KH2FM PC Randomizer Setup Guide

This guide will show you how to get the KH2FM randomizer running with sonic's GoA mod on PC using Topaz's LuaFrontend.

What you will need

• LuaFrontend download LuaFrontend.7z; if you don't have 7zip to extract the archive, you can download it here
• the GoA.lua mod file Click on "Download ZIP" in the top right corner.
• a .pnach randomizer seed file generated on Valaxor's website Just choose whichever settings you want and click "Download Seed" -> "CrazyCatz..."
• Num's Rando Converter Converts the old .pnach files to .lua files for LuaBackend

Make sure to extract all of them.

Creating a seed

You will need a new seed for every new run.
Important: Anything inside Experimental currently does not work with PC Rando. If you create a seed with boss rando, the seed will not work.

1. Get the .pnach seed file from Valaxor's website.
2. Drag your .pnach file and drop it onto "Rando Converter.exe". (Alternatively, you can copy the file into the same directory, launch the .exe and input the file name.)

Setting up LuaFrontend

1. Open LuaFrontend.exe
2. On the left side under "Games:", choose your game. ("[GL]" stands for global here and is usually what you'll want unless you specifically bought the japanese release.)
3. Right-click inside the box on the right under "Scripts:". Then click Open Script Folder.... Windows should open that folder in its File Explorer.
4. Copy your script files (GoA.lua and your seed file) into this folder.
5. Right-click inside the right box of LuaFrontend again and click Refresh List. Every script you have should now be listed inside the box with a green checkmark icon. If it shows a red X, double click the script to get a detailed error about what the problem is.
6. Start your game and click Engine > Start Engine. (You can also start your game afterwards. It does not matter.)
7. Optional: To reduce CPU load on single cores, enable multithreading under Engine > Enable Multi-Threading. This will require one logical CPU thread for each script, so make sure your CPU has enough of them. (If you only run GoA and a rando seed file, this option should work for most CPUs).
