also apparently theres a Underwater Islands Wreck - Pipes Databox 2 which was right at the bottom of the list but hidden by a ui bar thing

lament tusk
#

oh jesus christ... i figured it out

#

theres a ladder covered by a broken door

#

i assumed that was just set dressing, and you wouldnt be able to do anything with that

#

turns out, if you have a physics gun, you can move it

#

thats where my gantry was hiding, and a skultula for flitter

#

there we go, all 131 checks checked

midnight depot
#

Nice work

lament tusk
#

atleast i know that i can do that. i'd've never figured it out if i didnt happen to have a physics gun by pure chance

lament tusk
#

there, launched the rocket
i spent a bit of extra time pointlessly adding a bunch of food and water to the rocket's storage. you dont keep it and it affects nothing but i never like the idea of my char just launching into space with nothing to eat

fresh hill
#

so one of the unofficial Archipelago games is a "Manual" game, which can be configured with any items/locations/logic and is meant to be used for non-video games (like board games or miscellaneous irl tasks), or to prototype before making a proper game mod

#

and I bring this up because:

#

I don't think that's an Artiks alt

#

but GlimHmm

midnight depot
#

Hi.

#

Progress update, everyone's done except Pseudoregalia and Doom!

#

What do you need to finish Doom?

fresh hill
#

I might do the last few checks in my Pseudo later so that next time yay gets to play I can complete mine immediately

weary lagoon
#

Im ready to do whatever it takes

fierce vale
# fresh hill

@weary lagoon i'll watch one piece but it has to be under this rule set twiright

weary lagoon
#

my games next month are wind waker, oot and anime

ancient harness
#

Let me check

#

MAP02's red key, MAP05's blue key, MAP06's red key

midnight depot
#

Oh, and you have all your maps?

ancient harness
#

Ye

midnight depot
#

What's the best way to see what you need to finish? Do you need to launch the game?

#

Okay uh

ancient harness
#

Yeah the game has a great screen

#

All checks all keys all maps in one place

#

In-built tracker

#

If you have Automap, the checks are shown on the map too

#

Let me see if I can hint

midnight depot
#

The hints you can do are !hint The Crusher (MAP06) - Red keycard

ancient harness
#

Problem is having to type the whole ass-name with no copypaste

midnight depot
#

!hint The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) - Blue keycard

ancient harness
#

Also typing is in US keyboard....

midnight depot
#

You can copy paste into the text client

#

You do not have to type, but you do have to have the archipelago client installed

lament tusk
#

oh THATS how you do that

midnight depot
#

And the third is !hint Underhalls (MAP02) - Red keycard

ancient harness
#

Discord where's the other two...

#

Oh, all three images are there it just broke tiling

midnight depot
#

Oh the log says [root at 2023-11-24 14:40:02,850]: Notice (all): Wcctnoam: !HINT THE CRUSHER (MAP06) - RED KEYCARD [root at 2023-11-24 14:40:02,855]: Notice (Team #1): [Hint]: Wcctnoam's The Crusher (MAP06) - Red keycard is at Ruined Castle 08 - Lower Stagnant Blight x10 in Ixlily's World. [root at 2023-11-24 14:41:27,278]: Notice (all): Wcctnoam: !HINT THE WASTE TUNNELS (MAP05) - BLUE KEYCARD [root at 2023-11-24 14:41:27,284]: Notice (Team #1): [Hint]: Wcctnoam's The Waste Tunnels (MAP05) - Blue keycard is at Forest Temple GS Basement in FlitterOoT's World at Graveyard Warp Pad Region -> Shadow Temple Entryway. [root at 2023-11-24 14:41:52,277]: Notice (all): Wcctnoam: !HINT UNDERHALLS (MAP02) - RED KEYCARD [root at 2023-11-24 14:41:52,282]: Notice (Team #1): [Hint]: Wcctnoam's Underhalls (MAP02) - Red keycard is at The Underbelly - Surrounded By Holes in Ixgoat's World.

#

I still have no access to the shadow temple entryway

#

I have one warp song missing, so that must be it

#

Because there's no in-logic way to get there except the warp song

ancient harness
#

I can always noclip

midnight depot
#

Oh, and Meganought got me the song

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Bolero of Fire is at Grand Reef South Wreck - PDA in submega's World. (found)

#

Guess I gotta go get that quick before I do homework

lament tusk
#

glad to help

midnight depot
#

That makes almost every remaining check available to me

#

Oh, one of the items is in Ixrec's Ender Lilies game

#

@fresh hill is this one of the missed checks?

#

[Hint]: Wcctnoam's The Crusher (MAP06) - Red keycard is at Ruined Castle 08 - Lower Stagnant Blight x10 in Ixlily's World.

#

Wow, forest temple is so much easier when you have all the required items and DON'T start by going through the left door

ancient harness
#

Yeah reverse forest temple is so nice

midnight depot
#

What a weird trick

#

This chest when you flip the room

#

It changed into a boss key chest!

weary lagoon
#

what im hearing is theres no way for me to save Wcctnoam..

#

Flitter, Ixlily, I'm counting on you

ancient harness
#

I mean, I consider the game technically complete

#

IT was fun, got to do pretty much everything

#

Those three levels are even cleared for all intents and purpose

weary lagoon
#

we dont quit at the finish line sir

ancient harness
#

I always knew I was gonna finish last because Doom 2 has 90 mandatory things other people need to get for me

midnight depot
#

I'll give you a hint

ancient harness
#

Well, I quit on the 30th that's for sure

midnight depot
#

||The spoiler log says you finish last||

ancient harness
#

Yeah I expected that

#

32 levels, 58 keys

#

Imagine in OOT you have 32 dungeosn and 3/4ths of them have 2-3 keys

#

But the dungeons are small

midnight depot
#

The majority of "keys" are movement abilities and items

#

Which Doom lacks

ancient harness
#

I only need one of each 4 weapons really

midnight depot
#

I got the item

ancient harness
#

I still don't even have a plasma rifle because as long as you have SSG and BFG you can beat the game. Chaingun and rocketlauncher add more ammo

midnight depot
#

Yeah

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Great!

fresh hill
#

the Ixgoat one should also be easy

midnight depot
#

Is it me or is reflecting Phantom Ganon with a biggoron sword much harder?

