#Archipelago Multiworld Multi-game Randomizer
1 messages ยท Page 8 of 1
I needed 30 for the last blocking reward
And I can't enter Jabu Jabu's belly in the first place
So I guess I'm still in BK mode
Looks like it then yeah
Ah well, back to Hollow Knight
Minecraft is saved
Using a hint to find out its just another thing locked behind lullaby 
HUGE rutos letter for flitter
What's it do?
Oh finally
One charm for Flitter
Nice work
Full clearing fire temple without farore's wind sucks
I don't even know or understand how Farore's Wind makes it easier, I just know I hate Fire Temple
Water, Forest and Spirit are fine
Shadow may be my most hated, but it's either a tie or a close race with Fire
If you fall down the shaft you can use it to get back up, because when you cast it, the return point is set to the last door you used
That is one of the worst advancements, I am glad it's virtually useless

I don't have to summon wither
Huge relief
I feel like a lot of hard or annoying advancements are just few rupees for yay
-Escape the Ender Island (post-dragon) : Bolero of Fire for wcct
-Construct and place a Beacon : Deku Stick for wcct
You have the option for disabling hard and impossible advancements
So I think they'll all have trash
Maybe that's how it works. I got Bullseye advancement which gave me 25 pones iirc, and that is a "hard advancement" according to minecraft itself
Although I don't know if Archipelago counts it as hard
Hm
wcct's Bolero of Fire being post-dragon is unfortunate
I am pretty sure I also disabled "post-boss advancements", but I guess it has some weird logic or smth because I have structure randomiser
If you want I can tell you whether impossible or hard ones have trash or not by looking at the spoiler file
It seems fair since you explicitly turned them off
What's Sudoku do?
It randomly shows what item one of my locations(advancements) have
when I clear a sudoku
Oh!
These are what I'm getting from Sudoku, I'm gonna keep updating it
Ok most items are trivial, I shouldn't really care about them
yikes
The advancement is opening a chest in a bastion remnant
I checked with compass, it is in neither overworld nor nether
Which means it's a post-dragon advancement
I mean I need brewing to even access it
I can probably beat it with beds if I can access it
lemme see if I can use a hint, I think I can
ok my Brewing is under 50 skulltula of yay
Oh shit
Was shutting down to go to bed but figured I'd check in real quick
Will get that for you one sec
If I'm lucky it'll be a breeze after getting Brewing
if not I may struggle a bit
I have exactly 12 ender pearls
I mean what are the chances of finding a 0 pearl portal
Which means if at least one of them fails and I have 0-filled portal, it may take me a while
Are potions required to kill the dragon with these settings or is it just to make it easier?
The frame has the highest probability of generating with only one eye of ender (37.7%), with probabilities dropping to 28.2% for zero, 23.0% for two, 8.52% for three, 2.13% for four, and a total of 0.433% for five or more.
I can't make blaze powders without Brewing
Cool
You gonna give bed strats or a shot or play it safe?
I think I'll go for bed strats, I can't craft diamond stuff
Hell yeah
Gonna watch some speedrun tutorials
My favorite part about randomizers is learning new speedrun strats without the pressure of actual runs
Hence why I keep offering to teach some basic OoT tricks to Wcct lol
I didn't realize it would be this hard to track a flying eye of ender
Yeah it is surprisingly difficult sometimes
At least endermen should have a slightly higher spawn rate by the time you hit the fortress just because of your distance from spawn
I love learning speedrunning tricks. I'm excited to do some on my future OoT runs
Oh shit I'd love to teach you some, Flitter.
Then you'd have to play the next Archipelago run with me
I've played every run so far
Yeah! I'm glad you did
Would definitely be down for the next one
Might pick less overwhelming settings next time though lol
Also we should probably figure out what everyone needs for go mode at this point. I imagine most of us are getting close
Good idea. Let me hint for my two other dreamers
They're uh
Monomon, Lurien, and
Herrah!
Ah woops, ran out of hints
[Hint]: FlitterHK's Lurien is at Dead Bird Studio Basement - Logo Wall in Chip1's World at The Subcon Well. (not found) @fierce vale
I need 4 triforce pieces
I need four more dungeon completions, and a way into Zora's Domain. The main thing holding me back here is that for the dungeons where I have boss keys, I can't actually access the boss doors with my current trick skill level. Water requires light bridge (15 heart containers) and longshot, shadow requires ZL to ride the boat, and Spirit needs one more small key I think. I need boomerange to beat barinade in jabu. So I basically need a decent assortment of ZL, boomerang, and small keys/boss keys
I am further away than I thought lol
I could not find my stronghold 
Ah well
as soon as i find that rift, im p sure i can complete both hatty time saves
Great!
though chip2 might need some more yarn
Am keep trying some sudokus, most advancements I have are useless as shit which is a huge relief
But I'm pretty sure I will eventually have to grab that Lift Key for Chipmon
henlo, lift key would be nice
Well wish me my luck for trident drop then
and by nice i mean "lift key is a mandatory progression item" so i shall very much be wishing you luck
Good morning. Time to explore Jabu Jabu's belly
Holy hell. Is today the day I get an Ocarina
I have like 10 of the 12 songs, it would be huge
Oh wait you don't have a boomerang
@sage dawn Here's my other Ocarina
[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Ocarina is at GC Medigoron Pot in yay899's World. (not found)
I do have the boomerang
As soon as I actually figure out how to actually find Jabu Jabu, I'll be there
Oh!
