[Feature request] Unlock Professional mode from the start #291

Open Arthandas opened 2 years ago

Arthandas commented 2 years ago

Describe the feature you'd like to see added

Pretty straightforward - add the option to unlock the highest difficulty without beating the game first.

I love this game, but I can't make myself play it without Professional Mode. It's so disappointing. Enabling professional mode from the start would also come with the added benefit of being able to play professional mode WITHOUT any of the overpowered weapons, like the Chicago Typewriter.

It would make challenges much more exciting. I'd be willing to donate to anyone that can figure out how to make this work and updates the mod.

Seems we mostly had the pieces needed for this, just had to add some extra code to allow the menu to be reloaded while keeping any flags updated by the user.

Should be working on the trainer branch now (build at https://github.com/nipkownix/re4_tweaks/suites/9282985500/artifacts/435159799), just open re4_tweaks menu UI -> Trainer -> Flag Editor -> choose EXTRA from the dropdown, and there you can choose what things you want to unlock. (might try adding some kind of shortcut for this later on, since EXTRA isn't that obvious that it's for unlocks...)

After editing the flags you need to back out of the main menu to the RE4 logo/"press any key" screen, then the unlocks from the flags should be applied.
