Game Setup

1. Find your Archipelago directory, and put tloz_ph.apworld in the custom_worlds folder
2. Create a yaml settings file, and put it in the Archipelago directories players folder. You can generate a template yaml with the archipelago launcher.
3. Generate your game
4. Host the game, either locally or via the archipelago web hosting service
5. Open the generic bizhawk client in Archipelago, and connect to the server
6. Launch the vanilla game in bizhawk, and open the lua console. Add the connector_bizhawk_generic.lua script that can be found in Archipelago\data\lua.
7. You are now ready to play! Start a new savefile and go! You can check that everything worked by checking if the bridge has been repaired.

External patches

• Works with controller patches!
• Works with player model patches. Guide for making them.

Useful to know before you start

• Since the game runs on live patching, you can't see what you found in game. Check your client to see what items you find.
• You can warp to start by opening the collection screen and flipping the screen, then entering any transition. This will also refill you ammo and heal you.
• If enabled in the yaml, there is a fast travel system. Open your sea chart and select an island you've previously visited to select a warp location, and enter any transition to warp to it's port.
• Some locations can despawn. They usually have a backup system. Save and reenter the room to trigger it. Only works for save slot one.
