# Archipelago General Client
## Archipelago Connection Handshake
These steps should be followed in order to establish a gameplay connection with an Archipelago session.
1. Client establishes WebSocket connection to Archipelago server.
2. Server accepts connection and responds with a [RoomInfo](#RoomInfo) packet.
3. Client may send a [GetDataPackage](#GetDataPackage) packet.
4. Server sends a [DataPackage](#DataPackage) packet in return. (If the client sent GetDataPackage.)
5. Client sends [Connect](#Connect) packet in order to authenticate with the server.
6. Server validates the client's packet and responds with [Connected](#Connected) or [ConnectionRefused](#ConnectionRefused).
7. Server may send [ReceivedItems](#ReceivedItems) to the client, in the case that the client is missing items that are queued up for it.
8. Server sends [PrintJSON](#PrintJSON) to all players to notify them of the new client connection.
In the case that the client does not authenticate properly and receives a [ConnectionRefused](#ConnectionRefused) then the server will maintain the connection and allow for follow-up [Connect](#Connect) packet.
There are also a number of community-supported libraries available that implement this network protocol to make integrating with Archipelago easier.

## Synchronizing Items
When the client receives a [ReceivedItems](#ReceivedItems) packet, if the `index` argument does not match the next index that the client expects then it is expected that the client will re-sync items with the server. This can be accomplished by sending the server a [Sync](#Sync) packet and then a [LocationChecks](#LocationChecks) packet.
Even if the client detects a desync, it can still accept the items provided in this packet to prevent gameplay interruption.
When the client receives a [ReceivedItems](#ReceivedItems) packet and the `index` arg is `0` (zero) then the client should accept the provided `items` list as its full inventory. (Abandon previous inventory.)
# Archipelago Protocol Packets
Packets are sent between the multiworld server and client in order to sync information between them. Below is a directory of each packet.
Packets are simple JSON lists in which any number of ordered network commands can be sent, which are objects. Each command has a "cmd" key, indicating its purpose. All packet argument types documented here refer to JSON types, unless otherwise specified.
An object can contain the "class" key, which will tell the content data type, such as "Version" in the following example.
Example:
```javascript
[{"cmd": "RoomInfo", "version": {"major": 0, "minor": 1, "build": 3, "class": "Version"}, "tags": ["WebHost"], ... }]
```
## (Server -> Client)
These packets are are sent from the multiworld server to the client. They are not messages which the server accepts.

Additional arguments sent in this package will also be added to the [SetReply](#SetReply) package it triggers.
#### DataStorageOperation
A DataStorageOperation manipulates or alters the value of a key in the data storage. If the operation transforms the value from one state to another then the current value of the key is used as the starting point otherwise the [Set](#Set)'s package `default` is used if the key does not exist on the server already.
DataStorageOperations consist of an object containing both the operation to be applied, provided in the form of a string, as well as the value to be used for that operation, Example:
```json
{"operation": "add", "value": 12}
```
The following operations can be applied to a datastorage key
| Operation | Effect |
| ------ | ----- |
| replace | Sets the current value of the key to `value`. |
| default | If the key has no value yet, sets the current value of the key to `default` of the [Set](#Set)'s package (`value` is ignored). |
| add | Adds `value` to the current value of the key, if both the current value and `value` are arrays then `value` will be appended to the current value. |
| mul | Multiplies the current value of the key by `value`. |
| pow | Multiplies the current value of the key to the power of `value`. |
| mod | Sets the current value of the key to the remainder after division by `value`. |
| max | Sets the current value of the key to `value` if `value` is bigger. |
| min | Sets the current value of the key to `value` if `value` is lower. |
| and | Applies a bitwise AND to the current value of the key with `value`. |
| or | Applies a bitwise OR to the current value of the key with `value`. |
| xor | Applies a bitwise Exclusive OR to the current value of the key with `value`. |
| left_shift | Applies a bitwise left-shift to the current value of the key by `value`. |
| right_shift | Applies a bitwise right-shift to the current value of the key by `value`. |
| remove | List only: removes the first instance of `value` found in the list. |
| pop | List or Dict: for lists it will remove the index of the `value` given. for dicts it removes the element with the specified key of `value`. |
| update | Dict only: Updates the dictionary with the specified elements given in `value` creating new keys, or updating old ones if they previously existed. |
### SetNotify
Used to register your current session for receiving all [SetReply](#SetReply) packages of certain keys to allow your client to keep track of changes.
