- Across Doom 1993 and Doom 2, any items that are accessible in Ultra-Violence from the start of the level without putting the player in any danger are now considered in logic when that level is first received, without needing any weapons available. This is intended to give generation more possible outs for bad placements. - This affects the following maps in Doom 1993: - Toxin Refinery (E1M3): 1 location. - Command Control (E1M4): 1 location. - Computer Station (E1M7): 1 location. - Deimos Lab (E2M4): 1 location. - Tower of Babel (E2M8): 1 location. - Unholy Cathedral (E3M5): 1 location. - This affects the following maps in Doom 2: - The Waste Tunnels (MAP05): 2 locations. - Dead Simple (MAP07): 2 locations. - The Pit (MAP09): 1 location. - Refueling Base (MAP10): 1 location. - Nirvana (MAP21): 1 location, except see below. - Icon of Sin (MAP30): 9 locations. - Grosse (MAP32): 2 locations. - Doom 2 has had some more significant logical adjustments made. - The following Pro tricks have been added to Pro logic: - Circle of Death (MAP11): Lowering the exit wall without the Red key by hitting the switch to do so from the nukage. This makes three items previously locked behind the Red key available early, as well as the exit. - Suburbs (MAP16): Reaching the exit without any keys, as the gap between the pillar and the wall is large enough to let you through if you position yourself well. While multiple other squeeze glides exist (for example, you can skip the Yellow key in MAP21 by using one), this one is significantly easier than the rest; it does not require much precision, nor does it require vertical mouse movement. - Nirvana (MAP21): Skipping the Blue key, as there is a gigantic gap between the bars that attempt to block you. - The Chasm (MAP24): Skipping the Blue key by going extremely far through the nukage and finding one of a couple specific teleporters is now considered a Pro trick, and standard logic now expects the key to be obtained. - The following levels have had other logic adjustments: - The Waste Tunnels (MAP05): Requirements lowered to Shotgun + Super Shotgun + (Chaingun | Plasma gun). - The Crusher (MAP06): Requirements lowered to Shotgun + (Chaingun | Plasma gun) for areas immediately accessible. Going beyond the Blue key door also requires Super Shotgun. - The Factory (MAP12): The outdoors area, and the little room to the right of where you start, are accessible in sphere 1. These three items are all easily obtainable with only the pistol. The remaining items that are not in the central area are accessible with (Super Shotgun | Plasma gun), while the items in that area are accessible with Super Shotgun + Chaingun + (Plasma gun | BFG9000). This fixes Episode 2 not having an available sphere 1, and allows solo Episode 2 games. - Nirvana (MAP21): As above, the item in the starting room is accessible in sphere 1. Every other item that doesn't require a key is accessible with (Super Shotgun | Plasma gun). The room in which you use the Yellow key is accessible with Super Shotgun + Chaingun + (Plasma gun | BFG9000). This fixes Episode 3 not having an available sphere 1, and allows solo Episode 3 games. - The Catacombs (MAP22): The four items in the opening room only require (Shotgun | Super Shotgun | Plasma gun). The rest of the level is as before. - Bloodfalls (MAP25): Requirements lowered to Shotgun + Super Shotgun + Chaingun, as this level is unusually easy for its placement in the game. Progressing past the Blue key door additionally requires (Rocket launcher | Plasma gun | BFG9000) solely to deal with the Arch-vile at the end of the level. - Wolfenstein (MAP31): Requirements lowered to Chaingun + (Shotgun | Super Shotgun). This is closer to what the game expects from a non-secret hunting player from a pistol start. - The following logic bugs in Heretic have been fixed: - Quay (E5M3): An item in a Blue key locked hallway was previously marked as being in the "Main" region, thus considered to be accessible without that key. It has been moved to the appropriate "Blue" region. - Courtyard (E5M4): Logic previously assumed you could reach the Wings of Wrath from the opening room, when that isn't actually possible. Changing this moved some items previously in the "Main" region into a new "Green" region, and items previously in the "Kakis" (Yellow OR Green) are now in a "Yellow" region instead. Fixes #4662. - For known problematic solo episodes, some additional special cases have been added. - Doom 1993, Episode 3: One of either the Shotgun or Chaingun is placed early. Slough of Despair (E3M2) is given as an additional starting level. - Doom 2, Episode 3: One of either the Super Shotgun or Plasma gun is placed early. - Heretic, Episode 1: The Docks (E1M1) - Yellow key is placed early. - The following levels (and thus, their items and locations) were renamed, due to typos or other oddities: - `Barrels o Fun (MAP23)` -> `Barrels o' Fun (MAP23)` - `Wolfenstein2 (MAP31)` -> `Wolfenstein (MAP31)` - `Grosse2 (MAP32)` -> `Grosse (MAP32)` - `D'Sparil'S Keep (E3M8)` -> `D'Sparil's Keep (E3M8)` - `The Aquifier (E3M9)` -> `The Aquifer (E3M9)`

History
Archipelago is built upon a strong legacy of brilliant hobbyists. We want to honor that legacy by showing it here. The repositories which Archipelago is built upon, inspired by, or otherwise owes its gratitude to are:
- bonta0's MultiWorld
- AmazingAmpharos' Entrance Randomizer
- VT Web Randomizer
- Dessyreqt's alttprandomizer
- Zarby89's and sosuke3's contributions to Enemizer, which make up the vast majority of Enemizer contributions.
We recognize that there is a strong community of incredibly smart people that have come before us and helped pave the path. Just because one person's name may be in a repository title does not mean that only one person made that project happen. We can't hope to perfectly cover every single contribution that lead up to Archipelago, but we hope to honor them fairly.
Path to the Archipelago
Archipelago was directly forked from bonta0's multiworld_31
branch of ALttPEntranceRandomizer (this project has a
long legacy of its own, please check it out linked above) on January 12, 2020. The repository was then named to
MultiWorld-Utilities to better encompass its intended function. As Archipelago matured, then known as
"Berserker's MultiWorld" by some, we found it necessary to transform our repository into a root level repository
(as opposed to a 'forked repo') and change the name (which came later) to better reflect our project.
Running Archipelago
For most people, all you need to do is head over to the releases page, then download and run the appropriate installer, or AppImage for Linux-based systems.
If you are a developer or are running on a platform with no compiled releases available, please see our doc on running Archipelago from source.
Related Repositories
This project makes use of multiple other projects. We wouldn't be here without these other repositories and the contributions of their developers, past and present.