You have to take your bunny ears off or the king will just laugh at you
https://i.imgur.com/LBh53pg.png Hint 19
Time piece for Chip1
overall, how far into this archipelago are we now?
maybe next time I'll do multiple games to "make up" for missing this one
doing multiple games is fun
As long as you're sure you won't burn out
i dont knwo if i'd wanna do it for something like hollow knight, but simpler games like hatty time and pokemon is fine
well this time I was burnt out before the thing even started so I had to skip it, but that had nothing to do with games
Hollow Knight is a simple game
but i am far simpler a person
Hollow Knight is also more punishing than some of those other games
All you have to do is find all three dreamers to win the game
You could mod it to make it less punishing
I think Pokemon is more "complicated", although like most RPG-adjacent games a veteran probably ignores 90% of it and follows a fairly simple strat
yeah, but i haven't played it as much relative to the others so i dont know the map as well
That's what the Archipelago map mod is for
pokemon red is just like, fundamentally broken, so you can just rip it apart as much or as little as you want
Shows you the whole map with every check (with an option for hiding it until you buy the map from Cornifer)
I did HK here as a 2nd playthrough and it was great, but this probably just means we're looking for different experiences out of a randomizer
i've only really done a cave skip and the silphscope skip
e.g. for me the whole point of the randomizer is to no longer "know" anything but the core movement/combat mechanics
Princess Ruto has a find item animation https://i.imgur.com/9xGtcp7.png
Is there a mod to play as Ruto instead of Link? She's cuter
since I've long since forgotten map details
its gonna be fun with emerald, which i might do next time ( i might do pokemon red+emerald+hat in time, if more people do more games i'd consider doing hollow knight or ds3 or some other longer more open game, but 4 games might be to many even for me)
atm I'm thinking by the time we get to a 3rd of these, I'll want to do Blasphemous + Link to the Past
and by then I might've (finally) played Hat in Time
(wonder how much Blasphemous 2 + Link Between Worlds will confuse me for that)
I have acquired Wcctnoam's ocarina
Oh, and the shadow medallion
Having three medallions means I can do trials
Ocarina 
And my light arrows were one rupee for yay
All right. That's enough for today
I have these checks remaining https://i.imgur.com/YXivYMi.png
It's surprising to me how many of these checks I can do despite not having essential items still
@weary lagoon Horseback archery whenever you want
Nice
I don't think you should do one risk of rain
RoR2 honestly you cam do however many you want
Please don't though
I think I'll probably take a rest from Archipelago after this game
I don't have plan to play oot or pokemon and I have no plan to buy a game for this so I have to figure out what game I wanna play later
Understandable. You're welcome to join again at any time
If you're interested in any steam games on the list I can check if I have a DRM-free copy you can use
Thanks, I'll think about it
you can also check the diacord for games with pull requests against them which should be safe to join on
a hat in time is in a similar state, though ive had to add a couple of mods to fix bugs(stuff like forcing the mail delivery badge into my inventory, and force completing a level that checks correctly, but didnt get marked as done, both of which got fixed a patch later, and are pretty easy to fix with prevision)
though none of the PR games bar terraria seem to be your cup of tea
Alright, that was semi-productive BotW
My next and probably last big blocker is Zelda's Lullaby
There's a pot in that room???
Yeah
Sorry for missing that. I've been able to do that pretty much since the beginning
Np, honestly I wouldn't know that pot existed either
I guess this was supposed to be my first ocarina and not Flitter's
Because Flitter's wasn't happening
And for some reason the first time I hinted the Ocarina I only got one of them
Real. Let me set up, join me in VC
this is gonna be great dinner entertainment
thats how the grindset is..
Last time you tried to stream your own rando it didnt work 
much better
[Hint]: Chip1's Relic (Cake Slice) is at KF Storms Grotto Chest in @sage dawn 's World at Hyrule Field -> HF Inside Fence Grotto. (not found)
henlo, this please
HERE WE GO BAYBI
Will do
holy shit am i a dumbass, i thought a check required the umbrella that didn't and had basically a chapter locked behind it 
i coulda got this like hour 1 of pokemon rather than basically completing it
gosh darn it me
Yeah probably
I know I already did the rest of GTg
It's nice to have every GTG key at once. No wrong doors
the only way you can pick the wrong door is going to the right at the start
[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Zeldas Lullaby is at Spirit Temple Child Climb East Chest in Artiks's World at Kakariko Village -> Bottom of the Well. (not found)
another person with something important behind my song of storms 
@sage dawn you probably know this.. If bottom of the well entrance is my spirit temple, does that mean all of the adult checks in spirit temple are barren?
If you have dungeon entrances randomized, lowering the water as child opens the well for adult too.
They open up several entrances with that setting to both ages. Fire gets opened to child, and deku and well both get open for adult.
The only really age locked entrances are forest, ganon's castle, jabu, and ice cavern.
At least glitchless
Also I learned a new way to use low grav iron boots to skip two keys in forest and I am proud of myself uwu
Even though I learned it to avoid learning a precise megaflip that is significantly faster
Although I do appear to need those keys for two pots so with my current settings it's not a full clear
But it's a pretty much full clear
I wonder if Flitter found zeldas lullaby today
Only one way to find out
im actually going to die from 12 hearts with all these traps
Thought you guys had gone ham today but I only got a boss key
I didn't find Zelda's lullaby. I found an ice trap
Now it's time for me to do the trials
trying to figure out my path but I think im just locked behind you getting my longshot
Have you talked to the altar in the temple of time to see where your forest medallion is?
You should do that and then come back with the good news of it not being in the shadow temple because your nocturne requires 3 spiritual stones
yeah
Oh I probably need to do it as child because it's not telling me
when you do it as child it tells you where the stones are, adult tells you medallions
you must have turned it off
you cant do the fire temple boss with megaton hammer and boss key?
