Have you tried without Beatable Only? That can cause some weird placement behavior and the game might think it cannot be beaten.

dim holly
#

just tried that and it still doesn’t work

#

What happens if you manually place boots in LW or start with them?

#

Likewise with sword

dim holly
#

it works when I do those

#

but I don’t want either of those manually placed for my actual runs

dusk flicker
#

I worry that the fill is placing too many items in the LW locking out places where sword boots and lamp can go

dim holly
#

If you’d like I can send the exact settings I’m trying to generate

dusk flicker
#

I’m not in a place where I can play with customizer for several hours

dim holly
#

no worries

dusk flicker
#

It’s possible for a customizer setting to be so restrictive that it causes generation failures due to chance even when a beatable seed is possible

dim holly
#

i have tried multiple generations and it never works

#

is there a way to make something generate randomly in the light world?

dusk flicker
#

Yes with yaml but I don’t know how

dim holly
#

hmm

dusk flicker
#

I think this might require use of mystery yaml

#

But you can set subweights that shuffle items in a subset of locations

#

For example, we have a no logic preset that guarantees big keys are on bosses (not necessarily their own)

#

That’s not mystery, so it should be possible to do what you’re trying to do. I think it’s a cool mode idea btw

#

It reminds me of lightspeed

dim holly
#

I wouldn’t even know where to start with editing yaml data unfortunately 😭

dim holly
#

but yeah i’d imagine this is some sort of bug and not intended behavior

#

maybe it’s not taking into account that I have all 3 pendants in the light world? idk

#

I recommend starting with lightspeed

dim holly
#

for now my workaround will be putting the actual master sword on the pedestal, but this might cause the fighter’s sword not to appear in the light world :/

dim holly
dusk flicker
#

btw this is what happens when you have a preset that has limited options for legal placements

dim holly
#

is this showing that it took multiple attempts?

dusk flicker
#

Yes. Took six tries

#

Depending on how restrictive your preset is it could take way more than that

dim holly
#

I’m still really wanting to get this preset to work. Does anyone know how I can set items to be forced to appear in the light world?

#

or maybe it really is a problem with the logic, idk. No matter how many times i try to generate, even with a guaranteed master sword on pedestal it will not generate at all…

I just tried generating a customized seed with your restrictions and it worked first try. maybe some of your dark world item placements cause the seed to actually not be beatable? how did you place them?

dim holly
#

Here are the two methods i tried:
(both have moon pearl on pyramid ledge & cape on lumberjack cave)

1:

  • Progressive sword on pedestal, blacksmith, & pyramid fairy (one is random)

2:

  • Fighter’s sword on sahasrala (green pendant), Master sword on pedestal, & progressive swords on blacksmith / pyramid fairy

Neither seem to work. Again I have it on standard with no cross pendant and crystal shuffle.

#

this is strange, it generates properly for me

#

I'm also double checking the playthrough each time to see it pull ped and then defeat Aga for DW access

dim holly
#

are you using the customizer on the website?

static sundial
#

yes

#

best I could suggest is try resetting everything, and inputting everything again

#

maybe there's some setting in there that shouldn't be there that screws it up

dim holly
#

i’ll try that

#

thanks for the help btw

static sundial
dim holly
#

i recreated it again and it didn’t work so i’ll try using yours

#

thanks so much

#

ahh i might see the issue

#

I have shuffle pendants and crystals on (not crossworld, but shuffle)

#

that seems to be the issue

#

Ok so i found the bug:

#

When Swap Pendants and Crystals Crossworld is off, enabling both Shuffle Crystals and Shuffle Pendants causes the customizer to break.

Should i remove this post and make another showing this exact bug? I’d imagine it’s an easy fix

dusk flicker
#

I think it would be a good idea

#

Anyone who saw this thread and didn’t add themselves to it would not see these messages

static sundial
#

it might be slightly harder to find the underlying issue because it's also dependent on the items that were placed. for instance, if I take this same preset and only remove the progressive sword from ped, it still generates
