oh I realised that theres no sound, but in backgroud there was Now or Never by Squid Sisters instead of Squid Squad

Server-Side night time is allowed for this month. https://forum.pretendo.network/t/trial-for-cosmetic-mods-in-splatoon/23851/4

[vernal tapir]

huh? why?

[candid trellis]

Well that's interesting

[minor lotus]

Its a trial. mostly to allow certain cosmetics in the future

"Until the 1st of November, we will allow use of the following in all gamemodes:

Weapon icon and other icon changes
Rank changes
Turf level and point changes
Night mode (server-side)
Octoling/Rival Unpatch (already allowed)"

"The following remains banned:

Ink colour changes (server-side)
Any other server-sided mods not listed here"

of course if you have a client-side ink color change you SHOULD be fine...?

just be sure to not become host though.

[vernal tapir]

if its client and it doesnt touch server? Why not? Now lets see how fast exploiters gonna destroy game servers

[minor lotus]

same colors on both sides can basically mess up the entire server

[vernal tapir]

but they are client sided

[minor lotus]

for the last part. i have my doubts. server-side night time isn't that harming.

[minor lotus]

they are not.

[vernal tapir]

visibility harming

[vernal tapir]

mine? Yes? Wanna check by yourself?

[minor lotus]

well disable your custom colors in that case.

you can probably give feedback to the thread though.

[vernal tapir]

Wasnt problem when it was day

[vernal tapir]

yeah ikr

[minor lotus]

i understand. but custom colors can act weirdly with night time enabled

i see your concern though

[vernal tapir]

My custom ink color is by modifying Colour lock

[minor lotus]

i heard that one still can affect people if you're host...?

let me ask @neat nimbus

[vernal tapir]

host when its private lobby? Or host because of first player in lobby is being host?

[minor lotus]

when the first player of the room is host

[candid trellis]

First player is the host

[vernal tapir]

Oh cool, good to know that im hosting the game

[minor lotus]

so let me clarify. server-side night time won't apply to people unless you're the one hosting the game with it

[vernal tapir]

Wait, so its how splatoon code is made?

[minor lotus]

it works similarly to server-sided colors

[vernal tapir]

That probably explains why some games can be laggy....

[neat nimbus]

Custom color with color lock affected no other players in the lobby when you host

[minor lotus]

ah good to know.

thank you.

[neat nimbus]

Np

[minor lotus]

yeah if that is the case. i don't think server-side night time should be a problem for you unless you use certain custom colors

[vernal tapir]

Interesting...

Im curious one more thing then

[neat nimbus]

There are two different gfx packs, one for color lock and the other for public rounds

[vernal tapir]

Yeah ikr

I have checked up one file that may cause game breaking

And as I always said... Splatoon game code is bad because its easy to game break

[vernal tapir]

What If Ill modify every weapon to rapid fire and Ill be host? Everyone will have rapid fire then?

[neat nimbus]

No, each player has their own bullet parameters. This is controlled by your own parameters

[vernal tapir]

Oh, so how does the ink color works then?

everyone connected to game takes ink color from host?

[neat nimbus]

Everyone has the same gfx color packs but the host decides/rng randomizer which gfx pack is chosen

[neat nimbus]

Yes

[vernal tapir]

Damn...

How also map change exploit works?

[neat nimbus]

With code: The host decides everything, including which map is used. If the map that is to be used "next" is spoofed, that map is then selected

Without code: The host uses an RNG randomizer to determine the map ID in the BOSS files. If you change the ID, the map that is next would also be loaded

[vernal tapir]

damn

Okay, that's interesting

Also any ideas how to fix 118-0502 error? Because I cant play with my friend at all

When he tries to join any battle he always gets 118-0502

[vernal tapir]

or he gets to empty lobby and it looks like that anyone cant join him

[neat nimbus]

Have you tried it in private battle yet?

[vernal tapir]

hold on...

oh yeah.. it works

and only it

btw he uses Inkay method and mobile hotspot

(yes he has better internet on mobile hotspot than his regular 💀 )

[neat nimbus]

Then it is the NAT type of the host/your friend, if the NAT type is too bad/too slow, it is difficult to connect

[vernal tapir]

oh, any fixes for that than getting better internet?

[neat nimbus]
