MajorItemsByAreaTracker

MajorItemsByAreaTracker is a randomizer connection that adds a semi-spoiler randomizer game mode with an in-game tracker.

How does the format work?

When you first load into a new save, a log file is generated called MajorItemCountByAreaLog.txt. This log tells you how many major items you will find in each map area, and which items are considered major. By default, all skills and required TE items are included. The goal of the format is to collect all the required items and defeat the Radiance.

Mod Settings

In the mod menu, you can control when the UI is visible - always, while the game is paused, or never. If the connection is not enabled for a given seed, the UI will not be created and the initial counter log will not be generated, regardless of this setting.

Connection Settings

In the "All Major Items" connection submenu, you can configure the settings for a new rando save. If enabled, this will affect the hash, so you can verify your settings are the same as everyone else you're playing with - using this mod is preferred for races rather than using HKSpoilerViewer.

To play with default settings, you only need to enable the connection. Optionally, you can include grubs, unique keys (e.g. Love Key and Elegant Key), key-like charms (Defender's Crest, Spore Shroom, and Grimmchild), and/or charm notches to add additional items to the tracker/objective as desired. You can also exclude skills, Dreamers and White Fragments, which are enabled by default.

Custom Item Support

This section details how modders can integrate their custom items with this mod, if desired. If you're not a modder, you can skip this section. Connections may integrate with this mod using ConnectionMetadataInjector tags. This mod requests the following properties:

Property	Type	Parent Object	Description	Default Handling
IsMajorItem	bool	AbstractItem	Whether the item should be considered a major item.	Checks various criteria. In lieu of setting this property, you may also fulfil one of the other criteria (e.g. putting a custom item in the "Skills" PoolGroup).
MajorItemName	string	AbstractItem	The name of the item as it should appear in the log.	The AbstractItem's name property with underscores replaced by spaces
