|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>Required Software:</h2>
|
|
`Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix` from the [Epic Games Store](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/discover/kingdom-hearts)
|
|
- Follow this Guide to set up these requirements [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/)<br>
|
|
1. `3.0.0 OpenKH Mod Manager with Panacea`<br>
|
|
2. `Install mod from KH2FM-Mods-Num/GoA-ROM-Edition`<br>
|
|
3. `Setup Lua Backend From the 3.0.0 KH2Randomizer.exe per the setup guide linked above`<br>
|
|
|
|
- Needed for Archipelago
|
|
1. [`ArchipelagoKH2Client.exe`](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)<br>
|
|
2. `Install mod from JaredWeakStrike/APCompanion`<br>
|
|
3. `Install mod from KH2FM-Mods-equations19/auto-save`<br>
|
|
4. `AP Randomizer Seed`
|
|
<h3 style="text-transform:none";>Required: Archipelago Companion Mod</h3>
|
|
|
|
Load this mod just like the <b>GoA ROM</b> you did during the KH2 Rando setup. `JaredWeakStrike/APCompanion`<br>
|
|
Have this mod second-highest priority below the .zip seed.<br>
|
|
This mod is based upon Num's Garden of Assemblege Mod and requires it to work. Without Num this could not be possible.
|
|
|
|
<h3 style="text-transform:none";>Required: Auto Save Mod</h3>
|
|
Load this mod just like the GoA ROM you did during the KH2 Rando setup. `KH2FM-Mods-equations19/auto-save` Location doesn't matter, required in case of crashes.
|
|
|
|
<h3 style="text-transform:none";>Installing A Seed</h3>
|
|
|
|
When you generate a game you will see a download link for a KH2 .zip seed on the room page. Download the seed then open OpenKH Mod Manager and click the green plus and `Select and install Mod Archive`.<br>
|
|
Make sure the seed is on the top of the list (Highest Priority)<br>
|
|
After Installing the seed click `Mod Loader -> Build/Build and Run`. Every slot is a unique mod to install and will be needed be repatched for different slots/rooms.
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>What the Mod Manager Should Look Like.</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>Using the KH2 Client</h2>
|
|
|
|
Once you have started the game through OpenKH Mod Manager and are on the title screen run the [ArchipelagoKH2Client.exe](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases). <br>
|
|
When you successfully connect to the server the client will automatically hook into the game to send/receive checks. <br>
|
|
If the client ever loses connection to the game, it will also disconnect from the server and you will need to reconnect.<br>
|
|
`Make sure the game is open whenever you try to connect the client to the server otherwise it will immediately disconnect you.`<br>
|
|
Most checks will be sent to you anywhere outside a load or cutscene.<br>
|
|
`If you obtain magic, you will need to pause your game to have it show up in your inventory, then enter a new room for it to become properly usable.`
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>KH2 Client should look like this: </h2>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
Enter `The room's port number` into the top box <b> where the x's are</b> and press "Connect". Follow the prompts there and you should be connected
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>Common Pitfalls</h2>
|
|
- Having an old GOA Lua Script in your `C:\Users\*YourName*\Documents\KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX\scripts\kh2` folder.
|
|
- Pressing F2 while in game should look like this. 
|
|
<br>
|
|
- Not having Lua Backend Configured Correctly.
|
|
- To fix this look over the guide at [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/). Specifically the Lua Backend Configuration Step.
|
|
<br>
|
|
- Loading into Simulated Twilight Town Instead of the GOA.
|
|
- To fix this look over the guide at [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/). Specifically the Panacea and Lua Backend Steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>Best Practices</h2>
|
|
|
|
- Make a save at the start of the GoA before opening anything. This will be the file to select when loading an autosave if/when your game crashes.
|
|
- If you don't want to have a save in the GoA. Disconnect the client, load the auto save, and then reconnect the client after it loads the auto save.
|
|
- Set fps limit to 60fps.
|
|
- Run the game in windows/borderless windowed mode. Fullscreen is stable but the game can crash if you alt-tab out.

|
|
<h2 style="text-transform:none";>F.A.Q.</h2>
|
|
|
|
- Why am I getting wallpapered while going into a world for the first time?
|
|
- Your `Lua Backend` was not configured correctly. Look over the step in the [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/) guide.
|
|
- Why am I not getting magic?
|
|
- If you obtain magic, you will need to pause your game to have it show up in your inventory, then enter a new room for it to become properly usable.
|
|
- Why am I missing worlds/portals in the GoA?
|
|
- You are missing the required visit locking item to access the world/portal.
|
|
- What versions of Kingdom Hearts 2 are supported?
|
|
- Currently `only` the most up to date version on the Epic Game Store is supported `1.0.0.8_WW`. Emulator may be added in the future.
|
|
- Why did I crash?
|
|
- The port of Kingdom Hearts 2 can and will randomly crash, this is the fault of the game not the randomizer or the archipelago client.
|
|
- If you have a continuous/constant crash (in the same area/event every time) you will want to reverify your installed files. This can be done by doing the following: Open Epic Game Store --> Library --> Click Triple Dots --> Manage --> Verify
|
|
- Why am I getting dummy items or letters?
|
|
- You will need to get the `JaredWeakStrike/APCompanion` (you can find how to get this if you scroll up)
|
|
- Why is my HP/MP continuously increasing without stopping?
|
|
- You do not have `JaredWeakStrike/APCompanion` setup correctly. Make Sure it is above the GOA in the mod manager.
|
|
- Why am I not sending or receiving items?
|
|
- Make sure you are connected to the KH2 client and the correct room (for more information scroll up)
|
|
- Why did I not load in to the correct visit
|
|
- You need to trigger a cutscene or visit The World That Never Was for it to update you have recevied the item.
|
|
- Why should I install the auto save mod at `KH2FM-Mods-equations19/auto-save`?
|
|
- Because Kingdom Hearts 2 is prone to crashes and will keep you from losing your progress.
|
|
- How do I load an auto save?
|
|
- To load an auto-save, hold down the Select or your equivalent on your prefered controller while choosing a file. Make sure to hold the button down the whole time.