Looks like I can't https://i.imgur.com/5Q9oCgJ.png
Maybe there's a skip I could do!
then theres nothing stopping you from doing everything in the fire temple
Tracker says fuck you you can't do it
No
wheres your hookshot..
thats my hookshot in your graveyard royal familys tomb chest
the one im stuck behind
did the forest medallion hint go through
No, I decided I don't want to go for it
thats smart its at the end of a dungeon anyway
Do you have hoverboots?
Not yet
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Progressive Hookshot is at ZR GS Tree in yay899's World. (not found) @sage dawn
What's ZR GS Tree?
Zora's River
Zoras river gold skulltula in a tree
yeah its sphere 0
Well you need to be able to reach Zora's river
No the tree is before the boulders
I mean you have to be able to get out of Kokiri forest
maybe its sphere 1 because you need something to kill the spider
๐ช
The fort skulltula reward https://i.imgur.com/uY860rA.png
The 50 skulltula reward is just a single rupee
Yeah but all 100 is infinite rupees
Time for me to learn a skip. Is reverse wasteland hard?
No just follow what someone on youtube is doing
Can I do it with this automatic tracker's map instead? https://i.imgur.com/WblPR6m.png
I dunno I havent done that
does your tracker say you cant do more in the spirit temple?
Correct
kinda weird
That looks accurate
Only 3 checks when you can open up both child and adult side
I did those
Okay, the tracker map works but I have no idea how to actually find the chest by the ghost pillar
light the torches
Oh there are torches
Oh there's an area under the platform
That makes way more sense
you're gonna have like 3-4 entire dungeons open for you once yay picks up your hookshot hehe
this is pretty funny
He totally is
Reverse wasteland was all good. I found a piece of heart
Looks like I can't actually do any new skips yet
yeah you're not getting any further without longshot or hoverboots
unless you wanna learn how to bomb hover I guess
That one seems harder, so maybe a future run
Hover Badge for Chip2
i think chip1 might just be blocked until i get 34 total time pieces at which point i'll probably just beat the save and release it
chip2 i'm still playing and has more checks, i haven't checked chipmon in a while since it had like 3 very specific items
Forgetting random low sphere checks is the theme of this run for me
Yeah, it's actually hard to keep nine hundred checks in mind
Hi, @sage dawn can you get me my hookshot in Zora River so I can play the game?
Thanks!
Before: https://i.imgur.com/M9qL8Ye.png
After: https://i.imgur.com/gkWZf2M.png
Looks like Forest Temple is entirely available except for Phantom Ganon
How can you even tell which surfaces can hookshot you?
well theyre usually wood
usually
just experiment its not always consistent either
Also all chests
Dang
Yep! They are made of wood
I guess I'll start with forest temple then
cant you clear fire temple
if your boss key is in the dungeon I guess you can clear forest too
no thats a deku nut
You can also hookshot those pillars with the circles on them
FlitterOoT sent Master Ball to Chipmon (Forest Temple Falling Ceiling Room Chest)
Go catch that rattata in Mewtwo's cave
In the boss room my ocarina is greyed out
what did the boss drop
Miss..
Hm, hold on
Oops
I walked all the way to the phantom ganon area
Then accidentally entered the portal instead of picking the item up
Hookshot 2 https://i.imgur.com/S5UwXta.png
Time to do the fire temple
Volvagia time
The reward was trash https://i.imgur.com/3ua5r0N.png
And the forest medallion
Sheik had Zelda's Lullaby
And the map fucking lit up https://i.imgur.com/SrsJiyo.png
ZL is huge
after 2 weeks, I can finally play the game
FlitterOoT sent Snatcher's Contract - Queen Vanessa's Manor to Chip1 (DMT Great Fairy Reward)
https://i.imgur.com/MGS0P3L.png Thanks I'm cured
That's enough Zelda for today
Remaining checks:
Spirit Temple: Compass Chest (A)
Gerudo Fortress: Chest on Top (A), Archery 1500 points (A)
Gerudo Training Ground: Before Heavy Block Chest (A), Heavy Block First Chest (A), Heavy Block Second Chest (A), Heavy Block Third Chest (A), Heavy Block Fourth Chest (A), Eye Statue Chest (A), Near Scarecrow Chest (A), Hammer Room Clear Chest (A),Hammer Room Switch Chest (A), Underwater Silver Rupee Chest (A), Maze Path Second Chest (A)
Water Temple: All
Ganon's Castle: Spirit Trial Crystal Switch Chest (A), Spirit Trial Invisible Chest (A), Light Trial Lullaby Chest (A)
Zora's Domain: Zora King (A)
Zora's Fountain: Great Fairy Fountain, Iceberg Piece of Heart (A), Bottom Piece of Heart (A)
Ice Cavern: All (including a song)
Death Mountain Crater: Great Fairy Fountain (A)
I've got a lot of random shit I missed to clean up, but I think at this point I'm mostly waiting for either hover boots or for Artik's to get me ZL from his final frogs
I might be able to do that today now that I have longshot
Do I need song of storms for that or is it everything except that one
You need every child song
Sidenote, but if I skip the bulk of shadow and use a small key to unlock the room before the boss door, there is a very small chance that the seed can become unbeatable (if literally every other shadow key is locked in the middle of shadow). Should I avoid doing that?
