Hi

#

Let's play a little MS because I can't sleep

#

Thanks for sanctuary token

#

I need one more

#

FlitterMS's Sanctuary Token is at Dodongos Cavern MQ Deku Scrub Staircase in kr?t's World at Kakariko Village -> Bottom of the Well. (not found)

cold valve
#

let's see if anything can be done in LADX

#

1 check! let's find out what it is

midnight depot
#

I have the following checks available in my game

#

(The autotracker doesn't show them. I had to run the universal tracker)

cold valve
#

bah, magpie updated something and forgot all my entrances

midnight depot
#

That's unfortunate. Magpie shouldn't get updated unless you update archipelago

cold valve
#

i got a useless item

#

oh well i guess i can go remap all the entrances again

midnight depot
#

FlitterMS sent Cyclops Hull Fragment to Submega (Stronghold Dungeon - Jail Hidden Area)

#

Holy shit it's him

#

My favorite mount

cold valve
#

all re-mapped

#

i'm really hurting for that feather

midnight depot
#

FlitterMS sent Progressive Bow to Toon Arti (Magma Chamber - Legendary Keeper Room - Mozzie Reward 1)

midnight depot
#

[Hint]: FlitterMS's Ancient Woods key is at Bottom of the Well Underwater Front Chest in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)

#

Next time I will play a Link to the Past

#

However, Zelda's Lullaby in OoT will allow me to get the ancient woods key which will allow me to reach horizon beach which will allow me to get Meganought his Strength

#

My other key: FlitterMS's Ancient Woods key is at Cliffside Hamlet 10 - Gerrod, the Elder Warrior in Ixlily's World. (not found)

weary lagoon
#

Kratta usually only plays on weekends but hasn't been around for this one 😔

#

thanks for wind waker light arrows

#

progressive glove for flitterlttp

midnight depot
#

Oh those are super handy

weary lagoon
#

Lullaby for flitteroot

fierce vale
#

probably these one

#

@midnight depot @cold valve paissapretty item requests

weary lagoon
#

lets see whats happening in paper mario

#

probably a lot of traversing the whole world for one check

#

huh, almost nothing new after not touching this for almost a week

fierce vale
#

@midnight depot another flitter request!

weary lagoon
#

giant seed for flitterms

weary lagoon
#

All 3 of my games are fully BKed

#

lets hint some important OoT items

#

Thats probably going to take a while.

#

i think i need 2 more seeds to enter chapter 6

#

@midnight depot

#

more flitterms

#

@wet field this one is very funny.

fierce vale
#

paissapretty i'm now bk'd until i get paintings, relics or the blue metro pass which i can't hint yet

midnight depot
#

Morpha's heart might be possible

fierce vale
#

UraPraying dont worry about rushing if you cant get both parts of the relic pair, cant do anything without both

lament tusk
#

still BK in oot

#

and subnautica

midnight depot
fierce vale
#

dumbtiktok then your feather is locked behind flitter completing one of my relic sets

weary lagoon
#

only krøt and flitterlttp can save us

midnight depot
#

They turned the presentation I was going to do in person remote, so now I have some time to play

#

I can't wait until they invent holograms that take your commute for you

#

Let's play A Link to the Past

#

Thanks for cane, arrow and bomb capacity, strength

#

Still can't lift those

#

I made it!

#

The light world is so much easier

#

FlitterLttP sent MapMM to Dessy-SMZ3 (Bottle Merchant)
FlitterLttP found their Magic Mirror (Blind's Hideout - Far Left)

#

FlitterLttP sent Small Key (Catfish's Maw) to DrRomLADX (Kakariko Well - Right)

#

Sneaky motherfucker

#

I barely noticed it before leaving

#

FlitterLttP sent Bolero of Fire to FlitterOoT (Kakariko Shop Center)

fresh hill
#

as if I didn't have enough of the game unlocked

midnight depot
#

That's always convenient to have even if you pretend you don't have it logicwise

weary lagoon
midnight depot
#

I will give it a try

#

Word on the archipelago server is that due to emergency maintenance some checks may have been lost

fresh hill
#

I haven't been following my text client that closely but it feels like at least most of my checks made it

#

now at 55% (started today at ~40%)

midnight depot
#

The lost checks might be from the previous maintenance check to this one

fresh hill
#

I am finally average rdawwyeah

weary lagoon
#

did you find anything nice

midnight depot
#

Dash

fresh hill
#

well, my own dash

#

oh boy the server's down again

weary lagoon
#

one item in 25% of the game?

fresh hill
#

I haven't checked the list

#

had to keep my focus on ER tracking

weary lagoon
#

I see I see

midnight depot
#

Some people experienced a rollback of Room data and I've now found the reason. In essence, when the server is shutdown it saves all rooms again, but this currently includes the same room multiple times, including earlier incarnations that have long went to sleep. First rooms have already gone to sleep from the last shutdown and probably will roll back up to an hour. To prevent any further damage, I will shutdown the hosting immidiatly and bring it back once this is fixed.

fierce vale
#

paissapretty oh yeah, that makes sense, theres a bunch of my checks i got that aren't marked on the server

midnight depot
#

Lmao Berserker made a typo

weary lagoon
#

I noticed that my paper mario tracker thought I could deliver a letter I already had done

#

But that was the only thing in all 3 games

fresh hill
#

Ixlily sent Bomb to Llisandur (Cliffside Hamlet 09 - Adherent's Letter)
Ixlily sent Dinghy Slide to JayRCT (Twin Spires 21 - Ulv, the Mad Knight)
Ixlily sent Small Key (Color Dungeon) to DrRomLADX (Catacombs 10 - Stagnant Blight x10)
FlitterLttP sent Prawn Suit Fragment to Submega (Sewers - Secret Room - Left)
Ixlily found their Dash (White Parish 07 - Cliffside Hamlet Youth)
Ixlily sent Treasure Chart 18 to Toon Arti (Catacombs 23 - Guardian Silva)
Ixlily sent Small Key Ring (Fire Temple) to FlitterOoT (Twin Spires 11 - Stagnant Blight x30)
Ixlily sent Small Key Ring (Bottom of the Well) to FlitterOoT (Cliffside Hamlet 09 - Hamlet Request 1)
Ixlily sent Vehicle Upgrade Console to Submega (Stockade 05_2 - Stagnant Blight x10)
Ixlily sent Boss Key (Water Temple) to FlitterOoT (Witch's Thicket 06 - Fungal Sorcerer)
Ixlily sent Small Key (Face Shrine) to DrRomLADX (Twin Spires 01 - Fallen Sentinel)
Ixlily sent Cyclops Hull Fragment to Submega (Twin Spires 12 - Forsaken Fellwyrm)
Ixlily sent Gravity Suit to Dessy-SM (Stockade 13 - Slip of Paper)
Ixlily sent Bow to kr?t (Ruined Castle 04 - Report from a Verboten Mage)
Ixlily sent Phantom to Dessy-FF6WC (Witch's Thicket 12 - Amulet Fragment)

along with the usual strawberries, power stars, energy tanks, etc that aren't worth individually mentioning

weary lagoon
#

Treasure chart 18????????????????????

fresh hill
#

I'm gonna keep going despite the server weirdness since I'm on a roll, and the more of the map I have charted the easier it is to go back and double-check any room that might have a check we're worried about

#

plus I think this implementation is decent enough to auto-resync when the server comes back

midnight depot
#

Server should be back

fierce vale
#

there we go, a bunch of items

midnight depot
#

There's a third wallet?!

#

I already bought everything in every shop

fierce vale
#

now you can hoard wealth like a dragon

fresh hill
#

I'm not seeing a surge of items from my slot...

