0.6.0.2

0.6.0.2 Changes

Hotfix 2: Fixed client off by 1 error causing Shadestone/Sunstone/Sword of the Order/Dragon Scale checks being claimed at the wrong times, or not at all.
Hotfix 1: Fixed game communication files not getting cleared properly, allowing items from previous seeds on this version to be received and lowered min required AP version to 0.6.3

NOTE: 0.6.0 requires you to update the apworld and standalone randomizer if upgrading from 0.5.X or earlier!

NOTE 2: The seed install process has changed! Rather than using a JSON file, download from the room using the Download patch link option and select the option to load a APFF12OW file in the FF12 randomizer program.

• Added archipelago.json file to AP world needed for AP 0.7.0
• Character Scaling logic has been renamed and updated to also require access to areas with at most 3 difficulty lower
  • Prevents immediately needing to jump to hard content after unlocking a bunch of characters/second board
• Logic has been reworked and simplified as there are now proper regions.
  • Allows you to exclude entire regions now in the YAML.
  • Logic exists to unlock areas through being sent to other areas (Most notably being sent to Balfonheim after defeating Cid 1 or 2)
  • Logic no longer requires going through areas like Zertinan to get to lower level areas like the Yensa Sandseas with the scaling logic option on
• Added new Writ of Transit goals to Defeat Shadowseer, Defeat Yiazmat, or Defeat Omega
• Added patch download link to the AP room
• Improved performance of the AP client and in game lua item receiving scripts
• Fixed seed history names being cut off for player names over 9 characters long
• Fixed Cloud Staff missing in licenses
• Fixed unique shops not properly scaling with the shop scale option
• Fixed systems access keys appearing in bazaar
• Fixed minor Dheed logic issues
