Recommended Installation Instructions

Game Install

Install an x86 version of BepInEx 5.4.x to the cured version of Sonic Dreams Collection. The guide to do so can be found in their User Guide. Do not run the game yet.
Install the contents of SDC_Patches.zip to the BepInEx folder. You should have three folders in the BepInEx folder: config, core, and plugins.
Run the game to generate BepInEx's config data. If the mod installed properly, all the game buttons should be greyed out and you should see the Archipelago logo on the top right of the title screen.

Archipelago Connection

Click the Archipelago icon on the top right of the main menu.
Enter your Archipelago server's IP, your slot name, and your password in the following windows, then click OK.
The game should connect automatically; you can begin playing when you and/or your group are ready.

Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to have the Archipelago Text Client open alongside your game, as there are currently no indicators when you receive an item.

Please read the README file on the Sonic Dreams Collection Archipelago GitHub page for up-to-date installation instructions.

Your YAML file contains a set of configuration options which provide the generator with information about how it should generate your game. Each player of a multiworld will provide their own YAML file. This setup allows each player to enjoy an experience customized for their taste, and different players in the same multiworld can all have different options.

Where do I get a YAML file?

You can generate a YAML file by using the "Generate Template Options" function in the Archipelago client.
