STALCRAFT: X News

We're excited to announce the release of the beta version of the Stalcraft API! Using this API, independent developers can access features such as:

• OAuth for secure authentication.
• Extensive item database.
• Access to information about clans.
• Access to in-game auction system.
• And a lot more.

In other words, APIs provide independent developers and content creators with the ability to retrieve certain game information without launching the game directly.

Currently available data is only the beggining, and we will be updating the API in the future based on your feedback.



You can start exploring API possibilities from Documentation page. It provides detailed information and examples to help you get started. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or comments, either in comments under this post, or via our Issue Tracker.



Access to the API is granted on a request basis. However, we want to assure you that the requirements for getting access are not strict. We understand that many developers are just starting out and may not have a lot of experience. We are mostly trying to prevent potentially malicious use cases, so don't hesitate to request access.

We look forward to seeing the creative ways developers will utilize the API to enhance the game experience for players.

[h2]Bans for replacing game files[/h2]



Despite playing with files replaced, it took some time for the offenders to get banned - this led to a flurry of questions and righteous indignation. With this background, we decided to clarify some of the details about how our banning system works.

Blocking for changing game files has been practiced for a long time. File replacements cannot be done unnoticed by the system, it always detects any, even the slightest changes.

[h2]Then why is there such a delay before a punishment is issued[/h2]



Delay in the issuance of punishments for the use of prohibited software can be up to 2 days, this is done to make it harder for cheat makers to find the cause of the detection. All in-game bans issued by our anticheat are issued according to a certain algorithm.

File replacement also works according to this algorithm

[h2]Will the system change?[/h2]



Yes, we understand that the offender can get on the nerves of other players before they are punished, so we will work to reduce the delay before blocking offenders.

Also with today's maintenance work, access to file modification has become more difficult.

To date, penalties are issued only on the character regardless of the offense and its severity. It has been decided to extend the penalties for the usage of prohibited software and some other violations to the entire account. Whether it's an account in Steam or in our own launcher

And finally we want to dispel a myth - there are no 3-day bans ;)

AntiCheat bans for 1 week for the first detection and permanently for the second. Permanent blocking is issued immediately in case of manual detection of prohibited software.

Thank you for your active response and we apologize for all the inconveniences.

We added two session modes focused on practicing your own PvP skills and on having fun without wasting any nerves or consumables.

[h2]Duels[/h2]



The first mode allows you to create 1-on-1 or Squad-to-Squad duels, either through the "Sessional Battles" section in the pause menu or directly on the safe zone through the interaction menu with another player.

The creator of the match chooses the conditions and the size of the bet in rubles (you can also chose without it). You can play with your own equipment, as well as with the premade presets.

[h2]Standoff[/h2]



This is a classic sessional battle in the format of capturing the points, where players are automatically assigned to different teams. Unlike duels, here you get the opportunity to earn points for a reward container. At the same time, consumables are issued upon revival, so you can play without cost!

In this mode, the distribution system is disabled, so you can meet opponents with much stronger equipment. Otherwise we wouldn't have enough online to start battles. Also, you need at least the second level of the Bar to participate.

Happy holidays!
EXBO team.