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Notes |
| ------ | ----- | ------ |
| keys | list\[str\] | Keys to receive all [SetReply](#SetReply) packages for. |
## Appendix
### Coop
Coop in Archipelago is automatically facilitated by the server, however some of the default behaviour may not be what you desire.
If the game in question is a remote-items game (attribute on AutoWorld), then all items will always be sent and received.
If the game in question is not a remote-items game, then any items that are placed within the same world will not be send by the server.
To manually react to others in the same player slot doing checks, listen to [RoomUpdate](#RoomUpdate) -> checked_locations.
### NetworkPlayer
A list of objects. Each object denotes one player. Each object has four fields about the player, in this order: `team`, `slot`, `alias`, and `name`. `team` and `slot` are ints, `alias` and `name` are strs.
Each player belongs to a `team` and has a `slot`. Team numbers start at `0`. Slot numbers are unique per team and start at `1`. Slot number `0` refers to the Archipelago server; this may appear in instances where the server grants the player an item.
`alias` represents the player's name in current time. `name` is the original name used when the session was generated. This is typically distinct in games which require baking names into ROMs or for async games.
```python
from typing import NamedTuple
class NetworkPlayer(NamedTuple):
team: int
slot: int
alias: str
name: str
```
Example:
```json
[
{"team": 0, "slot": 1, "alias": "Lord MeowsiePuss", "name": "Meow"},
{"team": 0, "slot": 2, "alias": "Doggo", "name": "Bork"},
{"team": 1, "slot": 1, "alias": "Angry Duck", "name": "Angry Quack"},
{"team": 1, "slot": 2, "alias": "Mountain Duck", "name": "Honk"}
]
```
### NetworkItem
Items that are sent over the net (in packets) use the following data structure and are sent as objects:
```python
from typing import NamedTuple
class NetworkItem(NamedTuple):
item: int
location: int
player: int
flags: int
```
In JSON this may look like:
```json
[
{"item": 1, "location": 1, "player": 1, "flags": 1},
{"item": 2, "location": 2, "player": 2, "flags": 2},
{"item": 3, "location": 3, "player": 3, "flags": 0}
]
```
`item` is the item id of the item. Item ids are in the range of ± 2<sup>53</sup>-1.
`location` is the location id of the item inside the world. Location ids are in the range of ± 2<sup>53</sup>-1.
`player` is the player slot of the world the item is located in, except when inside an [LocationInfo](#LocationInfo) Packet then it will be the slot of the player to receive the item
`flags` are bit flags:
| Flag | Meaning |
| ----- | ----- |
| 0 | Nothing special about this item |
| 0b001 | If set, indicates the item can unlock logical advancement |
| 0b010 | If set, indicates the item is important but not in a way that unlocks advancement |
| 0b100 | If set, indicates the item is a trap |
### JSONMessagePart
Message nodes sent along with [PrintJSON](#PrintJSON) packet to be reconstructed into a legible message. The nodes are intended to be read in the order they are listed in the packet.
```python
from typing import TypedDict, Optional
class JSONMessagePart(TypedDict):
type: Optional[str]
text: Optional[str]
color: Optional[str] # only available if type is a color
flags: Optional[int] # only available if type is an item_id or item_name
player: Optional[int] # only available if type is either item or location
```
`type` is used to denote the intent of the message part. This can be used to indicate special information which may be rendered differently depending on client. How these types are displayed in Archipelago's ALttP client is not the end-all be-all. Other clients may choose to interpret and display these messages differently.
Possible values for `type` include:
| Name | Notes |
| ---- | ----- |
| text | Regular text content. Is the default type and as such may be omitted. |
| player_id | player ID of someone on your team, should be resolved to Player Name |
| player_name | Player Name, could be a player within a multiplayer game or from another team, not ID resolvable |
| item_id | Item ID, should be resolved to Item Name |
| item_name | Item Name, not currently used over network, but supported by reference Clients. |
| location_id | Location ID, should be resolved to Location Name |
| location_name | Location Name, not currently used over network, but supported by reference Clients. |
| entrance_name | Entrance Name. No ID mapping exists. |
| color | Regular text that should be colored. Only `type` that will contain `color` data. |
`color` is used to denote a console color to display the message part with and is only send if the `type` is `color`. This is limited to console colors due to backwards compatibility needs with games such as ALttP. Although background colors as well as foreground colors are listed, only one may be applied to a [JSONMessagePart](#JSONMessagePart) at a time.
Color options:
* bold
* underline
* black
* red
* green
* yellow
* blue
* magenta
* cyan
* white
* black_bg
* red_bg
* green_bg
* yellow_bg
* blue_bg
* magenta_bg
* cyan_bg
* white_bg
`text` is the content of the message part to be displayed.
