Command Line Usage

randovania echoes validate path/to/randomizer.log

Checks if the given Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Randomizer seed is beatable by a casual player.

randovania echoes validate --difficulty 5 --skip-item-loss --print-final-path path/to/randomizer.log

Check if the seed if the given seed is beatable using every known trick, no matter how difficult. This does not include going out of bounds.

It will also print the order of pickups taken and events triggered in order to finish the game.

randovania echoes generate-seed --difficulty 3 --skip-item-loss

Generate a new seed and validate it until a possible seed is found. Please not that this is a very CPU intensive operation, and your computer can be non-responsive while it runs.

Dropping the difficulty, or disabling --skip-item-loss may cause this operation to take even hours to finish, depending on your CPU.

When finished, it will output the seed number. Use this number with the Echoes Randomizer as usual. Be sure to remember to pass the correct exclusion list. (The default for this operation is no exclusions.)

Limitations

• There's no way to choose each trick individually via CLI.
• The data set does not include out of bounds movement.
• Dark World damage requirements, while mapped, are not verified.
• Opening Blast Shield doors from a side does not consider the other side as unlocked.

Options

See randovania --help.