#

Still easier since he dies in one cycle

ancient harness
#

Then I finish today

midnight depot
#

I'm still missing my golden gauntlets to finish OoT

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Progressive Strength Upgrade is at Stockade 15 - Hoenir, Keeper of the Abyss in Ixlily's World. (not found)

fresh hill
#

oh I do need to fight another boss

#

sweet

#

in fact let's sneak one of these in before the next meeting

midnight depot
#

Oh wait I did use a glitch to clip past and win the game

#

I remember now

#

So it's not as urgent

fresh hill
#

there we go

ancient harness
#

One more left

fresh hill
#

and work's done

#

that was fast izzynothoughtsheadempty

midnight depot
#

Thanks for 200 rupees

fresh hill
#

I felt compelled to clear the room while I was there

lament tusk
#

imagine playing these games for fun

midnight depot
#

I should have randomized shops

#

I did not spend a single rupee this seed beyond buying shields

ancient harness
#

And I'm done

#

It crashed when I hit the exit of my last level. And it also crashes if I relaunch

#

So, you can release for me if you want

#

It's marked as completed so at least it went through

midnight depot
#

Well done

fresh hill
#

and we're done

midnight depot
ancient harness
#

Yeah it's easy to get everything in this game

#

Realyl you just have to know the secrets, and if you don't there's automap

midnight depot
#

Well done

#

That leaves only Pseudoregalia to be completed for both @fresh hill and @sage dawn

fresh hill
#

yep, I'm gonna grab the remaining checks in my goatworld but we learned the other day that my last major key is in yay's world anyway

midnight depot
#

I'm done enough that I'm just going to release the remaining checks

#

Ah, what's this,

#

FlitterOoT found their Small Key Ring (Fire Temple) (Fire Temple Boulder Maze Shortcut Chest)

#

Also locked in the temple: FlitterOoT sent Reliquary of the Suffering Heart to FlitterBlasph (Fire Temple Map Chest)

#

Not an important item but one that would be nice to have

fresh hill
#

oh there's my last fairy

#

well now I want to know where that last page is

#

of course it's in my EL world

#

yeah let's get Tunic to 100% after this

midnight depot
#

You were missing two items

fresh hill
#

yep, one was the all fairies reward, and the other required that last manual page

#

all right, tower has been climbed, that's every item except final boss

midnight depot
#

Good luck

fresh hill
#

yep, it was right there the whole time

#

a most fitting end

midnight depot
#

I will never get this item

fresh hill
#

yes, but

ancient harness
fresh hill
#

ok, after some confusion over how many items are actually in the game, I got the Tunic true ending at 100%

midnight depot
#

Very nice

#

They're making a video for me

weary lagoon
#

Hey Flitter can you help me set up Wind Waker

midnight depot
#

Yeah

weary lagoon
#

Nice

#

I dont know where to start

midnight depot
#

Let me think

weary lagoon
#

I have a rom and emulator so I just need a yaml? Or maybe I need a specific emulator

ancient harness
#

Oh, since I know my answer already, I won't join in December, it crismus

weary lagoon
#

when are you leaving

#

im sure we're done in 3 weeks

midnight depot
#

Yeah, we usually finish a four month game in one week and rarely three weeks

#

You can if you like join and if things take too long for your taste leave and release

midnight depot
#

This is a guide on getting a Wind Waker archipelago version running

#

#1080383306748678165 message

weary lagoon
#

haaai

#

these first steps seem like pretty classic WW rando stuff ive done before

midnight depot
#

So you'll need to 1- Generate a "patched" game, then 2- let me install the apworld file on my machine, then 3- edit the YAML to fit your needs.

#

Then

#

???

#

What the fuck is this

#

4- You're loading a dolphin plugin that edits memory, but does it need to do that before you run, or every time you run the game?

#

So let's try it and see how it goes right now

#

Do you have dolphin ready? The newest version should be fine

weary lagoon
#

im still not at that step yet

midnight depot
#

That's fine but I'm making sure you have both dolphin and a Wind Waker rom ready

#

You can use and edit this YAML, but since it has no options, you just turn off deathlink

#

I'm going to edit it myself and assume you did that

#

The person generating will need this file

#

I'm going to put that file in my archipelago folder. You won't need it

weary lagoon
#

so I can skip this?

midnight depot
#

You can skip 2 and 1

#

The dolphin memory engine is what makes the randomizer work. You will need it

#

Here it is. Copy the whole folder and the one file inside into archipelago/lib

weary lagoon
#

done

midnight depot
#

Excellent, now start the Archipelago launcher. You will see a new executable in the list

weary lagoon
#

I do not

midnight depot
#

Then try again

#

Does it work after?

weary lagoon
#

Nothing changed

midnight depot
#

Weird!

weary lagoon
#

is it because I only installed the oot stuff back in august?

midnight depot
#

I don't think so

#

The apworld file should be the one adding the new launcher

#

Let's double check

#

The steps are Place "ww.apworld" in your Archipelago lib/worlds folder Place the "dolphin_memory_engine" folder in your Archipelago/lib folder

#

So the apworld file is here: C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\lib\worlds

weary lagoon
#

right there!

midnight depot
#

Great!

#

Go one folder up

weary lagoon
midnight depot
#

And inside it is one file, correct?

#

Great

#

So you did everything right. Why didn't it show for you?

#

Maybe try closing the archipelago launcher completely and starting it again

weary lagoon
#

maybe my archipelago client is a version too old

midnight depot
#

You can try reinstalling

#

While you do that, I will need you to do process #1 on your own, because I don't have a Wind Waker rom I can test

#
==Download APWW_1_0_3.zip from https://github.com/Dev5ter/wwrando/releases and extract it anywhere.

==Run "Wind Waker Randomizer.exe"

==Select your Wind Waker ISO in "Clean WW ISO", and select where you want the generated game to be in "Output Folder". The item settings here don't matter.
==For custom models, go to the "Player Customization" tab

==Click Randomize at the bottom right to generate your ISO. You do not need to generate new ISOs each time you run a new rando, just delete your old save file.```
weary lagoon
#

ye I already did

midnight depot
#

Great

#

Once you're done reinstalling archipelago please make sure the files exist where they should be, then open the launcher again and look for the Wind Waker client

#

It seems to be randomized correctly, so this step went well

weary lagoon
#

Reinstalling worked

#

I think updating to the newer version was needed

midnight depot
#

Fantastic!

#

Now for the final process:
1- Load the generated ROM from step 1 in dolphin. Do not start the launcher until you load it.

#

2- Start the wind waker launcher

#

You can connect like so: ToonLink:@archipelago.gg:51918

weary lagoon
#

Nothing happens when I click on the wind waker client button

midnight depot
#

Strange

#

Go to C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\logs and look for the newest log

weary lagoon
midnight depot
#

Is there another log named Wind Waker Client_2023_11_24_21_46_02 or something like it in the folder?

weary lagoon
midnight depot
#
    from dolphin_memory_engine._dolphin_memory_engine import (
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dolphin_memory_engine._dolphin_memory_engine'```
#

Is the dolphin memory engine file present in its correct location?

#

It should be in this folder: C:\ProgramData\Archipelago\lib\dolphin_memory_engine

weary lagoon
#

oh

#

for some reason its double foldered up

midnight depot
#

Oh you must have clicked extract

#

I placed it in a folder for you hoping you would drag and drop it

weary lagoon
#

was it not a zip lol

midnight depot
#

7z, with a folder inside

weary lagoon
#

Is my slot name ToonLink or the number of my save file

midnight depot
#

It is the Slot Name

weary lagoon
#

which means

midnight depot
#

Instead of doing /connect, just type ToonLink:@archipelago.gg:51918 in the top bar

#

And then click connect there

weary lagoon
#

I did

midnight depot
#

Does it not work?

weary lagoon
#

I got what I posted

midnight depot
#

I see

#

Try typing ToonLink again

#

And pressing enter

#

(In the bottom bar)

weary lagoon
#

success

midnight depot
#

Fantastic!

