  • Please choose a game from this list.
  • Signups will take place in each team's Discord Wars Archipelago discord in the format of Player Name - Link to your .yaml file
  • Mod volunteers will create rooms for groups of 5 players and create a thread for you all to coordinate.
  • If for some reason we need additional folks to fill a seed, we may either launch with less than 5 people or allow people to go twice just to help fill a room, but this will be at the mod’s discretion
  • In the event that someone bails, or becomes completely unresponsive and your seed is hard stuck, the seed creator will be able to help release those items and get the gamers moving again.
  • Your goal is to complete the goal for your game and then submit the tracker URL for verification. You can submit once your goal is complete. You do not have to wait for the entire group to finish.

Challenge Runs:

Each game in this section is to be done solo. You can help your teammates with guides, sharing strats, etc.
Points are awarded progressively based on how far you get in the challenge. In order to get full marks, you must beat the challenge.

RogueMon (100 Points)

  • RogueMon is a Pokémon FireRed hack that turns the game into a Roguelike. The goal (similar to Ironmon) is to beat the entire game with a single Pokémon.
  • Setup information can be found in these resources:
    • Website: https://www.roguemon.gg/
    • Rules: https://github.com/Crozwords/Roguemon
    • Setup guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26D8A1NCgCU
      • You must opt into the RogueMon extension’s beta to register your Discord Wars points. After you complete the setup in the video, open the game & tracker, click the cog in the top-middle of the tracker, click Extensions, and click RogueMon. Click Options (if the button does not work, relaunch the game and it should), then opt into the beta. Go back one menu and click Check For Updates. Wait a minute, then restart the game. Check that the RogueMon is now on version 2.2.9-beta.3. If it is, you’re good to go.
      • After launching the game for the first time, there will be a dialog to connect to the leaderboard. Sign up on the roguemon.gg website and you will be given an authentication key to enter in that dialog, which will connect your game to the leaderboard. THIS IS REQUIRED TO GET YOUR POINTS FOR DISCORD WARS. You can verify that you have it set up by checking your roguemon.gg profile after either beating or losing to the first trainer in Viridian Forest.
    • RogueMon Discord: https://discord.com/invite/C88N88yfCP
      • Links to the resources needed for installation can be found in the #resources channel of the Discord.
  • Either version of the game (Classic or Split) can be played.

    • Every Badge (10), Star Piece (15), and Shine Sprite (4) available up to this point in the game
  • If you do not want to play on Dolphin or use the provided save file then you must get as close to these initial conditions as possible and also inform a mod prior to your submission.
  • Once you enter the Pit of 100 Trials, leaving will end your run and you will have to reset your save file and start over to try again.
    • Dying in the Pit will automatically take you to your last save and you will lose any EXP, Money, and Items you collected. If you die and reload the save you may immediately re-enter and try again.
  • The following is NOT allowed prior to entering the Pit:
    • You may not fight other enemies for money, items, or EXP. If you encounter an enemy then you must run away.

Quest 64 (Nintendo 64)

  • USA Version.
  • Bizhawk requires you to enable a memory card to save, and does not start with it by default. To do this, load the game and go to N64 -> Controller Settings -> Enable "Memory Card" for Controller 1 -> Reboot the game to be able to save. (The game will warn you on starting a file if the controller pack is not enabled.)
  • Other than that, default bizhawk settings are workable for running the game. The mupen64plus core seems to work the best, but you may still encounter some slowdown during enemy fights with 3+ enemies at once.
  • Glitches have been taken into consideration and are allowed if you know how to perform them, as they’re of minimal benefit.
  • Saving your game in the final area (World of Mammon, after the Beigis bossfight) is a Point of No Return. Please check to make sure you have any desired achievements before proceeding.

Races: (100 Participation Points)

Races are run through racetime.gg and will require an account for your score and participation to be counted.
Add your racetime.gg username on the "Accounts" tab of your Discord Wars profile.
All rules have been taken from their respective speedrun.com pages. Any questions about rules should first review those resources for answers. Further questions can be directed to JTB on Discord.
You must be live streaming with a connected Twitch channel for your racetime account to participate in the races.

Points:
You can earn 20 participation points for up to 5 races. You can top 15 in any race for points.
Top 15 Finishers will get points based on their finish (60, 48, 40, 36, 32, 28, 24, 20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2)
The team with the MOST gamers in the top 15 will receive a bonus 200 points

For most games, we have two races. You can only join one of the races. All the results will be combined to find the top 15.

Race Procedure:

  • At least 20 minutes before the race start time: A mod will post a racetime.gg lobby in Discord. If you want to race, you should join the lobby as soon as you can.
  • At the race start time: The race will start as soon as everybody who has joined the lobby has readied up.
  • 10 minutes after the start time: If necessary, the race will be force-started. Anybody who has not readied up will be dropped from the race.

In order to ready up, your stream must be live and linked to your racetime.gg account. Don't wait until the last minute to get everything ready.
