The Rainbow

Description
Enjoy Prismatic Shard runs?
With this mod, I tried to take what makes the Prismatic Shard fun, combining familiar cards in unexpected ways, and add ways to compensate the things that makes it unreliable.



How does it work?

This mod adds a character, the Rainbow, with no cards of its own. Instead, it will randomly choose characters upon starting a run, and mix their card pools together.
Before starting a run with the Rainbow, you can choose how many characters it should mix together, as well as choose between a few perks, using the points you get for every character that will get selected.

The goal is to either limit the negative impact of the Prismatic Shard by reducing the number of characters that get mixed together (which cannot be done by just giving yourself the Shard at the start of the run), or to compensate the objectively negative effect multiplying the card pool size has on a run by granting bonuses.

The character model is one of the randomly selected characters, with a rainbow overlay. Right click your character to cycle through them!

The Rainbow is compatible with all "normal" character mod, and has specific compatibilty with the Packmaster mod.


Why not just use Prismatic Shard?

The Rainbow has more functionalities:
- Randomized starting deck
- Randomized starting relic
- Ability to combine only the chosen characters
- Perks aiming to compensate the objective low reliability of Prismatic Shard runs
- Funny rainbow character model
- Randomized ending cutscene


Config

You may want to prevent some characters from being randomly selected, for example because a large part of their cards depend on their starter relic, or if their card pool isn't conventionally defined (like the Ruina characters, the Mystery Dungeon mod, and some others). Characters can be disabled or enabled with the checkmark that appears on the top right of the character selection screen.

You can also try specific combinations by clicking the "Force into pool" button. The characters with that option enabled get automatically selected for your next run with the Rainbow.

can you make it so that I can select which character is the one I get to see on the screen? For instance, if the Rainbow picks a mix between Ironclad and Defect, I want Ironclad on my screen.

my friends see an invisible character in Together In Spire. Any chance you can fix that?

how does this mod deal with character-specific relics? can you find relics for any of the classes in the card pool or can you not find any unique relics?

An option to turn of the rainbow shader would be great, probably via config.

This one sadly starts hurting my eyes after a few minutes.

Has anyone tried this with the Archipelago Multiworld mod? I know Packmaster is a little bit jank, and I wonder if this requires a similar startup UI element.

I think it works perfect with Hierophant, Goldenglow,Grimm, pack master and Hermit, because they have some open mechanisms which can create a lot of chain reaction. Is there any other character recommend to use with The Rainbow?

This is really cool. Just one suggestion. Could you make an option to make the perks random and/or an option to turn off perks? I think random perks would be in the spirit of a rainbow run.

I can see the disable option for every character except the ruina character. apparently, that character has stuff in the foreground that blocks it so now I can't tell if it's disabled or not. This mod is perfect otherwise

Sorry maybe I'm misunderstanding, I don't see the option to disable specific characters? Awesome idea for a mod though!
