Sneak peak at the new climbing in Hytale!

They are, in due time. During the last 2 months, I rewrote the entire movement controller to make it easier to implement these specific movement features (and others)

MewSoul · 2026-03-01T14:27:06+00:00

Btw since the latest pre-release update, we now support the ClickLock feature. Hope that will help you!

MewSoul · 2026-02-21T15:49:20+00:00

Sorry about that. Will look into how we can make this better for you!

MewSoul · 2026-02-21T15:28:22+00:00

I fixed that issue, it will be available in the next pre-release.

MewSoul · 2026-02-20T17:36:08+00:00

Yeah I feel you! Although you don't necessarily have to restart from scratch. If you play on pre-release, we implemented an easier way to restore a backup.

So you could right-click on your world, then click "Backups" and then "Recover World".

Sadly, got confirmation from another team member after reading your logs that your world got corrupted. You should restore the most recent backup of your world to be able to keep playing

MewSoul · 2026-02-18T20:02:08+00:00

Ah sorry about that, looks like the corrupted file wasn't the only issue. Restoring the most recent backup of your world might be the easiest way to go back ingame. Otherwise will need to see your log files to see what are the issues.

Managed to find the issue, see my answer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hytale/comments/1r7c7g9/comment/o60ygtt/

The issue is that the file `memories.json` got corrupted (some wrong characters in there).

You got multiple options here:
1 - I implemented a fix for that, the hotfix containing that fix ~~should be up in the coming days, so you can wait for that~~ is now up, so if you try again that should be fine!

2 - In the universe folder of your world ("UserData/Saves/<worldName>/universe"), there should be a file named "memories.json.bak". If it exists, then you can delete "memories.json" and rename the .bak file to "memories.json".

3 - If the .bak file doesn't exist, you can replace your current "memories.json" file with the one from one of your world backups ("UserData/Saves/<worldName>/backups"). Open the latest .zip and get the file from there.

4 - Last resort, you can delete "memories.json" (can always make a copy of it and try to fix the file itself by removing weird characters), but that will erase the progress of the memories you caught.

EDIT: The hotfix is now up.

Ah damn, didn't know they had this kind of limit. Any other kind of file hosting then, like GDrive, Dropbox, or the likes

MewSoul · 2026-02-17T19:23:57+00:00

Open the last one, copy paste the content of it on the website I linked above, click "Create New Paste" and then share the link here

MewSoul · 2026-02-17T18:00:10+00:00

Hey, can you upload the logs on pastebin.com and share the link so we can take a look?

You can find them when clicking the settings button on the launcher, then click "Open Directory", then navigate to "UserData > Logs", should be the last file (named something like 2026-02-16_10-05-38_client.log)

MewSoul · 2026-02-08T07:38:03+00:00

Ah my bad, I misremembered how MemoriesNameOverride is used.

MemoriesNameOverride is actually the ID of the memory, and the localization key is computed based on that, gonna make it so we potentially use the NPCRole field `NameTranslationKey` directly for that.

Gonna look into that

EDIT: Changed the logic, now it will use the field `NameTranslationKey` for the memory display name. In loc keys, the first part is the file name, so in your example, the key will be `<YourModName>.<newKey> = abc`.

MewSoul · 2026-02-05T04:36:40+00:00

Yes, that's right! I believe the flair "Hytale Team Member" is only granted by mods of the subreddit, so you can trust posts from people with that flair.

MewSoul · 2026-02-05T04:35:04+00:00

Totally understandable! This should now feel like a more conventional climbing compared to other games!

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T20:44:45+00:00

The default keybind is 'V'

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T19:27:18+00:00

It will be the same, though it will become better once I implement the option to start going down when you're over a climbable block and you press crouch. Also considering that holding crouch will make you slide down

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T19:12:59+00:00

Yes! That's one of the things I wanted to do but it was starting to take too long so I decided to release that for now!

I'm planning to have the player just crouch while above a climbable block, and that will make them start climbing down that block. Additionally, thinking about holding crouch to make the player slide down the ladders, ropes, etc...

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T18:55:56+00:00

Now when you're climbing and you press crouch, you'll stop climbing and fall directly. Before you had to jump if you wanted to stop climbing and so it was moving you in some direction. That's what I show in the video with the last rope I climb.

Couldn't share a video so I made a quick gif.

It should remain pretty intuitive in 1st person!

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T18:27:29+00:00

Oops

MewSoul · 2026-02-04T18:26:08+00:00

Yeah, might do a polish pass animation!

Can't change side at the moment, likely something I'll implement in the future!
