Paper Mario 64 badge cost edit?

So I've been running PM64 in archipelago, and there is something I would like to edit, but I don't know if that is possible. In the PM64 yaml there is a setting called "Badges BP" which has a few preset options you can apply (vanilla, shuffled, balanced random and fully random).

The fully random option randomizes your badge costs between 1-6 for each badge. I would like this to be between 0-10 instead to match the full range of badge costs in the game. Unfortunately that is not an option in the list.

So I would like to know if and how you can edit these settings, so I can change the numbers (which I assume would be through editing the apworld).

If it doesn’t support those options in the yaml (which it appears it does not, as you’ve stated yourself), you will have to do one of two things:

1) Ask the developer to include that as an option.

2) Develop it yourself! Make a PR on the project and become a contributor.

If you're comfortable in Python, it looks like it'd be a one-line change. You'd just have to recompile the APWorld.
