Automated Discord Game Progress

With Post Game Progress on, the game posts your character's major events, such as levels gained, achievements unlocked, and the cause of death, to the #player-log channel on the GnollHack Discord. Share Your Progress to Discord Server Channel has the setup steps.

Posting Top Scores and Scoreboards

When your game ends:

• If you have registered a GnollHack Account and turned on Post Top Scores under Server Posting Settings, the game sends your score and final stats to the GnollHack Account server.
• The server makes the results public, so the NetHack Scoreboard and Junethack pick up and display your games automatically.
• On the account website, you and other players can look at recent games, overall win rates, and the full HTML dumplogs.

ℹ️ Note: External scoreboards track a game properly only if server posting was enabled from its start.

Bones Sharing

When your character dies in Classic mode, the body, inventory, and ghost can be uploaded to the server as a "bones file". Other players may then download it and meet your ghost in their own games.

Uploading needs a GnollHack Account and Share Bones Files turned on under Server Posting Settings. Bones Sharing explains how ghost levels work.

In-Game Snapshots

A snapshot is a detailed log of the game you are playing: your inventory, attributes, status effects, conducted actions, and the recent message log. You can take one at any time, and it shares your game state without recording a full replay.

• To take one, use the extended command #snapshot or press Take Snapshot in the Game Menu.
• To view your snapshots, go to Vault on the main screen and tap Snapshots. Tapping a snapshot opens its HTML dumplog.
• To share one, tap Share at the bottom of the snapshot viewer. Your device's sharing sheet opens, and you can send the file to Discord, Reddit, email, or another app.

Replays

You can record your games and share the replays, or download and watch other players' runs. To record, turn on Record Game under Replay Settings in Settings.

You can share a replay through cloud storage or as a ZIP file.

Cloud storage

To share:

• Set up a custom Cloud Storage connection and turn on Auto-Upload to Cloud in Settings, and replays upload automatically.
• Or go to Vault → Replays, select a local replay, and tap Upload.

To watch:

• Go to Vault → Replays and pick Cloud in the folder picker.
• Select the replay you want and tap Download.
• Switch the folder picker back to Downloaded and play the run from there.

ZIP file

To share:

• Go to Vault → Replays.
• Select the local replay and tap Share. The game packs it into a .zip archive and opens your device's sharing sheet.

To watch:

• Download the shared .zip file to your device.
• On the main screen, go to About → Manage Files and tap Import Replays.
• Select the .zip file. The game extracts and validates the replay.
• Back on the main screen, open Vault → Replays and select the imported replay.

⚠️ Warning: Replay files should generally match your current game version. Older replays may not play correctly on newer versions.

📷 Taking Screenshots

You can also take a screenshot yourself, for example with Win+Shift+S on Windows or your mobile device's usual buttons, and post it in the #playing-gnollhack, #snapshots, or #memes-and-pics channel of the GnollHack Discord server. Two settings help:

• Hide Message History under System Settings in Settings temporarily hides the message box, so more of the map and UI shows.
• Status bar settings such as Show Score and Show XP let you choose how much information the screenshot shows.

If you are asking for help, make sure the inventory or stats that matter to your question are visible.