#

grabbing a new one works, but only shows the one

#

seems likely something did get lost

midnight depot
#

Ah

fresh hill
#

I think I saw somebody's shadow temple key go by? don't remember anything else important

midnight depot
#

How would we even assemble a list of what was missed?

fresh hill
#

I don't think we can

weary lagoon
#

My oot tracker is missing all the stuff i got today now

fierce vale
#

does it send them if you boot them game?

fresh hill
#

generally if the mod is keeping track of what hasn't been sent yet, it would just auto-send when the connection comes back anyway

weary lagoon
fresh hill
#

I did try restarting the game

weary lagoon
#

I cleared ganons castle

midnight depot
#

There are games where getting a check sends the missing ones in your save. There are games where checks are sent on reload, and so on

fierce vale
#

is there a command to recheck? i'm sure i saw something like that before

fresh hill
#

(ftr my mod writes all checked locations to a local save file and auto-resyncs them all on reconnect)

fierce vale
#

though it may have been for ootmm

midnight depot
fresh hill
#

yeah I think AP mods just do it automatically when they know how to, there's not really a place for a manual version of it

weary lagoon
#

looks like everything sent again when I launched

midnight depot
#

If we get stuck, I'll go through the spoiler log manually and mark essential items that got missed. For now, If you played today or yesterday and the server did not resend checks for you, please list places you remember going to.

fresh hill
#

ah, ok, the poptracker for EL is syncing with the game mod directly as well as the AP server, so that's an easy way for me to confirm any specific locations

#

all 3 of the unchecked hinted locations in my world are fine, I have genuinely not found them yet

weary lagoon
#

paper mario sent everything again

midnight depot
#

Toon Arti sent Progressive Glove to FlitterLttP (Dragon Roost Island - Sunken Treasure)

#

FlitterLttP sent Magical Seed to Paper Arti (Graveyard Cave)

weary lagoon
#

Wind Waker for some reason sent two out of 3

#

It did not send Zeldas Lullaby to you

#

so you have to cheat that

midnight depot
#

Sounds good to me

weary lagoon
#

Magical Seed is very important

#

I think I need one more to unlock chapter six

midnight depot
#

FlitterLttP sent Snatcher's Contract - Queen Vanessa's Manor to A Chip in Time (King's Tomb)

weary lagoon
#

how do you copy paste from the client

fresh hill
#

double-click

weary lagoon
#

I dont want to type out Lightweight High Capacity Tank

#

Toon Arti sent Lightweight High Capacity Tank to Submega (Six-Eye Reef - Sunken Treasure)

fierce vale
weary lagoon
#

im thinking

#

it has my master sword

#

(good item)

midnight depot
#

One of us always tells the truth

#

One of us always likes peanut butter

#

FlitterLttP sent Shovel to Ixbird (Mushroom)

fierce vale
#

paissapretty neveermind i dont get anything bonus atm for the contract, need portraits i think

midnight depot
#

aw

#

FlitterLttP sent Blue Key to Paper Arti (Ganons Tower - Hope Room - Left)

weary lagoon
#

Bro what the hell is blue key

midnight depot
#

That's what I'm saying

fresh hill
#

oh Flitter, I finally found the guy with your Ancient Woods key

weary lagoon
#

thanks sign

midnight depot
#

Thanks!

fresh hill
#

FIRST TRY

#

usually he's the 2nd boss so not a big deal, but I'm running with unusual weapons spirits and at this point I've fought nearly every other boss so he's way higher level than usual

midnight depot
#

Thanks. I'm going to switch to MS in a little bit

#

I'm wiping a lot of the light world clean

weary lagoon
#

What does the blue square on the master sword mean

midnight depot
#

Probably that you can peek it

#

I have no clue how

fresh hill
#

ok I'm totally bombing on this next boss, I think 72% (plus whatever got lost on the server) will have to be my stopping point for today

midnight depot
#

I will stop here for now too

#

No longer in last place!

fresh hill
#

this is what 72% looks like

#

now for something far more relaxing: Crow Country

midnight depot
#

I need to get up at 3AM this Tuesday to pick someone up from the airport so let me do a little Monster Sanctuary and then work on shifting my sleep schedule

#

With the ancient woods key I can access the goblin area of ancient woods

cold valve
#

let's see if i got anything in this kerfuffle

midnight depot
#

It looks like the rollback affected my game. Checks are not sent

cold valve
#

i got one at least

midnight depot
#

That's FlitterMS sent Progressive Bow to Toon Arti (Magma Chamber - Legendary Keeper Room - Mozzie Reward 1) and FlitterMS sent Cyclops Hull Fragment to Submega (Stronghold Dungeon - Jail Hidden Area) @weary lagoon and @lament tusk if you have not gotten these checks let me know so I can admin send you another copy.

cold valve
#

it seems magpie tracks dungeon keyholes now

#

but i already opened some before it updated

#

so i have to keep manually setting those as checked

#

looks like i can do some color dungeon stuff

midnight depot
#

I see

cold valve
#

DrRomLADX sent HeartContainer to Dessy-SMZ3 (Bullshit Room (Color Dungeon))

#

yeah there's a bullshit room. it's bullshit

fresh hill
#

nice

cold valve
#

one more key and i can beat the color dungeon boss. it's the only dungeon that doesn't require the feather

#

actually level 3 doesn't to beat the boss, but there's other checks in there that do

midnight depot
#

Turns out, Horizon Beach is locked by story

#

It doesn't let you proceed until you beat the goblin king, which means I gotta wait for yet another ancient woods key

cold valve
lament tusk
#

Sry ping

weary lagoon
#

naaah that is the warehouse key

#

bluueee keeey is for the iiiiceee palaaacee

lament tusk
#

Oh I'm so sorry
I genuinely thought it was for that

weary lagoon
#

its allright as izzy always says

lament tusk
#

I must have thought ot was called the blue house because of the blue house skip, forgot it actually had an in game name

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Small Key (Turtle Rock) to DrRomLADX (DMC Great Fairy Reward)

#

Cheat console: sending "Zeldas Lullaby" to FlitterOoT

lament tusk
#

Hax

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Small Key (Turtle Rock) to DrRomLADX (Bottom of the Well Underwater Left Chest)

#

FlitterOoT sent Ancient Woods key to FlitterMS (Bottom of the Well Underwater Front Chest)

#

FlitterOoT sent Nightmare Key (Bottle Grotto) to DrRomLADX (Bottom of the Well Center Skulltula Chest)

cold valve
#

woo

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Slime Key to DrRomLADX (ZF Great Fairy Reward)

lament tusk
#

i have the prawnsuit which tecnically lets me go much deeper underwater, its also the worst way to do long range navigation
the game is designed around flying though the water, not plodding slowly on the massively uneven ground

#

tldr, i need this:

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Bathroom Trap to JayRCT (Water Temple Central Pillar Chest)

#

This trap is out of logic, don't get it

midnight depot
dawn wigeon
lament tusk
#

already have 3

midnight depot
#

Oh good

midnight depot
dawn wigeon
#

Oh someone else said it

lament tusk
#

do you even dash bro

midnight depot
# dawn wigeon Oh someone else said it

Me when the teacher says at the end of the test "If you went this far before reading anything, just flip your sheet and wait instead of doing the questions."

dawn wigeon
#

Yeah I just caught up on the past 24 hours

#

I haven't touched it in a while, but it looks like I can goal SM now so I think I'll try that

midnight depot
#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Progressive Hookshot is at Forgotten World - Caves Study in FlitterMS's World. (not found) need this to fight morpha

