Rain World: Setup Values Guide

This is a complete guide about setup settings, with values pulled straight out of game’s code.

 

What are those things?

Definition

Setup Values (or Initialization Values, often referred as setup.txt by the community) is a special set of debug settings which can be used to alter the way game works. You may be familiar with Launch Options, something that many games utilize to enable some additional functionality, however, Rain World uses a different approach.

Set up

In order to use them, you need to set up few things first:

  • Create a text file named “setup” in a folder in \Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets. Navigate into it from the root folder of the game.
  • Enable Dev Tools mod in Remix menu.

Your StreamingAssets folder should look something like this now:

You are ready now.

Syntax

All values in setup.txt should follow a pretty simple syntax: there can be only a single value per line and name of the setting and value are separated by column. Which means, it should look like this:

[Name]:[Value]
[Name]:[Value]

[Name]:[Value]

Some settings can take only a specific range of values, others allow some more freedom. I am going to specify value ranges and type in a separate columns below.

Here’s an example of my setup.txt which i use when fiddling with game code:

For your convenience, i have separated values into categories depending on their usage later on.

Debug Values: Part I