`player` marks owning player id for location/item,
`flags` contains the [NetworkItem](#NetworkItem) flags that belong to the item
### Client States
An enumeration containing the possible client states that may be used to inform
the server in [StatusUpdate](#StatusUpdate). The MultiServer automatically sets
the client state to `ClientStatus.CLIENT_CONNECTED` on the first active connection
to a slot.
```python
import enum
class ClientStatus(enum.IntEnum):
CLIENT_UNKNOWN = 0
CLIENT_CONNECTED = 5
CLIENT_READY = 10
CLIENT_PLAYING = 20
CLIENT_GOAL = 30
```
### NetworkVersion
An object representing software versioning. Used in the [Connect](#Connect) packet to allow the client to inform the server of the Archipelago version it supports.
```python
from typing import NamedTuple
class Version(NamedTuple):
major: int
minor: int
build: int
```
### SlotType
An enum representing the nature of a slot.
```python
import enum
class SlotType(enum.IntFlag):
spectator = 0b00
player = 0b01
group = 0b10
```
### NetworkSlot
An object representing static information about a slot.
```python
import typing
from NetUtils import SlotType
class NetworkSlot(typing.NamedTuple):
name: str
game: str
type: SlotType
group_members: typing.List[int] = [] # only populated if type == group
```
### Permission
An enumeration containing the possible command permission, for commands that may be restricted.
```python
import enum
class Permission(enum.IntEnum):
disabled = 0b000 # 0, completely disables access
enabled = 0b001 # 1, allows manual use
goal = 0b010 # 2, allows manual use after goal completion
auto = 0b110 # 6, forces use after goal completion, only works for release and collect
auto_enabled = 0b111 # 7, forces use after goal completion, allows manual use any time
```
### Hint
An object representing a Hint.
```python
import typing
class Hint(typing.NamedTuple):
receiving_player: int
finding_player: int
location: int
item: int
found: bool
entrance: str = ""
item_flags: int = 0
```
### Data Package Contents
A data package is a JSON object which may contain arbitrary metadata to enable a client to interact with the Archipelago server most easily. Currently, this package is used to send ID to name mappings so that clients need not maintain their own mappings.
We encourage clients to cache the data package they receive on disk, or otherwise not tied to a session. You will know when your cache is outdated if the [RoomInfo](#RoomInfo) packet or the datapackage itself denote a different version. A special case is datapackage version 0, where it is expected the package is custom and should not be cached.
Note:
* Any ID is unique to its type across AP: Item 56 only exists once and Location 56 only exists once.
* Any Name is unique to its type across its own Game only: Single Arrow can exist in two games.
* The IDs from the game "Archipelago" may be used in any other game.
Especially Location ID -1: Cheat Console and -2: Server (typically Remote Start Inventory)
#### Contents
| Name | Type | Notes |
| ------ | ----- | ------ |
| games | dict[str, GameData] | Mapping of all Games and their respective data |
#### GameData
GameData is a **dict** but contains these keys and values. It's broken out into another "type" for ease of documentation.
| Name | Type | Notes |
|---------------------|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| item_name_to_id | dict[str, int] | Mapping of all item names to their respective ID. |
| location_name_to_id | dict[str, int] | Mapping of all location names to their respective ID. |
| version | int | Version number of this game's data. Deprecated. Used by older clients to request an updated datapackage if cache is outdated. |
| checksum | str | A checksum hash of this game's data. |
### Tags
Tags are represented as a list of strings, the common Client tags follow:
| Name | Notes |
|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| AP | Signifies that this client is a reference client, its usefulness is mostly in debugging to compare client behaviours more easily. |
| DeathLink | Client participates in the DeathLink mechanic, therefore will send and receive DeathLink bounce packets |
| Tracker | Tells the server that this client will not send locations and is actually a Tracker. When specified and used with empty or null `game` in [Connect](#connect), game and game's version validation will be skipped. |
| TextOnly | Tells the server that this client will not send locations and is intended for chat. When specified and used with empty or null `game` in [Connect](#connect), game and game's version validation will be skipped. |
### DeathLink
A special kind of Bounce packet that can be supported by any AP game. It targets the tag "DeathLink" and carries the following data:
| Name | Type | Notes |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| time | float | Unix Time Stamp of time of death. |
| cause | str | Optional. Text to explain the cause of death, ex. "Berserker was run over by a train." |
| source | str | Name of the player who first died. Can be a slot name, but can also be a name from within a multiplayer game. |