I wouldnt 
ive forgotten to get the poe until now so lets see what it is
a red rupee!
time to eat breakfast then ill grab everything in gerudo valley and whatever GTG is
Wallet for Yay
Goron tunic for wcct
GTG is dodongos cavern
Slingshot for Yay (or just ammo)
The spirit temple is jabu jabu
never been here as an adult 
oh my god I found my lullaby
zora tunic for wcct
@clear summit progressive weapons and progressive tools found
Lullaby for @sage dawn
and Lullaby for wcct

Nice, I was waiting for that keyring
@fierce vale hope you dont need this
it would be useful, i dont know how many spawn yarns are in the pool
vanilla there are a shit tonne of spares
I got it
Flitters Herrah
Alright im pretty much done with my game!
I need these two and keyring for gerudo training grounds to get my last checks
Other than that I just need 2 triforce pieces to win my goal
i need 3 more thingies to beat chip1
i haven't checked if people got the stuff for chipmon in a while
Oh with Herrah I have all three dreamers at least known
But I need the full ending so I gotta find the third king's fragment too
Looks like chip found a triforce piece so one to go
chip2 won
I'll see if I can find a jungle biome
I need amethyst for spyglass and a jungle biome for parrot
Good luck, and thank you in advance! You can also get it by finishing the game and releasing if it's too much trouble
It all boils down to if I can find the stronghold
I used random website to triangulate but I think the coordinates were off
you're running modded so the seed generation is probably different
That can be true
Worst case scenario I may need a structure compass
WOW
I think I have every structure compasses except Stronghold compass, if that exists
I have to check
ok Stronghold is never randomized and thus I think it doesn't have a compass
Hoo boy time to grind a lot of Endermans and Blazes
wait you cleared pokemon?
I thought you need lift key 
also i'm just releasing that because its just running around getting things
Thanks
i thought i did! apparently it didn't
i apparently needed the card key not the lift key for opening the gym 
i got plenty more
๐ i need to be sent 2 more time pieces then its the clean sweep baybeee
Hint for them
i have no idea what the missing time pieces are called
since they're all time piece (something)
a not that urgent request for @sage dawn, theres like 8 checks behind it but i dont know what they are
Will get to it eventually. Have been procrastinating on that one because I don't have enough small keys to full clear shadow yet and it's out of logic because I don't have hovers.
ZL or hover boots
Play Zelda's lullaby to the waterfall to make it sleep
I should have brought a bottle full of fire
That's what ice cavern is for
you're welcome
Looks like chip releasing gave me the last triforce piece
so I just have to turn the game on to complete my goal

(also i think its just the 8 checks on chip2 that are locked behind a key item, and the remaining are locked behind a bug that id need to update my hat in time randomiser mod to do which i cant be bothered so i'm just gonna release em after i get the yay based checks)
Alright, cleared everything except Shadow Temple
[Hint]: Wcctnoam's Mirror Shield is at Colossus Great Fairy Reward in yay899's World. (not found)
OMG the best item
Oh when Artiks got a recovery heart my HP got filled up all the way
But when yay did, I got only one?
Must be because it's a great fairy fountain
That's enough for today. Tomorrow I'll go through the Water Temple
yeah the fairy always heals you
Makes sense
I hate the shadow temple, but here I go
hm
my favorite use is on the poes in forest temple
dont use em much outside of that
Bongo Bongo can go fuck himself
Great against the hands, and the tiny hands
hes so easy...
Monarch wings!
I think I only hate Twinrowa
Maybe if you can control where you aim
And somehow Z never wants to pick the other hand
Twinrowa easily the worst
Phantom Ganon can be a pain
Volvagia so fkn boring
Alright, time to get my "light arrows" and that's BK mode for me
Alright
Good checks, Monarch Wings for Flitter
Straight from Bongo Bongo himself
And Song of TIme
After that I think I'm done
Though I don't have ganon's Castle's keyring, and if I need the boss key I don't have it either
I'll check
What is song of time needed for?
Ganon is unlocked
So I could've finished the game ever since I got light arrows, but that doesn't seem right to do
I'll wait for keyring of the trial doors and count that as my boss key
Good morning. Time for a spot of OoT
Who designed the water temple? I just want to talk
Missing a lot of stuff in it because of no Song of Time
Why would anyone make this room? https://i.imgur.com/fD74xye.png
You just need long shot
I have long shot, it's just annoying
Morpha had a timepiece for Chip1
Lead for Jay
you only have hookshot there in vanilla its pretty awful
Looks like Hollow Knight is back to BK mode
I have the most checks locked behind Grimmchild2
is that something that can be aquired by someone through a hint
I'm out of hints!
fair enough!
you can use hints to find out what a couple of your own checks are right? i have like 3 checks i can get on both hat in time saves and wanna hint em
sry, I'll struggle playing any Minecraft for few days, I have reserve force training for 4 days and I get exhausted after it
Yes, you can do hints for your own locations
Didn't expect to be this busy 
is it just !hint (check) ?
I think it was !hint_location
๐ค
Use !hint_location {location_name},
for example !hint_location atomic-bomb to get a spoiler peek for that location.```
all games done
Nice work
and just releasing since theres like 10 checks i could get and the rest are bugged unless i updated
i got your funny item
Yes, that's the last of the dreamers
Now I only need a king's fragment to finish Hollow Knight
if we started litterally like 2 days later i wouldn't have run into like half the bugs i did
i'll wait till yay sends me her item for chip2 and complete that stuff before releasing it at least
Apparently you could skip the stupid climbing section in Spirit Temple with longshot
That's a must
Spirit Temple is done, and that gives me the Kokiri emerald, meaning I get a bunch of checks for child Link
The ocarina of time was one rupee and taught me the nocturne of shadow
Okay, that's all I can get without hoverboots
I could do the biggoron quest but I'll do it later
Biggoron had a recovery heart for Artiks, and now I'm back in BK mode. Let's see if Hollow Knight has more checks
Nope!
