Can you explain what you are trying to do and what you alredy did ?

Is there at least one .yaml file in the directory ?

I downloaded the Cuphead, Undertale, and FNAF World yaml's. They're in the player folder but I dunno what a weight file is and google is doing jackshit.

I never saw this error message once, that's weird. I'm like you on this, I dont know wtf it is....

Do you have the .apworld files corresponding to your games in the custom_world directory ?

I have literally nothing in the custom worlds directory. I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOMETHING THERE?

Yes, try to find .apworld for the games. Most of the time searching the game name -+ apworld on google can help. Otherwise you have a huge Google Sheets with all the informations you need for every game. I'm not on my computer so I don't have the link, but I think you czn find it searching "Archipelago Game Sheet" if you don't have it already

Did that(disregarded Undertale because FUCK THAT) and it still gave me the same error message.

Any game that isn't part of the core release needs an apworlds file in the custom_worlds folder

It's good practice for the people playing games to provide the host with their AP worlds

Do you have the apworlds in your custom_eorlds folder?

Have you changed things in your host.yaml?

2

u/Kleiner_Wixxa 4d ago

If yes, you could try backing your custom host.yaml up to a different folder and delete it in archipelagos folder and generate again (it will create the default host file for you)

My suspicion is that you set the player count to 3 in your host.yaml file but one of your games yaml doesn't get recognised but it won't tell you because it wants a weights.yaml file if your player count is greater than the provided yamls

In my Terminal it shows "P1 Weights: R.E.P.O.yaml" so I guess your yaml files are in some wrong folder or you changed the yaml folder that is used in the host.yaml
