Not connecting to archipelago

[VeeAurelius]

SO gonna try to be as detailed as possible because i cannot find anything anywhere to guide me.
Running archipelago 0.6.6
running randomizer 9.9.10
generate my roms through archipelago
select archipelago option in the randomizer
This launches bizhawk
I connect via the sni lua
Never registers a connection to the archipelago server and it is not communicating with the other games. Tested by grabbing an smz3 item in another game and the item never comes to smz3. Reinstalling smz3 randomizer is changing anything
Re parsing rom via smz3 does not work
Game opens the rom, runs rom, but will not communicate with the other games nor the archipelago server

@VeeAurelius Are you running the SNI Client in Archipelago? It's planned for the future, but currently SMZ3 Cas' doesn't communicate to the server itself, so you need to leave the SNI Client open after generating or re-open the client via the Archipelago application.

yep i just discovered that by accident. So my problem is my archipelago client doesn't auto launch the sni client for some reason. Literally just stumbled onto this solution 30 seconds ago. Sorry to trouble you and i appreciate the help

@VeeAurelius No worries. Not sure when I'll have the time to get to it, but hopefully eventually I'll be able to add direction support and bypass having the AP SNI Client running and just have SNI running (or connect via our Lua script to BizHawk).