#

Easy game

lament tusk
#

hax

midnight depot
# fierce vale probably these one

Done this one FlitterOoT sent Relic (Burger Cushion) to A Chip in Time (Water Temple Morpha Heart)
(Forgotten World is a bit later)

fierce vale
midnight depot
#

Shooting the sun yields the legendary GREG

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Ice Arrows is at Jabu Jabus Belly GS Lobby Basement Upper in kr?t's World at KF Outside Deku Tree -> Deku Tree Lobby. (not found)

dawn wigeon
#

You can ignore my Ice Beam hint BTW I just wanted to see if it was in my world since it will make Tourian faster

midnight depot
#

Of course

dawn wigeon
#

Oh I'm dumb I forgot I set my goal to 100% not to all bosses

#

I might still be able to do that though

#

There's at least one check that's out of logic but I have the skill for it

#

(plasma beam)

midnight depot
#

Meganought is feasting on these ice traps

#

That's all of fire temple

lament tusk
#

look its summer ok? its hot

midnight depot
#

FlitterOoT sent Giant Seed to FlitterMS (Shadow Temple Invisible Floormaster Chest)

#

I should add the manager's room (this check) to my list of priority checks

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Requiem of Spirit is at Fire Temple Volvagia Heart in kr?t's World at ZF Ice Ledge -> Ice Cavern Beginning. (not found)

#

OoT is in BK mode. Next time I'm going to play a short hike

dawn wigeon
#

Yeah prob not doing 100% in again, it's not good for sync, and for async I still am releasing in the same day, just with 30 minutes of dumb tricks added on

#

Plus it's not the greatest when you have Screw and Plasma removed from the seed since Plasma room will always be out of logic in that case

#

Actually I guess not due to the teleport you get

midnight depot
#

That makes sense

dawn wigeon
#

TBH SM isn't a terribly good async game for me

#

It's 3easy5me

#

So I'm BK'd for two weeks straight, then come back and goal it

midnight depot
#

I can't stand the sound design in Super Metroid

dawn wigeon
#

100%, release does nothing lol

midnight depot
#

Well done

dawn wigeon
#

Dessy-SM sent Propulsion Cannon Fragment to Submega (Super Missile (Gold Torizo))
Dessy-SM sent Treasure Chart 40 to Toon Arti (Energy Tank, Firefleas)
Dessy-SM sent Mobile Vehicle Bay Fragment to Submega (Missile (lower Norfair near Wave Beam))
Dessy-SM sent Triforce Shard 1 to Toon Arti (Missile (green Maridia shinespark))
Dessy-SM sent Bombchus (20) to Arti (Super Missile (yellow Maridia))
Dessy-SM sent scenery to JayRCT (Energy Tank, Mama turtle)
Dessy-SM sent Star Piece to Paper Arti (Space Jump)
Dessy-SM sent Octo Chart to Toon Arti (Super Missile (pink Maridia))
Dessy-SM sent Bombchus (10) to Arti (Spring Ball)
Dessy-SM sent Piece of Heart to FlitterOoT (Missile (left Maridia sand pit room))

#

3 games down, 1 to go

midnight depot
#

We're now a quarter done

dawn wigeon
#

SMZ3 has some checks out but will have to wait until later

fierce vale
#

HatPensive alas i'm only at 60% but i legit thinking 90% of those checks are behind the painting checks from here unless they got got and i didn't notice

#

CoolCat i shall check again tommorow

cold valve
#

DrRomLADX sent Progressive Sword to Toon Arti (Under Armos Cave (Southern Face Shrine)) @weary lagoon

#

thanks for slime key for that

weary lagoon
#

i need kratta to get my mirror shield to get the painting

#

or someone to find the toy train

fresh hill
#

fun fact: Archipelago internally uses "PonyORM" for the server's database operations. Apparently they've been having enough issues with it that they're seriously considering forking it.

The strawman name they're using for this hypothetical-for-now fork is "Epona".

weary lagoon
#

but that shouldnt be a problem.

midnight depot
#

That's good

weary lagoon
#

need people to get me oot items so I can get song of storms so I can do water temple so I can open chapter six

#

Dunno how many checks Flitter has left but it's gonna be rough for me timing wise if all 3 of my games are stuck until next weekend

#

Paper Mario is on 0/7 star spirits, both Zelda games have several entire dungeons left

midnight depot
#

I have plenty of checks left, especially in a link to the past

fierce vale
#

@weary lagoon paissapretty do either of these help

weary lagoon
#

storeroom key is 4 checks

#

ill pick those up while waiting for my bread to cool

fierce vale
#

🙏 also 5 bombs the most important drop

weary lagoon
#

wow, toy train in vanilla location

fierce vale
#

namazu_burn the unstoppable artichip power team

weary lagoon
#

i know that your painting is one of those 38

midnight depot
#

Goofy ass font

weary lagoon
#

found it

fierce vale
#

big

#

CoolCat i have more checks available but thats later me's job

weary lagoon
#

thats one out of seven

lament tusk
#

Yey

fresh hill
#

AHiT just got merged, so it should be a supported game whenever AP 0.4.7 comes out

weary lagoon
#

This is going to change everything!

fresh hill
#

the server issues are sadly ongoing so I'm gonna not touch Ender Lilies until I hear good news

midnight depot
#

"Basically, multiworlds that were played between <t:1716208200:f> and <t:1716213600:f> are likely to have been affected"

#

Let's play A Short Hike

weary lagoon
#

Nice I was at the gym then

lament tusk
#

i dont think iw as playing then

#

not getting any checks at least

midnight depot
#

I DID miss a chest

#

Train relic for chip

#

return camping permit, complete boating challenge, return wristwatch

fresh hill
#

fortunately our asyncs are long enough that there was little to be reset in that timeframe

cold valve
#

I know there's a camping permit in my level 5, but i still need feather and hookshot to get it

fresh hill
#

for now I'm gonna play more Crow Country and work on my mod, but I'm feeling like starting a final push to BK my EL slot later

midnight depot
#

Let's play a Link to the Past

midnight depot
#

Please get a different sign I beg of you

cold valve
#

Oh my

midnight depot
#
What's about to happen:
Room hosting will be stopped.
Another backup will be made.
I will start a script that reads all the log files for item send notifications and issues commands to /send_location  them  through the admin console automatically.
Room hosting will be started  again, and rooms should start working through those commands.
???
Profit (Location checks  should be restored.)```
#

FlitterLttP sent Nayrus Love to kr?t (Blacksmith)

#

Ah, the script worked

#

...Worked too well

#

I got the wrong checks

#

Ah yep, the script is broken. He's undoing it

weary lagoon
#

ooh thanks for the magic seed i cant get yet

midnight depot
#

Yeah, things are fucked

#

Would be best to wait

#
So, current state as far as I can see: Some rooms got lucky, they still exist and most  if not all their location checks will be restored as well.  Other rooms got entirely wiped out.```
fresh hill
#

our room appears to be toast?

midnight depot
#

That would be unfortunate

tender pelican
#

Ah, yes. Java memory issues. One of the many problems with Java.

midnight depot
#

I never run out of memory when writing java programs. The trick is to forget that time complexity exists

cold valve
#

So is our game kaput?

midnight depot
#

Maybe!

