Major Changes

  • The Archipelago item pool has been reworked to allow duplicate items. This means progressive items all have the same name (Progressive Marksmanship 1, Progressive Marksmanship 2, and Progressive Marksmanship 3 are now just Progressive Marksmanship) and filler items like Psicards, Arrowhead Bundles, and Vaults that were previously individually numbered, have the same name now.
    Massive thanks to Mysteryem for making this change possible.

  • The handling of ModData by Archipelago and the Randomizer has been reworked to be separated by seed name and slot name. This change allows connecting to the Psychonauts AP Client at any time (not just in the new game selection screen), and prevents situations where items from previous playthroughs could be released into new multiworlds on connecting. This also makes changing between multiple ongoing multiworlds easier and consistent, only requiring swapping out RandoSeed.lua for the seed you want to play on.

  • A new Client command has been added, clearmoddata, which can be used to empty your ModData folder of any current/old Archipelago seeds to free up storage space and reduce clutter. The first time running the command will only display a warning to prevent accidental use. Running the command a second time will fully clear everything.

Minor Changes

  • Lootbox Vaults have been nerfed. The base range of arrowheads has been decreased from 10-100 -> 10-75, small jackpot has been reduced from 250 -> 100, and large jackpot has been reduced from 500 -> 250. Rank Up rewards remain unchanged.
  • The location (AS Courtyard) Crow's Basket now behaves like the original game and requires Invisibility to logically access.
  • The Stop Sign now displays "Stop Sign" instead of just "Sign" in game.

Psychonauts Archipelago Setup Guide

Setting up the required mods

  1. Install Psychonauts for PC, Astralathe, and the Psychonauts Randomizer Mod from the AP Companion Branch.
    Full Psychonauts Randomizer and Astralathe setup guide here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cI3M07nWfDuBkv2M2c4NtCHPyq9koH4f2p53fgCQS4E/edit?usp=sharing
    Make sure Astralathe is up to date, use the AP Companion Branch of PsychoRando, and make sure to open the game with AstralatheLauncher.exe at least once.

  2. Download the psychonauts.apworld and place inside your Archipelago/lib/worlds folder

  3. Open the Archipelago Launcher and run the Psychonauts Client. If you get an error message saying the root_directory could not be found, follow steps 4-5. Otherwise, skip to step 6.

  4. Find the folder that contains your Psychonauts and Astralathe installation, and copy the folder directory. For example, the most common place for the Steam version is "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Psychonauts"

  5. Run ArchipelagoLauncher.exe and open host.yaml from the Archipelago Launcher, find the psychonauts_options and paste your psychonauts game directory into the root_directory setting between the quotes. If the root directory contains single slashes between lines, change all of these to double slashes. If you don't, the client will fail to open

  6. Click "Generate Template Settings". This will open file explorer
    Find "Psychonauts.yaml" and copy it to /Players/ (create this folder if it does not exist)

  7. Open the YAML file and change the line that says "name: Player{number}" to your desired player name.
    Adjust the settings in the YAML to your liking

  8. Run ArchipelagoGenerate.exe

  9. Take the newly created AP_XXX.zip file in /output/ in upload it here: https://archipelago.gg/uploads

  10. Unzip the AP_XXX.zip file. Find the zipped file containing your player number and name, and unzip it. This contains a file called RandoSeed.lua

  11. Find your Psychonauts game directory and open /ModResource/PsychoRando/Scripts

  12. Paste RandoSeed.lua from your generated Archipelago file into this folder. Replace the file in the destination if needed.

  13. Run AstralatheLauncher.exe to open the game. You should see your player number and name on the menu screen, along with your current randomizer version.

  14. From the menu, enter the yellow door to start a new game.

  15. From the Archipelago Launcher, open the Psychonauts Client and connect to your server hosted on archipelago.gg

  16. Once you've started a new save file and connected to the server, you can start playing!
