Potential Issue: I can't tell what this should be labelled as, but I thought I'd point it out. #40

Closed enderbrah12 closed 4 years ago

enderbrah12 commented 4 years ago

So, these are my items: image

With these items, the tracker says that in order for me to get the PBs on the Crateria Surface...I have to do the Green Gate Glitch. On top of this, once normal bombs were obtained, it said that no technique was no longer required, even though I'd still have to do Infinite Bomb Jump...so wouldn't it say that I have to do that? image

Is this an issue? Or is there something else that I'm not aware of here?

Hello,

The location difficulty and required techniques/items are computed from the current access point (the red gps icon on the map) and in the tooltip we don't separate the difficulty/items/techniques used for the path between access points from the ones used to access the location from the nearest location's access point. This separation is something I wanted to do for a long time, but it's not an easy task and it may impact the performances. We have an entry about it in our todo list, so it may be solved one day.

Also with speedbooster you can access Crateria Surface's PB doing a diagonal shine spark from the ship, so IBJ is no longer required.

image separation of path/location difficulty/techniques/items is done internally and in the solver spoiler. now I'll see if I can find a way to do the same in the tracker tooltips.

Thanks for explaining this. It makes more sense to me now. It was just strange that it was doing it, but now I can understand why.