#

Let's sit tight and let Berserker worry about it for us

lament tusk
#

Tbh it felt like we were a bit stuck

#

Oh well

midnight depot
#

That was mostly me picking Inverted on my first lttp randomizer

#

I vastly understimated how much harder it is

lament tusk
#

Ah yeah

fierce vale
#

i had just unlocked a bunch of checks

#

prob like 30-40% of my remaining checks

fresh hill
#

my world jumping from 5% available to 70+% available probably didn't help either

#

if we are toast, but the servers stabilize for real today, think we'd just take a break until June 1st or maybe try to do a smaller one-week game?

midnight depot
#

I'd rather do a longer game of forty days or two games of twenty days, but I'll gauge preference. Word on the archipelago server is it might take until Wednesday to determine for sure if this problem is solvable

midnight depot
#

Yeah okay things are fucked

wet field
#

Damn what happened while I was at Seaquestriafest?

midnight depot
#

Here's a summary:
1- Server ran out of memory because of a bug with the mechanism that takes rooms down and back up.
2- A fix was implemented, but another bug caused a rollback of some checks.
3- A fix was implemented, but the fix malfunctioned because of a bad backup, deleting even more checks.
4- A fix was implemented, but the alternative backup also failed, deleting entire rooms.
5- A Berserker (owner and host) said "Fuck all of that, I'm doing things myself."

wet field
fierce vale
#

awwyeah we won through an out of bounds tech

midnight depot
#

For now the game room is deleted and if it's not back by Thursday we'll have to cancel and plan for next month

lament tusk
#

we could do oot/mm? thats doesnt use the archipaeligo servers?

midnight depot
#

Lmao

#

That would take longer than starting a whole new game from scratch

#

However we could just play a short sync game while we wait to see if the may game can be recovered

#

Something really short like a short hike, oot with zoomy settings,

cold valve
#

I can still do ladx as a sync game lol

midnight depot
#

Experimenting with a new archipelago game

midnight depot
#

Unlocking areas out of order in this game can really fuck with you unless you're using the option that scales enemies to your level

#

I somehow made it to a state where it's impossible to grind EXP because I couldn't beat any single enemy

#

So the only thing I could do was farm plants to sell and then buy gear

weary lagoon
#

someone mentioned the greatest randomizer of all time ootmm?

midnight depot
#

All right. It doesn't look like we're gonna get the game back in time to finish by the end of May, so I guess the best thing to do here will be to simply cancel the game and start a June game

wet field
#

Alright

lament tusk
#

Aight

midnight depot
#

With that in mind, I'm going to write a closing announcement as usual

cold valve
#

RIP my feather

midnight depot
#

Thank you for joining me in the Manechat Archipelago for May 2024. I will have to call this game off on account of room data being deleted due to a catastrophic error on Archipelago's side. We had twenty games with @cold valve, @clear summit, @wet field, @midnight depot, @weary lagoon, @lament tusk, @fresh hill, @dawn wigeon, @tender pelican, @fierce vale as players (in order of who received their last check in the playthrough file) with 49 spheres and 6336 locations total. Included are the spoiler log and the output zip and all player YAMLs.

#

Hello, @here! I'm starting another Manechat Asynchronous Archipelago Game, with the intent of running until the end of June. 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. (Unsupported games are also OK.)
The game will start May 30th or whenever everyone interested is ready. Last month's players are invited. If you're not interested in running this month please let me know. Also, @orchid aspen is invited if they still want to run Pokemon!

In order to join, I will need the YAML files for whatever games you want to play. Talk to me if you have any questions or concerns.

#

And of course I'll include Ocarina of Time.

#

Instead of running a short hike, I'll run a second, faster ocarina of time.

Have you played Link's Awakening before? You have time before we start to try a quick seed

Yes, but not with a randomizer. Shouldn't be too hard, unless it gets stuck.

midnight depot
#

Should be fine. We have Dr. Romulus who knows the game

tender pelican
#

Yup, I was going to poke him for a tracker.

midnight depot
#

The game comes with an autotracker in the client

#

Magpie

tender pelican
#

Oh, cool. That will be easier, since I'll most likely be playing on a Linux machine and the trackers I found are for Windows.

midnight depot
#

Oh, also see this

midnight depot
#

Everything seems to generate correctly with these files

cold valve
#

@midnight depot i turned off dungeon shuffle, but left on entrance shuffle, so that all the dungeon checks are still behind keys/shenanigans instead of like in the trendy game. i also turned on extra warp points and removed the instruments from priority locations since i'm not shuffling those anyway

midnight depot
#

Thanks

#

Seems to generate!

#

For my fourth game, I could do a short hike, openRCT2, Ocarina of Time, or nothing

#

There's a really cool custom scenario that's super thin and long

cold valve
#

i think i like doing just the one game, i just hope i don't get blocked as long this time. it's not a big deal if i do though

midnight depot
#

Doing just the one game is fine. I'll make sure not to pick something I can't play regularly

fresh hill
#

I was thinking AHiT because of the new tracker updates, maybe OW because I haven't actually played a full game of that in ages despite all my dev work, unsure if I'd add a third

fierce vale
#

mewGiggle alas june-july are busy months for me

fresh hill
#

hm, the 30th is in a week... yeah I should be able to finish at least an early draft of DB layout rando and orbit rando by then, maybe not publicly releasable but good enough for to me to play with

cold valve
#

Maybe i can do outer wilds too

#

I'll have to go look at the checks

clear summit
#

I'm out for this month

wet field
#

Maybe this is the month I do a ds3 sl1 run

dawn wigeon
tender pelican
dawn wigeon
#

I just look on the poptracker discord for them

weary lagoon
#

ill decide closer to may 30th

lament tusk
#

I'll decide May 31st

dawn wigeon
#

I won't be joining in this one this time

lament tusk
#

Might try raft, been meaning to do it

midnight depot
wet field
#

I wouldn't do the DLC

#

Soul of cinder is brutal af, but pretty much all the other bosses are reasonably doable

midnight depot
#

When I did it I got stuck at the abyss watchers

wet field
#

It's not an easy run

midnight depot
#

All right. Let's do a roundup of RSVPs. Dr. Romulus: Ready. Jay: Declined. Kratta: Accepted. Flitter: That's me. Artiks: Pending. Meganought: Pending. Ixrec: Accepted. Dessyreqt: Declined. Llisandur: Ready. Chip: Declined. Bringina: Declined.

orchid aspen
#

i mulled it over, but i think ill decline. thanks for that ping earlier, though

midnight depot
#

That's unfortunate. If you're ever interested again feel free to mention it in the future and I'll be happy to help

midnight depot
#

Okay. Let me see if I can set up openrct2 custom scenarios in AP

cold valve
#

I may add outer wilds once I get a chance to see what that involves

midnight depot
#

Looks like custom scenario support is lacking and I don't want to do the work, so I'm not running openrct2 again

fresh hill
#

I'm thinking AHiT, Psychonauts and Outer Wilds this month; those games all have significant updates since I last played them here, and none of them should be particularly taxing for me
(AHiT's act rando is nothing compared to Tunic or EL's ER, especially with the new AHiT tracker, and the only other update for me is a Tunic ER tracker)

#

if Rom does want to play OW: I'm sending Flitter the 0.2.0 .apworld, i.e. the latest release

#

(I don't know when I'll finish 0.2.1, but even if it's before the 30th I won't use it for this)

midnight depot
#

Oh, about linking gold skulltula tokens in OoT. How do you feel that went compared to the previous times you played OoT, @weary lagoon, @wet field and @lament tusk?

lament tusk
#

I think when I found skull tokens, I was finding two each time

weary lagoon
#

Minor inconvenience because I got two item get animations whenever I found one in OoT.

lament tusk
#

But tbh I don't think it really impacted gameplay at all

midnight depot
#

True.

#

Well it would impact gameplay most if you had priority checks set

lament tusk
#

Wdym?

midnight depot
#

Since the goal of linking them is to reduce the number of items marked progression

weary lagoon
#

but I dont play with those so it doesnt matter to me

#

whatever is fine

midnight depot
#

We had 100 progression items in the room instead of 400.

