Describe the hack in 5 words or less:
Save player+inventory to LocalStorage

Have you made sure this hack isn't available yet?* (Yes/No)
Yes

Being able to save the player's state and inventory would allow users to undo hacks, and restore their account to it's initial state. It's also relatively easy to implement.

var playerStates = [];

then save with

saveState = (state) => {
  playerStates.push(state);
}

input into saveState's state param is _.player.data

ik this is pretty basic, i don't have access to my laptop RN tho so I cant do much

the idea is to load/save into and from localStorage.

We'd also need to get some things outside of _.player.data, but it shouldn't be too hard.

I'll try doing this over the weekend, haha

Hmm ok-

localStorage.setItem(JSON.Stringify(playerState))

unfortunately, the only things that are saved globally are things under _.player, everything else doesn't work. Also, JSON.stringify isn't necessary, since a lot of the game data is circular. Just do

localStorage.state = _

then when we load in the hacked gamemin, do something like

_ = localStorage.state

Just a thought.

Arc, that's horrible... you should use localStorage.setItem

Look,

localStorage.setItem('owo','uwu')

is 33 chars long,

localStorage.owo = 'uwu'

is 24.

May I ask

  if(typeof state == "object") {
      playerStateHistory.push(state);
      localStorage.setItem('playerStateHistory', JSON.stringify(state));
  } else {
    throw new TypeError(`Invalid state data. Expected object, got ${typeof state}.`);
  }
}

We'll need to add something to prevent Prodigy from screwing it up and wiping the player, of course.

Also, this should totally be a part of [#318] in my opinion (or is it there and I didn't realize it?), because this will be another WCM thing.

dont wanna be technical but do

Expected object, got ${typeof state}.

Instead of

Expected object, got ${state}.

lmao

K, so, there might be stuff we don't want to save (temporary values or something), I'll look into that soon.

Another thing:

We'll either have to save this in the extension or add some kind of verification hash (explained how to do that in DMs with Arc) to prevent Prodigy from tampering with local storage, 'cause they can easily add some JS to overwrite the value.

I promise I'll try doing it today.
While we wait, a list of what to save would be nice.

• Player data
• player backpack
• player name
• kennel
• quest progression
