OoTR Mystery Settings

This is a python script to be used with the Ocarina of Time Randomizer. Its purpose is to randomize more settings than the built-in Randomize Main Rule Settings will and customize how often each option will get selected via a simple json file.

How to

• Take MysterySettings.py and put it into the main folder of an OoTR repo (forks work just the same).
• Run MysterySettings.py once to create mystery-weights.json. This file will contain all settings and their corresponding options with default weights of 1.
• Customize the weights to your liking. For each setting, the chance for each individual option will be [value for this option] / [sum of values for all options for this setting].

  • For example

      "open_door_of_time": {
          "true": 2,
          "false": 1
      },

    will result in open_door_of_time being true 2/3 of the time and false 1/3 of the time.

• Run MysterySettings.py again and it will read mystery-weights.json to create mystery-plando.json. This file will contain the selected settings, so do not look inside to avoid spoilers.
• Run Gui.py from the OoTR repo:
  • At the top of the first tab ROM Options check Enable Plandomizer (Optional).
  • Select mystery-plando.json you just created for Plandomizer File right below it.
  • Generate your seed and enjoy the mystery :D
• You can "save" different weights by keeping the customized mystery-weights.json. The script will always read from a file with that name in the same folder.

Limitations

Right now it is not possible to randomize certain things with this script:

• Excluded Locations
• Enabled Tricks
• Starting Equipment
• Starting Songs
• Starting Items

When generating your seed, the randomizer will instead chose whatever you have selected in the GUI for those 5 lists.
