|
|
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. **BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES IN YOUR MAIN INSTALL IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM!!!**
|
|
Go to `steamapps/common/HatinTime/HatinTimeGame/SaveData/` and copy everything inside that folder over to a safe place.
|
|
**This is important! Changing the game version CAN and WILL break your existing save files!!!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. In your Steam library, right-click on **A Hat in Time** in the list of games and click on **Properties**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Click the **Betas** tab. In the **Beta Participation** dropdown, select `tcplink`.
|
|
While it downloads, you can subscribe to the [Archipelago workshop mod](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3026842601).
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Once the game finishes downloading, start it up.
|
|
In Game Settings, make sure **Enable Developer Console** is checked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. You should now be good to go. See below for more details on how to use the mod and connect to an Archipelago game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Connecting to the Archipelago server
|
|
|
|
To connect to the multiworld server, simply run the **Archipelago AHIT Client** from the Launcher
|
|
and connect it to the Archipelago server.
|
|
The game will connect to the client automatically when you create a new save file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Console Commands
|
|
|
|
Commands will not work on the title screen, you must be in-game to use them. To use console commands,
|
|
make sure ***Enable Developer Console*** is checked in Game Settings and press the tilde key or TAB while in-game.
|
|
|
|
`ap_say <message>` - Send a chat message to the server. Supports commands, such as `!hint` or `!release`.
|
|
|
|
`ap_deathlink` - Toggle Death Link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## FAQ/Common Issues
|
|
|
|
### The game is not connecting when starting a new save!
|
|
For unknown reasons, the mod will randomly disable itself in the mod menu. To fix this, go to the Mods menu
|
|
(rocket icon) in-game, and re-enable the mod.
|
|
|
|
### Why do relics disappear from the stands in the Spaceship after they're completed?
|
|
This is intentional behaviour. Because of how randomizer logic works, there is no way to predict the order that
|
|
a player will place their relics. Since there are a limited amount of relic stands in the Spaceship, relics are removed
|
|
after being completed to allow for the placement of more relics without being potentially locked out.
|
|
The level that the relic set unlocked will stay unlocked.
|
|
|
|
### When I start a new save file, the intro cinematic doesn't get skipped, Hat Kid's body is missing and the mod doesn't work!
|
|
There is a bug on older versions of A Hat in Time that causes save file creation to fail to work properly
|
|
if you have too many save files. Delete them and it should fix the problem.