Just gotta wait until Jay or yay play again
Bow for yay
Sorrrry
Turns out I had two more checks in Hollow Knight! For some reason I finally fulfilled the requirements to fight the white defender, and I also opened the egg temple which has one check.
Hello, friends. This is a reminder that this game is scheduled to end by the end of August 31.
I intend to start a September game so if you're interested, think about how much time you want to play over the month and what games you want to play.
I think starting by next Sunday, September 3rd, is a good idea, but if you need more time to think, Thursday, September 7th is a good candidate.
I'll try my best to finish
wtf are you supposed to do if you run out of magic in Ganon's fight
pull a piece
What?
~~it was a joke saying you should just pull a gun
~~
Oh
Pots under him right
They have me nothing
They gave me arrows
And rupees for some reason
Are you supposed to just reload?
Bring a green potion next time?
You can let him break the castle walls to drop stuff
I can't buy green potions
I wonder where my second magic meter is, but no hints left
Did you shuffle scrubs and shops?
Yeah
If you want extra hints I can look in the spoiler log for you
Nah
Okay, good luck!
Eeyup
now i gotta figure out what i wanna do next time
gonna add 1 more game every time we do this, i can do 4 games, i believe in me
Just do one game with four thousand checks
gonna add ds2 but add a possible check for exhausting every single enemy in the game
i will make it so you have to kill giant3 in tower of flame 10 times for a key item
HFV is gonna be a nightmare
i mean, that just how you gotta clear it anyway
I usually do my three NPC summons and then run the hell away through the buildings
Encountering three to five dang deer on the way to Lud and Zallen
unrelated; presming my memory of hollow knight is like, the first 1/4 of the game, would it be reliable for me to do it in the randomiser with the map? if so what settings/can i just steal yours
Absolutely
๐ค
I'll make a set of recommendations for you. Don't steal mine because they're really designed for use with my modset
i'll probably do ds3+hk+pokemon emerald, though i wanna check some things before i lock that in
What's your preference regarding splitting dashing, attacking, swimming (in acid or water) and crystal dash?
Having them split can be a frustration all the way to the end of the game because technically you don't need all sides so the logic doesn't give them to you
But it's a limitation that's fun for some people
im fine with that
Okay.
These are my recommendations for you
They randomize as many things as possible, do not randomize geo rocks (There's like 400 of those, but you're free to turn the option on if you like.) and they don't expect you to do any skips
You may want to lower the maximum charm requirement if you don't want to wait until you get every single charm. 25 is a good number.
that sounds alright, i might turn on the rocks because big number settings are fun, but i'll check when i get home
This also makes it so your charms cost 55 notches in total instead of 90
Around two thirds of the normal amount. This tends to make the game a little easier, so change it to -1 if you want vanilla costs, or -2 if you want to shuffle
Finally, I've made it so each shop has 8 items, and 32 extra slots are distributed into all shops
You can pump this number up to 16, but this will add random geo rocks into the pool to balance it out
I'd better start looking at yaml files when I get home
I think I will skip september
they will have ootmm ready for the next one fooor suuure ๐
Yea, the plan for MM is implement OOTMM. Then rip out the OoT for MM solo is a quote I've seen, so maybe
On the other it's not going to be any time soon
They're waiting for development on OoTMM to slow down before they start
They can't work on the individual MM randomizer because the license is not compatible and the developers of the randomizer don't have the time to make sure they can grant an exception
Last time I looked around the issue was that the MM rando was coded in another language than Archi
Im interested in the full OOTMM anyway
Language is not relevant
Archipelago integration is its own code for each project
yeah, it'd be pretty rubbish as a cross-randomizer protocol if it wasn't even a language-independent protocol
imma just release chip2 too since we're close to the deadline and idk how much yay will play in the next couple of days (if at all)
That makes sense. Without further drops I still can't finish my Hollow Knight game
dont really wanna release
Oh I need that
It's fine! The game is planned to be done by August 31 but we can go over until you're satisfied with it
well im done
I'm certainly not releasing hollow knight until I'm done
i released mine when it was "run through levels pickin up checks that will just take an age" barring chip2, which was locked behind yay playing a fair amount more
i just have 3-4% left I can get with items from yay and one unknown
That makes sense.
By the way, Hollow Knight got an archipelago update
So update the mod
i got you a bow and a golden skulltula if that helps artikins
these and gtg keyring can get me checks
Grimmchild2 has like twelve checks? It's nice!
11 checks
Including shadow temple key for yay, claim check for Wcctnoam
Big Goron's greatest work was deku seeds
He spent six years on those seeds
so I'm looking at Link to the Past settings
Bush Shuffle
Randomize chance that a bush contains an enemy as well as which enemy may spawn
this sounds hilarious
It also means you'll be forced to systematically destroy every bush
wait, that includes non-trash mobs with important item drops?
I don't know!
lol
A Hat In Time isn't listed on the archipelago site; where does one go to set that up? (or is it still in an "experts-only" state?)
