Kingdom Hearts Archipelago Randomizer

Multiworld Guide

Why are these steps necessary? Can't I use archipelago.gg to generate?

Generating a multiworld game with the latest "kh1.apworld" must be done locally for now, until the changes are accepted and migrated to the Archipelago main website

Whoever is generating the multiworld game must install the latest "kh1.apworld" in order for generation to take the updates/changes into account

Generating games directly on archipelago.gg will generate with the old apworld, and thus will be out of date

Creating YAMLs (settings files) on archipelago.gg will create a file only compatible with the old AP world, and thus will be out of date

Hosting locally generated multiworld games on archipelago.gg works like normal (and is encouraged!)

Installing the new AP world

Install Archipelago if you haven't already done so

Navigate to where Archipelago is installed for you

You should see a folder called "/lib/"

Navigate into "/lib/worlds/". You should see a file called "kh1.apworld". Back it up somewhere and delete it."

Download the latest beta "kh1.apworld" and place it in that same location where the old "kh1.apworld" was.

Generating a multiworld game

Ensure you have the latest version of "kh1.apworld" installed using the steps above

Gather all players settings files into your "/Players/" folder

Need an updated KH1 settings file? You can generate one here

Run "ArchipelagoGenerate.exe"

After a short wait, you should see a new file in your "output" folder

Navigate to https://archipelago.gg/uploads/ and upload the file in your output folder

You should be redirected to Seed Info page. Click "Create New Room"

You should be redirected to a new room page. This will contain a link to download the seed zip for the KH1 players, all the information they need to connect, and all the files/info for other players

Connecting to the multiworld server

KH1 players should begin by download their seed zip. This is either provided by their host, or they may click the "Download Patch File..." link associated with their slot in their game.

Using that downloaded seed zip, generate your mod for OpenKH using the same instructions as the "Generating the mod" step in the Setup Guide

Install your mod using the same instructions as the "Installing the mod" step in the Setup Guide

Open your Archipelago Launcher, which can be found in your start menu or by navigating back to your Archipelago installation folder

In your Archipelago Launcher, search KH1. If your apworld is correctly updated, you'll see a blue heart logo. If not, please reinstall the apworld using the steps above. Click "Open".

At the top of your client window, type in the server/port associated with your hosted game and click "Connect"

You'll be prompted to enter the slot name associated with your slot. In our example, its "Player2". Type this in the bottom and press enter.
