function Start-Noita { | |
<# | |
.SYNOPSIS | |
Starts Noita from a PowerShell prompt, optionally with a specific set seed for a new game. | |
.DESCRIPTION | |
To use this function, copy and paste the complete function definition into a PowerShell | |
session, and then invoke it with `Start-Noita`. Supply `-Seed somevalue` if you would like | |
to run a specific seed (see the examples below). | |
.EXAMPLE | |
PS> Start-Noita | |
Starts Noita normally. | |
.EXAMPLE | |
PS> Start-Noita -Seed 1 | |
Starts Noita with a fixed seed value of 1. | |
.EXAMPLE | |
PS> Start-Noita -Seed 1 -Path C:\Noita\noita.exe | |
Starts Noita from the requested location with a fixed seed value of 1. | |
Use this form if your copy of Noita was not installed via Steam, or modify the default | |
setting for $Path below before loading the function into your PowerShell session. | |
.NOTES | |
If you want, you can load this function into your PowerShell profile as follows: | |
1. Copy the entire function definition from top to bottom to your Windows clipboard (Ctrl+C). | |
2. Run the following code in PowerShell: | |
Get-Clipboard | Add-Content -Path $profile | |
3. Close and reopen PowerShell to load the newly modified profile. | |
4. Run `Start-Noita` directly as needed. It will be automatically loaded in any future PowerShell sessions. | |

It seems fine to me, but it doesn't want to work.
Maybe I missed something
Like I said, you need to copy the whole file. Help comments at the start are inside of the function declaration, so if you cut those off, you've also cut off the function Start-Noita {
declaration. If you copy the file as a whole, without leaving bits out, it'll work. 🙂
I'm an idiot :D :D
Thank you
You may need to adjust the execution policy if this is your first time messing with PowerShell. Start PowerShell as administrator, run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
or Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
. Note: doing so will remove some script running protections so you may want to undo this later on with Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined
Thanks.
Although as a person who doesn't know much about PowerShell and doesn't know much about computers, after unremitting efforts and your guidance, I finally succeeded as I wished
Not sure if this still works, It opens the game but the seed still is random

I believe it doesn't work with the newest version (January 18th 2024 patch), it also just opens the game, but the seed is random. Worked just fine previously.
Any chance of an update that works with the latest version? I'm not sure why it refuses to actually set the seed
Edit: I get no errors, it just launches with a random seed each time anyways.
Not sure if it'd help typing here but I had the magic.txt file open while starting a new game, playing for a while, and closing. Went back and forth between the txt file window and the game a few times to see if anything has changed. Noita creates a new magic.txt file when opening or closing the game. So even if you edit the variables inside manually, it wouldn't work. (Technically, its not something wrong from the script)
Yes, when I try the scripts around April, I found it doesn't work. So I use the mod to change the seed. | | @.*** | | @.*** |

Which mod are you refering to? Does it work correctly and reliably?
just a mod in the steam called Seed changer,working well

Wouldn't it disable achievements and progress if used a mod ?
I also noticed the script is no longer working with the newer version. I made sure my installation matched the script, It was working last year, but there were a number of updates recently which are likely breaking this in the Apr 30 2024
build.
I've tried editting magic.txt manually, then setting it as read only. The contents remain, instead of resetting to WORLD_SEED="0", etc.
Noita still loads a random seed though.
Can confirm it no longer works. A pity, I wanted to be able to do this without mods.
Any update on this or does anyone have an alternative that works?
There doesn't seem to be any way I can find to do this now without mods at present. Other methods may be discovered in future, but presently I think the mods are the best bet.

OK, then how do the mods accomplish it? Mean to say, the 'functionality' still exists and should be scriptable. I haven't looked at any of the seed changer mods. Which simple mod still works? I'll look at the files.
The seed changer mods are lua scripts loaded by Noita itself. It seems the magic_numbers.xml file processing feature was changed in a recent(ish) update to no longer allow setting the world seed via this mechanism.
So the only way currently that I am aware of is you must load a mod in order to force a set seed.
Aye, mods work, but certain game functionality is disabled with mods enabled, which is why this script exists. 🙂