#

I think we're done here now, and if you like the process we can include Wind Waker in December's game

weary lagoon
#

I guess now we only have to fix the yaml with the right settings

midnight depot
#

As far as I understand, you are not allowed to add settings other than DeathLink, but

#

You are allowed to add and modify these settings Local Items: Not Local Items: Start Inventory: Start Hints: Start Location Hints: Excluded Locations: Priority Locations: Item Links:

#

And may be allowed to modify these settings Progression Balancing: 50 Accessibility: Items

#

But I have no idea if it will generate correctly, nor how to do it

fresh hill
#

makes sense, those are the generic settings every game is supposed to support, and most of them are implemented entirely by AP core rather than the game

midnight depot
#

In the spoiler log, they say Filling Algorithm: balanced Players: 1 Plando Options: bosses Game: Wind Waker Death Link: No Progression Balancing: 50 Accessibility: Items Local Items: Not Local Items: Start Inventory: Start Hints: Start Location Hints: Excluded Locations: Priority Locations: Item Links:

weary lagoon
#

start_inventory:
# Start with these items.
Wind Waker: 1
Ballad of the Gales: 1
Song of Passing: 1

#

can you add this

midnight depot
#

I'll try

#

It's giving me invalid YAML errors

#

Let me double check

weary lagoon
#

this guy on the archi discord has starting items

midnight depot
#

I did it!

#

I needed the correct number of spaces

#

It was two

#

And when you posted it, discord removed the starting spaces which is why it didn't work

weary lagoon
#

thats so rude of discord

midnight depot
fresh hill
#

yeah, that's why I always put `s around snippets like that

midnight depot
#

notice how it starts with Start Inventory: Wind Waker: 1, Ballad of the Gales: 1, Song of Passing: 1

#

(I renamed you to Artiks instead of ToonLink)

weary lagoon
#

thats why it didnt work

#

still 51918?

midnight depot
#

That's Artiks:@archipelago.gg:62100

weary lagoon
#

I dont have any songs

#

and this was a green rupee in game

midnight depot
#

Did you launch the game first THEN the launcher?

#

You have to do it in this order every time

weary lagoon
#

yes

midnight depot
#

Then I don't know what went wrong!

weary lagoon
#

lets try again

midnight depot
#

Oh you're going to close them and try to reconnect to the same game

weary lagoon
#

I assume its launch the game and not launch the file

midnight depot
#

Yeah, start dolphin, then launch the randomizer game with green rupees everywhere, then start the archipelago launcher, then from that launcher, start the Wind Waker launcher

weary lagoon
#

oh so I load into the file first

midnight depot
#

Yeah, that needs to happen so the memory editor can find the correct locations

weary lagoon
#

I might have missed that step where everything is supposed to be a green rupee

#

I dont see it in the pin

#

unless thats just what happens with apww

#

anyway I keep getting a green rupee in this chest thats supposed to be a treasure chart

#

oh but I have chart 12 in my inventory

midnight depot
#

It is this process

weary lagoon
#

weird?

midnight depot
#
==Download APWW_1_0_3.zip from https://github.com/Dev5ter/wwrando/releases and extract it anywhere.

==Run "Wind Waker Randomizer.exe"

==Select your Wind Waker ISO in "Clean WW ISO", and select where you want the generated game to be in "Output Folder". The item settings here don't matter.
==For custom models, go to the "Player Customization" tab

==Click Randomize at the bottom right to generate your ISO. You do not need to generate new ISOs each time you run a new rando, just delete your old save file.```
weary lagoon
#

ye I did that

midnight depot
#

And it is in this message

#

#1080383306748678165 message

#

If you have chart 12, then try finding something else to see if it works

weary lagoon
#

I will

#

the problem is it starts me on outset

#

and with no items I have to sail all the way to windfall for another check

#

I do not have the starting songs on my menu though

midnight depot
#

Well I don't know what to do for that

#

Maybe you can ask for help in that channel?

weary lagoon
#

In the game Link loots a green rupee, but I do get the maps in my inventory

#

can you post the yaml

midnight depot
#

Yes hold on

weary lagoon
#

might need spaces

#

we could just copy this necro guys yaml

#

also your yaml says 0.4.2 while im on 0.4.3

midnight depot
#

Okay. I'll try that

weary lagoon
#

I copied his stuff and changed the version number

midnight depot
#

It refuses to generate so I will make sure my installation is up to date

#

Oh I'm stupid and didn't read the error carefully

#

It said the YAML was invalid

#

Because you asked for sonf of passing

weary lagoon
#

crap

#

thats on me

midnight depot
#

Now it generates

#

This is the new room

#

ArtiWW:@archipelago.gg:51549

weary lagoon
#

hmm still no wind waker or songs

#

should I ask on the discord?

midnight depot
#

I'm asking in your stead!

#

#1080383306748678165 message

#

I'll let you know what I hear

weary lagoon
#

Worst case scenario you can give me items through client right

midnight depot
#

I don't know if that works for local items

#

But yes!

#

Do you want to test it right now?

weary lagoon
#

yes let me relaunch

midnight depot
#

I have used the cheat console to send you Song of Passing

weary lagoon
#

I have it

#

send me the wind waker

midnight depot
#

Great!

#

I also got an answer though

#

We need to use this updated APWORLD file

#

#1080383306748678165 message

weary lagoon
#

got it

midnight depot
#

I have sent you the Wind Waker, yeah

#

Now I will generate a NEW game

#

Using the same settings but the new APworld file

#

The new game is here

#

ArtiWW:@archipelago.gg:53190

weary lagoon
#

yep i have them

#

can you send me some random item? Im not sure if I get any item get animation

midnight depot
#

I will send you Skull Hammer

weary lagoon
#

hm theres no item get animation

#

kinda hard to keep track of what new stuff you get then

midnight depot
#

True.

weary lagoon
#

unless theres an automatic tracker

midnight depot
#

No, but

weary lagoon
#

say Ive been gone for a day and people have gotten me lots of stuff it'll be hard to keep track of everything

midnight depot
#

You can ctrl+F the log file

weary lagoon
#

i guess thats the workaround for now

#

guess we're done for now then!

midnight depot
#

That's good!

#

Maybe in a future update, they'll make it so wind waker plays the item pickup animation

#

But this sounds like a good amount of memory editing work

weary lagoon
#

Hello. How are we looking on the last 2 games?

midnight depot
#

Ixrec has gotten all checks in Pseudoregalia but did not finish the game

weary lagoon
#

does he need something

midnight depot
#

The last major key out of five is in yay's world

weary lagoon
#

I see I see

fresh hill
#

Tunic entrance rando just came out, and it requires the host to be on the Archipelago 0.4.4 preview release, so that's an FYI for Flitter (in case 0.4.4 doesn't get released for real before we want to start our December game)

midnight depot
#

Nice nice

#

Where can I get the preview release? Is it on the Github releases?

fresh hill
#

it is not, which is part of the reason I thought I should mention it

#

which i believe is just a direct link to the exe pinned in the #archipelago-dev chat lol

midnight depot
#

Yep

#

#731214280439103580 message

#

Thanks!

