|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Read the [Game Info Page](../../../../games/The%20Messenger/info/en) for how the game works, caveats and known issues
|
|
2. Download and install Courier Mod Loader using the instructions on the release page
|
|
* [Latest release is currently 0.7.1](https://github.com/Brokemia/Courier/releases)
|
|
3. Download and install the randomizer mod
|
|
1. Download the latest TheMessengerRandomizerAP.zip from
|
|
[The Messenger Randomizer Mod AP releases page](https://github.com/alwaysintreble/TheMessengerRandomizerModAP/releases)
|
|
2. Extract the zip file to `TheMessenger/Mods/` of your game's install location
|
|
* You cannot have both the non-AP randomizer and the AP randomizer installed at the same time. The AP randomizer
|
|
is backwards compatible, so the non-AP mod can be safely removed, and you can still play seeds generated from the
|
|
non-AP randomizer.
|
|
3. Optionally, Backup your save game
|
|
* On Windows
|
|
1. Press `Windows Key + R` to open run
|
|
2. Type `%appdata%` to access AppData
|
|
3. Navigate to `AppData/locallow/SabotageStudios/The Messenger`
|
|
4. Rename `SaveGame.txt` to any name of your choice
|
|
* On Linux
|
|
1. Navigate to `steamapps/compatdata/764790/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Sabotage Studio/The Messenger`
|
|
2. Rename `SaveGame.txt` to any name of your choice
|
|
|
|
## Joining a MultiWorld Game
|
|
|
|
1. Launch the game
|
|
2. Navigate to `Options > Third Party Mod Options`
|
|
3. Select `Reset Randomizer File Slots`
|
|
* This will set up all of your save slots with new randomizer save files. You can have up to 3 randomizer files at a
|
|
time, but must do this step again to start new runs afterward.
|
|
4. Enter connection info using the relevant option buttons
|
|
* **The game is limited to alphanumerical characters and `-` so when entering the host name replace `.` with ` `.**
|
|
* This defaults to `archipelago.gg` and does not need to be manually changed if connecting to a game hosted on the
|
|
website.
|
|
* If using a name that cannot be entered in the in game menus, there is a config file (APConfig.toml) in the game
|
|
directory. When using this, all connection information must be entered in the file.
|
|
5. Select the `Connect to Archipelago` button
|
|
6. Navigate to save file selection
|
|
7. Select a new valid randomizer save
|
|
|
|
## Continuing a MultiWorld Game
|
|
|
|
At any point while playing, it is completely safe to quit. Returning to the title screen or closing the game will
|
|
disconnect you from the server. To reconnect to an in progress MultiWorld, simply load the correct save file for that
|
|
MultiWorld.
|
|
|
|
If the reconnection fails, the message on screen will state you are disconnected. If this happens, you can return to the
|
|
main menu and connect to the server as in [Joining a Multiworld Game](#joining-a-multiworld-game), then load the correct
|
|
save file.
