  • []Selection of Prize - Instead of Rerolling the prize, you get a popup of 3 prizes to choose from.  Also still governed by the existing rules of what items are eligible.

  • []Adjusting of Arena and Tournament XP - the original goal of the mod, enable the ability to gain xp in arena and tournament fights.  The official versions have this now, so this simply let's you adjust the amount you gain.  Officially by default it's 33% in tournaments and 6% in Arena fights.  You can adjust this to your liking.

If a feature is disabled the associated harmony patch does not run, leaving the game completely untouched.

Primary Goals

Make tournaments more exciting with new options, more rewarding with various prize options, and more customizable so you can get the tournament experience you desire.  To that end, I plan to expose to the user a variety of options so let them dial in their desired play-style/results.  By default, I will try to set the settings to something I believe is fair/balance and close to the original intent of the game designers.

Design Goals

I will try to give you full control over all the options that I create so that you can choose how you want to play. I will not restrict options or try to simplify options. If options need more documentation please ask. I'm always open to ways to improve the in-game tooltips for options and the organization of the option screen to be as clear as possible.

Tournament Prize Features:

Allows player to re-roll the tournament prize before entering the tournament.

Allows the player to pick desired item from a pool of available items before tournament.

Allows user to define a custom set of Tournament Prizes to win from.

Allows Tournament to pull Inventory from the local Town for tournament prizes.

Allows Filtering of Prizes of all sources (vanilla list, custom list, and town) based on value of the item.  You can set a min / max value of items.

*Level scaled prize value. Instead of a hard-limit of items between a certain value, this will start growing the value range as you level up, allowing for a progressive set of better items.

Alternate Odds System

The vanillia game odds are based on your level + 30, plus leaderboard ranking compared to the other opponents.

The alternate system is based on your combat skills + hp + handicap + ranking  vs opponents combat skills and hp and rankings.

To encourage a handicap, you can increase the base value of the prize item

based on handicap.  Larger the handicap, more valuable the prize, but
