## Configuring your YAML file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is a YAML file and why do I need one?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the guide on setting up a basic YAML at the Archipelago setup
|
|
|
|
|
guide: [Basic Multiworld Setup Guide](/tutorial/archipelago/setup/en)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Where do I get a YAML file?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can customize your settings by visiting the [ChecksFinder Player Settings Page](/games/ChecksFinder/player-settings)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Generating a ChecksFinder game
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**ChecksFinder is meant to be played _alongside_ another game! You may not be playing it for long periods of time if
|

|
|
|
you play it by itself with another person!**

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you join a multiworld game, you will be asked to provide your YAML file to whoever is hosting. Once that is done,
|
|
|
|
|
the host will provide you with either a link to download your data file, or with a zip file containing everyone's data
|
|
|
|
|
files. You do not have a file inside that zip though!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to start ChecksFinder client yourself, it is located within the Archipelago folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Connect to the MultiServer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First start ChecksFinder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once both ChecksFinder and the client are started. In the client at the top type in the spot labeled `Server` type the
|
|
|
|
|
`Ip Address` and `Port` separated with a `:` symbol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The client will then ask for the username you chose, input that in the text box at the bottom of the client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Play the game
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the console tells you that you have joined the room, you're all set. Congratulations on successfully joining a
|
|
|
|
|
multiworld game!
