Settings

Share Seed

Save Seed to Clipboard - Copies information about the currently configured seed to the clipboard so that you can send the same seed to other players. This is the recommended way to share seeds (sharing the seed .zip file itself is not guaranteed to work, especially if custom cosmetics are used).

Pick a Random Preset - Allows for the generator to choose one of your presets at random.

Daily Seeds

Allows you to load one of the current day’s daily seeds into the generator.

Choose Custom Visuals Folder - Displays a folder chooser allowing you to configure the location of custom visuals that you would like to include in some cosmetic replacement settings.

(Keyblade Options) - See Randomized Keyblades for descriptions of each keyblade option.

Remember Window Size/Position - If checked, the seed generator application attempts to open at the same size and position it was the last time it was closed.

LuaBackend Hook Setup - (This setup has been moved to OpenKH Mods Manager.)

About

Displays a window with information about the seed generator.

Seed

The name of the seed to generate. The seed settings, along with this name, determine the placement for all things randomized by the generator.

Make Spoiler Log

If enabled, adds a file to the generated seed .zip file detailing the locations of all the randomized items, as well as other information about the seed.

Locations

Max Level Reward - Controls the maximum level that can contain a randomized reward.

Note that the Level 1 option means you must choose either Vanilla or Junk rewards for Levels.

Dream Weapon Matters - At the beginning of a seed, the dream weapon you choose will determine when you get items from levels. When disabled, all weapons will give the same items on the same levels.

Critical Bonuses - If enabled, the 7 starting items on Critical Mode can contain randomized rewards.

Only enable this option if you plan to play on Critical Mode, or you may prevent yourself from obtaining those randomized rewards.

Garden of Assemblage - If enabled, the 3 chests in the Garden of Assemblage can contain randomized rewards.

Starting Visit Availability

Availability - How “visits” for worlds that have them (the 13 portal worlds) should be initially available.

Maximum Visits Available - When using Random Visits, the maximum number of random visits to unlock at the start. This can be the same as Minimum Visits Available to configure an exact number of random visits.

(individual location options) - When using Specific Visits, the number of visits to make available at the start for each location.

Worlds

Allows you to select whether each world has one of the following:

Superbosses / Misc Locations

Allows you to select whether each superboss/location can contain randomized rewards.

Any of the Misc Locations can be enabled independently of the associated world (e.g. Olympus Cups can be enabled without enabling Olympus Coliseum).

Promise Charm Depth - Configures locations where the Promise Charm can be placed.

Yeet The Bear Required - If enabled, forces the Proof of Nonexistence onto the popup reward from 100 Acre Wood - Starry Hill, thus requiring The Hunny Pot minigame to be completed in order to obtain the Proof.

Item Placement Biases

Enables a bias for the placement of various item types based on how overall difficult/easy you’d like accessing those items to be.

Very Early (Scaled) - Equivalent to Earlier (Scaled) with more bias to the early locations.

Earlier (Scaled) - Items in the category are more likely to be placed in the earliest locations, with the likelihood decreasing as locations get later.

Early (Twice as Likely) - Items in the category are twice as likely to be placed in the first half of locations.

None (Normal) - Items in the category are equally likely to be placed anywhere.

Boss/Enemy

Bosses

Boss Randomization Mode - Controls if and how the bosses should be randomized.

Selected Boss - Replaces every boss possible with the selected boss. Depending on the boss, this may not result in a completable seed. This value is ignored if Boss Randomization Mode is not “Selected Boss”.

Nightmare Bosses - If enabled, replaces bosses using only the most difficult bosses in the game, and forces Boss Randomization Mode to be “Wild”.

Bosses Can Replace Enemies - If enabled, replaces 0.5 percent of enemies in the game with a random boss. This option is intended for PC use only.

Randomize Cups Bosses - If enabled, includes the Olympus Coliseum cups bosses in the randomization pool.

Randomize Data Bosses - If enabled, includes the Data versions of Organization XII members in the pool.

Enemies

Enemy Randomization Mode - Controls if and how the enemies should be randomized.

Selected Enemy - Replaces every enemy with the selected enemy. Depending on the enemy, this may not result in a completable seed. This value is ignored if enemy randomization mode is not “Selected Enemy”.

Nightmare Enemies - If enabled, replaces enemies using only the most difficult enemies in the game.

Warning - this setting is experimental and may cause bad crashes

Combine Melee and Ranged enemies - Normally, ranged and melee enemies are randomized separate from each other, both for difficulty and to reduce crashing. On PC (where this is less likely to crash), ranged and melee enemies are no longer randomized separately if this option is enabled.

Warning - this setting is experimental and may cause bad crashes

Boss/Enemy-Only Mod

Generates a mod for OpenKH Mods Manager that only randomizes bosses and enemies. Can be useful if using a randomizer seed generated outside the standard seed generator (using Archipelago or otherwise).

Cosmetics

Visuals

Command Menu - controls the appearance of the command menu on-screen.

Visuals (PC Panacea Only)

These options will only work properly when using Panacea for loading mods. Things will likely look incorrect if using any of these options when patching the game.

Add Randomizer-Themed Textures - If enabled, adds a few KH2 Randomizer-themed textures to the game.

Item Pictures - controls the appearance of item pictures.

If you’d like control over categories for item pictures, you can create your own additional category folders, and you can edit the item-pictures.json file (located in the folder where you installed the seed generator) to configure the category/categories of each item. Items can be given multiple categories, and a replacement picture will be chosen from one of those categories. A category can be repeated in the configuration to give a certain category more “weight”.

Using this technique, you can get as precise as having limited a set of custom item pictures for each category, or a specific custom picture for each supported item in the game.

Using custom item pictures requires a Custom Visuals Folder to have been configured using the Configure menu -> Choose Custom Visuals Folder. Place any custom images into appropriate category folders within the item-pictures folder within your chosen > custom visuals folder. Custom images can be in .dds or .png format.

Room Transitions - controls the appearance of the room transition images.

Using custom room transition images requires a Custom Visuals Folder to have been configured using the Configure menu -> Choose Custom Visuals Folder. Place any custom images into a room-transition-images folder within your chosen custom visuals folder. Custom images must be in .png format.

Ending Screen - controls the appearance of the ending (“The End”) screen picture.

Using custom ending screen images requires a Custom Visuals Folder to have been configured using the Configure menu -> Choose Custom Visuals Folder. Place any custom images into an ending-pictures folder within your chosen custom visuals folder. Custom images must be in .png format.

Recolor Some Textures - If enabled, allows for basic recoloring of some of the in-game textures. See Texture Colors for more details.

Recoloring textures requires the OpenKH folder to be set up in the Configure menu, and for KH2 to have been extracted using the OpenKH Mods Manager setup wizard.

Keyblades

See the main Randomized Keyblades page for instructions.

Music

See the main Randomized Music page for instructions.

External Randomization Executables

Allows external randomization files to be executed every time a seed is generated. This can be used to integrate with external mods that have their own Randomize.exe file (or similar) that must be run in order to randomize their contents.

Cosmetics-Only Mod

Generates a mod for OpenKH Mods Manager that only randomizes cosmetics. Can be useful if using a randomizer seed generated outside the standard seed generator (using Archipelago or otherwise).
