romovs wrote:Map data is saved based on the url it was fetched from. This is cross client. So for example, Amber uses "https://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/" (see run.bat/sh). So all the map tiles will be available from another client only if it uses https. If the client uses http then you will see diffident tiles.

I haven't looked at this in a while, so there might be some other nuances, but as long as the clients use the same "httpS" or "http" they should see the same map.

Bottom line, Amber, currently uses "https". Not sure whether the default or Ender use "http" or "https"

As far as I know. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Ender uses http, but that can be changed to https with java -U option.
Default/Vanilla client also uses http. But ... that can't be changed, as it is not supporting the java -U option.

So if one was using Amber with https ... There is no easy (or know to me) way to get that map data to show in the default client.

And, on top of that, there is a little bit more to it to get the default client to show Amber/Ender map data[1]. Which I have not figured out conclusively[2]
1) If all clients are/where using the http.
2) Probably not going to either, as Default client is no good for playing HnH.

Ideally loftar should push out an update to make the cache not differ because of protocol.

I'm going to have to call you out on this... Let's not spread falsehoods. The current iteration is perfectly usable, and for mining, preferable to Amber due to the issue with the mining support radius toggle constantly bugging up. I'll agree that the customizations in the various clients help take the game up to the next level, but they aren't necessary for new players (compare to legacy where you just had to have one to have a reasonable experience IMO.)
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