#

I'll keep it around in case Archipelago does not release 0.4.4 in time

fresh hill
#

and with all the other unsupported games we're bringing, I thought it might justify a bit more testing of our setups before the real thing

#

like, I might have just invalidated your WW test ajlie

weary lagoon
#

😡

fresh hill
#

(I'll do some local solo testing of it as soon as I finish up the local thing I still have in progress)

midnight depot
#

Sure. Tomorrow I'm going to invite everyone to the December game, to get them to think about what they want to play and we can do testing ahead of time

#

I'm busy with a lot of homework the coming days, so I may not have free time to test until the 28th

#

I love when I react to posts on the archipelago server with inside jokes and someone who does not get the joke at all reacts with me even though they have no idea who I am

weary lagoon
#

I have a 20k race on the 28th but I can do another WW test on the 29th

midnight depot
#

Sounds fun

midnight depot
#

Hi

#

I'm working on my OoT YAML

#

I've made it a lot longer than usual, and I'm going to add specific priority checks to ensure I can do every dungeon

weary lagoon
#

im gonna hit random on everything again

fresh hill
#

I tested the new Tunic release last night so I know that works for me on the settings I want

midnight depot
#

Great!

fierce vale
#

fs_fascinating i decided i might just do hollow knight and hat in time, i gotta rejig my hat in time mods though

#

also i might look at the charm overhaul flitter uses for hollow knight

midnight depot
#

I like it, but it can make the game a bit too easy if you get a charm that's too good too early

#

Since logic does not account for them

fierce vale
#

im fine with easy, it will lighten the load for the month
it could also mean i go for a harder ending

fresh hill
#

"charm overhaul"?

fierce vale
#

i presume it does what it says on the tin

midnight depot
#

Actually transcendence is the one that adds all the fun charms

#

Charm overhaul just rebalances, IIRC

fierce vale
#

fair, is it any integration required, or just plug and play with archipelago (presuming i just install both)

midnight depot
#

Plug and play. Just don't start the game until all mods are installed

weary lagoon
#

@midnight depot Here's mine for Ocarina. And the WW should be the same I already sent you.

#

Though I was wondering if you could edit my OOT to start with suns song. No ocarina or anything just suns song. Its so annoying to sit and wait for day /night

midnight depot
#

Yeah you can edit it to have Sun's Song

#

Just do the same as you did with WW

#

The check name should be uh

#

Suns Song

#

You'll need to add it to Start Inventory

weary lagoon
#

like this?

midnight depot
#

I don't know. Let me check the WW YAML for comparison, and also check the archipelago channel

weary lagoon
#

the ww yaml isnt formated like the oot yaml so I just tried to do it like the rest of the oot one

midnight depot
#

Okay

weary lagoon
midnight depot
#

This is the example YAML for OoT

#

It has the same format as WW

#

So we know both formats must work

#

However it doesn't have start inventory

weary lagoon
#

it does

#

start_inventory with an underscore

midnight depot
#

Let's test it out

#

Error generating option start_inventory in Ocarina of Time

weary lagoon
#

let me try with the funny apostrophes

midnight depot
#

Did not work

#

I just tried the same thing

weary lagoon
#

how about sun's song

fresh hill
#

what are we troubleshooting exactly?

weary lagoon
#

adding starting items to ocarina

midnight depot
#

I should probably rtfm

fresh hill
#

if the issue is figuring out what item/location names the AP mod uses, if you've got a test multiworld made already just use /items and /locations in the text client to see a full list

midnight depot
#

I have the item name

#

I need the format

fresh hill
#

ok, of which part?

#

start_inventory?

midnight depot
#

The example YAML does not feature it

#

Yeah!

#

We know it has two spaces at the start

fresh hill
#

ok I think I know the problem then

midnight depot
#

Can it be placed anywhere? What can it contain?

fresh hill
#

that setting needs a quantity of the item so it's a map from name to number instead of just a list of names

midnight depot
#

Oh okay

fresh hill
#

my AHiT yaml has:

  start_inventory:
    Badge Pin: 2
weary lagoon
#

I found gibus

fresh hill
#

we all guess it's an item names issue first lol

midnight depot
#

Like this? start_inventory: Suns song: 1

#

Two spaces, then four spaces

#

Let's find out

fresh hill
#

well my yamls are all using two spaces for each indentation level but sure

#

I forget the exact rules of the YAML spec on this but I believe using consistent indentation is the most important thing

midnight depot
#

No it complained

#

Probably shouldn't press tab instead of two spaces

fresh hill
#

tab indentation is dead because THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS flutterwaaaugh

midnight depot
#

Hmm

weary lagoon
#

you can also just console it to me when we start

midnight depot
#

StartInventory(Suns song: 1) is not a valid item name from Ocarina of Time. Did you mean 'Suns Song' (100% sure)

fierce vale
# weary lagoon I found gibus

its always funny seeing people you recognise in unrelated servers, its like running into a friend in town except way more people are involved fs_fascinating

fresh hill
#

there's a reason every decent code editor now auto-converts tabs to spaces so it's not even possible to screw yourself over that way any more

#

uh

midnight depot
fresh hill
#

I just asked if you got the item name right

midnight depot
#

I did

#

I got it from the spoiler log

#

Oh it's missing capitalization

weary lagoon
#

do you think its because of.. ye

#

kinda weird because everything is lower case in the yaml from the website

midnight depot
#

Yeah that worked

fresh hill
#

always copy-paste from /items or spoiler log, never guess about fuzzy string matching

midnight depot
#

Item names have to be the exact string

fresh hill
#

oh if their example yaml is wrong that should probably be a bug report

midnight depot
#

The example was not wrong. It did not contain the field at all

#

I made you a room, Artiks. Please check if you get the item

fresh hill
#

oh Artiks means the capitalization convention is different between option names and item names, I guess?

#

that's extremely common unfortunately

midnight depot
#

Yeah native English speakers don't know English

fresh hill
#

I'm guessing it's because lower_snake_case is the norm in Python, which led to it being the norm for the generic yaml settings all games have because it's AP core implementing them, like start_inventory, and most games just use the same style for their other options

#

though AHiT interestingly uses UpperCamelCase for all its game-specific yaml settings

midnight depot
fresh hill
#
  start_inventory:
    Badge Pin: 2
  EndGoal:
    finale: 10
    rush_hour: 10
    seal_the_deal: 10

which is technically inconsistent but oh well

midnight depot
#

Has an example for start inventory and hints

weary lagoon
#

yeah, I have suns song

midnight depot
#

Fantastic

#

So you can also add start_location_hints for the 1500 check if you want

#

Or exclude it entirely

weary lagoon
#

no

#

thats cheating

midnight depot
#

So's sun's song, but you make the rules how you like because it's your games

weary lagoon
#

yeah but its a much bigger annoyance to get that at the end of the game than using your first hint on 1500 points

midnight depot
#

True

fresh hill
#

AP 0.4.4 RC1 just dropped: #731214280439103580 message
apparently 7 "new" games will become supported in this release, including Doom II and Pokemon Emerald

fierce vale
#

lets goo, pokemon emerald

#

this is like, the third or fourth pokemon emerald release candiate though

weary lagoon
#

good game

#

Maybe I will play it in a future run

sage dawn
#

@fresh hill Got your key

fresh hill
#

received, unlocked the door to Kingdom Hearts, let's end this

#

and done

sage dawn
#

Done as well

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Well done, @sage dawn, @fresh hill, @weary lagoon, @lament tusk, @ancient harness and thank you so much for playing with me this month. I had a lot of fun and we finished ahead of schedule. It was quite the ride this time.

