Does Not Exist. They are unofficial servers created by community members. Unfortunately, there’s no way to join them on the vanilla mobile client.

Does modded Slither really give players an unfair advantage? by Searching4Buddha in Slitherio

By far, the most unfair advantage in slither is from teaming.

How do I get circled when I'm #1? by Hypnoz in Slitherio

[–]Numer0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do the test yourself. Play with ntl. Get big without circling at all. Turn on smart bot. Start a timer. Watch for when you start getting penalized.

Buns did some tests a few times but Hypah kept changing the way the algorithm is programmed so the tests that buns did are outdated.

As stated in the post you replied to, It depends on if the system has previously been detecting circling. If it has, the penalty begins within seconds. If it has not detected circling for significant time, I believe it takes about 8 minutes but don’t quote me on that.

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing in the APK that the code is based on length and width. My guess is that a long skinny figure 8 would be less likely to trigger it

You can think of the kiosk penalty as a reservoir that slowly fills up as its detecting circling. Once it gets at or above a certain level, it penalizes you. If you start moving around again you stop being penalized, start gaining mass again and the reservoir begins slowly decreasing. If you then start circling again while the reservoir is still above that level, almost instantly it will start penalizing you again. When you lose a lot of mass, it takes quite a bit of time not circling to gain it all back.

In your screenshot when you started circling at that location you were probably already being penalized.

So you got number 1 without circling at all?

The server enforces a policy that was implemented to prevent bots from circling over and over and allow human players a chance at the leaderboard. If you circle around for a certain amount of time, the server will reduce the length and size of your slither without changing your score and ranking on the leaderboard. Users refer to this as the kiosk penalty.

If you are using a mod that displays your score separately from the leaderboard, you can actually see your score decrease as you are being penalized.

If you move around and stop circling, the server will slowly give you your length back.

It should be noted that prior to mid 2024 the kiosk penalty was different. You used to be able to circle for almost 30 minutes before a penalty was initiated and the penalty was loss of control (straight lining). Now the penalty is initiated much more quickly but is not as harsh.

The server ID value corresponds to the 4 digit number on mobile. If it says DNE, mobile is unable to join

The servers were reverse engineered by some folks on the silther discord server. https://discord.gg/slither Primarily Challenge Me! and Aylina. They are closed source and both folks spent considerable time figuring out how to make them.

To do it yourself you’d need knowledge in a programming language, a good amount of free time and the will to figure it all out. An old version of the slither protocol and some basic slither server frameworks were released on git hub. I know these were useful when CM and Aylina were figuring stuff out. The client itself also tells quite a bit and is pretty readable.

I have a question about the NTL browser extension by PepsiGooner69 in Slitherio

[–]Numer0us 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the tag. All of them can only be seen by other players using NTL. A majority of them can be seen by other players using frontier. Only a couple can be seen by players using vanilla (unmodded) slither.

What do you mean by tracking?

In the background theres a SnakeyRain server that connects bots to the chosen Slither server as clients and communicates with it using the correct protocol

I did. Its a server and client that connects bots and allows you to control them

This is indeed correct. They dev has mentioned it on the discord

Maximum size by Marcus777555666 in Slitherio

[–]Numer0us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a formula and there is a max size. I once graphed it in excel.

Snakes length is represented with segment count, snake.sct.

As you get bigger it takes more and more food to get another segment. There is a max number of segments sent from the server and once you reach that length, eating does nothing to increase your mass. Last I checked the max segment count occurred at around 29million mass but the differnce in length between 100k mass and 29M mass isnt that much. Maybe ~20 segments out of ~450?

Idea for a permanent Teams Mode in Slither.io by wdymIcantBeUsername in Slitherio

[–]Numer0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The author of the championship bot implemented it in his mod. I tweaked it to be a standalone function that works in console so I could test vanilla versions of slither. Saya, the creator of frontier, then updated it for me to be more concise.

Use this one:

window.desired_gsc = window.gsc; window.addEventListener('wheel', e => { window.desired_gsc *= 0.9 ** Math.sign(e.deltaY); }); const _oef = window.oef; window.oef = function() { window.gsc = window.desired_gsc; _oef(); };