#

I see

#

If it's not too much of a hassle, I think linking them is fine, then.

lament tusk
#

I guess
But it didn't really change anything because none of the skull rewards were worth anything
Again

fresh hill
#

I definitely felt like my worlds were not spammed with GSTs this time

midnight depot
#

Right, the point is that you won't have to do a hard check that you set as priority only to be rewarded with a gold skulltula token for someone else

lament tusk
#

I suppose it doesn't hurt either

midnight depot
#

It looks like generation fails now, and it points to @cold valve's game. I swear generation didn't fail yesterday when I tried Dr. Romulus's YAML.

cold valve
#

I'll check it out when i get home

#

I probably fucked up something when deleting text

#

Most likely in the priority checks

#

Because it got "K" when it wanted a number

midnight depot
#

Yes. That's what I figured as well. I'll investigate myself in a moment

wet field
midnight depot
#

I have went through your YAML file with a fine tooth comb and it's all correct

#

...It works fine now

fresh hill
#

did the failed output mention the seed?

midnight depot
#

I swapped catfish maw and key cavern heart containers in the priority list and now it works

midnight depot
#

Yes

fresh hill
#

ok cool that does have it

#

I'm pretty sure there's a way to explicitly pass a seed to the generator for reproducing gen bugs

midnight depot
#

Where should I report it?

fresh hill
#

ArchipelagoGenerate.py --seed 123456 apparently

#

well first make sure you can reproduce

#

then see if the other games are required, or if LADX alone has this problem

midnight depot
#

Yeah

fresh hill
#

if it is LADX alone, then in the AP server... I guess either the LADX channel or a #tech-support thread? actually #tech-support thread might be best since you'd have to post the yaml and that log and everything

midnight depot
fresh hill
#

derp

#

sure try it on the exe

#

I've never done this either

midnight depot
#

Okay. I'll investigate and report

fresh hill
#

are you using AP 0.4.6?

midnight depot
#

Yes

#

It seems to generate with the same seed and the old file

#

...What went wrong then?

#

Oh wait there it is

fresh hill
#

phew

midnight depot
#

Now let's generate solo and see what goes wrong

#

It works!

#

So the cause is not Dr. Romulus's file, but someone else's

fresh hill
#

or it's a combination of multiple games

midnight depot
#

Yeah, I'll do binary search and figure out which ones

fresh hill
#

in theory, every game gets its own unique prng, so removing one game shouldn't affect the meaning of the seed for every other game (unless some are still using the legacy shared prng)

#

so if this is reproducible at all then it should be reproducible with exactly the games that are interacting badly

midnight depot
#

OoT is crazy

#

Adding it to the list of games multiplies generation time by more than five

fresh hill
#

are people ERing it? I've always heard OoT ER is special when it comes to gen times

midnight depot
#

I have it set to enable all forms of ER at a random chance for each

#

Hmmm

#

Each player individually, when combined with Dr. Romulus's YAML, does not break the game

#

Let's try two players:
Ixrec and Llisandur, Ixrec and Flitter, Flitter and Llisandur.

fresh hill
#

I am weirdly hyped to find out what ludicrously obscure combo bug we just found lol

#

I would take the full game and remove players one by one

midnight depot
#

But I love copy pasting

#

Removing OoT causes it to generate fine

dawn wigeon
midnight depot
#

Removing crosscode instead also makes it generate. Is it some sort of collission issue where some sort of list is overfilled?

fresh hill
#

this is gonna be wild

#

definitely #tech-support

midnight depot
#

I'll go through the process a few more times to see if removing any one game fixes the problem

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Removing MS works too.

#

Removing a hat in time also fixes the issue

#

So it's likely that all of these games combined and the seed are causing it to fail

#

I'll collect all the relevant files and make a tech support post

fresh hill
#

I may not understand this code but I'm 90% sure the failure has something to do with STONE_BEAK, and the K you see in the error is the last letter of that string

#

was rom's yaml posted here or in dms?

midnight depot
#

Here

#

It has shuffle stone beaks set to random

#

Which probably indicates one of the options is the one that causes it

#

The options are original_dungeon: 50 own_dungeons: 0 own_world: 0 any_world: 0 different_world: 0

#

Let's try a couple of them

#

Original dungeon works.

#

different world works

#

Any world works

#

Let me make the tech support post

cold valve
#

I specialize in unearthing rare bugs

midnight depot
#

Okay. What should I include?

#

YAML files, Seed number, APworlds

#

Log file

fresh hill
#

considering how brittle this appears to be, yeah all of that

#

AP version

#

that might be it?

midnight depot
#

Is there a place I can definitively find which AP version it is?

#

The log file, I guess

fresh hill
#

good question

midnight depot
#

[root at 2024-05-22 23:07:24,926]: Archipelago Version 0.4.6 - Seed: 94746040492985684210

fresh hill
#

[root at 2024-05-22 23:07:24,760]: Archipelago (0.4.6) logging initialized on Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 running Python 3.11.5

#

yeah that's solid

#

python version too

midnight depot
#

Let's see if anyone with more expertise is curious enough to look into it. Meanwhile, I can just generate with a different seed to solve the problem.

#

So apparently, this happens under the following conditions

dawn wigeon
#

You should do the thing where you start with all the maps, compasses, and stone beaks since those are all garbage items 😛

midnight depot
#

1- You have multiple LADX games.
2- One of which has stone keys in other worlds.
3- One of these stone beaks lands on one of your dropped keys

cold valve
#

Interesting

midnight depot
#

So to prevent it, everyone can set stone beaks to own_world, own_dungeon, or original_dungeon

#

Or I can just reroll if the bug happens

fresh hill
#

I guess this is the risk of rom games trying to patch in behavior for items from their own game

cold valve
#

You can set mine to own_world

fresh hill
#

probably better to reroll, it seems like quite the corner case

#

or that

#

I wonder if own_world makes it more likely to get a stone beak in the bad locations, and it's just this specific seed happens to only do it with a remote beak

midnight depot
#

I assume if it's your own world there's already a check to avoid placing it in bad locations

cold valve
#

I think it won't put your own beak in a bad location, only other LADX beaks

fresh hill
#

I get the impression this isn't meant to be a bad location, just a bug that only applies to local items

midnight depot
#

That makes sense too

tender pelican
#

You can edit mine to own world if you want, to reduce errors.

midnight depot
#

Seems to generate just fine with both set to own world

wet field
fierce vale
#

mewGiggle a good call

midnight depot
#

Hi. My final exams for this semester start 05-28, so I'd rather start before then if everyone's ready. Right now I have everything except Meganought and Artiks's YAMLs

#

Also, perhaps Kratta would like to pick a different name

wet field
#

Sigh. You can change it to Swift Reply III

midnight depot
#

Sorry

#

Is the bot here?

#

;pick shitfuck

#

No

hearty finchBOT
midnight depot
#

Oh it is

lament tusk
#

Yeah I've changed my mind, I'm gonna tap out of this one

midnight depot
#

That's unfortunate. Hope to see you next time

shy oyster
#

SHITFUCK

midnight depot
#

Hi.

#

Just checking up. Is:
1- Dr. Romulus going to try Outer Wilds this month?
2- Artiks picking something to play?
We can start whenever these checkboxes are filled.

weary lagoon
#

im not joining if you want to start now

#

Im too busy until may 31st

#

dont wait for me though, even after that I have so many other games I want to play that I was thinking about skipping June anyway

midnight depot
#

Hmm. If we wait I'd have to wait until June 6th since I have exams.

#

I guess you're right. I hope you play with us the month after

weary lagoon
#

Probably!

#

good old teacher summer vacation all of july 😎 so I can bring 5 games

cold valve
#

I won't play OW this month

midnight depot
#

Ah very well

#

In that case when I'm done with my walk I could generate and host the game

midnight depot
#

All right, let's do last minute checks

#

Dr. Romulus: We made sure the YAML works.
Me: I'm not adding a fourth game.
Ixrec: Seems good.
Kratta: I hope the SL1 run works out, but you're a lot better than me at the game.
Llisandur: I didn't check the FF1 YAML because it comes in the stupid FF1r format.