Manually edit a YAML
A Hat in Time is almost finished but it's only implemented in apworld form right now
There may be a few bugs but it'll work fine if you follow instructions. Chip might know more
if you dont use the portrait randomiser it theoretically works without bugs
the two major bugs i ran into are fixed
The portrait randomizer sounds as bad as the Mario 64 Mario color randomizer
(It gives your character random colors, including racially insensitive ones)
I think I've done all the required setup for Blasphemous and LttP, but when trying to test LttP I can't seem to get RetroArch and Archipelago to talk to each other 
it puts the subcon forest portraits into the randomisation item pool, so you need a bunch of random progression checks for it
I see
i think at the moment it just doesnt put them into the correct spheres? theyve been talking about it today in the discord, but i didnt read it all
I can look at it tomorrow. Bizhawk may be simpler since we know how to operate that
For Bizhawk, you start Bizhawk then load the correct ROM file then start the archipelago connector client then load the lua script that connects the two
Any other order and it goes bad
oh also apparently theres a bug based on having multiple hatty time players, that i didnt run into
I am out of ideas for getting it to launch RetroArch so I'll try the BizHawk instructions
I must be missing something because half these setup instructions refer to things that don't exist
Do you have the correct version of Bizhawk?
https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/A Link to the Past/multiworld/en doesn't mention a specific version
You might need to install the archipelago software again (and check the components that allow you to generate a game)
I already did that to install the LttP patch thing, even downloaded an older version of the ROM to pass its validation
There is a specific version and it's either 2.7 or 2.9. Let me check
ok so the instructions are missing something that basic 
2.7
2.7. Lua integration was changed later and you need a completely different script
There is a script for newer versions but I don't know how to get it to work
ok, on 2.7, step 1 mostly points to a real menu option, so that's a good sign
uh... let's try 64-bit connector script?
oh you said archipelago first
The connector script has to remain in the archipelago folder, so don't move it to the Bizhawk Lua folder
Oh you also have to have a game to connect to
the Lua Console has "Connected to SNI", the Archipelago SNI Client has "Attached the luabridge://...", but nothing randomizer-y happens even if I make a new save file, or after I try running the /connect archipelago command the site gave me
Are you loading the original ROM or the modified one?
original Japanese rom, no revs
From the game page on archipelago.gg you will get a file that launches Bizhawk and the connector app
That file will launch the correct ROM. The randomized one
it said the same thing about retroarch but all that .alttp file does is launch the sni client which then complains there's no snes anywhere
You need to do that locally through the archipelago launcher (independent from the client)
So generate a game locally and use the original ROM to generate a ROM with randomized items
I can do that for you if it seems like too much work
After you generate a game locally, you can host it on archipelago.gg and resume normally
I'm just confused, that doesn't sound like it'd help with making an actual Archipelago multi-world game connect to all of this
Right now it looks to me like you can connect but there's no game to connect to in Bizhawk
And there's no game because you haven't made one yet
ok I'm already getting contradictory claims here
You can't connect to the original Japanese ROM because the items there are not randomized
is double-clicking the .aplttp file supposed to launch an emulator or not?
again, the instructions on https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/A Link to the Past/multiworld/en say it will launch whatever emulator I have installed
but you basically just said it won't launch BizHawk
Sounds good
and in practice it launches nothing and still doesn't work even when I had BizHawk with the rom loaded
Well, what I'm saying is you don't seem to have a randomized ROM in the first place. Do you?
does "randomized rom" mean something other than the .aplttp file?
Yeah. The aplttp file just looks through your archipelago installation for the correct randomized ROM and launches it
Let me take a screenshot of my OoT installation
huh, the linked instructions don't say anything about a randomized rom, just the regular rom and the .aplttp
If .aplttp doesn't launch the emulator for you, you have to launch it yourself and find the randomized ROM to put in the emulator but things should work after
oh hang on, I changed my .sfc program from retroarch to bizhawk, and now double-clicking the .aplttp launches bizhawk with the rom
Here you see the correct ROM on top and the vanilla one fourth in the list
ok this looks randomizery
Great!
"Ganon has moved around all the items in Hyrule and beyond." 
With the randomized game running, it's time to start the archipelago client if you haven't, then the lua script last.
do you mean the arch text client, in addition to the sni client it auto-opened?
So there are four things to connect:
The game hosted on archipelago.gg, which talks to
The archipelago SNI client, which talks to,
The lua script, which talks to
Bizhawk.
The text client is unnecessary
Excellent
yep the site's room log is showing proper connection messages
Ideally you would test with another game so you can make sure you have the ability to send and receive items but that never becomes a problem in practice
ok that looks pretty randomized
That's all you need! See you when we play next
the first chest has a rupee instead of a lantern
Hell yeah. The code above is the seed
I think I'm convinced this is working
yeah, displaying the seed via items is a cute choice
Yeah if the log says you sent yourself an item then it certainly can send and usually that means it can receive
You should play OoT with no Kokiri sword
There are surprisingly many ways to kill enemies anyway
[root at 2023-08-29 20:14:08,586]: (Team #1) Ixrec sent Rupees (20) to Ixrec (Link's House)
now I should probably double-check that Blasphemous also works with the "Generate Game" button on the arch site
Well you have bombs, gauntlets, magic, slingshot, arrows, epona
you're a child so scratch some of those
Hmm
oh yeah I am missing a few steps here
Apparently you can never start as adult without the master sword.
thats true you cant turn into an adult without it
mmm, Blasphemous is still claiming "The required mods are not installed" for multiworld, though I just did a clean uninstall and reinstall of the game and the mods
I've no clue how blasphemous works but I'll be glad to try to get it to work when I have time tomorrow
to be precise
You can use the Mod Installer to uninstall the Randomizer and Multiworld mods, and then grab the correct versions from GitHub.
