Anodyne Archipelago Client

Archipelago is an open-source project that supports randomizing a number of different games and combining them into one cooperative experience. Items from each game are hidden in other games. For more information about Archipelago, you can look at their website.

This is a project that modifies the game Anodyne so that it can be played as part of an Archipelago multiworld game.

Installation

1. Download the Anodyne Archipelago Randomizer from the releases page.
2. Locate AnodyneSharp.exe. On Steam, you can find it by right clicking on "Anodyne", going to "Manage", and clicking "Browse local files". In the folder that opens, you should see another folder called "Remake". AnodyneSharp.exe should be in there.
3. Unzip the randomizer into the same folder as AnodyneSharp.exe. This should add two folders, one exe, and several dll files to this folder.

Joining a Multiworld game

1. Run AnodyneArchipelagoLauncher.exe.
2. Enter your connection details on the main menu. Text must be entered via keyboard, even if you are playing on controller.
3. Select "Connect".
4. Enjoy!

To continue an earlier game, you can perform the exact same steps as above. The randomizer will remember the details of your last nine unique connections.

Running from source

If you are not testing local changes to the source code, skip this section and read the Installation section instead.

The AnodyneArchipelago project depends on several other assemblies. These can be found either in the BepInEx project or in the AnodyneSharp.exe folder. The BepInEx assemblies used, as well as the mod launcher itself, must be compiled for x64 (not Any CPU) and .NET Framework 4.6.2. You will need to clone the BepInEx project and configure it so that they compile correctly.

The layout of the AnodyneArchipelago release is as follows:

• The BepInEx.NET.Framework.Launcher executable, renamed to AnodyneArchipelagoLauncher.exe.
• The BepInEx dependencies: 0Harmony.dll, BepInEx.Core.dll, BepInEx.NET.Common.dll, BepInEx.Preloader.Core.dll, Mono.Cecil.dll, Mono.Cecil.Mdb.dll, Mono.Cecil.Pdb.dll, Mono.Cecil.Rocks.dll, MonoMod.RuntimeDetour.dll, MonoMod.Utils.dll, SemanticVersioning.dll.
• The AnodyneArchipelago dependencies: Archipelago.MultiClient.Net.dll, Newtonsoft.Json.dll.
• The Resources folder from the repository root.
• A folder called BepInEx, containing two subfolders: config, which contains BepInEx.cfg from the repository root, and plugins, which contains AnodyneArchipelago.dll itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this impact the base game?

The base game can still be played normally using AnodyneSharp.exe (i.e. by launching the game through Steam). The randomizer will only be invoked when running the game using AnodyneArchipelagoLauncher.exe. The randomizer also uses separate save files from the main game, so your vanilla saves will not be affected either.

Is my progress saved locally?

The randomizer generates a savefile name based on your Multiworld seed and slot number, so you should be able to seamlessly switch between multiworlds and even slots within a multiworld.

The exception to this is different rooms created from the same multiworld seed. The client is unable to tell rooms in a seed apart (this is a limitation of the Archipelago API), so the client will use the same save file for the same slot in different rooms on the same seed. You can work around this by manually moving or removing the save file from the AnodyneFNA save file directory.