#

And that's everyone. I'll adjust the settings and hit generate

tender pelican
#

Yes, I'm curious how it works since I already have the rom generated.

midnight depot
#

Did you not run a test game?

tender pelican
#

I did, I meant how it works with the multiworld.

midnight depot
#

Yes I mean did you not run a test game as a solo archipelago to see if you can receive and send items?

tender pelican
#

Oh. No, I just followed the instructions to set everything up. Worked last time.

midnight depot
#

All right. Let's hope everything works as expected

tender pelican
#

Yup.

midnight depot
#

The game is up, with @tender pelican, @cold valve, @fresh hill @Shitfuck, and @midnight depot as players.

fresh hill
#

oh hi

cold valve
fresh hill
#

right, lemme get to a stopping point in the MLP game and then I'll make sure my three games are working

midnight depot
fresh hill
#

and- yeah that thanks

cold valve
#

I can't play for 10 hours or so

lament tusk
#

I can't play for a month and 6 days or so

midnight depot
#

Don't worry about playing

#

Ixrec: Are randomized eye of the universe coordinates part of the spoiler or part of the settings?

#

Let's be safe and not include them

#

Here are the settings that generated for each player, in case anyone used weighted settings:

#

The relevant settings for me:

Ganon's Trials Count:            4
huffle Interior Entrances:      Off
Shuffle Grotto/Grave Entrances:  No
Shuffle Dungeon Entrances:       All
Shuffle Overworld Entrances:     No
MQ Dungeon Count:                0
#

Easy settings this month!

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

I see

#

Kokiri sword for me

#

Nomai Warp Codes for Ixrec

#

Tornado Aerodynamics Adjustments for Ixrec

#

And BowWow for Llisandur

#

That's BK mode

#

Biggoron sword for me

#

I didn't even have to read the automatic hint

#

FlitterMS sent Purple Bolt Shade to FlitterCC (Mountain Path - East Vertical 3)

#

This isn't even useful. It's one of two keys for a dungeon in the third quarter of the game.

#

FlitterMS sent Small Key (Color Dungeon) to DrRomLADX (Mountain Path - East Vertical 2)

#

Bow for me

fresh hill
#

but I'm done taking care of that now

midnight depot
#

Yo that's pull request 1

fresh hill
#

yeah, first time someone did a PR to my fork of AP, instead of PRing my mod repo (or a non-coder asking for a logic change)

midnight depot
#

Toilet of Doom Contract, Shrine Door Codes for Ixrec

fresh hill
#

they sure are

wet field
#

I love language

midnight depot
#

Titanite Scale for shitfuck

fresh hill
#

lol I forgot AHiT has its own AP client

#

...and it's failing to connect

#

ugh

midnight depot
#

Oh

lament tusk
#

I should have submitted a subnautica game this month
Oh well

fresh hill
#

yeah I can't get this working

midnight depot
#

There's always next month

fresh hill
#

I'll check the other two games

midnight depot
#

Do you know what's up with a hat in time?

fresh hill
#

no idea

#

already posted in their channel

midnight depot
#

Says in the text client that you connected once

fresh hill
#

yes, it connected to AP, but not to its client proxy thingy

midnight depot
#

I see

#

FlitterMS sent Small Key (Key Cavern) to DrRomLADX (Mountain Path - Old Buran 3)
FlitterMS sent Relic (Chocolate Cake Slice) to Ixhat (Mountain Path - Old Buran 2)

wet field
#

Sl1 ds3 should be more interesting than regular for archipelago, since there are a good handful of specific items that are particularly useful for sl1 that I'll want to get

#

Faith ring and tears of denial, for instance

midnight depot
#

Oh yeah you get early access to equipment since it's a randomizer

#

Zelda's Lullaby for me

#

Gold Leaf for Dr. Romulus

fresh hill
#

Psychonauts appears to be working fine

wet field
#

Very useful weapon for bosses that are weak to lightning (soul of cinder!)

midnight depot
#

Small lothric banner for shitfuck

wet field
fresh hill
#

Outer Wilds seems fine, and wow that's the first check? I literally haven't pressed any buttons yet cadancewheeze

wet field
fresh hill
#

so only AHiT is in trouble

#

wow my Timber Hearth Village is loaded

#

ok that's the usual intro bit done

#

AHiT was my fault, I forgot you have to launch it from a special .exe

midnight depot
#

Mikhail's brain for Ixrec

#

That makes sense

fresh hill
#

that would explain why I didn't have any of the save files from our previous games

#

actually let's clean these up

#

Hat Kid screaming repeatedly

cold valve
fresh hill
#

IT'S CONNECTED

#

ok false alarm all my games work

tender pelican
#

Bizhawk says it has a Linux version, but that's a damn lie.

fresh hill
#

including the one that's actually mine

midnight depot
tender pelican
#

It requires Mono and runs the Windows exe.

#

Or it requires building from source.

midnight depot
#

Right, that part is true. It's not native

fresh hill
#

sweet, that update to make AHiT not always start in Mafia Town is working!

my start is in the Mafia Town Time Rift rdwut

midnight depot
#

Most of the issues Linux OoT players run into are translation layer issues

tender pelican
#

I'd just use Retroarch but FF1 requires Bizhawk.

midnight depot
#

Ixhat sent Wave to FlitterCC (Mafia of Cooks - Page: Beside Red Building) Thanks for Wave Element

#

I have four elements. Fire, Ice, Lightning and Wave.

fresh hill
#

Ixhat sent Silent Running Mode to IxrecOW (Mafia of Cooks - Page: Fish Pile)
already!?
I was hoping I'd have DB layout rando fixed before this...

#

lol this seed, it technically isn't giving me a forced Mafia Town start, but only very technically rdwut

midnight depot
#

And this game is blocked too

#

I'll come back for OoT later

fresh hill
#

I was originally planning to BK AHiT but now I'm not sure

#

right, I need to test the new tracker now that I'm no longer worried about technical issues

#

it's everything I ever wanted starlightbeam

midnight depot
#

I wonder if the performance problems are universal to poptracker or just a short hike related

fresh hill
#

iirc when you found that issue and I did some testing I found a few other packs with oddly high numbers but ASH was the peak?

#

though I've never noticed problems in practice on my machine, it may just be unnoticeable because I usually have a whole video game next to it

midnight depot
#

For me it's causing the game to lag even when poptracker is minimized

#

I don't have a discrete GPU which poses an issue with 3D games

fresh hill
#

makes sense

#

I wonder if poptracker uses the GPU

#

shop time

fierce vale
#

twiveryinlove oh my stars that is way better than the old version

fresh hill
#

@cold valve @midnight depot how important are these?

[Hint]: DrRomLADX's Small Key (Color Dungeon) is at Badge Seller - Item 1 in Ixhat's World. (not found)
[Hint]: FlitterCC's Mine Master Key is at Badge Seller - Item 3 in Ixhat's World. (not found)
[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Bomb Bag is at Badge Seller - Item 5 in Ixhat's World. (not found)

fresh hill
midnight depot
#

Bomb bag is super nice. Mine master key will be essential for progress later but not now

fresh hill
#

yep, Nyakuza Metro has a bunch of green squares, it's aware I can get there

#

I think color dungeon key is also a "doesn't matter until you get there" thing

#

so let's do bomb bag for now

#

Rom will have to settle for Flippers

midnight depot
#

Ixhat sent Progressive Strength Upgrade to FlitterOoT (Mafia Town - Beach Patio) Thanks

#

Why are circuit overrides marked progression? They're literally useless

cold valve
#

I'll need that eventually, but I'll have to find the color dungeon first, and it's probably behind a different dungeon's entrance key

fresh hill
#

cool

#

I'll probably buy out the shop 2nd session anyway

#

sphere 1 was so open this seed

cold valve
fresh hill
#

ok that's chapter 2 telescope complete except for Metro

#

unless Metro contains five time pieces, that should be BK

#

now for more shops pipp13cansofenergydrinks

#

wow most of these are my own items

midnight depot
#

I like finding my own items with a little bit of other people's peppered in

fresh hill
#

okay, I believe that is every accessible Metro shop checked

#

ignoring my own items for now, nearly every progression item was an LADX key for some reason

#

@cold valve @tender pelican @midnight depot for feedback on all of my sphere 1 shop items

