VotePipe

HytaleLobby Integration

Connect HytaleLobby to VotePipe using the Votifier protocol. Votes are received over TCP and processed through the same pipeline as webhook votes.

Protocol

HytaleLobby sends votes using the Votifier protocol over raw TCP. VotePipe supports both Votifier V1 (RSA-encrypted) and V2 (HMAC-signed with challenge tokens).

PropertyValue
ProtocolVotifier V1 (RSA 2048-bit) & V2 (HMAC-SHA256)
TransportRaw TCP
Default Port8192
Key ManagementAuto-generated by VotePipe, rotatable from dashboard

Connection Details

When you create a HytaleLobby provider in VotePipe, the following credentials are auto-generated:

FieldDescription
HostThe VotePipe Votifier server address
PortTCP port (default: 8192)
Public KeyRSA 2048-bit public key (PEM format, for V1)
TokenHMAC token (for V2 protocol)

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Create Provider in VotePipe

  1. Go to Add Provider and select HytaleLobby
  2. VotePipe will auto-generate your RSA keypair and HMAC token
  3. Copy the Host, Port, and Public Key shown in the provider details

Step 2: Configure HytaleLobby

  1. Go to https://www.hytalelobby.com/dashboard
  2. Click Edit Server on your server.
  3. Scroll down to the Votifier Settings section.
  4. Enable Votifier.
  5. Fill in the Address (Host), Port (default: 8192), and Public Key fields using the values from your VotePipe provider.
  6. Click Save to apply the settings.

Step 3: Verify

  1. Cast a test vote on HytaleLobby for your server
  2. Check the VotePipe dashboard to confirm the vote was received
  3. Votes will now flow: HytaleLobby → Votifier TCP → VotePipe → Discord + Callbacks + Plugin

Key Rotation

You can rotate your RSA keys and HMAC token at any time from the VotePipe dashboard (Providers → your HytaleLobby provider → Rotate Keys). After rotating, update the public key on HytaleLobby.

Troubleshooting

Votes not arriving

  • Verify the host and port match exactly what VotePipe shows
  • Ensure the public key was copied completely (including BEGIN/END markers)
  • Check that port 8192 is accessible (not blocked by firewall)
  • Ensure the provider is enabled in VotePipe

Decryption or signature errors

  • The public key on HytaleLobby must match the one shown in VotePipe
  • If keys were rotated, update the public key on HytaleLobby
  • Try rotating keys in VotePipe and re-configuring HytaleLobby
