I'm curious if there is any way to tag visible, non-accessible, items as heart pieces? If I see an item that is visible but garbage, I usually just mark that chest as complete; but I don't want to do that with heart pieces or full hearts but would be nice to know I've "seen" the item later in the game

I don't include them because they're junk items. You can modify the pack using overrides to allow you to pick them though. Feel free to search/peruse #customization-support if you'd like to do that.

Unfortunately I could only find vague mention of adding them to the tracker, but no explanation as to how to do it. I do see there is the ability to add markdowns, but I have no idea where to start with that either.
Avatar
Lurch9229 2021-05-15 16:42
so a markdown can be added by clicking the notepad on the check, then you can edit markdown, and pin the check to come back later
Avatar
cybordemon 2021-05-15 16:43
So I would just put a generic note on the location?
Avatar
Lurch9229 2021-05-15 16:44
Yeah, it's easier than trying to create an override if you have zero experience reading and editing the JSONS
Avatar
cybordemon 2021-05-15 16:46
I'll try the markdown option. Maybe one day I can figure out how to just add those items to my tracker. I found assets in the archives, but just can't figure out how to tie them into the tracker. I've tried messing with the JSONS but every time I think I'm doing something right, I end up making all the items disappear.

If you make an ā€œitemā€ for Random Incentive, add it to the capture grid, you can add it to the Note and the ā€œitemā€ will appear on-hover as the others do.

You remove all the story triggers, make all upgrade platforms and key acquisition platforms active all the time. There have been mods somewhat recently working towards this. I assume the rando is based on that work at least in part. (edited)

I believe it's because knowing your key and item count can save you checks that you would otherwise do while completing a dungeon. Leaving that up to the player to know and take into account could make a difference.

Not so much prevent cheating but to protect what could be a competitive impact

Avatar
TarThoron 2021-06-26 16:09
For manual tracking, any tracker can track vanilla, though some randomizers have to modify the base game to open things up, so maps might say something is in-logic when vanilla can't get there. Autotracking depends on how much has been changed. Even LttP autotracking doesn't work perfectly with vanilla roms.

For items-only (no map), pretty much any vanilla game can be tracked with a randomizer tracker. (Changed addresses might still break autotracking).

I don't think so. The story flags are sequential. Item collection is not
13:47
At least, not for the minor pickups
13:48
And in randomizer, the major pickups can show up in minor pickup locations
13:50
I've found where it's stored with the help of some google fu and some sleuthing. I would just need to build a parser to translate the data properly. So it can be used effectively
13:51
I'll have to work on it when I'm not at work though, as much as I really want to

It doesn't get blocked, click the "View more information" link or whatever it says on the warning and you'll have the option to run the program (assuming it's Windows Defender showing the warning). (edited)

Good evening. I am an asset creator, and I just have seen an instance where it looks like assets I assisted in creating, have been used in a emotracker module. Possibly with permission, possibly without. I would like to find information on whether or not accurate credit has been given for the assets made/used in a particular module. Could anyone direct me to where I can obtain the answers to my questions/concerns?

For MM, what do all the Item Pool/Check types correspond to? The more obscure ones, such as the owl statue face in the item pool and...everything else in the check types. I assume, in order (for the check types)...
Chests, NPC Rewards, Freestanding Items OR Scoops, Purchases, Minigames, Boss rewards, Moon items, Skulltulas, The 6 breakables, Beehives, Invis items, Enemies, Soil spots, Hit spots, Rocks, Glitches needed

If the randomizer page is unchecked, those items won't be in the pool, therefore you don't need them to show up on the tracker, and should deactivate them.

Does Auto Tracking continue from the tracker's current state? Or will I have to forgo things like specified entrance<>entrance, dungeon rewards etc. if I decide to take a break from a game I've been auto-tracking, save and then later resume ? (edited)
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-08-24 05:16
Saving should remember anything you've manually tracked and carry that over when you load. But there was just discussion in #pack-support about a save missing items upon reload, with indication that it's at least partially controllable by the pack dev, so it's apparently not infallible.
05:18
On the other hand, if you don't save, and instead just turn on auto when you come back, anything manually tracked will have to be retracked.
Avatar
cluekitty 2021-08-24 08:21
Auto tracking (from what I've gathered) tracks based on the games memory addresses. If you save the game on the emu/cart and start autotracking again, it should be able to see what you have regardless of when and where you saved, so long as the items you have are saved into the games save storage. But it would vary on the pack greatly (edited)

XenoWars 2021-08-24 08:52
i know the Prime 1 autotracker can autotrack just fine regardless of when you activate it

but that's a different tracker altogether

EmoSaru 2021-08-24 10:35
Autotracking only restores things that autotrack. So, in the case of LTTP, youā€™d need to save, load, and then re-enable autotracking.

EmoSaru 2021-08-30 19:36
If it is for a game I donā€™t specifically support yet, you may need to check under ā€œOtherā€ in the installed packs menu. Youā€™ll also need to restart the app after putting the zip file in that folder.

If you still have an issue, itā€™s likely an issue with the internal layout of the package zip file you have, and youā€™d need to get support from the pack developer. I only specifically provide support for packages distributed in the app.

It hasnā€™t been updated because pulling updates from them is a rather time consuming affair on average and Iā€™m planning on removing their stuff entirely longer term.

Autotracker works for games with packs that support it, and is supported with snes9x-rr, certain versions of bizhawk configured properly, and sd2snes/fx pak pro flash carts.
12:02
Apps like qusb2snes support emulating the sd2snes cartridge with some other emulators, allowing them to potentially work.

