Thank you for downloading Nuclear Throne Chaos Mod! It's a mod I've been working on for a few months now and I think it's finally in a decent place for a first release. Bear in mind that this is by no means the final version of the mod, though I'm not sure how often I'm going to update it. This readme file contains some info on the mod's features and how to install it.

PATCH 4.1 CHANGELOG
- Fixed Heavy Heart appearing as Back Muscle in the HUD.
- Fixed Melting Ultra C crashing when it fires an Ultra Weapon.
- Possibly fixed potential Melting softlocks.
- Possibly fixed a Monster Style crash.
- Fixed a weapon return bug when having several Chicken ultras.

RELEASE 4.0 CHANGELOG
- You can now uncurse super cursed weapons! Look around in the Crystal Caves on loop.
- The ultra mutation system has been rewritten to allow for stacking and other things.
- Vans now deal 1 damage per frame rather than having a 20 damage melee hit. To compensate, they come out of the portals slightly faster.
- Three new gamemodes, two of which make use of the new ultra system.
- A whole bunch of new weapons. I also collaborated with BioOnPC to bring back some of the more interesting Community Remix weapons, as that mod has been cancelled.
- Merged Weapons now get ammo a lot more consistently. Additionally, you can guarantee an entwiner to spawn on dark levels by not taking any damage on the boss levels before them, and once you have combined a weapon, a mutation that makes merged weapons stronger can appear in the mutation pool.
- Several new secret conditional mutations.
- Added Rebel Ultra C, Melting Ultra B works now, Melting Ultra C, Assassin Ultra C and Steroids Ultra D have been buffed. I think Plant Ultra D too actually but I forgot.
- Mostly complete changelog with tons of minor changes here: http://pastebin.com/4N4JyLnv

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure you have the current version of the game on Steam! Although the mod is based on Update 19 code, it uses the sound files that come with the retail version. As such, the game won't run with Update 19 files. However, whether you have Nuclear Throne Together installed should not matter.
2. Copy the game data from Steam to some different folder where you'd like to install my mod. To find the data, go to your Steam library, right-click on Nuclear Throne, and click Properties. From there, head to the Local Files tab and click Browse Local Files. This will take you to the folder that Nuclear Throne is installed in. It's possible to install the mod directly into the game folder, but this is not recommended, as the normal game will not be playable while the mod is installed inside its folder.
3. Add the files from the .zip to the folder you're installing the mod in. If done correctly, Windows will ask you to replace some files, which you have to agree with if you want the mod to run.
4. The mod should now work when its executable is launched (not the original Nuclear Throne one). If you run into trouble, you can message me somewhere.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you run into bugs or have problems installing the mod, message me about it on Twitter or Reddit, or Steam if you really have to. My username is ideaot on all of those services.
