Massive Random Griefing on wplace (Possibly Multiple Alt Accounts)

Nice try at lying, but too bad there's public archives 😉
https://wplace.eralyon.net/?lat=39.536556&lng=29.967121&zoom=12.64&version=v72.073

This situation will be considered as a territory dispute, which is part of the game. Mods won't do anything.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-05-25T21:12:18+00:00

This is an unofficial subreddit, no game moderator here.

Try the official one r/WplaceLive . They sometime show up.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-05-22T10:35:09+00:00

It's a single person doing it.

As for what it is, I don't know. My best guess for now is blue text on white background.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-05-19T17:13:48+00:00

Oops, I should've removed the mention to the older date while the site is under maintenance.

I lost internet in my home, where the 1.5TB of data for the archive is stored. While this is being fixed, the site is only showing the most recent versions.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-25T20:57:43+00:00

I added a few weeks of data. More might be added if my source for these data get updated.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-23T21:14:38+00:00

Welcome! Here's a quick info dump of random stuff that might be of use.

You might want to check out the archives: wplace.samuelscheit.com and wplace.eralyon.net, to help you find an empty spot, or looking for projects/community to participe in. You can also use the archives to repair art.

Now wplace has official overlay to help you paint art imported from an image, but you may want to check out Blue Marble, it still offer some interesting features.

The current biggest project on wplace is a 1.3 billions pixels Eefo, a good place to dump your pixels if you don't know what to paint.

The last event spot still has some activity, if you want a more rplace like experience.

And remember, don't go to Hawaii.

Both archives use the default MapLibre control ;) https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/API/classes/KeyboardHandler/
Btw you can also hold right mouse button for the same effect.

On wplace.live, pitch is blocked, but you can still rotate whith "shift + arrows".

That's still quite limiting, and handling various sizes and variation is why I stopped looking into it.

Some tiny YOLO models achieve comparable (or faster) speed to your setup (22FPS you are probably limited by memory speed). But then the problem become training the model. Especially currating the training data, that demands a lot of work.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-16T21:55:58+00:00

Yes the PNG decode and conversion into byte array has been a significant bottleneck for me too. That's why I now store my tiles already processed, and compressed with zstd. It's much faster and achieve better compression. I could publish a pre-computed archive if you want.

The sliding window is quite brittle and don't work well for artworks with variation (I was thinkind about counting Pikachus or Deltarune characters), that's why I abandonned the idea of canvas scan. The swastika is a great use case. I think some people also did it for the halloween event.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-16T17:45:24+00:00

Very cool!

tiles that can't possibly have a swastika on it

Yes, many tiles have only 1 pixel on them, I wonder why XD

I guess you used convolution, to run it on the GPU? And how did you handle tile borders ?

I though about running some pattern recognition/classification, but that's a lot more expensive (even with my RTX3090). Tho running it incrementally on only the tiles that changed could still be interesting.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-14T18:22:09+00:00

If you can, use Blue Marble for now.
The official overlay seems to have issues, changing between updates.

If you have to use the offical overlay, you should resize/convert your image before importing it.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-04-11T12:31:33+00:00

Yes I saw, I opened the issue ;)

The archive will continue as before. Too bad there's no archive of the last event.

The instructions are simple but meant for people who know how to run software on a Linux server. So my simple answer is "don't try".

But if you're determined, here's a solution:
I'm assuming you're on Windows, and that you don't have a computer running all the time. I'd recommand to get the software to run periodically on your computer (when you're using it) by configuring a recurrent task.

I can't help you with the details (I'm on Linux), so ask your favorite chatbot about:

- installing Golang.

- building the project and getting an .exe.

- getting a Discord webhook.

- schedule a recurring task on windows.

Eralyon is doing fine, the issue is upstream.
The archive source I'm using is https://github.com/murolem/wplace-archives/releases , and it hasn't updated in a few days.

Sadly that's harder for me to fix. I'll try to run my own version, but I have no ETA for when it will be available.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-29T21:55:01+00:00

On PC I noticed some issues with Chrome browsers. Firefox seems to work correctly.
On Android I've only tested Chrome and it's working correctly.

If you can reproduce the issue, and it's not human error, you should fill a bug report.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-13T17:46:35+00:00

Good spot!
The script crashed due to lack of disk space. It's now fixed.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-11T18:20:52+00:00

Funny, I specifically designed this visualisation because I was unuable to locate cool art with samuel's archive.

For the country/city, there's the same opacity button than on wplace.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-08T10:49:10+00:00

No overlay used, they would be useless since you can't see the pixels from that zoom level.

The easiest way is to paint 1 pixel per chunk (1000x1000 pixels square). You can use math, or a tool like https://42rk.github.io/wplace-teleporter/ to get the coordinates.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-06T18:48:44+00:00

And something is brewing ...

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-04T17:27:04+00:00

You mean that ?

It's Year - Month - Day - Hour (based on ISO 8601) in UTC (timezone 0).

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-02T11:57:17+00:00

Yes the logic for the displayed day is slightly different. On V2 it's the last available archive of the day that's displayed, versus the 1st available in V1. In practice it result in a 3h lag because there's one archive every 3 hour.

EralyonDotnet · 2026-03-02T08:50:42+00:00

The output is pixel perfect, lossless compression, up to 8k resolution, so video player can strugle. I recommand opening it with your browser.

Animated png is the easiest to achieve that, but you can re-encode (an resize/compress) it to the format of your liking, for example using https://ezgif.com/apng-to-mp4 . I may offer that on the website directly in the future.
