# apworld Specification
|
|
|
|
Archipelago depends on worlds to provide game-specific details like items, locations and output generation.
|
|
Those are located in the `worlds/` folder (source) or `<install dir>/lib/worlds/` (when installed).
|
|
See [world api.md](world%20api.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
apworld provides a way to package and ship a world that is not part of the main distribution by placing a `*.apworld`
|
|
file into the worlds folder.
|
|
|
|
**Warning:** apworlds have to be all lower case, otherwise they raise a bogus Exception when trying to import in frozen python 3.10+!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## File Format
|
|
|
|
apworld files are zip archives, all lower case, with the file ending `.apworld`.
|
|
The zip has to contain a folder with the same name as the zip, case-sensitive, that contains what would normally be in
|
|
the world's folder in `worlds/`. I.e. `worlds/ror2.apworld` containing `ror2/__init__.py`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Metadata
|
|
|
|
No metadata is specified yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Extra Data
|
|
|
|
The zip can contain arbitrary files in addition what was specified above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
Imports from other files inside the apworld have to use relative imports.
|
|
|
|
Imports from AP base have to use absolute imports, e.g. Options.py and worlds/AutoWorld.py.
