Dark Souls III Archipelago Map Tracker Pack for PopTracker

This is a Dark Souls III AP Map Tracker for PopTracker. Designed around nex3's Dark-Souls-III-Archipelago-client (v3.0.13), setup for auto-tracking as well for Archipelago 0.6.5.

Installation

1. If you haven't already, download PopTracker.
   • If you have Windows, download the poptracker_[version]_win64.zip file.
2. Extract the downloaded file.
3. Download ds3_tvv1gk.zip from the Releases section.
4. Move ds3_tvv1gk.zip file into /poptracker/packs/.
5. You're all set!

Connecting to AP

To connect to the AP server for auto-tracking, click on the AP button at the top of the tracker and a separate window should pop up asking for you to "Enter Archipelago host and port", in which you should type in archipelago.gg:PORT_NUMBER (or whatever ip:port combination you're connecting to), select OK and then continue to "Enter slot" and "Enter password" (if the room has no password, leave it blank). Once complete, the AP button at the top of the tracker window should turn "Green" meaning you are now auto-tracking!

Location Groups filtering

The auto-tracker isn't able to get exclude_locations and excluded_location_behavior settings from the server. For this specific reason I created a way to manually filter location groups like exclude_locations. Left of the AP button is an Open Pack Settings button. It should bring up a window like this:

How to use it?

• Currently, Archipelago tracks exclude_locations and missable locations, even when they're set to do_not_randomize. For this reason, I recommend using the filters to include ONLY important locations (= locations that can have progression/key items) by turning off every location group included in exclude_locations despite what it's set to.
  • Although, if you have excluded_location_behavior set to allow_useful, you can leave these location groups ON, but you should know that these locations won't have progression/key items.
• The auto-tracker can only and will set automatically enable_ngp and enable_dlc. These groups have red asterisks next to them.
• Grayed: OFF / Bright: ON -> ON means that locations with this trait can be displayed.
• A location will be displayed on the map if its every trait is ON:
  • i.e. FS: Skull Ring - kill Ludleth will be displayed on the map if Friendly NPC Rewards, Hidden, Rings and Firelink Shrine is ON at the same time.
• Missable locations are NOT implemented!
  • Every location that can have a progression/key item is implemented!