If you're interested I will be organizing a December game starting December 1st. Let's aim to finish this one in two and a half to three weeks, to allow everyone ample extra time during the hectic Christmas season. I will announce the game Tuesday to everyone else.

fierce vale
#

salute i shall await finding out about this game

midnight depot
#

Amazing way to say no. I'll look forward to play with you whenever it strikes your fancy in the future, Wcctnoam

fresh hill
#

hm... make sense it's not quite the whole month, I've also got another project starting up so I should probably play just my serious mode Tunic this time

midnight depot
#

On the one hand I do a lot more gaming at Christmas time since it's a vacation. On the other I realize others probably take a full week off or more visiting family, so being conservative is safe

fresh hill
#

yeah, that's mostly me pondering my own free time

midnight depot
#

You may choose to play a game that is heavily front loaded or back loaded in order to skew how much you'll need to keep playing according to your own free time

#

(use the 0-99 balancing to control that)

weary lagoon
#

can you share the spoiler log from the last game

midnight depot
#

Oh yeah we're done

#

I'm going to do that when I'm home in about three hours

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Nice

midnight depot
#

I have not played Outer Wilds but I'm interested

lament tusk
#

I need to play that game

midnight depot
#

Hi, @weary lagoon and everyone else. Here's the spoiler log for November's game. Thanks again for playing with me.

#

The game expected this order of completion, from last to first:
1- Wcctnoam
2- Artiks
3- Meganought
4- Flitter
5- Yay899
6- Ixgoat
7- Ender Lily
8- Blasphemous
9- Tunic

#

Shuffled Entrances:

weary lagoon
#

Well I was done 1/3rd into the game but it wanted me to keep playing to get other people checks

midnight depot
#

Yeah, I count "completion" as "you won't need to do any more checks"

midnight depot
#

Hello! It's game time

Thank you for playing with me in the November game. I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the end of the year. 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 December 1st or whenever everyone who expressed interest is ready.
Also I'll ping people who might be interested here:
@fresh hill @weary lagoon @fierce vale @sage dawn @lament tusk

We will run on the new Archipelago version 0.4.4, which features Pokemon Emerald, Doom 2, Heretic and a few other games as officially supported but you're free to bring any in-development game as well.
As this month is traditionally busy, please make sure you can finish in three weeks so we have more leeway than usual

lament tusk
#

raft is tempting but i think im gonna give this run a break

midnight depot
#

Understandable. See you next time

lament tusk
#

hopefukky ww will be added in the new year? sounds like its nearly done

midnight depot
#

No

#

It's nearly started

lament tusk
#

oh

#

i misunderstood

midnight depot
#

Only the most basic functionalities are in there

#

Right now I have the YAML for My OOT and Artiks's OOT and Artiks's Wind Waker

#

Please send me any YAML file you'd like to play

fresh hill
#

gonna play just Tunic this time around so I'll have more time to do modding

midnight depot
#
    - Fire Temple Volvagia Heart
    - Forest Temple Phantom Ganon Heart
    - Jabu Jabus Belly Barinade Heart
    - Dodongos Cavern King Dodongo Heart
    - Deku Tree Queen Gohma Heart
    - Water Temple Morpha Heart
    - Shadow Temple Bongo Bongo Heart
    - Spirit Temple Twinrova Heart
    - Ganons Tower Boss Key Chest ```
#

This is an experiment I'm running to make bosses in OoT all important

#

What else should I make a priority location? Song checks?

weary lagoon
#

yeah

#

I kinda feel like oot has this built in by having bosses drop the stones and medallions

midnight depot
#

Yes, true. I want the other check to be important too

#

Specifically, I want it to be a check that helps other people

#

Okay. - Fire Temple Volvagia Heart - Forest Temple Phantom Ganon Heart - Jabu Jabus Belly Barinade Heart - Dodongos Cavern King Dodongo Heart - Deku Tree Queen Gohma Heart - Water Temple Morpha Heart - Shadow Temple Bongo Bongo Heart - Spirit Temple Twinrova Heart - Ganons Tower Boss Key Chest - Song from Malon - Song from Saria - Song from Ocarina of Time - Song from Impa - Song from Windmill - Song from Royal Familys Tomb

wet field
#

This looks fun. I could do dark souls 3

midnight depot
#

Hell yeah!

midnight depot
#

@fierce vale has run Dark Souls 3 before and can help you out. I can help you with anything generic to Archipelago but I've not run Dark Souls 3

#

If you need help testing or any other sort of help please talk to me.

#

We're starting by December 1st

#

Oh uh

fierce vale
#

the only awkwardness to do with running ds3 is general modding awkwardness, such as having to rollback the game version since noone updated to the newest patch since its an online only one

midnight depot
#

See the pins for a guide!

wet field
#

I'm in Austin rn, but I'll be back in time to set up on the 30th

midnight depot
#

Well all right. I hope you'll have enough time

wet field
#

Yeah dancer could fuck me up if I don't have enough titanite

midnight depot
#

The Late Basin of Vows option means you'll get the small lothric banner before the basin of vows

#
  exclude_locations:
    - GF HBA 1500 Points
    - GF HBA 1000 Points
    - Market Lost Dog
    - GC Pot Freestanding PoH
    - ZR Frogs Ocarina Game```
#

Added pain points and boring checks to excluded locations. Thoughts?

#
    - Progressive Hookshot
    - Progressive Strength Upgrade
    - Progressive Wallet
    - Progressive Scale
    - Boomerang
    - Bow
    - Bomb Bag```
#

I added some non-local items to help others feel good about finding me my stuff

#

And to make sure that my priority locations also have more stuff other people need

fresh hill
#

neat

midnight depot
#

Hmm

#

fresh hill
#

I see different indentation

midnight depot
#

Oh it's three spaces

#

I swear I made it four spaces

fresh hill
#

the meme indentation

midnight depot
#

Hmm

#

Okay, I fixed it but now I'm running into problems with Tunic

#

Did I not add the apworld file properly?

#

No it's there. Did I not update Archipelago?

