Troubleshoots

The provided dll requires other dependencies so if you encounter a crash when launching the game.
- installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version should fix it : https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe.
The Windows console tends to freeze preventing you from sending or receiving any items.
- You must Alt+Tab, click on the console and press enter to refresh it.
When trying to stream the Dark Souls 3 window to Discord when the Archipelago mod is used along ModEngine, the game crashes instantly with "Fatal Application Exit" window containing the ExpCode 0x80000003.
- Change the modengine.ini file and set blockNetworkAccess=0

Building Locally

To build the project:

Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/Marechal-L/Dark-Souls-III-Archipelago-client.git).
Install submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive).
Open archipelago-client\archipelago-client.sln in Visual Studio.
Run Build > Build.

That's it! The mod will be in x64\Debug\archipelago.yaml. Copy that over the file of the same name from the released version of the mod and you can test against your local build.