Mod Installer: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Mod-Installer/releases/tag/1.0.1
Randomizer 1.4.5: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Randomizer/releases/tag/1.4.5
Multiworld 1.0.3: https://github.com/BrandenEK/Blasphemous-Multiworld/releases/tag/1.0.3
If you would like to test the new features of Randomizer 2.0 early, you can add the `blasphemous.apworld` file to your worlds folder (default path: `C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\lib\worlds`) and generate a game locally. Here is also a template yaml with all of the new options that you can use. Then you can either upload it to the Archipelago website like normal, or host the game yourself.```
Apparently the docs are outdated and the website has not been updated in a while
wow
The next major version is coming soon
You can generate a blasphemous game using the local setup instead and that should work
Or you could downgrade
I don't even know what "the local setup" you're referring to, is that something usable in an actual archipelago game?
Yes
Just like how the last paragraph points out
All you need to do is use the archipelago launcher to generate a local game then host it later on archipelago.gg
For that you need the .apworld file (like in A Hat of Time)
It's a CLI application but you shouldn't need any arguments.
oh "local" here means the Archipelago setup is a file on my machine instead of something the website or you manage
Yes. You create a random list of items and write it into a file that archipelago.gg hosts
Rather than doing the same but on their remote servers
anyway I already downloaded the old mod versions and it looks like that fixed everything
Excellent
[root at 2023-08-29 20:44:48,424]: (Team #1) Ixrec sent Knot of Rosary Rope to Ixrec (BotSS: Beginning gift)
nice, I burned a great starting item on the test run lol
If anyone else uses a .apworld file then it won't be any extra effort for me to generate a blasphemous game on the new version
if you're asking whether I care about which version of the Blasphemous randomizer we use, I do not
considering this just seemingly worked, I assume the yaml I already made using the arch site is happy with these older versions
Yeah
the optional PopTracker integration also seems to work, though unfortunately it doesn't show rosary knots so not 100% on that
thanks for finding all those arcana
on the one hand this makes me hesitant to try adding a third game, but on the other Hat in Time is the only one of these three that we've had someone play before so it should be less of a headache, especially considering what chip said about that just getting an update?
I don't know if you should jump from one game to three but you know you. Remember that you'll be expected to put enough time to finish them all in around three or so weeks
you're right, let's stick to two
if I was just replaying each of these games vanilla then it would barely take one week to do all three, but of course the point of the randomization is to introduce a bunch of complications
just encase it changes your mind about things, hattie time just fixed like, most of its bugs that i knew about and has a poptracker up and working
i think i'll stick to 3, i could defo easily fit all 4 games in i wanna play but i'll be nice to myself and give myself leeway on hk
now i just gotta decide between hattie time again, or ds3 again
yeah, I think I'd rather have the leeway to deal with any further technical issues, and just the fact that jumping between two different games I've only played once before is already a lot to keep track of
especially since unfortunately both of these have setup steps I have to remember to redo every single time I launch either game
Good afternoon
No new items for my Hollow Knight game, but on OoT I have the golden scale!
That means I can do the Lake Hylia lab dive
It was just one deku nut for Artiks
Maybe I'll try a no hover boot skip for shadow temple if one exists
Meanwhile:
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Hover Boots is at LH GS Lab Wall in yay899's World. (not found) @sage dawn
Ok I can go to End now
Nice!
Watching bed tutorials
I did the megaflip https://i.imgur.com/WDkVTK3.png
Oh god, now I have to do one into a moving platform https://i.imgur.com/dk4nlpS.png
I don't think I'll do that. I'll just wait for hover boots
Oh neat
What's this advancements bar and why does it stop at 40?
Also, since you seem to be equipped with diamond gear, why are you going with bed strats?
:( didn't go well
aw
- My defense is shit (no diamond armor/no shield/no potions to buff), cheesing is easier
- My aim is shit, my arrows barely hit
The advancement bar is there because Ender Dragon is locked until 40 advancements
That shit is legit hiding the Ender Dragon health, I have to find a way to remove it
I see
Honestly I almost feel like giving up this point
That's absolutely fine. You did the work. The game's only good for as long as it is fun.
That's silly
I did the dragon fight for 10+minutes
I couldn't even see the health bar
I used like 100 arrows and destroyed like what
5 crystals or smth
Looks like this is an issue that sometimes happens.
As long as you get a dragon next time it'll be fine
No you can just jump that.
You have to jump as it's falling. Kinda awkward.
But yeah I can get you hovers now that I have boomerang.
Also congrats on learning to megaflip!
Thanks. I tried the non-Nayru's Love megaflip and it was pretty tricky. The magic one is a bit easier.
Yeah the magic one is a lot more lenient.
I generally do the non-magic method but I never learned a setup so I only succeed like 1 out of 6 times.
I have 9-5 reserve force training for 4 days since monday, I cannot even afford a lot of time
Would not recommend trying to time things by feeling.
Whoa I know two Jays who are in the reserves now?
Understandable. If you want to return to it later, it's fine, but if you're done, please do !release now.
Also I genuinely do not know how to turn off this advancement bar thing
It hides boss health bar and it's so annoying
You might be able to do it by just editing the mod files
Leftslash!
Correct. We're in the end game!
Does Bolero of Fire matter actually
Bolero is pretty optional
Yeah
Bolero of Fire is a quick teleport to fire temple. Very convenient
sometimes its required in logic if you get it before hookshot or something
There are two checks locked behind it in logic but you can megaflip for both of them.
Child bean patch skull and the the heart piece you get to with the bean as adult.
Uhhh I guess there was a slingshot for wcct
Also yeah what Artiks said
What I learned is that Minecraft sucks for Archipelago
Is there no way to get to shadow temple aside from the song?
Not glitchless
Minecraft might be better if you're playing with a bunch of other minecrafts (in a synchronous game)
We should do Minecraft bingo some time.
