Async Archipelago

Actually, I think I'd like to toss in an Emerald as well

I can beat Emerald very quickly if needed, just lets me do something if I get stuck in Dark Souls

(It’s actually significantly more likely I get stuck in Emerald over DS3, moreso I just want a second game)

CaveStory+ is not supported at all.

Ah, well, okay. I'll go for Factorio and call it good there.

feel free to start it before I wake up once you get all the yamls

how does starting it work?

Reminder that the version numbers need to match up for all the Yaml files

bob is 0.6.0, kribbles is 0.6.5, I don't think it matters for tiny, and I can't find the one leg posted to check

I think if they are all edited to just be 0.6.5 it should be fine (question mark)?

This should work

Also, I really do try not to just hate new things

but the new Archapelago UI sucks

Just downloaded it

fucking modern webdev

and their fucking bubble apps

I hate it

The old layout had issues and Archipelago as a whole could use some actual effort put in to make it approachable

but the new layout is worse in both respects, less usable and less approachable

I changed my mind against doing balatro lmao

4 different instals deep, I have decided this is not worth doing

I'm always amazed how some really crazy mods (like SC2) are so seamless, and other simple feeling ones require an hour+ of dependency managing and searching down obscure old uncompiled github code

I will just do MM

Spooky, part of the problem is you need 2 different mod loader mods for balatro to do modding, its not even the AP guys fault

For some reason Factorio needs an additional mod, but this one is just to drag & drop, then restart factorio so it seems kinda fine enough for me. CaveStory was editing the binary and shit that I did not want to do.

Even if we are technically doing async, if some people are around later tonight and want to do a formal "start of the rando" vc for a bit, or to test things, I am availiable later

Would one of us start the archipelago server or how does the async get started?

Idk if you can self host or just use the website still for async games, I assume the website saves it for a while

I've not done an async so I have no idea how this works

I could run it on my home server if there needs to be a dedicated machine

I think it fundementally works the exact same way we always do it

I am 99% sure the website saves your thing unless there is zero activity from anyone for a week

that's what I assumed

I'm around, but my computer setup is a bit fucky

Anyways, whoever is compiling things, just remember to edit the yaml's to all be version 0.6.5

I am 99% sure that will work and not break things

Also for the love of God, make sure you include some way to release checks for when inevitably one of us gets softlocked after they "beat" their game

Bob's version 0.6.0 isn't compatible lol

Leg frakensteined it together to work last time

A lot of the time, you can just change the number to work

the number they have in there can just indicate what AP version existed when they last updated the yaml

I realized I needed to download a bunch of apworld files for each of your guys' games

I got a world set up, but for synchronous play, I don't know how to configure for async play.

its the same

you just play at different times

Should potentially be right?

hmm idk if it's working? I just booted up Emerald and it says I've connected, but I haven't received any items.

I'm still trying to get Factorio to work uhh

ok it looks like it's working. Fortunately my first check in Emerald was for DS3, so I was able to confirm between both games that it works haha

Oh looks like it works, you just got me stuff

Ok so Kribbles and I are both working (I've sent a few items to some other games because I wanted to get through Firelink)

For myself because it gets fucky otherwise: 1. Open Archipelago and Factorio client. 2. Open Steam's Factorio install. 3. Connect to multiplayer 127.0.0.1 server.

i woke up way earlier than I wanted to so I can be around for a formal start

I'm good whenever

I can do it whenever also

if you can get this it would be helpful

I need like 2-4 items to get there

either epona's song or bombs, a bottle, gibdo mask, and maybe some other stuff depending on which part of the well that is I forget

oh and garo mask

I'm waiting on walls, upgraded military, and grenades before I can progress.

just remebered where that is, need all that + mirror shield

well I hope nothing important is locked behind the fame checker checks then

Alright, after some of the worst routing known to man, I've managed to check everything possible for myself in Emerald. Still have pretty much the entirety of DS3 to check.

waiting on one of a few things to open up the world: strength, rock smash, or the acro bike

sorry pika, i can't afford this

uhhhh this is weird. To access the East side of Route 118, and therefore the entire East of Hoenn, I need the acro bike (extra setting in the options to make surf less powerful), however the acro bike I hinted is at Sootopolis gym. I don't know how I'm meant to reach Sootopolis now?

I moved the Archipelago chat and it crashed my entire machine

do you have fly locations shuffled?

I don't think I set fly shuffling? Maybe I did accidentally?

or maybe the free fly spot if you did that

pretty sure I left fly untouched

I'll find out when I get fly I guess

wait I'm dumb, I have fly, but I don't have the badge for it haha

@Spooky Phijkchu what is Wolf_norselands Unlocks? That's my badge for fly apparently.

oh, I know where that is