#

Yeah the manifest says 0.4.3

fresh hill
#

confirmed on my machine I can generate a Tunic game without errors using the yaml I sent you

#

and locally host it

midnight depot
#

Oh there's RC1

#

I'm on Preview

fresh hill
#

it shouldn't matter in this case, but can't hurt to update

#

pretty sure I'm on the RC

midnight depot
#

Let's update real quick and try it

#

Wow this setup is very different

fresh hill
#

Archipelago 0.4.4: we finally stopped asking you to install 50 ROMs upfront

#

oh also that thing

midnight depot
#

Oh they probably have a new launcher too

#

No it's the same

#

Progress! Now Tunic generates but OoT fails again

fresh hill
#

lol

midnight depot
#

#

I'll have to check what changed

#

Ahh, they changed the item name

#

now it's claim_check

#

Much better, honestly

fresh hill
#

makes sense

midnight depot
#

Okay. I made a game to test @fresh hill's Tunic, @weary lagoon's Wind Waker, and my Ocarina of Time.

#

Game link

#

You're not obligated to do any testing if you think we've already done plenty. It looks right to me

fresh hill
#

I can certainly spare one minute to open stick house chest

#

or, whatever's there in ER

midnight depot
#

Excluded and priority locations work. Nonlocal items work, and there are no unreachable items

#

Despite me setting accessibility to minimal

fresh hill
#

yep, stick house got ER'd all right

midnight depot
#

Fantastic

fresh hill
#

found an item for you

#

ok I'm convinced this is working

midnight depot
#

Everything works correctly. Thanks for participating. Next I'll add my second game

#

But what do I feel like playing?

fresh hill
#

ok finally found an actual chest

#

so that can help test the WW part

#

I will stop fiddling with this now

midnight depot
#

Honestly

#

What I'm feeling like the most is Ocarina of Time again

#

Maybe I'll run two instances. One with the current long and difficult settings and another that's very open

#

Hmm

#

Or I could try Metroid

#

Did you ever SM, Ixrec? It's the other half of Metroidvania

fresh hill
#

I played Super Metroid a looooong time ago, never felt like randomizing it though

#

as influential as it was, Fusion and Zero Mission (and now Dread) are just better imo, but only SM has an AP mod

midnight depot
#

Yeah

fresh hill
#

what I'm really missing is a few more of the Castlevanias, especially SotN

midnight depot
#

Strikes me as fun but dated

#

Castlevania randomization could really work

fresh hill
#

I've seen a bunch of AP threads for Castlevanias but I don't think any made it to playable yet

midnight depot
#

By the way, I'm very happy to see you engaging actively with AP development and I'd like to offer any help I can with that

fresh hill
#

when I have something playable and solid I was gonna poke this thread, the Outer Wilds thread here, and my AP thread for testers

midnight depot
#

Yeah.

fresh hill
#

but for the moment I mostly need to work through the big list of ideas to implement

#

oh btw, about 0.4.4, not joking this time: probably the change that matters most (besides compatibility) for us is going to be the new Hints tab in the Text Client:

midnight depot
#

I'll run doom instead of a second OoT so I don't get hand strain

#

Ooh, does it have suport for custom hints?

#

Like notes

fresh hill
#

I don't think so

midnight depot
#

Shame

fresh hill
#

I was thinking this might replace a lot of my Multiworld Tracker usage

#

that's probably worth suggesting though

#

I know there's a lot of talk about missing hint features and reworking hints in general, and I think "more GUI" is the answer to a lot of it

midnight depot
#

It's only something I care about because some games do not automatically hint when I view shop items or when I can make deductions to derive item locations

#

So a note field is a bandaid, not a solution

fresh hill
#

yeah, and in some games it'd be too spammy

midnight depot
#

Tagging and filtering hints sounds like a fun problem to solve

fresh hill
#

like how in Ender Lilies, every other item I stand next to shows "LT to pick up Flitter's Ocarina", but to hint that a second before I pick it up would be mostly obnoxious in practice

#

(if you could somehow detect that I skipped it on purpose, maaaaaybe)

#

though in Tunic I can only see trap/filler/useful/progression categories unless it's one of my own items, and hinting my own items would likely be silly too

midnight depot
#

Oh

#

- KF Links House Cow

#

I didn't even know that was a check! Better exclude it just in case

#

Probably only valid when randomizing cows

weary lagoon
#

yup

midnight depot
#

Priority setting generates correctly

#

I have the following games so far

weary lagoon
#

Can I be ArtiWW instead

midnight depot
#

The file name does not affect your player name

#

The player name is ArtiWW

#

This is your full file:

game: Wind Waker
requires:
  version: 0.4.3
Wind Waker:
  death_link:
    true: 0
    false: 50
  progression_balancing:
    on: 50
  start_inventory:
    # Start with these items.
    Wind Waker: 1
    Ballad of the Gales: 1
    Song of Passing: 1```
weary lagoon
#

Thats incredible

midnight depot
#

However I'm going to rename the files to make it easier to spot player names for me.

weary lagoon
#

@fierce valewhere is your sonic and mario at the olympic games yaml

fierce vale
#

oops, mb

#

do you still have my yaml from the last time i did hollow knight @midnight depot? if so can i just reuse that please <3

midnight depot
#

Sure! Let me see if I have it

#

Do you know what it was called? I got rid of the copy in my archipelago folder

#

It doesn't have Chip in the name

#

Nor Knight

fierce vale
#

i think it was chipknight, i'll dig around for it

midnight depot
#

Good luck, but also the format has been updated so you might need to remake it

fierce vale
#

fair!

midnight depot
#

I'll try generating with this one and tell you if it passes

#

Generates fine!

#

You can use it if you like, or double check to see if you want to change any of the settings

fierce vale
#

fs_fascinating basically the same (i think?) with a lowered max geo cost so i dont have to grind

midnight depot
#

Great idea

#

Also you don't randomize focus

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee yeah, that also makes it easier

midnight depot
#

Looks like you have enabled ```
BackgroundObjectPogos: 'true'
SpikeTunnels: 'true'
DamageBoosts: 'true'

#

You turned off ``` RandomizeGeoChests: 'false'

#

Looks good to me! I look forward to playing with you

weary lagoon
#

I will find your left crystal dash, no matter what

fierce vale
#

awwyeah looks fine enough

midnight depot
#

Lens of truth push puzzle to open the shadow temple front door is heavily biased

#
    The skull on the far right has a 44.4% chance
    The skull in the middle has a 22.2% chance
    The skull on the left has a 33.3% chance
midnight depot
#

Hi, @wet field are you back yet? We can start the game as soon as I help you test your setup and make sure it runs.

wet field
#

I am back, but I have to work today. I get out at 5:30 pm EST

midnight depot
#

In six hours

#

No, in uh

#

Eight hours

fresh hill
#

I am also still at work, though it should be less than 8 hours until I'm settled back at home

midnight depot
#

119 frame perfect pauses

weary lagoon
#

ive got 2 hours lets get this show on the road!

midnight depot
#

We can't start without giving Kratta a chance to join first, and he's coming home in about four more hours

#

We did set the deadline as tomorrow, not today

weary lagoon
#

Crap baskets!

