# Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty
## Where is the settings page?
The [player settings page for this game](../player-settings) contains all the options you need to configure and export a
config file.
## What does randomization do to this game?
Items which the player would normally acquire throughout the game have been moved around. Logic remains, so the game is
always able to be completed. Options exist to also shuffle around the mission order of the campaign.
The following unlocks are randomized as items:
1. Your ability to build any non-worker unit (including Marines!).
2. Your ability to upgrade infantry weapons, infantry armor, vehicle weapons, etc.
3. All armory upgrades
4. All laboratory upgrades
5. All mercenaries
6. Small boosts to your starting mineral and vespene gas totals on each mission
## What is the goal of Starcraft 2 when randomized?
You find items by making progress in bonus objectives (like by rescuing allies in 'Zero Hour') and by completing
missions. When you receive items, they will immediately become available, even during a mission, and you will be
notified via a text box in the top-right corner of the game screen. (The text client for StarCraft 2 also records all
items in all worlds.)
The goal remains unchanged. Beat the final mission All In.
Missions are launched only through the text client. The Hyperion is never visited. Aditionally, credits are not used.
## What items and locations get shuffled?
## What is the goal of this game when randomized?
Unit unlocks, upgrade unlocks, armory upgrades, laboratory researches, and mercenary unlocks can be shuffled, and all
bonus objectives, side missions, mission completions are now locations that can contain these items.
The goal is to beat the final mission: 'All In'. The config file determines which variant you must complete.
## What has been changed from vanilla Starcraft 2?
## What non-randomized changes are there from vanilla Starcraft 2?
Some missions have been given more vespene gas available to mine to allow for a wider variety of unit compositions on
those missions. Starports no longer require Factories in order to be built. In 'A Sinister Turn' and 'Echoes
of the Future', you can research protoss air armor and weapon upgrades.
1. Some missions have more vespene geysers available to allow a wider variety of units.
2. Starports no longer require Factories in order to be built.
3. In 'A Sinister Turn' and 'Echoes of the Future', you can research Protoss air weapon/armor upgrades.
## Which items can be in another player's world?
Any of the items which can be shuffled may also be placed into another player's world. It is possible to choose to limit
certain items to your own world.
## When the player receives an item, what happens?
When the player receives an item, they will receive a message through their text client and in game if currently playing
a mission. They will immediately be able to use that unlock/upgrade.
## Which of my items can be in another player's world?
By default, any of StarCraft 2's items (specified above) can be in another player's world. See the
[Advanced YAML Guide](https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Archipelago/advanced_settings/en)
for more information on how to change this.

# Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty Randomizer Setup Guide
# StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty Randomizer Setup Guide
This guide contains instructions on how to install and troubleshoot the StarCraft 2 Archipelago client, as well as where
to obtain a config file for StarCraft 2.
## Required Software
- [Starcraft 2](https://starcraft2.com/en-us/)
- [Starcraft 2 AP Client](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago)
- [Starcraft 2 AP Maps and Data](https://github.com/TheCondor07/Starcraft2ArchipelagoData)
- [StarCraft 2](https://starcraft2.com/en-us/)
- [The most recent Archipelago release](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)
- [StarCraft 2 AP Maps and Data](https://github.com/TheCondor07/Starcraft2ArchipelagoData)
## General Concept
## How do I install this randomizer?
Starcraft 2 AP Client launches a custom version of Starcraft 2 running modified Wings of Liberty campaign maps
to allow for randomization of the items
1. Install StarCraft 2 and Archipelago using the first two links above. (The StarCraft 2 client for Archipelago is
included by default.)
2. Click the third link above and follow the instructions there.
3. Linux users should also follow the instructions found at the bottom of this page
(["Running in Linux"](#running-in-linux)).
## Installation Procedures
## Where do I get a config file (aka "YAML") for this game?
Follow the installation directions at the
[Starcraft 2 AP Maps and Data](https://github.com/TheCondor07/Starcraft2ArchipelagoData) page you can find the .zip
files on the releases page. After it is installed, just run ArchipelagoStarcraft2Client.exe to start the client and connect
to a Multiworld Game.
The [Player Settings](https://archipelago.gg/games/Starcraft%202%20Wings%20of%20Liberty/player-settings) page on this
website allows you to choose your personal settings for the randomizer and download them into a config file. Remember
the name you type in the `Player Name` box; that's the "slot name" the client will ask you for when you attempt to
connect!
## Joining a MultiWorld Game
### And why do I need a config file?
Config files tell Archipelago how you'd like your game to be randomized, even if you're only using default settings.
When you're setting up a multiworld, every world needs its own config file.
Check out [Creating a YAML](https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en#creating-a-yaml) for more information.
## How do I join a MultiWorld game?
1. Run ArchipelagoStarcraft2Client.exe.
2. Type in `/connect [server ip]`.
3. Insert slot name and password as prompted.
4. Once connected, use `/unfinished` to find what missions you can play and `/play [mission id]` to launch a mission.
For new games under default settings the first mission available will always be Liberation Day[1] playable using the
command `/play 1`.
2. Type `/connect [server ip]`.
3. Type your slot name and the server's password when prompted.
4. Once connected, switch to the 'StarCraft 2 Launcher' tab in the client. There, you can see every mission. By default,
only 'Liberation Day' will be available at the beginning. Just click on a mission to start it!
## Where do I get a config file?
## The game isn't launching when I try to start a mission.
The [Player Settings](/games/Starcraft%202%20Wings%20of%20Liberty/player-settings) page on the website allows you to
configure your personal settings and export them into a config file.
First, check the log file for issues (stored at `[Archipelago Directory]/logs/SC2Client.txt`). If the below fix doesn't
work for you, and you can't figure out the log file, visit our [Discord's](https://discord.com/invite/8Z65BR2)
tech-support channel for help. Please include a specific description of what's going wrong and attach your log file to
your message.
## Game isn't launching when I type /play
### Check your installation
First check the log file for issues (stored at [Archipelago Directory]/logs/SC2Client.txt. There is sometimes an issue
where the client can not find Starcraft 2. Usually 'Documents/StarCraft II/ExecuteInfo.txt' is checked to find where
Starcraft 2 is installed. On some computers particularly if you have OneDrive running this may fail. The following
directions may help you in this case if you are on Windows.
1. Navigate to '%userprofile%'. Easiest way to do this is to hit Windows key+R type in `%userprofile%` and hit run or
type in `%userprofile%` in the navigation bar of your file explorer.
2. If it does not exist create a folder in her named 'Documents'.
3. Locate your 'My Documents' folder on your PC. If you navigate to 'My PC' on the sidebar of file explorer should be a
link to this folder there labeled 'Documents'.
4. Find a folder labeled 'StarCraft II' and copy it.
5. Paste this 'StarCraft II' folder into the folder created or found in step 2.
These steps have been shown to work for some people for some people having issues with launching the game. If you are
still having issues check out our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/8Z65BR2) for help.
Make sure you've followed the installation instructions completely. Specifically, make sure that you've placed the Maps
and Mods folders directly inside the StarCraft II installation folder. They should be in the same location as the
SC2Data, Support, Support64, and Versions folders.
## Running in Linux
To run StarCraft 2 through Archipelago in Linux, you will need to install the game using Wine then run the Linux build of the Archipelago client.

Make sure you have StarCraft 2 installed using Wine and you have followed the [Installation Procedures](#installation-procedures) to add the Archipelago maps to the correct location. You will not need to copy the .dll files. If you're having trouble installing or running StarCraft 2 on Linux, I recommend using the Lutris installer.

Copy the following into a .sh file, replacing the values of **WINE** and **SC2PATH** variables to the relevant locations, as well as setting **PATH_TO_ARCHIPELAGO** to the directory containing the AppImage if it is not in the same folder as the script.

For Lutris installs, you can run `lutris -l` to get the numerical ID of your StarCraft II install, then run the command below, replacing **${ID}** with the numerical ID.

lutris lutris:rungameid/${ID} --output-script sc2.sh
This will get all of the relevant environment variables Lutris sets to run StarCraft 2 in a script, including the path to the Wine binary that Lutris uses. You can then remove the line that runs the Battle.Net launcher and copy the code above into the existing script.
