Hacknet: Archipelago

An Archipelago client mod for Hacknet

Hi, my name is Bit, and if you're reading this, I'm already dead.

The circumstances of my death were... unique, to say the least. In order to prevent just anyone uncovering this rat's nest, I've scattered the programs you need across multiple different universes. Some very similar to your own, but most not.

Work smart, work hard, and work in unison to find me and avenge my death. Doing this now is our last chance, I think.

Installation

• Download and install Hacknet: Pathfinder
• Download the latest HacknetAPClient.zip release from the Releases page
• Extract the ZIP file to <Hacknet Install>/BepInEx/plugins
• Follow How To Use

Additional Details

• Hacknet Pathfinder DOES NOT WORK ON MAC/OSX. As such, HacknetAP does not support it, either.
• HacknetAP is only tested with Archipelago 0.7.0 and will not work on versions earlier than 0.6.1! May not work on later versions.

Things to Note

These are important. If you don't read them, you might think some things are broken.

• Any mission that requires you to download/upload an executable file is replaced with a mission to gain admin access on the target node, instead.
  • For example, in the mission, "Getting some tools together", you are usually required to download SSHCrack.exe.
  • Instead, you simply have to gain admin access to the node it's on, and then you can complete the mission.
• Striker's PC (DLC) usually has a fast administrator, but it's been replaced with a basic administrator.
  • This means, once you disconnect from it after gaining admin access, you have 15 seconds to complete the mission.
• When connecting to CSEC for the first time, you will be automatically disconnected. Simply reconnect to the node.
  • This is just something funky that happens due to the way Hacknet loads daemons.
  • You only need to do this once per savefile.
• If you have RAM limits enabled, do not panic when the game starts with full RAM on a new savefile.
  • Without full RAM, the tutorial exe cannot launch, and the player becomes softlocked.
  • Once the tutorial is finished, the RAM limit will kick in.
• Due to its size, the music for music rando is a separate download (APMusic.zip)
  • If you want music rando, place this in the /plugins folder alongside HacknetAPClient.dll.

How To Use

• Download/Install Archipelago
• Download the latest APWorld/YAML
• Edit the YAML as needed
• Place the APWorld in the /custom_worlds folder of your Archipelago installation
• Generate and host a game with Archipelago
• Install the client mod, if you haven't already [ ^ ]
• Launch Hacknet, and enter the details as following:
  • URI: Full URI (host:port) where your game is hosted.
    • (e.g., archipelago.gg:54321, localhost:38281)
  • Slot Name: The name of your slot. (e.g., Player1, Autumnet)
  • Room Pass: If you've set up a password for your room, put it here.
• After entering the details, click Connect To Archipelago.
• That's it - now you can start a new save file.
  • If you're resuming a previous game of Archipelago, you should instead load the respective savefile.
• Whenever you wish to disconnect, you can simply close the game, or disconnect from the main menu. Either way will cleanly disconnect you from the server.
