# DOOM II
## Where is the settings page?
The [player settings page](../player-settings) contains the options needed to configure your game session.
## What does randomization do to this game?
Guns, keycards, and level unlocks have been randomized. Typically, you will end up playing different levels out of order to find your keycards and level unlocks and eventually complete your game.
Maps can be selected on a level select screen. You can exit a level at any time by visiting the hub station at the beginning of each level. The state of each level is saved and restored upon re-entering the level.
## What is the goal?
The goal is to complete every level.
## What is a "check" in DOOM II?
Guns, keycards, and powerups have been replaced with Archipelago checks. The switch at the end of each level is also a check.
## What "items" can you unlock in DOOM II?
Keycards and level unlocks are your main progression items. Gun unlocks and some upgrades are your useful items. Temporary powerups, ammo, healing, and armor are filler items.

# DOOM II Randomizer Setup
## Required Software
- [DOOM II (e.g. Steam version)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2300/DOOM_II/)
- [Archipelago Crispy DOOM](https://github.com/Daivuk/apdoom/releases)
## Optional Software
- [ArchipelagoTextClient](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)
## Installing AP Doom
1. Download [APDOOM.zip](https://github.com/Daivuk/apdoom/releases) and extract it.
2. Copy DOOM2.WAD from your steam install into the extracted folder.
You can find the folder in steam by finding the game in your library,
right clicking it and choosing *Manage→Browse Local Files*.
## Joining a MultiWorld Game
1. Launch apdoom-launcher.exe
2. Select `DOOM II` from the drop-down
3. Enter the Archipelago server address, slot name, and password (if you have one)
4. Press "Launch DOOM"
5. Enjoy!
To continue a game, follow the same connection steps.
Connecting with a different seed won't erase your progress in other seeds.
## Archipelago Text Client
We recommend having Archipelago's Text Client open on the side to keep track of what items you receive and send.
APDOOM has in-game messages,
but they disappear quickly and there's no reasonable way to check your message history in-game.
### Hinting
To hint from in-game, use the chat (Default key: 'T'). Hinting from DOOM II can be difficult because names are rather long and contain special characters. For example:
```
!hint Underhalls (MAP02) - Red keycard
```
The game has a hint helper implemented, where you can simply type this:
```
!hint map02 red
```
For this to work, include the map short name (`MAP01`), followed by one of the keywords: `map`, `blue`, `yellow`, `red`.
## Auto-Tracking
APDOOM has a functional map tracker integrated into the level select screen.
It tells you which levels you have unlocked, which keys you have for each level, which levels have been completed,
and how many of the checks you have completed in each level.
