APMinit

archipelago implementation of a Minit Randomizer

What is different from the vanilla game?

• There is an extra location available: you can water the Dolphin NPC south of the Watering Can vanilla location to spawn a heart.
• Regardless of mode both Camera and PressPass will be treated as the same Location, but only PressPass is in the item pool.
• If you have received a remote item from the Archipelago Server, it does not sync automatically into your inventory. Local items will automatically be added to your inventory but anything recieved off-world will only sync after any respawn.
• An extra keybind has been added (currently only on keyboard Q) to respawn at the Start Location.
• The Box to the left of the Press Pass room will respawn.
• In Entrance Rando the Temple Coin puzzle will not require the deaths to happen in the temple room.

Setup for new Archipelago users

For Installation

• Install Archipelago, you will need the generator and likely the server (though the seed can be hosted on Archipelago.gg).
• Add the minit.apworld file to Archipelago/custom_worlds.
• Archipelago Minit Mod and Minit Mod Loader (further details in For Patching section)
• (Optionally) the tracker.apworld file for Universal Tracker can also be installed in the same way, which adds a new tab to the client that functions as a simple location tracker

For Generation

• Put a .yaml file into the /Players folder
  • To locally generate a template you can use Generate Template Options from the Archipelago Launcher
  • Alternatively Stripes has offered to host a copy of the Archipelago Webhost that includes Minit which can be found at https://ap.stripesoo7.org/games/Minit/player-options
• Run Generate from the Archipelago Launcher (or ArchipelagoGenerate.exe directly).
  • On a successul generation it will make a "AP_[numbers].zip" file in /output folder of your AP install

For Hosting

Use one of the following hosting options

• Run Host from the Archipelago Launcher (or ArchipelagoServer.exe directly).
  • It will prompt for a seed, choose the previously generated file in /output
• Go to https://archipelago.gg/uploads and upload the previously generated file in /output

For Connecting

• Run ArchipelagoLauncher.exe
• Open the "Minit Client" through the Launcher
• Use the top bar to enter the host and port of the Archipelago server running already (ex. "localhost:38281" if you are hosting it locally and your port is 38281).
• When prompted for your Slot Name, enter whatever your username in the .yaml file is, if left default it will likely be "Player1".
• You now have the proxy client connected to the AP server

For Patching

• Install the Mod Loader
  • download from https://github.com/qwint/UFO-50-MOD-LOADER/releases
  • unzip the appropriate version to a reasonable location, run minit Mod Loader to open the Mod Loader
• Install the Minit Mod into the Mod Loader
  • download Source code (zip) from https://github.com/qwint/archipelago_minit_mod/releases
  • Launch the Mod Loader
  • under Mod Loader select Open Mod Loader Folder
  • Open the Minit mods subfolder and place the downloaded zip
• Patch the game
  • Launch the Mod Loader
  • Optional: Under Settings you can check Overwrite Installed Files to patch the source copy of the game
  • Check the installed Minit mod to include it
  • Press the Load Mods and Launch Game button
• Run the game
  • The previous step will automatically launch the game, but to not need to patch every time you can either
    • Use the Overwrite Installed Files setting and launch through your previous launcher of choice
    • Run the modded copy directly, it will be in ./workspace/Minit Modded Copy/minit.exe from the same Mod Loader Folder as before
      • On linux the Mod Loader runs the game through wine so it is safe to do so manually as well
    • Open the Mod Loader and press the Launch Game button

Setup for Archipelago users

• minit.apworld is in the Release page and needs to be installed appropriatly.
• tracker.apworld (for Universal Tracker, installed seperately) can add a new tab to the client that functions as a simple location tracker.
• The proxy "Minit Client" can be accessed through ArchipelagoLauncher.
• Download the Archipelago Minit Mod and patch through the Mod Loader. For more detail see the For Patching section above.
