  • Learnable by all characters.

  • As soon as you learn it you can warp to all previously visited towns. Even if u didn't have warp at that time.

Correct translations

I'm not sure whether a code within the randomizer is a good idea to apply translation changes. If anything, that would make more sense as a separate code, but it's ultimately up to abyssonym to decide whether the randomizer is the correct place for something like that in the first place.

[phku-hk]

I thought so too at first. But

• a) it is already patching other stuff in so applying some translation patches wouldn't make that much difference
• b) it is more convenient to load a vanilla rom and get a translation patch as well.

[abitofBaileys]

Yes but that patch would be best to be either included by default for the randomizer then or having a dedicated code for it, not being locked behind a code like Blitz that is supposed to do something different.

[phku-hk]

I dont intend it to be locked behind blitz. It will affect all modes. However if your web app only uses this repo for blitz mode, then it wouldn't affect all modes. hmm... I'll open up a translation issue on abyssonym's master. Nevermind. I tried applying "Frue Lufia" Patch but checksum is different and randomizer refuses to work ... hm

[abitofBaileys]

The web app ideally uses anything that's in abyssonym's randomizer GitHub repo, right now it's using yours because of the Blitz code addition. Once abyssonym would have merged your PR I'd switch the web app back to their repo and remove the "Testing" notice from the code.

The Web app does provide instructions for setting up your own Web GUI so anyone, or I, can always make a 2nd one for this repo exclusively, under a different domain.