To be completely honest, I donā€™t expect the notes feature to ever rival a text editor in terms of speed. The ability to take notes on a specific location is interesting and useful in some cases, but if your use case is taking lots of notes extremely quickly, I will always recommend using a text editor.

Its currently on the beta server (which defaults to boss prize always randomized for the beta) (edited)

G4 credit for each of the 4 SM bosses is shuffled in with the crystals and pendants
19:21
So you might have green pendant Ridley and need to kill Arrghus to get to Tourian

(for example)

SM actual boss kills still count for their own doors i.e. Phantoon and turning on Wrecked Ship

I don't know enough about how the special flags total had to add to transfer SM kill/ALTTP crystals between games to know how easy it is for them to add that, might ask on his discord

Z3 boss prizes can be swapped with other boss prizes, but they can't be mixed into the general pool. Taking prizes away from bosses entirely breaks stuff. There might someday be a Triforce Hunt style mode, where the goal is to find a certain quantity of special items, but at this point it's just a maybe.

Huh I would guess that randomizing the tokens, pendants, and crystals into tank locations and chests will be possible once the feature is out of beta
Nicholas Steel 2021-12-08 02:08
iirc pendants or crystals (I forget which) crashes ALttP if collected from somewhere other than a boss (while actively playing ALttP). (edited)
Avatar
goldenspacedragon 2021-12-08 18:39
Oh So if they are randomized somewhere, itā€™s in SM And for SM bosses, the same idea
18:39
I see.
Avatar
Nicholas Steel 2021-12-09 03:24
No, no, in ALttP only bosses can give pendents/crystals due to a crash if they are collected elsewhere in ALttP (I think pendents cause it). I don't think a crash would happen in Super Metroid regardless of where they're placed. So any ALttP and Super Metroid boss can have pendents, crystals or Tourian keys in the beta. (edited)

delvan 2021-12-27 16:08
For ALTTP note that yellow "sequence break" on a dungeon sometimes just means it depends on where items spawned, not that you necessarily need to do a glitch to break something
16:09
e.g. desert palace with everything except boots will show yellow even if the torch item is just a compass, because the tracker doesn't know if you need the torch item
Avatar
Nicholas Steel 2021-12-28 04:31
I thought it used Orange in that scenario.
Avatar
XenoWars 2021-12-28 06:08
I think that item can be gotten with a glitch, but if not, it should be red, with the dungeon itself orange
06:09
Yellow on a whole dungeon does indeed mean the whole dungeon is completable out of logic. It would be orange once something becomes in logic
06:10
Green when everything in logic
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-12-28 06:44
Technically the torch item would be blue. Which is just red with special features.

Nicholas Steel 2021-12-28 07:58
You're right, it would be blue. Orange would be if the inaccessible item wasn't free-standing/is in a chest. (edited)
Avatar
hooktail154 2021-12-28 08:54
Orange just means ā€œmixed accessā€ so for a dungeon means that the sections within it donā€™t all have the same accessibility.
Avatar
delvan 2021-12-28 11:53
I have definitely played seeds where the tracker marked a dungeon as "sequence break" when it was actually fully in logic because, for example, hera dungeon was just a compass so it didn't matter I didn't have a fire source (edited)
11:54
Because the tracker doesn't know which items are where
11:54
That's all I'm advising to the new person above, don't assume a yellow dungeon in ALTTP is actually a sequence break
Avatar
PolychromeVirus 2021-12-28 11:58
whether things appear as yellow or green is up to how the pack maker coded the logic basically, orange is always just any mix of 2 colours on a check EXCEPT yellow and green (which resolves yellow)
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-12-28 12:04
Desert without boots should be orange, but I've definitely seen it be yellow (with access, gloves, fire, and a weapon for Lanmo).
12:05
I don't know of any minor glitches to get bonk items without boots
Avatar
EmoSaru 2021-12-28 12:38
Desert would be orange IF the tracker tracked chests instead of available item count.
12:39
The problem is that the "chests" on the tracker in LTTP dungeons (esp. in a non-keysanity seed) are not actual chests (edited)
12:39
They are available non-dungeon items
12:39
So the items in the dungeon are generally treated as one big pool, and certainly are in my pack.

Ever sense a few updates ago, certain tracking points just donā€™t show up on the map anymore. The first example that comes to mind is the chuchu cave on paw print island.

That was in August 2019 though. It's certainly possible people are that out of date, but hopefully everyone has updated at this point (doubt it). Since the latest update removed the autotracker whitelist requirement, I wouldn't be surprised if Emo took the service down, thus giving the error. Manual updates not working is a little odd though.

Are there any packs for ff4fe that have auto tracking support?

Hello everyone, my friend and I are building our own program to run with emotracker. Can anyone give me a point in the right direction on where I can learn how to build a package that would use our code?

What do you mean by ā€œrun with EmoTrackerā€? Youā€™re wanting to build and test your own pack that would run inside EmoTracker? (edited)

There is no loading of external code in EmoTracker.

The only supported extension mechanism is Lua scripting, which is also sandboxed by default. (edited)

I canā€™t find a good post at the moment, but, generally itā€™s the idea of looking at EmoSaruā€™s ALttP packā€™s contents and creating your own from that. Thereā€™s a process to do it. Iā€™ll see if I can find time in the next few days to put together a guide.

It's also a good portion of what #customization-support is for. The links in the channel topic and the info in the pins have all the information you need to make a pack, and people are more than willing to answer any questions that come up.

are there any plans to actually add documentation to the website

At this point, if Iā€™m being honest, it is more likely that I remove the tab from the website. The Discord serves as the defacto source for documentation and help. (edited)
