Async Archipelago

Can one of you guys help me test the archipelago set up? I have archipelago up and running, but I don't remember how to generate a yaml file.

is your game one of the officially supported ones?

CaveStory, yeah.

no its not

those aren't officially supported

by officially supported, he means "on the main website"

the core verified tab is the official ones

oh damnit

because that's an external one, you need to generate template files in the archipelago client and then manually edit the yaml for cave story that generates

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
