with the interaction between Big Strike and Flying.

4.2.8

• Fixed a visual defect in the second phase of the final boss fight when a certain effect of the Eccentric Painter challenge is active.
• Fixed a visual defect with the painting displayer and the Eccentric Painter challenge.
• Fixed a visual defect where NPC models always had the same configuration as the player's model.

• Fixed a defect where the random bounty hunter ability was incorrectly calculating the energy cost of the bounty hunter.
• Fixed a defect where the sticker customization screen was trying to display ability stickers and then softlocking.
• Fixed a defect where Copypasta was not copying temporary mods.

4.2.6

• Fixed a defect where stickers in Sticker Battles sometimes didn't actually give the sticker ability to the card.

4.2.5

• Mr:Clock's ability now always rotates clockwise.

4.2.4

• Fixed a softlock when using stickers on your cards.

4.2.3

• Latch Battles have now been replaced with Sticker Battles. They are functionally the same as before, except the abilities are not granted with latches, which means your latches can still work during the battle.
• The Eccentric Painter challenge now presents you with three randomly selected rules and asks you to pick one of them. This makes the challenge less difficult, but far more fair. As part of this change, all rules that had previously been banned are now unbanned.
• Gem Auger is now a rare, and the Gem Strike sigil is part of the rare card pool. The rulebook entry for Gem Strike has been updated to match the behavior of the sigil - there are now no longer any restrictions how many times the card can attack.

• Hellfire Commando now costs 4 energy instead of 5.
• Made a small gameplay tweak to an early part of the P03 final boss battle.

• Fixed a bug with variable stat icons and the Photographer drone.
• Fixed a bug with the audio in the Unfinished Boss when the Eccentric Painter rule is active.
• Updated the icon for the Energy Hammer challenge and the No Remote challenge.

4.2.2

• Battle modifiers (latch battles, conveyor battles, etc) now appear less frequently and with lowered intensity.
• One of the empty backpack challenges is replaced with the "Missing Remote" challenge. This means that a Scarlet Skull run will still start with only one item (the Amplification Coil) but can now buy up to a maximum of two items. Scarlet Skull is still bonkers difficult.
• Fixed an animation issue with certain cards in the finale.
• Fixed a defect where quest givers would not remove cards from your deck when their purpose was complete.
• Tweaked the rewards for the Power Up The Tower quest.
• Fixed a defect that allowed you to duplicate the Hunter Brain.

4.2.0

• The final phase of the final boss has been modified to be a little bit harder.
• Death Latch is no longer considered a negative ability.

• SwapBot actually works now. But I've said that before. Many times.

• Fixed an issue where paying to reroll card choices for [redacted] resulted in the same choices.
• Fixed a bug where abducting a card with a UFO did not cause gems to update.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the Green Mox Buff sigil softlocked the game.
• Fixed a bug with the reward for the Bounty Target quest.
• Fixed a bug (hopefully) where the Mr:Clock sigil would softlock the game if the card died or was otherwise removed at an unexpected time.
• Fixed a bug where Conveyor Battles (and slot modifications in general) did not properly clean up when exiting to menu during battle.
• Fixed a bug where Conveyor Battles were not properly in the randomly selected battle modification pool.
• Fixed a bug where the missile launcher sigil breaks Build-a-Bot.
• Took another stab at making SwapBot actually work right.
• Added missing pixel art for Oil Jerry.

4.1.1

• If an NPC would give you an item as a quest reward, and your backpack is full, the NPC will now stick around until you have an empty slot to take the reward.
• Quests that modified battles for 5 games now only require 3.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the Detonator ability would softlock the game in rare situations.
• Fixed a bug where the "set slot on fire" Canvas rule would softlock the game in some situations.
• Fixed a bug where the random Canvas rule challenge would break the Canvas boss.
• Fixed a bug where a random Canvas rule could be selected a second time during the Canvas boss.
• Fixed a bug where missiles don't cause Swapbot to swap under certain circumstances.

4.1.0

• A number of bugs that had their roots in the API have been fixed. Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of the API when installing this!!

• Added three new effects to the Canvas rule set.
• Overhauled the encounters in the Resplendent Bastion zone to be slightly more intelligent.
• Fixed an issue relating to the interaction between Seedbot and the Fecundity sigil.
• In Latch Battles, the latched ability is now visible in the queue. This makes it easier to plan around your opponent's cards and makes their "on resolve on board" effects actually happen.

• Fixed a bug with the Photographer boss and Ability Conduits.
• Fixed a bug with Explodenate breaking under certain conditions.
• Fixed (hopefully for good) an issue where sometimes nodes on the map appeared on top of each other.
• Updated the dialogue database to consistently apply punctuation

4.0.4

• Cards with flying will now be able to fly over Holo Traps during Holo Trap Battles.
• Holo Trap Battles now deal 10 damage when the trap is sprung instead of outright killing it. This means you can survive them with a shield (e.g., shield generator) or tank it if you can somehow get enough health.
• Fixed a defect with the burning slots that I accidentally introduced with the last patch.
• Updated the texture of the Laser Rifle item.
• Fixed an issue that could arise with some bosses where certain scene effects wouldn't reset after battle.
• Made a small tweak to the boss scene effects for the final boss.

• One of the hidden quests was misbehaving - it should be fixed now.
• G0ph3r, P00dl3, and Hellfire Commando have new portraits.
• Flamecharmer is now 0/3 instead of 0/4, and gives all cards on your side of the board Made of Stone instead of just itself.

• KNOWN ISSUE: There are problems with the latest version of the API and the way that shields behave. We are working on those as fast as we can.

• Tweak to the battle modification system to prevent occasional softlocks when battles tried to clean up.

4.0.1