Maybe, if the "no hard achievement" shit actually works
Well it looks like "no hard achievements" had no important checks hidden behind hard achievements. Is that true?
I am definitely not interested in a Minecraft bingo, but I'm interested in the bingo concept in general
I mean the thing is
I don't even know exactly what is considered as "hard advancement"
Also structure randomizer sucks
It would be nice if they let you disable advancements individually like oot does
That makes sense
[Hint]: FlitterHK's Dashmaster is at GF HBA 1500 Points in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)
I'm never getting Dashmaster
That check indeed sucks
I did it at 75% speed emulation, but I'm using keyboard
And I'll never do it again
It is better with controller but not much
Honestly looking back it wasn't actually super awful. It just requires time and is quite tedious.
I can definitely "complete" it if I have bunch of time and will to grind stuff
Or if I was good
skill issue
Probably better when everyone is playing low check count games and I haven't dumped like 850 junk items into the pool.
Yeah. It can be pretty frustrating to do a bunch of work only to find one rupee for someone else
Like it's really weird
With structure randomizer, Ender dragon technically requires only one check. Brewing.
The thing that makes timing the skip hard is I can't reach 60 FPS here
Makes sense why they'd lock it behind forty then
Yeah, and you can adjust it if you want
Dude oot runs at 20 fps
Hmm
If I press fast forward I can get to 80FPS
So maybe it's just emulating an N64 and it lags here to 45
Yeah bizhawk is meant for tassing so I think it emulates console lag.
Oops, jumped too far
There!
How come some wallmasters split into small hands when killed and some don't?
I wonder if HBA is the hardest heart piece in a zelda game
Turns out you can reach the falling platform even while it's stopped at the bottom, but I couldn't because no reason
Hmm, This one looks like it might be doable with a megaflip too
Wait, nevermind
You can reach it with a jump
Doesn't look like the final room is reachable without hover boots https://i.imgur.com/LOt0cwg.png
Looks like there is a skip for it but it involves going out of bounds https://youtu.be/f3uXLa21Yhw
OMFG its finally a reality. This should save alot of time. we just need a setup now. BOAT SKIP HYPE :D
Good evening
It's the last day!
We're almost done. https://i.imgur.com/61LSkoV.png
Though as with before we still need @sage dawn to play to progress any further
Sorry I have a deadline at work that happens to line up with tomorrow. I should maybe release
If you would like to continue another day, I could just dip into your game and get my hover boots myself then keep playing.
Otherwise, releasing is fine. No pressure!
I don't want to hold anyone back
I'm having a blast just playing with you
Don't worry about holding anyone back. I intend to run my part of the game until the end, but I also intend to start the next one by tomorrow so everyone has the opportunity to play this weekend
hmmm, do i do this option
Should be fine as long as the shopkeepers are not randomized
Problem is you will have to find every hidden and difficult to reach consumable
i do anyway, though i'll probably just release once i kill the final boss again
Okay
All right! Please post it again tomorrow after I announce the game
okey dokey!
apparently i have to make a server to generate a template pokemon emerald yaml
i'll figure that out later
It's done
With my beautiful beige tunic
This is why Link doesn't get Zelda. Terrible fashion sense
Damn, only 90% completion
I released so check your games if you wish
hes done it
I could've done it as soon as I got magic, whenever that was
I really thought I needed Ganon's key
I can do it for you since I already have the game set up
ty kindly <3
Gotta get out of bed first but I'll generate a test game for you pronto
no rush, i'm working from home tommorow so can just do the things whenever
should we do any test game stuff tomorrow when Iโm WFH?
i dont think theres anything we need to
You just need to make sure each game works by testing it yourself (and you did)
Time to generate Pokemon Emerald
Apparently I need to update my installation to 0.4.2 (in dev)
For some stupid reason they host release candidates at https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731214280439103580/1144786112540319774/Setup_Archipelago_0.4.2_RC4.exe
@fierce vale You got a copy of the Emerald ROM that I can patch?
sure, gimme a sec
Also feel free to customize the YAML and send it back (or I'll use it as-is)
ascended name
I tried to go for what you would name it
oh hey, this one default starts with hm02 fly
my name is significantly less punnable
Very handy, surely
I found a template with info
Oh but apparently it's for an older version
it should be sufficient info, thanks!
it filled the two bits of information i wanted!
Hmm
I have no idea how to patch the emerald file. There's no setting for it like the other ones
Oh right. I've been trying "Open Patch" and just forcing it to load the file
Which worked but provided no output (usually does in other applications)
Okay, I made a test game you can try here, https://archipelago.gg/room/Zp7Crw-KTma9JDYAEek-Kg
And the ROM is here.
It's announcement time again!
Thank you all so much for playing with me in the August Manechat game. I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until October. If you're interested, please read the list of available games https://archipelago.gg/games and pick one or more games to run, then ping me so I can keep track of you and help you out with any problems.
The game will start By the end of Friday, tomorrow.
Also I'll ping people who might be interested here:
@ancient harness, @clear summit, @weary lagoon, @warm walrus, @sage dawn. (Ixrec and Chip already have their games ready)
Oh, and one more thing. Please don't join unless you can commit to playing at least a little bit every three days. It's very frustrating for everyone to be stuck because you didn't play and your world has the one item the whole game needs to proceed.
I am interested and would like to run Dark Souls 3 or Stardew Valley
Sounds great! You should generate a singleplayer randomized game and once you get it to work, copy the YAML file, and send it to me
Not me for this one
should we say something in #1032716748887179434 too just in case we can rope in someone brand new?
Yes, I plan to announce in #1032716748887179434 a couple of times later.
cool
pokemon done
