This mod might not work with mods that significantly alter progression or vanilla features. It is
|
|
|
|
|
highly recommended to use utility mods and features to speed up gameplay, such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Journey Mode
|
|
|
|
|
- Ore Excavator
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

## Configuring your YAML File
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is a YAML and why do I need one?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can see the [basic multiworld setup guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) here
|
|
|
|
|
on the Archipelago website to learn about why Archipelago uses YAML files and what they're for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Where do I get a YAML?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the [game settings page for Terraria](/games/Terraria/player-settings) here
|
|
|
|
|
on the Archipelago website to generate a YAML using a graphical interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Joining an Archipelago Game in Terraria
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Launch TModLoader
|
|
|
|
|
2. In Workshop > Manage Mods, edit Archipelago Randomizer's settings
|
|
|
|
|
- "Name" should be the player name you set when creating your YAML file
|
|
|
|
|
- "Port" should be the port number associated with the Archipelago server. It will be a 4 or 5
|
|
|
|
|
digit number.
|
|
|
|
|
- If you're not hosting your game on the Archipelago website, change "Address" to the server's
|
|
|
|
|
URL or IP address
|
|
|
|
|
3. Create a new character and world as normal (or use an existing one if you prefer). Terraria is
|
|
|
|
|
usually significantly more difficult with this mod, so it is recommended to choose a lower
|
|
|
|
|
difficulty than you normally would.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Open the world in single player or multiplayer
|
|
|
|
|
5. When you're ready, open chat, and enter `/apstart` to start the game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While playing Archipelago, you can interact with the server using the commands listed in the
|
|
|
|
|
[commands guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/commands/en). To send a command, open chat, and enter `/ap`,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by the command you want to send. For example, `/ap !help`.
