Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty Randomizer Setup Guide

Required Software

• Starcraft 2
• Starcraft 2 AP Client
• Starcraft 2 AP Maps and Data

General Concept

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

Installation Procedures

Follow the installation directions at the Starcraft 2 AP Maps and Data 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.

Joining 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.

Where do I get a config file?

The Player Settings page on the website allows you to configure your personal settings and export them into a config file.

Game isn't launching when I type /play

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 for help.

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 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.

# Let the client know we're running SC2 in Wine
export SC2PF=WineLinux
export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python

# FIXME Replace with path to the version of Wine used to run SC2
export WINE="/usr/bin/wine"

# FIXME Replace with path to StarCraft II install folder
export SC2PATH="/home/user/Games/starcraft-ii/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/"

# FIXME Set to directory which contains Archipelago AppImage file
PATH_TO_ARCHIPELAGO=

# Gets the latest version of Archipelago AppImage in PATH_TO_ARCHIPELAGO.
# If PATH_TO_ARCHIPELAGO is not set, this defaults to the directory containing
# this script file.
ARCHIPELAGO="$(ls ${PATH_TO_ARCHIPELAGO:-$(dirname $0)}/Archipelago_*.AppImage | sort -r | head -1)"

# Start the Archipelago client
$ARCHIPELAGO Starcraft2Client

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.
