VVVVVV MultiWorld Setup Guide
Required Software
- VVVVVV (Bought from the Steam Store or GOG Store Page, NOT Make and Play Edition!)
- V6AP
Installation and Game Start Procedures
- Install VVVVVV through either Steam or GOG
- Go to the page linked for V6AP, and press on the topmost entry
- Scroll down, and download the zip file corresponding to your platform (NOTE: Linux currently does not build automatically. Linux users will have to compile manually for now. Mac is unsupported, but may work if APCpp is compiled and supplied)
- Unpack the zip file where you have VVVVVV installed.
Joining a MultiWorld Game
To join, set the following launch options: -v6ap_name "YourName" -v6ap_ip "ServerIP".
Optionally, add -v6ap_passwd "YourPassword" if the room you are using requires a password. All parameters without quotation marks.
The Name in this case is the one specified in your generated .yaml file.
In case you are using the Archipelago Website, the IP should be archipelago.gg.
If everything worked out, you will see a textbox informing you the connection has been established after the story intro.
Installation Troubleshooting
Start the game from the command line to view helpful messages regarding V6AP. These will look something like "V6AP: Message"
Game no longer starts after copying the .exe
Most likely you forgot to set the launch options. -v6ap_name "YourName" and -v6ap_ip "ServerIP" are required for startup.
Game Troubleshooting
What happens if I lose connection?
V6AP tries to reconnect a few times, so be patient. Should the problem still be there after about a minute or two, just save and restart the game.
