[center]In order to run the game on Set Seeds so the level layout, chests and mob spawns are always the same, you'll need to be play on PC. Sorry console players![/center]

Using the Dungeons Mod Manager, created by flat20 and LukeFZ, allows you to automatically set seeds when they're loaded by the game, requiring little extra effort.

#Setup & Use: Dungeons Mod Manager

Video Explanation:

[center]Use of this tool is mandatory in order to play on older versions of the game.[/center]

After downloading the .zip file, extract all of the files to their own folder where you can easily access them.

Once you've done that, you can launch DMM.exe and select which version of the game you would like to download. When you've finished downloading a version, you can click "Start Game" in DMM to launch it by itself. If you want to use this for Set Seed runs, simply check the box under Settings to have the launcher auto-inject the tool necessary for these types of runs.

As of the release of the Echoing Void DLC, you now have to add one extra file to run older versions. Download this file and place it at the installation directory as such: ..\profiles\version\Dungeons\Binaries\Win64

From there, you can play normally and the game will automatically load the seeds provided for each level, by the injected tool.

If you need to edit which seeds get loaded, simply edit the speedrun_defaults.json file. The numbers on the same line as a level's name is directly correlated. In order to keep up-to-date on which seeds are best available, you can check this public document or stay more immediately up-to-date in our Discord server provided in the sidebar.

#Set Seed for v1.8.0.0+

Due to the way the game has been updated in v1.8+, the older method of providing Set Seeds ceased functionality. In order to remedy this, we've remade the part of the tool that provides Set Seed functionality specifically for v1.8.0.0+.

Simply download and unzip this, then replace the appropriate files where you have your Dungeons Mod Manager installed, and the \Profiles subfolder.

Once speedrun.dll is placed in the root installation folder, and speedrun.exe is in the \Profiles subfolder, you can simply launch the tool and game as you normally would to do Set Seed for v1.8.0.0+.

#Windows Store Installation

In order to install the Windows Store versions, you must first download the file through DMM. If, for any reason, you cannot download the file using DMM, please try to download the desired version by using the link in the versions.json file, under \config, in your web browser. Doing so should prompt you to download it in your web browser. Just be sure to place the downloaded file in its respective profile folder.

Once your file is downloaded, make sure you have Developer Mode turned on in your Windows Settings. To get to this menu, just search for "Developer Settings" in Windows.

Now, go to where you have DMM.exe and InstallPackage.ps1 installed, then SHIFT+Right-click on empty space in the folder and select the Open PowerShell window here option.

Now, go back to where you have the downloaded Windows Store file and copy the full path to it. Once you have the full path copied, go back to the PowerShell window and run this command: .\InstallPackage.ps1 "fullpathgoeshere"

If everything works properly, it should look similar to this. You'll see a loading bar fill up and eventually disappear. Once it's gone, the game should be installed and you can play it by searching for it in Windows.

If you want to install another version, you must start from scratch by uninstalling the currently installed version, then re-install a version via PowerShell again.

#Credits

Both LukeFZ and flat20 went out of their way, with help from others like Candela, to help us make this possible. Without them we likely would not have gotten to this point. Huge thanks to them and the support they gave us.

Both LukeFZ and flat20 can be found in the Dungeoneer Hideout Discord server, or as special guests in our own Discord server.