[Hint]: DrRomLADX's Scale is at Main Station Thug C - Item 1 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: LlisandurLADX's Small Key (Turtle Rock) is at Main Station Thug C - Item 2 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: DrRomLADX's Small Key (Key Cavern) is at Yellow Overpass Thug B - Item 3 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: LlisandurLADX's Small Key (Bottle Grotto) is at Yellow Overpass Thug A - Item 3 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
didn't autohint but LlisandurLADX's Compass (Catfish's Maw) sounds maybe useful?
[Hint]: LlisandurMQ's Sun Coin is at Green Clean Station Thug A - Item 2 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: DrRomLADX's Nightmare Key (Eagle's Tower) is at Green Clean Station Thug A - Item 3 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: FlitterCC's SP Upgrade is at Green Clean Station Thug A - Item 4 in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)
[Hint]: LlisandurLADX's Small Key (Turtle Rock) is at Green Clean Station - Green Ticket Booth in Ixhat's World at Picture Perfect. (not found)

midnight depot
#

SP upgrades are nice to have but I can finish the game with zero of them

fresh hill
#

Ixhat is now BK'd except for shops, at 14%

#

without grinding, I can afford 0-2 of these items at the range of prices they have, so I'll leave my save here without buying any of them in case someone says one of those is a game changer

#

Outer Wilds says I have 60 reachable locations, let's do some of that

cold valve
#

The key cavern key would be desired first, unless i get the hookshot early

#

Once i find key cavern i will want that

tender pelican
#

Sorry @cold valve, your bombs are 980 rupees. XD

midnight depot
#

Steal them

cold valve
#

Don't worry about them, i get those from lots of sources

#

But if it gets too dicey I'll poke you for them

#

And you can't steal until you have a sword

tender pelican
#

Yeesh. I got the sword, shield, powder, bombs, bracelet, and rooster just after leaving the house you start in, got the feather and tail key from someone while exploring, and the hookshot was in the first chest of the first dungeon.

cold valve
#

Man

#

What a lucky fuckin seed you got

tender pelican
#

Right?

cold valve
#

Last month was a terrible seed for me

tender pelican
#

Well, nearly all the items were from other people, but still.

fresh hill
#

my seed's felt pretty open so far too

cold valve
#

@midnight depot can you check last month's spoiler log and see what sphere my feather was in?

weary lagoon
#

4 migattenogokui

midnight depot
#

I posted the log

#

I'm in bed so you'll have to sift through it yourself

fresh hill
#

aaaaand there's a hookshot

#

this seed lol

cold valve
#

Can someone link the post, I'm on mobile and search is ass

weary lagoon
#

its sphere 15.

#

out of 49

cold valve
#

Thanks

weary lagoon
cold valve
#

So i was gonna finish last lol

#

Sphere 15 seems like it should have been gotten to by the time we crashed

weary lagoon
#

yeah in the last 3 spheres its you, me and kratta still playing

midnight depot
#

#1119170161518334004 message

#

The order of pings is who gets their stuff last

midnight depot
#

The spoiler file only shows one potential path for everyone to reach their goal

fresh hill
#

that's often an explicit goal of a randomizer

weary lagoon
#

it just means your feather was waiting for either flitterlttp or krøt which were the slow games last month

fresh hill
#

all right, 41 Outer Wilds locations at the end of ||my first loop|| seems like a perfect place to end my first session

#

15.71% apparently, very close to where I BK'd AHiT

cold valve
#

Oh i see, parts of sphere 15 could have been held up, it just means there was 15 layers to get the feather from start

fresh hill
#

yeah, typically the players' actual behavior in a multiworld only follows the intended playthrough for maybe 1 sphere, if that lol

cold valve
#

I'm still figuring out how to read these in the context of the general game as a whole

midnight depot
#

Unfortunately I did not keep a log of the game itself

#

That would provide context for which checks actually happened in what order

#

#

midnight depot
#

I recall that one's an early check

wet field
#

so early I already found it skibidi

midnight depot
#

Stupid fucking owl drops me in haunted wasteland

cold valve
#

oh wow i can't read

#

i gotta actually get past the start screen so it gives me items, i woulda seen it

#

in that case the next biggest blocking item would be the boots i tihnk

midnight depot
#

Hmm, my tracker seems to be missing a lot of checks

#

Lunker handled

#

Water temple is ice cavern

#

Stupid fucking owl takes me from lake hylia and drops me in Zora's domain

#

I can just swim there you moron

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Slingshot is at BH Ship Log: Old Settlement 4 - Abandoned in IxrecOW's World. (not found)

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Ocarina is at Underworld - Draconoir Room in FlitterMS's World. (not found)

#

That's BK mode

#

Oh I forgot Lon Lon Ranch exists

midnight depot
#

Hi. Let's play Crosscode

#

I keep reading Ixrec OW as Ixre cOW

midnight depot
#

I like how this game says "chest not in logic"

midnight depot
#

[Hint]: FlitterCC's Blue Ice Shade is at Kak Potion Shop Item 6 in FlitterOoT's World. (not found)

#

Needs an Ocarina

#

Timed challenge, no shield challenge, autumn's rise trailblazing subquests all failed to show up

#

Sure hope there's nothing important locked behind them

midnight depot
#

Let's play MS

#

Thanks for double jump boots, ancient woods key, mystical workshop keys, skorch egg, sanctuary token

#

BowWow for Dr. Romulus

#

Magic meter for me

#

Bottle with big poe

midnight depot
#

My weird egg!

#

Scooter badge for Ixrec

fresh hill
#

oh we're at 21% already

#

hopefully I can squeeze in some Psychonauts later, but I've got a few movies to watch and I really wanted to play more Laika first

cold valve
midnight depot
#

It is a month long game. I'm going to take it slow during the final exams soon

fresh hill
#

yep, there's always a surge at the start, and I don't need to be above average, but I would like to clear most of my sphere 1s early

#

I think in OW I got most of the sphere 1s that aren't more convenient to get later, except on BH, which is fine for how open that starts

#

Psychonauts does a level hub thing so it's much more segmented and thus I should be able to BK my first level pretty quickly (even if I don't feel like doing the other level someone unlocked for me)

cold valve
#

I always keep myself bk'd

#

So far, no AP game I've played LADX in has allowed me to finish significantly early. Sure i might get all the major items relatively early, but I'm heavily blocked by keys later on and i need all 8 dungeons to open the egg

weary lagoon
#

I had to start bringing more games because when I only brought one and ixrec and flitter brought 4 I was always in BK

#

One is pretty short for a month long game

midnight depot
#

You should complain when I bring too many games

cold valve
#

What i mean is keeping myself constantly bk'd still lasts me all month

weary lagoon
#

No you should bring many games when the schedule is an entire month @midnight depotooni

fresh hill
#

yeah, amount of game should be proportional to personal time to play the games, not how much game everyone else brings

midnight depot
#

Okay

cold valve
#

And i like this being a quick thing to check after work each day

fresh hill
#

e.g. every month I do fine-grained ER, I limit it to that game and one easy/chill game, since fine-grained ER is that intense

#

but on "normal" months 3-4 games feels about right for me

#

more than 4 and I think I'd start losing track of all the setup/tracker stuff going on

#

(plus I do think OW is a little too open, one of the goals of the upcoming random spawn feature is to make it possible to play a decent chunk of the rando before being given the spaceship to just fly around wherever)

weary lagoon
#

They should do something with ASH too

midnight depot
#

Next time I'm naming this guy Krattaturtle

#

The mod doesn't support renaming for now

fresh hill
#

yeah, it's a much bigger problem in ASH but also no one's got any good ideas for a solution (I raised the topic once in the AP thread just to be sure), and iirc the ASH dev said they consider ASH finished anyway, which I can't really disagree with

