# Known Issues

[List of Known Issues and Their Status](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bk-m-QRvH5iF60ndptKYgyaV7P93D3TiG8xmdxp_bdQ/edit?usp=sharing)
### If you want to playtest this, know these things:
- Camera unlocking issues, which opens up the possibility of a hardlock. The workaround is to move Link around until the camera locks in place. DO NOT try to transition where there is a visible line.
- Big Red Bomb may require bomb duping as ledge drops may be in the way of your path to the Pyramid Fairy crack
- Do NOT grab the Frogsmith until you have seen the Blacksmith location. Doing so may prevent you from continuing in your save file.
- Inverted regions/rules/logic is NOT implemented yet. Generation should fail 100%.
- If you fake flipper, beware of transitioning south. You could end up at the top of the waterfall in the southeast of either world. If you mistakenly drop down, it is important to NOT make any other movements and S+Q immediately or there will be a hardlock. Falling from the waterfall is avoidable but it is super easy to do as it is super close the the transition.
### Known bugs:
- When generating, there is a message about one location that remains unfilled. You will find a Nothing item at that location. This is known and being looked at.
- There may be an issue with progression being front-loaded in the seed in some scenarios, due to an unsophisticated shuffle algorithm that could make varying-sized parts of each world unreachable
- Some rare instances of vanilla transitions occur when they should not, you can tell when this bug occurs because it doesn't re-center you within the gap. These cases are seemingly unreproducable, so you can re-navigate to see where it was supposed to lead. Video proof of these occurances are helpful.

Only extra settings are found here. All door and entrance randomizer settings are supported. See their [readme](https://github.com/Aerinon/ALttPDoorRandomizer/blob/master/README.md)
## Door Shuffle (--doorShuffle)
## Overworld Shuffle (--owShuffle)
### Basic
### Full
Doors are shuffled only within a single dungeon.
### Crossed
Doors are shuffled between dungeons as well.
OW Transitions are shuffled within each world separately.
### Vanilla
Doors are not shuffled.
## Intensity (--intensity number)
#### Level 1
Normal door and spiral staircases are shuffled
#### Level 2
Same as Level 1 plus open edges and both types of straight staircases are shuffled.
#### Level 3
Same as Level 2 plus Dungeon Lobbies are shuffled
## KeyDropShuffle (--keydropshuffle)
Adds 33 new locations to the randomization pool. The 32 small keys found under pots and dropped by enemies and the Big
Key drop location are added to the pool. The keys normally found there are added to the item pool. Retro adds
32 generic keys to the pool instead.
## Crossed Dungeon Specific Settings
### Mixed Travel (--mixed_travel value)
Due to Hammerjump, Hovering in PoD Arena, and the Mire Big Key Chest bomb jump two sections of a supertile that are
otherwise unconnected logically can be reached using these glitches. To prevent the player from unintentionally changing
dungeons while doing these tricks, you may use one of the following options.
#### Prevent (default)
Rails are added the 3 spots to prevent this tricks. This setting is recommend for those learning crossed dungeon mode to
learn what is dangerous and what is not. No logic seeds ignore this setting.
#### Allow
The rooms are left alone and it is up to the discretion of the player whether to use these tricks or not.
#### Force
The two disjointed sections are forced to be in the same dungeon but the glitches are never logically required to complete that game.
### Standardize Palettes (--standardize_palettes)
No effect if door shuffle is not on crossed
#### Standardize (default)
Rooms in the same dungeon have their palettes changed to match. Hyrule Castle is split between Sewer and HC palette.
Rooms adjacent to sanctuary get their coloring to match the Sanctuary's original palette.
#### Original
Rooms/supertiles keep their original palettes.
## Map/Compass/Small Key/Big Key shuffle (aka Keysanity)
These settings allow dungeon specific items to be distributed anywhere in the world and not just in their native dungeon.
Small Keys dropped by enemies or found in pots are not affected. The chest in southeast Skull Woods that is traditionally
a guaranteed Small Key still is. These items will be distributed according to the v26/balanced algorithm, but the rest
of the itempool will respect the algorithm setting. Music for dungeons is randomized so it cannot be used as a tell
for which dungeons contain pendants and crystals; finding a Map for a dungeon will allow the overworld map to display its prize.
## Retro
This setting turns all Small Keys into universal Small Keys that can be used in any dungeon and are distributed across the world.
The Bow now consumed rupees to shoot; the cost is 10 rupees per Wood Arrow and 50 per Silver Arrow. Shooting Wood Arrows requires
the purchase of an arrow item from shops, and to account for this and the dynamic use of keys, both Wood Arrows and Small Keys will
be added to several shops around the world. Four "take any" caves are added that allow the player to choose between an extra Heart
Container and a Bottle being filled with Blue Potion, and one of the four swords from the item pool is placed into a special cave as
well. The five caves that are removed for these will be randomly selected single entrance caves that did not contain any items or any shops.
In further concert with the Bow changes, all arrows under pots, in chests, and elsewhere in the seed will be replaced with rupees.
## Seed
Can be used to set a seed number to generate. Using the same seed with same settings on the same version of the entrance randomizer will always yield an identical output.
## Count
Use to batch generate multiple seeds with same settings. If a seed number is provided, it will be used for the first seed, then used to derive the next seed (i.e. generating 10 seeds with the same seed number given will produce the same 10 (different) roms each time).
