|
|
* [Latest release is currently 0.7.1](https://github.com/Brokemia/Courier/releases)
|
|
2. Download and install the randomizer mod
|
|
1. Download the latest TheMessengerRandomizer.zip from the [The Messenger Randomizer Mod releases page](https://github.com/minous27/TheMessengerRandomizerMod/releases)
|
|
2. Extract the zip file to `TheMessenger/Mods/` of your game's install location
|
|
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

|
|
|
|
## 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 afterwards.
|
|
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 ` ` and
|
|
ensure that your player name when generating a settings file follows these constrictions**
|
|
* This defaults to `archipelago.gg` and does not need to be manually changed if connecting to a game hosted on the
|
|
website.
|
|
5. Select the `Connect to Archipelago` button
|
|
6. Navigate to save file selection
|
|
7. Select a new valid randomizer save
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you launch the game, and it hangs on the splash screen for more than 30 seconds try these steps:
|
|
1. Close the game and remove `TheMessengerRandomizer` from the `Mods` folder.
|
|
2. Launch The Messenger
|
|
3. Delete any save slot
|
|
4. Reinstall the randomizer mod following step 2 of the installation. |
