Q-UP Randomizer Setup

Required Software

• Q-UP
• BepInEx
  • If you are using Windows, you will likely need the BepInEx_win_x64_[version].zip
• Q-UP Archipelago Mod
• Q-UP Archipelago World

Installation

0. If you care about your current save files, make a backup!
   • The mod does not use vanilla save files, but things can always go wrong.
   • On Windows, your save files are located here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\EHG\Q-UP
   • Backup the entire folder, not just the saves subdirectory
1. Extract BepInEx in your Q-UP game directory
   • You can find your game directory by right-clicking Q-UP on steam then go to Manage > Browse local files
   • For more detailed instructions, check out the official user guide
2. Place the Q-UP Archipelago Mod in .../steamapps/common/Q-UP/BepInEx/plugins
   • In the end, your Q-UP game directory should look something like this:

   ├───BepInEx
   │   ├───cache
   │   ├───config
   │   ├───core
   │   ├───patchers
   │   └───plugins
   │       └───Q-AP
   ├───MonoBleedingEdge
   └───Q-UP_Data
   

3. Start the game on Steam, like you normally would
   • If everything worked correctly, you will see the Q-UP Archipelago screen instead of the character selection