#

some games are just inherently open

#

in OW I can take away your spaceship and there's still a fun game to play there, ASH has no obvious equivalent

weary lagoon
#

Are you kidding? The solution is so easy

#

Make it A Long Hike

midnight depot
#

Let's stop here. Monster Sanctuary still has a lot accessible

cold valve
#

lets play some LADX

#

thanks for face key, blue tunic, feather, zol attack, heart piece, rupees, bombs upgrade, and small key

#

shard for llisandurff1

#

another one

#

yarn for ixhat

#

deep stone for flitterms

#

fang+4 for flitterms

#

magic rod for llisandur

#

manbo's mambo for llisandur

#

tamborine+4 for flitterms

cold valve
#

@fresh hill all of these except the nightmare key i could use now

#

as well as this one, but that will just make things much easier it's not progression if that's a PITA check

tender pelican
#

MQ i blocked until I get some for of bombs. But at least this time I have armor. XD

cold valve
#

i am re-BK'd

midnight depot
#

Let's play OoT

#

Thanks for iron boots, thieves hideout key, magic, big poe bottle, weird egg, maps, compasses and hearts

#

FlitterOoT sent Star Shade to FlitterCC (Song from Impa)

#

FlitterOoT sent Cinders of a Lord - Aldrich to shitfuck III (Song from Saria)

#

Bah, I really need that Ocarina but it's nowhere close

#

I might spend my next hint to see where the other ocarina is because all my items are unusable without it

#

I'm stupid. I forgot Mido's house

#

FlitterOoT sent Shock to FlitterCC (KF Midos Top Right Chest)
FlitterOoT sent Time Piece to Ixhat (KF Midos Bottom Left Chest)

wet field
midnight depot
#

took me long enough

#

And the prometheus skip because I don't have Din's fire

#

And that's the dungeon

#

Queen Gohma had jailbreaker's key for shitfuck

#

Now I don't have to learn how to skip this guy

#

Now, universal tracker seems to think I can get all of these

#

I have no clue how to get any of them

#

Let's play a game where the checks are easy

midnight depot
#

FlitterMS sent Oarsman's Badge to Ixnaut (Snowy Peaks - East - Ledge Chest)

#

FlitterMS sent Sky Fragment to LlisandurMQ (Snowy Peaks - West Cave - Ice Orb Chest)

midnight depot
#

#

That's enough for today

midnight depot
#

Let's play Crosscode

midnight depot
#

FlitterCC sent Undead Bone Shard to shitfuck III (Bergen Village - Omni Gilders Basement Left (Bronze))

#

FlitterCC sent Progressive Wallet to FlitterOoT (Bergen Trail - Off Road 1 Upper)

#

FlitterCC sent Lili's Bracelet to Ixnaut (Round and Round - Reward 1)
FlitterCC sent Progressive Invisibility to Ixnaut (Round and Round - Reward 2)
FlitterCC sent Undead Bone Shard to shitfuck III (Round and Round - Reward 3)

#

Is Hatbox tag important?

fresh hill
#

each Emotional Baggage tag allows me to check one of the Baggage locations

#

so not a big deal but it does help

midnight depot
#

Okay, good

#

I'm softlocked because of a mod bug, so I'll just send that location

#

And that's BK mode for crosscode

fresh hill
#

let's play Psychonauts

#

geez our sphere 1 was loaded, I already have half of my psi powers

fresh hill
#

omg I found Sasha's Button already, in my own first level

#

(that unlocks most of the overworld)

#

this seed

#

and that's Waterloo World BK'd, even figured out the yellow square (partially by luck)

midnight depot
#

Thanks for Lens of Truth

#

and red flame shade

fresh hill
#

huh, a lot of yellow squares in Gloria's Theater

#

probably gonna leave that to next session

midnight depot
#

Red flame shade actually unlocks new checks

fresh hill
#

BTE fully cleared

#

other than Theater that's it for my mind levels, so let's see how much of overworld I feel like clearing today

fresh hill
#

that feels like plenty for now, this slot's at 27.75% 30.49%

#

the overworld had another of my level-unlocking Brains so that's even more to do next time I'm on this game

fresh hill
fresh hill
#

I have a silly amount of money

fresh hill
#

looks like I had just enough money to buy every progression item that wasn't mine, plus one or two of mine

#

(all three of my slots are wide open atm so buying my own stuff wouldn't do much)

#

Ooh, master key, cold, boomerang are all great

#

I really need heat and it's the only element I don't have

wet field
#

Yooo, now flitter can get my dreamchasers ashes, right?

midnight depot
#

Where are they?

wet field
#

Lon lon ranch, I think the back wall gold skulltula

#

It'll let me buy titanite shards and kick off the sirris quest

midnight depot
#

I'll get it when I'm back at my computer

#

The back wall of the distant shed is adult link only

#

The window gold skulltula is boomerang accessible

wet field
#

Oof OOF

#

Wait no, it spawns as child link

midnight depot
#

It does? Universal tracker didn't say it was in logic

wet field
midnight depot
#

Either way it's in logic now

cold valve
#

let's play ladx

midnight depot
#

I have like thirty minutes before DnD so let's get Kratta that check

#

I'm so happy that the bug checks are technically out of logic

#

I don't wanna get rid of my big poe before I can sell him

#

It's not there!

#

Oh this one

#

FlitterOoT sent Dreamchaser's Ashes to shitfuck III (LLR GS Back Wall)

cold valve
#

this is probably my next most important item

midnight depot
#

You will never find it

#

Pretty sure this is an endgame challenge

cold valve
#

hmm

#

i need that to win though

#

can't finish at least 2 dungeons without

midnight depot
#

Okay, at a minimum I need the heat element for it

#

and I need to finish the temple mine, which I need heat for

#

Oh the archipelago website is lagging because of the big async

#

[Hint]: FlitterCC's Heat is at Alpine Skyline (Rift) - Page: Below Aqueduct in Ixhat's World at Cheating the Race. (not found)

fresh hill
#

hm, only non-Ixhat unfound hint I have is for your slingshot

#

is that still important?

#

I'm guessing next time I should prioritize AHiT

midnight depot
#

Slingshot will be necessary but right now doesn't give me any checks

cold valve
#

that's it for now, nothing amazing found today

midnight depot
#

Hi

#

A Short Hike got an update

#
to configure the number of sticks in the item pool
**Toy Shovels**
to configure the number of toy shovels in the item pool
**Random Walkie Talkie**
to choose whether or not the walkie talkie is placed in its vanilla location
**Easier Races**
to add the running shoes as a logical requirement for the races if desired
**Shop Check Logic**
to choose which items are logical requirements for the shops. options are nothing, fishing rod (default), fishing rod and shovel, golden fishing rod, golden fishing rod and shovel
**Minimum Shop Check Application**
to choose the minimum shop cost that the above logic will apply to. options are 40, 100 (default), 400```
#

Easier races is a must have for me because it'll mean I get running shoes early instead of always getting them at the end of the seed

#

Let's play OoT

#

Thanks for stuff I guess. I didn't keep track

#

These checks are all stupid

#

No way can I reach any of those except the last two

#

[Hint]: FlitterOoT's Ocarina is at BH: Riebeck's Surface Campsite Note in IxrecOW's World. (not found)

fresh hill
#

fresh hill
#

midnight depot
#

Good point, I'll stop here for today

#

It looks like with only one player, the local gold skulltula tokens option is finally respected

fresh hill
#

oooh, sphere-aware hints & web tracker got merged

wet field
#

Dying for an item just to find out it's an alluring skull is so disheartening

#

that's so much worse than the ice traps

fierce vale
#

UraWheeze alluring skulls being used as alluring skulls for the player is always hilarious, especially in the context of a randomiser

cold valve
#

let's play ladx

#

thanks for stuff!

wet field
#

you're welcome

midnight depot
#

Let's play Monster Sanctuary
