Extracting online event sprites from save files

For ordinary sprites (base game or DLC), the image files can be found in the .teag archives, and then uploaded to the wiki. But it's trickier to do this for online event sprites. The online event code can be found in your save file, but the sprites are saved as base64-encoded text. I found a useful tool to help with this: Base64 to File. I paste the base64 code into the box and press the button, and it converts to an image file, with a preview. Then I download the image and upload it to the wiki.

Sometimes the code from the save file is not initially valid base64, presumably because of the backslashes at the end of some lines. But this can be automatically fixed by using Repair Base64 from the same website first, and then putting the output of that into the decoder. There was one time that the repair tool didn't immediately work (it interpreted it as many separate base64 codes, instead of one big code), but I was able to fix this by deleting the final newline and backslash, IIRC.

I hope this is helpful, in case anyone else ever wants to access the online events' sprites. --ScienceBall (talk) 03:58, 20 October 2021 (CEST)

Online events I don't know the details of

There are some online events where I don't know the details, or if they're still being sent out on a regular basis (or if they were a one-off). e.g. If I just saw an online event item in someone's Items Vault online. If anyone knows the details on any of these event, info would be appreciated. (I haven't asked in the Discord yet, though.)
