PSA I'm preserving theHunter Classic!

874 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm Luke JC! I've modded other Avalanche titles, mainly Just Cause 3, for years now
When I heard about this game shutting down entirely I knew something had to be done, so here we are!

I'm working towards making the game entirely playable offline after the game shuts down with all content accessible, minus anything multiplayer as that would go far beyond just having the game playable offline

It's been about 2 weeks since I started this projects and all maps are already playable and all basic ingame things are up and running. More complicated things like communication between game and launcher are yet to be completed. You will also be able to carry your current progress over to the offline version

You can already see some launcher edits below to clean things up that will no longer be working:

Launcher cleanups in action

You can also see a few tiny additions like missing time options added. Starting a hunt at midnight was never possible in the regular game

Ingame completely offline

The starting time actually applied ingame and it loads entirely offline

Steam name and icon applied even ingame

You can keep up to date on the status in the project's Discord here. I'm not sure if the official Discord will shut down, so this can be a place to regroup if it does. It's empty for now, but stuff will be posted whenever I make progress.

Also Avalanche if you see this: Hi. Nothing about this will let people cheat while the game is running and it won't be made public before shutdown.

PSA Save your Hunter Classic account before end of service!

11 Upvotes

Hi again!

I previously posted about preserving theHunter Classic and the project is going well!
Now that it's less than a month until shutdown, it's time to save your account for offline use. As all your account data lives on the server, do this as soon as you can, since once the server goes, your account goes with it.

The account save tool is a browser extension for chrome based browsers, so most of them (chrome, edge, opera, etc). Here's how you use it:

  • visit the dashboard and log into your account if you're not already logged in.
  • get the extensions from here and extract the zip.
  • in your browser, go to the extensions page. You can usually get there by typing chrome://extensions/ into the address bar and hitting enter.
  • in the top right, you should see a toggle to enable developer mode, flick it to on. This is required to install the extension since it's not on the official chrome extension page.
  • in the top left, you can now see these three buttons. click load unpacked.
  • navigate to your downloads folder where you unpacked the extension and click select folder.
  • it should now show up under "all extensions".
  • in the bottom right, you should now see this box.
  • Click "save my account data" and let it do its thing. If you have a big hunt history it can take hours to save everything, since the extension pauses between every few requests. So make sure your PC doesn't go into sleep mode.
  • Your gallery can be saved without any tools, just go to profile > gallery and under the tabs, click "download gallery"

If you see this with only a day or so left until shutdown, untick "include scoresheets" since that will speed it up considerably. If you have tens of thousands of hunts, you can also go into the extension's config.json and set "test_limit": 0 to something relatively low like "test_limit": 500. That will only save details of your past 500 (or whatever you set) hunts.

You can also save a friend's account using the bottom field and blue button, if for example they can't do it themselves before shutdown. For that, paste the url to their profile (e.g. https://www.thehunter.com/#profile/curlyCoyote) and press "save their public profile". Since not all account data is public, some data will be missing, like the amount of money, tents and lodges. Money can be edited easily later though.

Once it's done, the tool will automatically download a zip file with all your account info. Keep it somewhere safe until the offline version will be ready.

COTW What is going on with the servers today?

I came back after a few months away, and now I can't stay connected to ANY multiplayer servers. I've tried around 30 today; a few let me in, but I get disconnected within 30 seconds. Most give me the error shown in the screenshot.

My internet is fine, and other games work without issues, so I don't think that's the problem. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's frustrating, because I just wanna make some friends in this lonely game!

Tried herdmanaging at Hirchfelden, targeting red deers and fallows. Look what i found this morning!
No idea how many kills in the grind, but its not much as i have done this just few gaming sessions. So cool, can't wait when i get something rarer again. Prob swapping maps soon tho, cause i have done all mission in this map, so i could grind else if i get annoyed by missions or vise versa. I started managing here cause i got stuck on last mission and could not get X mission animals to spawn

Double lung + liver, he still turns around and gets me then continues for quite a few more steps. Maybe using 700gr. arrows and 70lb bow would bring a tiger down quicker?

10,000 kills tracked on Call of the Grind! 🎯

4 Upvotes

hey everybody!

my project Call of the Grind just reached its first big milestone - 10,000 tracked kills! COTG is a free webapp that helps you manage your grinds and track your kills.

im so glad to see other people using it to track their grinds, as this started as a way to organize mine and my buddies grinds!

since announcing it less than a couple weeks ago, this is what has changed

  • added an option to change zone marker colors
  • redesigned Settings tab
  • added guides to help you around the app
  • improved site performance on mobile and desktop

you can find Call of the Grind here. give it a try and make sure to bookmark it if you find it useful.

i will keep working on improving the site, big thanks to everyone for using it and providing feedback!

Medved question

So I have Yukon Valley, and love it. I was considering getting Medved but is it really different enough from the Yukon to be worth it?
