SMZ3 Cas’ Randomizer v4.2.2

[Vivelin]

This is a casual version of the original SMZ3 randomizer.

Please note: you might need to install the ASP.NET Core Runtime starting with v4.1.

Changes in 4.2

• Reworked "Hey tracker, clear <dungeon>" (Clearing a dungeon doesn't work properly #89, Clear dungeon fix #90)

  This command is now separate from clearing other areas, and will clear all items, including those that might be out of logic, and set the remaining treasure counter to zero. If any out-of-logic checks were cleared, Tracker will let you know about it, but still clear it.

• Tracker will no longer tolerate being interrupted too many times ([Experimental] Handle interruptions #98)

• Various new lines and songs for Tracker (Added some changes suggested by Constantine #87, Tracker additions and fixes #100)

  • Fixed IP binding issue in options window
  • Fixed Tracker not connecting to Twitch properly when starting a second time (TwitchLib doesn't connect to the channel when starting Tracker for the second time #92)

  • Improved idle detection by ignoring low confidence 'noise'

Changes in 4.2.2

• Added Ganon's Tower Big Key Guessing Game support when using Twitch integration (Ganon's Tower Big Key Guessing Game #115)
• Various bug fixes and polish (Bug fixes and polish #113)
  • Removed interruptions
    It was funny for a little bit but didn't turn out the way I wanted, and at this stage it's not worth trying to get it to work well
  • Fixed bullshit being considered progression
  • Fixed an error when asking for hints about an item that can't be found (anymore)
  • Fixed chat integration not working when entering a channel URL instead of just the username in the Twitch Channel field

Older release notes...

Changes in 4.1

• Added basic Twitch chat integration! Twitch integration #79

  • Use the Log in with Twitch option in the Options window to log in with Twitch and allow Tracker to access Twitch chat.

    ⚠️ Please note that the OAuth token field should be kept confidential! ⚠️
    Don't show the Options window on stream, don't tell anyone what this value is, and don't send someone your options.json file as it contains this token. It can be used to impersonate you in Twitch chat.

  • In this version, Tracker will greet people that say hey in chat, but this will be expanded upon in the future.

• Fixes to prevent issues with playing seeds that don't match the requested settings. Catch Seeds that are Inconsistent With Requested Settings #78

Changes in 3.2

This is mostly a maintenance release before I go on a brief hiatus.

• Fixed a crash on starting Tracker with a tracker.json from an older version;
  • It's still a good idea to re-apply any customizations manually after updating as you might miss out on new features otherwise.

  • Defeating a Zelda boss still tracks the item they drop; Metroid bosses do not.
• Removed "Love" as alternative for "Heart Container" because it was causing multiple mistracks;
• Minor other config changes.

• Added Hyrule Castle and Ganon's Tower to Tracker;
