Variant Pool

Variant Pools contain the replacement resource paths, appearances and weights and target one category each. Variant Pools carry a .json extension and are located in `bin\x64\plugins\cyber_engine_tweaks\mods\InfiniteRandomizerFramework\data\variantPools. Each Variant Pool can only contain one resource type which must match the resource type of the category it's targeting.

The Root Object has the following properties:

Property	Explanation	Required
name	Unique Identifying Name	Yes
enabled	Current State	Yes
category	Target Category Name	Yes
variants	List Of Resources That Will Be Replacing Elements In The Category	Yes, Must Contain At Least One Variant

Each variant in the variants list has the following structure:

Property	Explanation	Required
resourcePath	Resource Path Of The Resource	Yes
weight	Relative Bias Towards This Entry. This Value Must Be Non Negative.	No, Defaults To 1
appearance	Resources Appearance	No, Defaults to "default"

Appearances are ignored for worldTerrainMeshNode and worldStaticDecalNode.

The weight is not a fixed percentage but rather a relative bias that depends on the amount of entries and their weights. For example a variant with a weight of 2 will be picked twice as often as a variant with a weight of 1, while two variants with an equal weight will be equally likely to be picked. Do keep in mind that Cyberpunk uses a lot of instanced nodes for meshes leading to some resources being replaced together as they are part of the same node. This is not something that can easily be changed.

An example Variant Pool:

{
    "name": "Vanilla-MagazinesOpen",
    "enabled": true,
    "category": "MagazinesOpen",
    "variants": [
        {
            "resourcePath": "base\\environment\\decoration\\misc\\paper\\magazine\\magazine_k_open.mesh",
            "appearance": "default",
            "weight": 1
        },
        {
            "resourcePath": "base\\environment\\decoration\\misc\\paper\\magazine\\magazine_l_open.mesh",
            "appearance": "default",
            "weight": 1
        },
        {
            "resourcePath": "base\\environment\\decoration\\misc\\paper\\magazine\\magazine_m_open.mesh",
            "appearance": "default",
            "weight": 1
        },
        {
            "resourcePath": "base\\environment\\decoration\\misc\\paper\\magazine\\magazine_n_open.mesh",
            "appearance": "default",
            "weight": 1
        }
    ]
}
