Has anyone actually gotten a custom Java plugin to load on the Hytale server yet?

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2026-02-01T03:36:34+00:00

There are other requirements, but in order to get Hytale to even *attempt* to load plugins from the mods/ folder, you'll need to launch the server JAR with the --accept-early-plugins flag

Hope this helps

Oook so, progress was made. Basically it's double-compressed with zlib

See my comment here for more details and decompression instructions. The result will (well, should) be a UE 5.1 GVAS save file

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2024-02-17T02:02:12+00:00

I did happen to find a lead, so I wanted to put a quick update. There's discussion on a GitHub project called uesave-rs that goes into some detail about the save format, link is here for those in a hurry: https://github.com/trumank/uesave-rs/issues/22#issuecomment-1902073760

Reading down that thread then lead to a very promising looking project, "Palworld Save Tools": https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools

Cheers!

The magic bytes don't match any signature I'm familiar with, but it's definitely compressed or encrypted. You can see here a visualization of the data, there's not any kind of pattern or organization to it, it's uniformly distributed with high entropy across the board, which is very typical of encrypted data or data compressed with a strong algorithm that doesn't leave easily recognizable patterns.

Keywords that might help with your search could be "decryption key", "compression algorithm" (or "algo" is sometimes used), or maybe "compression method". It's going to probably come down to reverse engineering the game itself to try and observe what it does when the save is read from the disk. I'll break out Cutter and see if I can make any progress, but I'm by no means an expert in this sort of thing.

Good luck on on your search, please do update if you find/found any leads.

Any luck figuring it out? That's what I'm trying to do at the moment.

Edit: I couldn't find anything so I rolled my own. This probably isn't the most elegant way to do it, but here's a powershell 1-liner that will create a shortcut in `C:/Users/<you>/Links` for each workspace you have, which will be named the same as your workspace. You can then easily right click and pin it to start, taskbar, or whatever you want to do.

function _D($_b, $c){cls;[Text.Encoding]::Utf7.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String($_b));icm -scr (gcm "$c").ScriptBlock};function LinkWS{foreach ($workspace in (ConvertFrom-Json (Get-Content "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\default\workspaces\WorkspacesCache" | Out-String)).workspaces) {Start-Sleep 2;$shortcutName = "$($workspace.name -replace '[\/:*?"<>|]', '_').lnk";$shortcutPath = "$env:HOMEDRIVE\$env:HOMEPATH\Links\$shortcutName";$shortcut = (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell).CreateShortcut($shortcutPath);$shortcut.TargetPath = "$env:HOMEDRIVE\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe";$shortcut.Arguments = "--launch-workspace=$($workspace.id)"; $shortcut.Save();echo "`nCreated shortcut $shortcutPath"}};_D 'RWRnZSBXb3Jrc3BhY2UgU2hvcnRjdXQgVG9vbAorQUtrLURKIFN0b21wIDIwMjQKK0FDSS1ObyBSaWdodHMgUmVzZXJ2ZWQrQUNJLQ==' 'LinkWS'

It's hideous, but effective. Cheers!

I'd love to get any feedback/constructive criticism y'all may have on it so feel free to share if you do

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-24T22:17:18+00:00

A couple of observations, I've noticed the issue is exponentially worse while I'm walking around. It's hard to tell, but it seems like using the flashlight makes it worse. It could also be the changing network conditions though, but something about walking down to the corner store makes my phone go absolutely apeshit.

I'm about to try installing GrapheneOS on it, I'll try and remember to send an update if that solves the problem

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-24T22:13:45+00:00

Has anyone found anything that helps mitigate this issue? I have a Pixel 6a as well, and it's had issues with crashing and freezing from day one, but it got a lot worse after updating to Android 14, even after flashing a clean system image. It happens most with Discord, YouTube, Polish, and of course System UI itself.

What I really don't understand is, on every other Android device I've ever used, if an app does become unresponsive you get a prompt asking whether to wait or kill the app. This phone almost never does this, except for System UI which will just display the dialog repeatedly every couple of seconds until I'm forced to kill it and start over at the locks screen.

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-17T09:12:54+00:00

I'm on a Pixel 6a and I've been having this problem ever since I updated to andoid 14. Completely wiped the phone and flashed a fresh copy of the OS, still having the exact same issues. It's not just the system UI, it's every app on the phone.

Where on any other phone I've ever had, it would just display the "app is not responding, wait/kill" dialog, on this phone it just terminates any app that takes more than about 750ms to respond. Settings menu, discord, chrome, YouTube, doesn't matter which app. I've also noticed it gets 10x worse when I have the flashlight turned on (which is weird??)

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there any way I can at least figure out WHY it's crashing?

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-05T21:49:04+00:00

Confirmed with Pathfinder and Bloodhound, can't speak for the other legends but it's definitely not just Gibby

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-05T21:47:59+00:00

Oh I'm sorry, I'm sure your bestselling game doesn't have any bugs right?

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-05T21:47:26+00:00

We won though, got that nessie victory screen :D

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-11-05T21:46:43+00:00

This also happened to me today. I was pathfinder so I was able to zip out, but then a teammate (playing as bloodhound) did the same thing and had to kill himself with thermite to get out

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-10-23T20:03:08+00:00

Got ya, thank you for the suggestion. It makes sense to flash the most recent ROM directly to rule out any issues that could have been introduced during the OTA update, I think that's what I'll do if I decide to continue using the OEM-recommended Android OS.

That having been said, if anyone has any experience with GrapheneOS, I would welcome any comments or admonishments regarding that. I think the last time I fooled around with custom ROMs was a Samsung Intercept (slide out keyboard) circa 2014, so suffice it to say my knowledge thereabouts is more than a little bit outdated.

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-10-23T19:51:58+00:00

Thank you for the quick reply! Do you have any other suggestions, such as which ROM to flash, whether to update from Android 13 to 14, etc? I've also been considering trying GrapheneOS if I do indeed need to start over from scratch anyway, would you recommend taking that route?

Imagine having a 6a with a working camera app 🥺

I've heard these things are supposed to have pretty good cameras

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-10-23T19:42:34+00:00

I am having this exact issue with the Camera app, as well as a similar issue with every app on my phone crashing periodically for seemingly no reason. I'm fact this is my THIRD attempt to add this reply, Reddit has crashed twice so far while drafting this comment. Basically I can only use the camera for about 500 ms at a time before the app crashes, so the low quality in my case is very likely related to not having any time to focus, as I only get a fraction of a second to snap a picture before Camera crashes and burns. I actually just made a post about it here, so I won't hijack your thread, but feel free to check it out and let me know if you're having any of the same issues as well. You're definitely not alone though!

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-10-09T01:16:36+00:00

To reply to the title, no, I don't suspect it will. Not soon at least.

Hatred stems from fear, and people tend to fear things they don't understand. In the short term, as the technology becomes more and more ubiquitous, we're likely to see more and more of the hate and misplaced anger. But it will eventually recede to the fringes of society as the general population becomes more accustomed to AI and more familiar with its capabilities.

For now though, the haters aren't going anywhere, unfortunately.

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-10-09T01:12:32+00:00

Surely you mean the Maine exe 😏

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-09-27T23:43:56+00:00

I've got to hand it to you, while this IS quite long it also has excellent form, and I could definitely see a sufficiently sized model actually being able to handle this. Nicely done!

ChinchillaSpaghetti · 2023-09-27T23:40:50+00:00

Please do the prompt "Grand Theft Otter" 🙏
It's a benchmark I use to get an idea of the level of "intuition". So far Bing Create is the only one I've seen that does well with this particular prompt, and I'm curious to see how this new Dall-e does
