SMZ3 Cas’ Randomizer v3.3

This is a casual version of the original SMZ3 randomizer.

Changes in 3.3

• Changed fire rod logic for dark rooms to be consistent with logic in ALttPR. #44
• Improved performance related to progression checks. #42
• Added the ability for Tracker to recognize which specific items are missing. #45
  • Currently, this is used when asking for hints about a specific item, and as a bit of sass when tracking an item that's currently out of logic.
  • This might be expanded in the future (e.g. "Hey tracker, what's missing for Go Mode?")
• Added a few some interesting sprites from ALttPR and VARIA randomizer.
• Added an experimental Space Jump patch that relaxes the timings a bit and makes it easier to use (Super Cas’troid option in the randomizer).
• Misc. changes. #46
  • Added a status bar item that shows the last recognized phrase.
  • Added item name to hints when asking about an already cleared location.
  • Fixed Tracker saying "But you already have that" when tracking a boss after clearing the item that the boss drops.
  • Fixed undoing "Clear X treasures" only adding back 1 treasure.

Changes in 3.3.1 #47

• Added a menu speed option.
• Added item location options for Pegasus Boots and Space Jump.
• Restored Ganon's Tower logic requiring all main Metroid bosses to be defeated.
• Changed the recognized text status bar display to have a maximum length.

Changes in 3.3.2 #48

• Updated Super Cas’troid option to include the Space Jump Restart (Respin) patch.

Older release notes...

Changes in 3.2

This is mostly a maintenance release before I go on a brief hiatus.

• Fixed a crash on starting Tracker with a tracker.json from an older version;
  • It's still a good idea to re-apply any customizations manually after updating as you might miss out on new features otherwise.
• Changed bosses into a separate entity for consistency. Both Metroid and Zelda bosses can now be tracked/marked as defeated using the same commands;
  • Defeating a Zelda boss still tracks the item they drop; Metroid bosses do not.
• Removed "Love" as alternative for "Heart Container" because it was causing multiple mistracks;
• Minor other config changes.

Changes in 3.1

The main window now features a list of ROMs you've generated, with the ability to start playing or view the spoiler log from there. Contributed by @MattEqualsCoder.

• [Hotfix 3.1.1] Fixed dungeon keysanity logic in hint commands being inverted;
• Added hints & spoilers command, (#37);
  • "Hey tracker, where's {item}?"
  • "Hey tracker, what's at {location}?"
• Added Agahnim's Tower and Mother Brain to tracker;
• Added better location names to the location & map windows;
  • This mostly affects location names from Super Metroid; new names were taking mostly from the wiki and the Super Metroid speedrunning community;
  • These names can now be customized through locations.json in %LocalAppData%\SMZ3CasRandomizer;
• Various bugfixes and improvements based on stream feedback (#35);

Changes in 3.0.1

• Fixed triple digit counters;
• Fixed duplicate Content counters;
• Changed Tracker to use the counter multiplier in voice responses (e.g. 10 missiles instead of 2);
• Changed marking a location as having bullshit (or any other "nothing" item) to clear the location instead;
• Changed "Doesn't get you anywhere though" to trigger less often;
• Added Hyrule Castle and Ganon's Tower to Tracker;
• Added voice command for updating the number of items owned, e.g. "Hey tracker, I have 85 missiles";
  • Note: This might get removed in the future if it fucks with the voice recognition too much.
• Added deaths counter to Tracker;

Changes in 3.0

• Added item & location tracker with a map view contributed by @MattEqualsCoder
  • Generate a new game or hit Play, then press Start Tracker to try it out!

For more details, see the in-game voice commands reference by starting Tracker, then going to View and selecting Help, or read the pre-release patch notes.

Items, bosses and Tracker responses can be customized by editing the %LocalAppData%\SMZ3CasRandomizer\tracker.json file. Please note that this file may be overwritten by updates, so make sure to back up your changes before you update!

SMZ3 Cas’ Randomizer v2.9.9.22 - Tracker preview release #12

This is a casual version of the original SMZ3 randomizer.

Changes in 2.9.9.22 (Tracker preview build №12)

• Added right-click menu option to reset a dungeon to incomplete;
• Fixed dungeon treasure counters not displaying a '1' for remaining treasure;
• Fixed high missile counts from displaying improperly. Counters are now capped at 99;
• Fixed tracker freezing until she finishes talking when you try to quit Tracker;
• Improved map view handling of areas requiring keys;
• Improved crashes to now at least show a message that something went wrong, instead of crashing silently.

Changes in 2.9.9.21 (Tracker preview build №11)

• Fixed a crash when starting tracker without any available input devices;
  • You can now double-click the confidence level in the status bar to toggle voice recognition;

Changes in 2.9.9.20 (Tracker preview build №10)

• Fixed a crash when hitting the OK button in the Tracker Help window;
• Map bug fixes;
• Added a 'recognition' threshold option;
  • Everything below the new recognition threshold will ignored completely. Use this for e.g. when you're talking to others.
  • Everything below the execution threshold will also not be executed, but Tracker may ask you to repeat yourself. Use this to prevent e.g. the wrong item from being tracked.
  • Everything below the sass threshold will not result in Tracker potentially spoiling an item location in some instances.
• Added advanced voice commands to increase/decrease the three threshold options;
  • For example, say "Hey tracker, increase recognition threshold by 5 percent". Note: These commands only last during that session. Once you've found a good threshold level, don't forget to set it in settings before closing!
• Added a voice command to explicitly turn off Peg World mode;
  • Try saying "Hey tracker, toggle Peg World Mode off.".
• Improved: "Hey tracker, clear {dungeon}" now also marks the boss as defeated, in addition to clearing items.
  • Note: this does not work the other way around — marking the boss as defeated does not also clear items from the dungeon.

Changes in 2.9.9.19 (Tracker preview build №9)

• Fixed an issue where the tracker and map configuration files would not be updated properly with newer versions;

Changes in 2.9.9.18 (Tracker preview build №8)

• Fixed an issue with Outer Maridia not showing up on the map;
• Improved dungeon item tracking;
  • More commands now properly track treasure in dungeons when possible;
  • Replaced the "clear dungeon" command with a command to mark the boss as defeated to avoid confusion with clearing areas;
• Improved window management; position and size of tracker windows are now remembered and restored when starting tracker;
• Added treasure and item counters to the Tracker UI;
• Added Metroid boss placeholder sprites;

Changes in 2.9.9.16 (Tracker preview build №6)

Changes in 2.9.9.15 (Tracker preview build №5)

• Added untracking/removing items;
  • This is a pretty basic one; Undo is more reliable when a voice command was misheard;
• Added red crystals as dungeon reward;
• Improved manual tracking: left-click tracks/adds a copy, right-click opens a menu for untracking/removing a copy and other misc. actions;
• Improved item tracking grammar;

Changes in 2.9.9.11 (Tracker preview build №3)

• Added sticky location tracking — clearing a location will now "sticky" the region it was in so it doesn't disappear down the list once the remaining item count goes down;
• Fixed undo for several voice commands;