#

I thought it was today

midnight depot
#

Hey, @fresh hill could you offer advice? There's been a new Minit archipelago release. When you played Minit, how was it? How long did it take? Any pain points? How complete was the archipelago implementation?

fresh hill
#

I know it's changed a lot since the version I played, e.g. that version didn't even do the fanfare animation when picking up items because the dev hadn't figured out an issue with it yet, and I had to avoid a certain place to not softlock (both are fixed now)

#

I think the pain points I hit were all slightly obtuse puzzles in the base game rather than with the content of the AP mod

#

I forget how long it took but I wanna say one day

#

the new version even has entrance rando, so it's a lot closer to "complete"

midnight depot
#

Thanks!

fresh hill
#

I'm sure you'd be fine playing it once without ER and then whatever mode you want

midnight depot
#

I did finish the game once before

fresh hill
#

yep, I remember

#

well maybe you're better at ER than me, but for me in most games ER is only a good idea if I've played much of the game five minutes ago

midnight depot
#

Probably best not to do it

#

Minit is already a confusing ass game

wet field
#

@fierce vale should I randomize upgrade materials?

fierce vale
#

it adds more random spots into your game, but generally makes the game easier until needing a slab, it also pollutes everyone elses pools with a lot more items too, in the end Gwen_shrug

fresh hill
wet field
#

I won't randomize it then, thanks

midnight depot
#

You should do it if you have time to play this month

fresh hill
#

"I dunno why there are so many 'Tentacle's in this game but I guess I'll need them eventually"

fresh hill
#

Minit is also a weird game to do ER for because of the whole 60 second rule and the way the ocean and desert work

#

I don't fully understand how they solved that myself

midnight depot
#

Minit seems like a pain to randomize. Maybe next time

midnight depot
#

It's 5:30PM EST. Exciting

#

Let me go through my files to double check I like the settings

#

This is much easier to maintain

#

Hmm, today I learned

#

# Closed forest will force child start, and becomes Closed Deku if interior entrances, overworld entrances, warp songs, or random spawn positions are enabled.

#
    # Closed: Path to Deku Tree requires sword and shield. The forest exit is blocked until Deku Tree is beaten.```
#

So I guess I gotta go with Closed Deku instead of fully closed

#

I'm making it so a random low number of Master Quest dungeons replaces the vanilla ones

#

I'm also making it so I need 40 gold skulltula tokens to get the rainbow bridge, so I won't have access to Ganon's Castle too early

#

In order to make things more fun for other people, I'm shuffling my maps and compasses and putting them in any world. Please find them for me

#

I'm shuffling crates. There are 38 of these in the world

midnight depot
midnight depot
#

I'm going to add the following tricks to the expected logic, so the game might force me to do any or all of them

#

This covers pretty much every trick I know I'll be able to get, but doesn't include ones that might get the whole group stuck for a long time

wet field
midnight depot
#

Excellent! Do you want me to generate a solo game so you can test it right now?

wet field
#

I already tried it out

midnight depot
#

Wonderful

#

In that case, I'll start the game and ping everyone, and you can play whenever you like

#

But first, my modified OoT file

#

It's time to double check the rules

#

Each hint will cost 11% of your checks, for nine hints total. Don't be too overzealous using them, but use them whenever you're sick of wandering aimlessly or waiting for players to find your items

fierce vale
#

PL_lunateehee we had troubles with the ds3 banner last time with 11% hint cost, do we wanna do anything about that?

midnight depot
midnight depot
#

Wonder why it did pre main fill for Artiks but then another fill for both of us

wet field
#

damn, Flitter doesn't even get to be player 1
Sad!

midnight depot
#

Player numbers don't matter

#

They're alphabetical so Artiks is always first, but you can sort them other ways in the tracker

#

Okay. Game is generated. Here are the player settings used in case anyone needs it for future reference

fierce vale
#

derp heck yeah i can play 8 hours before i need to go to work at 8 am ||though i'm going to use that time to be reasonable and sleep isntead||

midnight depot
#

I have updated the pins with the game details, as usual

#

#1119170161518334004 message

#

Now I'm going to sleep, so have fun!

#

Or at least, going to bed

ancient harness
#

Doom 2 lets gooo

#

I always forget how many god damn checks HK has

midnight depot
#

Yeah I'm going to check it out. I didn't have much fun with Doom 1 but maybe Doom 2 will be different

#

I think Chip is not randomizing geo rocks or geo chests, so hollow knight checks are actually like 200

ancient harness
#

Yeah doom 1 just suffers from very easy demons, no challenge

midnight depot
#

The tracker for some stupid reason does not account for that

ancient harness
#

Ah

fresh hill
#

HK has a longstanding problem of including all of the possible checks even when many of them are disabled

#

well this is a wonderful start given my total lack of weapons so far

#

at least I got a key

#

welp, here's hoping that's not your favorite charm

midnight depot
#

Grubberfly's elegy is so good early on when you have no ranged options

fresh hill
#

this feels like a LOT of high value items early on

midnight depot
#

Fantastic. I will not be suffering in shops like usual

#

Wait that's Artiks

#

Oh by the way

#

If you randomized your settings, the settings I gave you earlier should be the actual result, so if you consider that a spoiler don't read there

fresh hill
#

I really need to relearn how to read these runes

midnight depot
#

Thawing King Zora is something I can do as soon as I have Adult Link and [hover boots or Zelda's lullaby] and a trade item.

#

Or any cutscene item I guess

#

To get adult link I will need the normal requirements

fresh hill
#

really, already?

midnight depot
#

Ocarina doesn't do you any good without songs, but Artiks started with sun's song as a convenience

#

So he has that going for him which is nice

fresh hill
#

this jerk

#

it doesn't attack me, but I can't get around it

midnight depot
#

He's looking rather crabby

fresh hill
#

gonna be a while before I can afford that

midnight depot
#

But it's map 2

#

I guess I could skip it

fresh hill
#

wow that's 11% already?

#

I think I'll stop here for now, that was probably most of what I can get with 0 equipment anyway

#

well

#

okay there's probably half a dozen things I can reach in swamp and quarry if I don't mind death looping ppenk

#

but would rather have something for those areas

midnight depot
#

See ya

#

I'll play some tomorrow

wet field
#

bro's gonna have to sit tight

midnight depot
#

For the rest of the game

fresh hill
#

did we just find both of Artiks' progressive wallets in the opening hour

wet field
#

welp, I'm waiting on the banner now ppenk

#

actually maybe not, I think I get a drop from the boss

fresh hill
#

should that be in start_hints? rdsnrk

wet field
#

okay now I'm waiting on it, lol

midnight depot
#

I should have thought of that

#

Add a hint to the banner from the start so we won't need to make other hints easier

midnight depot
#

Good afternoon

#

Time to play uh

#

Ocarina of Time first

fierce vale
#

UraPraying lets gooo, now you can go into all sorts of funny underwater caves

midnight depot
#

And shadow temple boss key

#

Progressive shield for Artiks

lament tusk
#

I do wish the tunics were used more in oot

midnight depot
#

Do Master Quest then

lament tusk
#

No

midnight depot
#

I randomized how many Master Quest dungeons I get this time

#

We'll see how many

midnight depot
#

I just realized Tracker of Time for OoT has no crate shuffle

#

So I'll just have to do it manually

#

It was a plasma gun for me

#

I also have a boko baba seed. No clue what that is

#

Hint: Forest Temple is graveyard

#

Hint: Bottom of the Well is Ice Cavern

fierce vale
#

rdsnrk i dont think i've got access to greirat in any of my ds3 runs

midnight depot
#

Hint: 20 Gold Skulltulas are an anklet for Ixfox

fierce vale
#

is it a cute anklet, or a "you aren't allowed to leave this town because you're on parole" anklet

midnight depot
#

Could be both

#

That's all for OoT

#

I got: progressive shield for WW, Xanthous Ashes for Kratta, Slingshot for Artiks, HP for Ixfox,. Bone Shard to Kratta, Small Lothric Banner(!) to Kratta, Megaton Hammer to Artiks, Prelude of Light to me, and other stuff.

