Archipelago EarthBound 3.2

EarthBound Archipelago Version 3.2

New Settings

• ** EnergyLink!** EnergyLink support has been added and is togglable via a yaml option. If it is enabled, energylink will link your ATM balance on the server. Any money you earn or deposit is automatically stored, and you will withdraw energy from the server. Other games playing energylink can store or withdraw from this.

Changes

• The Sky Runner cutscene now automatically unlocks the Winters Teleport in case you get deathlinked before leaving the lab
• The Rock Brothers have received updated scripts
• Cultists in the Happy-Happy HQ will now move to the side instead of get deleted if their shuffled enemy's sprite is small enough for the player to walk through, rather than if Enemy Shuffle is off
• The guard outside of Snow Wood will now hint towards the fact that he requires the Letter for Tony to open the gate
• Added ä to font
• There is now a hard-cap on how many pieces of progressive equipment can be generated as filler
• Photos! You can now receive Photographs as items, which will put a photograph of the current party and location in the credits photo album!
• The patch now appears on local webhost
• Traps on shopsanity checks are now forced to have a price of 0 to make them more tantalizing

Fixes

• Fixed the Fourside teleport getting removed when starting the Epilogue
• Fixed the Sky Runner sometimes not working?
• Fixed the Sky Runner not removing the UFO Engine from your inventory
• Fixed a bug where using the Sky Runner with Jeff in your party while Jeff was on the Threed Prisoner check and not checked would softlock the game by causing the NPC jeff to try to fix the sky runner instead of the party Jeff.
• Fixed the Master Criminal Worm using the sprite of the Criminal Worm when shuffled onto a static enemy
• Fixed a minor text bug when receiving Progressive Poo PSI
• Fixed a generation crash when putting a hint for your starting character in Start Hints

Archipelago EarthBound 3.1

EarthBound Archipelago Version 3.1

New Settings

• Starting Character: Sets which character you start as. Everyone will start with the ATM card, as well as their first-level weapon (except for Poo, who only starts with the ATM card) and the ability to teleport. If the starting character isn't Ness, Ness will be added to the pool like the other characters. If your starting character is Jeff, you will be able to teleport by using the Warp pad found in your inventory. You do not need Ness to activate Sanctuaries.
• Enemy Shuffle: Shuffles non-boss enemies around
• Cap Equipamizer Stats: Caps the stats of equipment created by the Equipamizer to help reduce the liklihood of getting multiple pieces of +100 defense
  equipment and maxing out stats.
• Money Drop Multiplier: Multiplies the amount of money that enemies add to the ATM, ranging from 1x to 100x
• Skip Epilogue: Removes the choice to play the Epilogue after defeating Giygas. This is mostly intended for long or no-release games where accessing the epilogue early could spoil item/check locations.
• Scout Shop Checks has been given 2 suboptions, Only Progression and All to determine if only Progression items should be hinted or all items should be hinted

Changes

• Pokey now identifies the correct number of people during the Giygas fight
• The post-Giygas robot scene now reflects which characters were present during the fight properly
• Orange Kid now has a new script and tells you what his item is before you donate the money to him
• Poo's starting item can no longer be progressive equipment because there's no way to make it reflect what it is
• The Slimy Little Pile inside Belch's Base (the first one you encounter, not the fly honey guard) will now request a random edible item instead of the Tendakraut. Just a fun thing.
• Enemy HP now increases by 25% for each party member you're logically expected to have when you fight them
• PSI Blast and PSI Missile can now be scaled below Alpha (currently only applicable if it's rolled as the favorite slot)
• Players in the gift menu now print instantly (after the name has been loaded) instead of being written out, allowing for faster gift selection scrolling
• Bombs and Bottle rockets used by enemies are now scaled by level. However, this came at the cost of them always being bomb/bottle rocket attacks, as they can't be scaled AND reflect PSI Shuffle. This is probably for the best.
• Updated Gifting to Protocol 3. Should be backwards-compatible with non-updated games.

Fixes

• Fixed X import item hints appearing for shops if shops were set to local filler
• Fixed a bug where Magicant Teleport would display some garbage text if it was a local item that an NPC talked about.
• Fixed characters in Start inventory not scaling correctly
• Fixed a minor visual bug if you received a non-remote character yourself on a check that required you to use an item on an NPC (e.g. the fourside bakery 2F)
• Fixed local characters on the Boogey Tent Trashcan not sending the check out(?)
• Fixed some garbage text when giving the Police Badge to Captain Strong
• Fixed local Equipment that was bought on a shopsanity check not flagging the check as completed
• Fixed Tenda camp shop not logically expecting Tendakraut
• Saturn Valley Teleport found in shopsanity shops as a non-remote item truncated to Saturn Teleport to not cut off the price
• For the same reason, the in-game names of Progressive fry pan and Progressive bracelet have been respectively renamed to Progressive pan and Progres. bracelet
• Fixed a bug where getting an item for another player on the Magnet Hill chest and then wiggling into the sanctuary cutscene immediately afterwards would use the other player's name in the scene instead of Ness.
• Fixed the Big League Bats found in the item pool not being affected by Weaponizer

Known Issues

• None so far

Zelda II Archipelago Version 1.0

Initial Release

• Bugs found during the beta test have been patched
• Receiving some items in certain circumstances can display an odd-looking or incorrect item (namely spells/abilities and the water/trophy/child), this is NOT a bug, but just a limitation of the NES graphical hardware not allowing it to show all items at all times.

New Settings

• Equipamizer
  • Armorizer and Weaponizer
  • Generates new attributes for armor/weapons, including stat boosts and resistances if applicable

• Cleaned up some hint text, also hints will now not say an item is near Menu
