Install the PeaksOfArchipelago Mod using r2modman
You can install the PeaksOfArchipelago mod using r2modman in one of two ways.
One, you can use the Thunderstore website and click on the "Install with Mod Manager" link.
You can also use the mod manager directly: open r2modman > find Peaks of Yore > select game > create new profile >
select profile > online > search for "Archipelago" in the r2modman interface.
The mod manager should automatically install all necessary dependencies as well.
THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR OTHER MODS, USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK
Running the Modded Game
Click on the Start modded button in the top left in r2modman to start the game with the MultiworldGG mod installed.
Configuring your YAML File
What is a YAML and why do I need one?
You can see the basic multiworld setup guide here on the MultiworldGG website to learn about why MultiworldGG uses YAML files and what they're for.
Where do I get a YAML?
You can use the game options page here on the Archipelago website to generate a YAML using a graphical interface.
Joining an Archipelago Session
Connecting to server
Once the game is launched, if everything is installed correctly, you should see a button Mods on the main menu.
After clicking on Mods to open the in-game mod manager, you should see all the installed mods,
and go to the Peaks Of Archipelago config, this is where you connect to
the server, enter your slot name (the name entered when preparing your yaml file), the hostname and port so for
example: multiworld.gg:60324 becomes hostname=multiworld.gg and port=60324, add a password if necessary.
The auto connect option will connect automatically when the game is restarted later but may fail if the port has changed, which might happen if the server has been offline for a while.
Once everything is entered click the Connect button to connect to the server, and if everything is correct
you should be connected and a green notification saying Connection Successful should pop up near the center of your screen.
If the connection fails, showing Connection failed, see the console for more details in red,
the console that opened together with the game should give more information about the fail.
To start the game, begin on a new save, to continue, use the same save you have used before.
WARNING: Loading vanilla (unmodded) saves has a very high probability of breaking progression.
Gameplay
When playing randomised peaks of yore, tool unlocking, books, and most other things in your cabin are turned into items, and therefore not unlocked through normal progression. Summiting peaks and collecting things on peaks no longer count to normal progression, and instead send items to the multiworld.
Warning: The Alps DLC has not been implemented yet, so going to the Alps may result in unforeseen consequences.