#

@wet field should be able to keep playing now

midnight depot
#

Hermes ass shoes

fierce vale
#

on the plus side, if you break the parole you can run from the cops faster

midnight depot
#

Oh they're just terraria anklets

fresh hill
#

now I realize I forgot to give myself more starting card slots so I'd be able to use more of the cards people found for me

#

(Tunic card slots are closer to AHiT badge pins than Hollow Knight charm notches)

midnight depot
#

Want me to cheat you a couple in?

fresh hill
#

nah

#

it's kinda appropriate for this run anyway

#

I'll probably do a 2nd session as soon as someone finds one of my key progression or combat items (shield, sword, magic wand/dagger, gun, magic orb, prayer, holy cross, lantern, laurels)

midnight depot
ancient harness
#

Welcome to Doom 2 rando

#

There is no save. Don't die or you'll redo the whole level

#

Or at least the parts you have to go through

midnight depot
#

With just a plasma gun this is about all I can do in this level

ancient harness
#

You're lucky to have firepower

#

I played half the levels with chaingun and a rocketlauncher, not that you ever have enough rockets, and it's often suicide to use

midnight depot
#

Havel's greatshield to Kratta

#

I know you're using the speedrunning build but what if instead you mashed everything to pulp with a one ton hunk of rock?

fierce vale
#

rdsnrk i am tempted to do a dumb gimic build next time i play

#

just fuck it shield only build

midnight depot
#

I'm done with Doom for now

#

Nothing else important

fresh hill
#

Dagger Strap
Reduces cast time when using the Magic Dagger

#

what a troll

wet field
fresh hill
#

one interesting thing about a weaponless Tunic start is that without a straightforward way to kill enemies, I get very little money, so I can't even redeem the HP/SP/etc Offerings you're finding, much less buy my AP shop items

#

so my filler money items are more valuable than usual

midnight depot
#

Nice

fierce vale
#

UraWheeze well that was a massive waste of a rupee pickup i just found

#

200 rupees for flitter

midnight depot
#

Ah well

fierce vale
#

@weary lagoon if you need 200 rupees in oot for something hit me up, i got it real cheap in a shop CoolCat

#

CoolCat dw bestie, i got you too

midnight depot
#

You're gonna find a fair few of those

wet field
#

That kinda sums up flitter's vs artiks' drops so far, huh?

fierce vale
#

rdsnrk i mean, i already found a 200 rupee thing for that save so its already capped on rupee

midnight depot
#

my rupee cap is 99

fierce vale
#

paissapretty and thats hollowknight done until i get something extra

midnight depot
#

Well done

#

Oh, by the way, I need 50 gold skulltulas to finish the game this time

#

Now we only need to wait for Artiks to have time to play. It's unfortunate he couldn't yesterday

weary lagoon
#

oh must be WW

midnight depot
#

Yes that's correct. I place no expectations upon you

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Underhalls is an okay map

fresh hill
#

nvm not enough yet

midnight depot
#

Yo who sent me a bomb bag

#

Oh it was me

#

Hint: Skull Mask has Chip's Hiveblood

#

Time to see where the owl takes me

#

And they have the goron tunic on sale

#

What a fucking seed

#

I'm so glad I did this wild goose chase

fresh hill
#

is that good or bad?

midnight depot
#

It means I have every basic item right now

#

I can finally do the stuff a starting player can do in OoT

#

I don't need to go all the fucking way to Hyrule Castle Town and grind money so I can buy more sticks because that's the only method of hitting enemies

#

I thought I'd be in a lot of pain until someone else found me my sword

#

Hint: Water Temple is Water Temple

midnight depot
#

Dodongo's Cavern is Spirit Temple

#

Shit, apparently small crates are crates too

#

Deku Tree is Bottom of the Well!

#

I don't have Zelda's Lullaby or the keys or the boomerang but I can get everything else

#

Turns out that's less than half the stuff

#

Fire arrows for me

#

Also Command Melody for WW, Charm Notches and Simple Key for Chip,

weary lagoon
#

Alright

#

from what ive been reading today it sounds like I should do some shopping in oot first

#

I already have hook?

#

and slingshot..

#

and megaton hammer..

midnight depot
#

Looks like your items are all bangers

weary lagoon
#

I skipped "ixrec hp offering" let me know if its important

midnight depot
#

Useful but not essential. Get it when you can in the future

weary lagoon
#

guess he only wants the deku shield

midnight depot
#

Hah

weary lagoon
#

@fierce vale kratta is offline do you think he needs longbow or leo ring

#

also I could use those 200 schmekels now

fierce vale
#

i dont know what build they're going for, but unlikely

weary lagoon
#

flitter: energy cell pack?

midnight depot
#

No.

#

It's junk

#

This is what Doom needs:
1- Maps.
2- Map keys.
3- Weapons.

#

Anything else is junk

fierce vale
#

there you go besty <3

midnight depot
#

Kratta will want a bow to do some things, but there's a ton of bows so you don't need to worry about this one

#

Leo ring is more useful in PvP so don't bother

#

Thanks for Saria's Song!

#

Holy shit and my super shotgun

#

Best weapon in the game

weary lagoon
#

wowie zowie!

ancient harness
#

SSG already? Look at this guy playing in easy mode

midnight depot
#

Thanks for Lens of Truth

#

I somehow got it in the middle of a loading screen so the item got dumped into my inventory without a notification like normal items

weary lagoon
#

Kakariko has Ganon boss music

midnight depot
#

That's why I don't randomize music

weary lagoon
#

music rando is great

#

im doing a very intense find the chickens game

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Thanks for another bomb bag

weary lagoon
#

Longnail magipog

#

right mantis claw

#

skulls-
40: supercharge flitter
50: Northern gloves for kratta

#

seems like i got bad skulltulas again

midnight depot
#

Supercharge is junk

#

Northern gloves are useless too

#

The fucking axe guys kill me in one hit

#

Spirit Temple leads to Ganon's Castle

wet field
#

Some rings are also very useful

fierce vale
#

the stormruler is also marked as a progression item though you dont really need it

weary lagoon
#

ocarina of time pog

wet field
#

True

midnight depot
#

Another Ocarina for Artiks

weary lagoon
#

and double defense already

midnight depot
#

Thanks for Hookshot. Adult Link will have an amazing start
