Challenge Pack - Mod for Buckshot Roulette

Now I keep even more secrets. Shall we play?

---

ChallengePack 2.0.0 for Buckshot Roulette 2.2.0.6 (Steam, Windows), Godot 4.1.1. Single-player only; multiplayer and leaderboard uploads are disabled while installed.

Play a real game with the devil! No mercy, now the game becomes really hard! Test your luck dancing on the edge of life and death!

Features

Combine four independent settings for more challenging gameplay in the standard game and Double or Nothing.

Shell Visibility:

Default - Shells are shown as in the original game.

Quantity - Only the total number of shells is visible. All displayed shells look blank, and composition and sequence sounds are suppressed. Guess which shells are live!

Hidden - No initial information about the number or types of shells. The compartment stays closed and the dealer always performs eight loading gestures. Test your luck!

Items Visibility:

Default - Items are visible as in the original game.

Hidden - The dealer can keep secrets: two covers hide his items. Covers temporarily disappear when choosing an item to steal with adrenaline, then return after selection or timeout.

Shuffle Bullets:

Yes - Shells are shuffled using the original game's rules.

No - A random arrangement is generated once, then shells are loaded in the same order as they lie on the table.

First turn:

Always First - The player always starts after loading, as in the original game.

Round Robin - The player starts the first load, then the player and dealer alternate starting after each reload.

Random - The starting player is chosen independently after each reload.

Settings are saved between launches and applied when starting a game. Mouse, keyboard and controller UI navigation are supported; Escape/Back returns to the main menu. Magnifying glasses and burner phones still reveal information according to the game's rules.

Installation

1. Download the 2.0.0 archive from releases, or build it from source using the instructions below.

2. Open the folder containing Buckshot Roulette.exe through Steam: Manage → Browse local files, then open Buckshot Roulette_windows.

3. Extract the entire ChallengePack folder next to the executable:

   Buckshot Roulette_windows/
     Buckshot Roulette.exe
     ChallengePack/
       install.bat
       uninstall.bat
       src/
         challengepack.gd
         modcfg.ps1
         ...other scripts and assets...
   

4. Run ChallengePack\install.bat.

5. Launch the game through Steam, select the single-player Start button, configure your challenge, and enjoy!

No separate mod loader is required. The installer adds only the ChallengePack autoload entry to override.cfg; repeating installation updates that entry without duplicates. Keep all mod files together and rerun the installer after moving the game folder. Other configuration entries are preserved, but compatibility with other mods is not established.

This build supports only 2.2.0.6. If the installed scripts do not match, challenge Start is disabled with an explanation. Do not edit compatibility.json merely to bypass that check.

Uninstallation

Run ChallengePack\uninstall.bat, then delete the mod folder. Other mods and configuration entries remain installed. Uninstall ChallengePack to play online again.

Preferences remain in %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Buckshot Roulette\challengepack.cfg; delete that file to reset them. Multiplayer entry and leaderboard uploads are blocked while the mod is installed; Steam achievements are not intentionally disabled.

Troubleshooting

Look for [ChallengePack] in %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Buckshot Roulette\logs\godot.log. The log reports the mod version, compatibility result and attached managers. Include the game version, selected settings and relevant errors in bug reports.

Building from source

Use Python 3, Windows PowerShell and Godot 4.1.1. The development tools expect this workspace layout:

workspace/
  ChallengePack/                  # this repository
  game/                          # extracted game project, with project.godot
  godot/
    Godot_v4.1.1-stable_win64.exe

Run build.bat from the repository root, or double-click it in Explorer. To skip the final pause:

.\build.bat /q

The script rebuilds ChallengePack/src/assets/protectors.res from the mesh and textures in assets/protectors/, then creates dist/ChallengePack-2.0.0-win64.zip and its SHA-256 checksum. It stops if either step fails. Only install.bat and uninstall.bat sit at the top of the installable mod folder; its scripts and resources are kept in src/. The archive contains the installable mod and documentation; Python and the Godot editor are not required to play.

Localization

Mod-specific text follows the language selected in the game. Russian is included; other languages fall back to English. Start, Return, Yes and No reuse the game's translations.

Translation catalogs are UTF-8 JSON files in ChallengePack/src/locales/: en.json contains the base messages, and ru.json contains Russian translations. To add a language, copy the keys into <language>.json using its lowercase language code (for example, de.json). Keep %s placeholders in the same order. Missing or empty entries fall back to English. Regional locales such as ru_RU use their language catalog. Restart the game after editing a catalog; switching the game's language updates the menu automatically.

Validation

Run the installer and engine checks from the repository root:

python -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_installer.py -v
$repoPath = (Get-Location).Path
foreach ($scenario in @('probe', 'settings_rules', 'localization', 'smoke', 'gameplay')) {
    python tools/run_godot.py --path ../game --script "$repoPath/tests/$scenario.gd"
    if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { throw "Check failed: $scenario" }
}

For checks against the installed game's embedded resources, pass --game-exe "D:/.../Buckshot Roulette.exe" to the runner and omit --path ../game. Checks do not install the mod. Logs are written under tests/.scratch/, and runs time out automatically.

Compatibility hashes pin the supported game scripts. Update them with python tools/update_compatibility.py only after reviewing changes and adapting the mod. See VALIDATION.md for automated coverage and manual acceptance checks.
