Server Message Resource

Message

Messages are a feature in Geometry dash where you can send messages to other players online if they have their messages open. There are two fields you can control within a message: Subject and Message

• Subject can be viewed in a list in the messages menu - without any external tools, the Subject field only supports 35 characters
• Message can be viewed only if you download the message by clicking on the view button in the messages menu - without any external tools, the Messages field only supports 200 characters

A typical message server response is structured with a key:value:key:value pairing and is then split with a |

Message Example Response

Each key is tied to a component within the client and the value sets data for the specific component.
A list of all known keys can be found in the table below

Message Structure

Note: We will use "other user" to describe the user on the other side of the message, be it the receiving end or the sending end.

Key	Name/Value	Type	Description
1	messageID	Integer	The message ID
2	accountID	Integer	The other user's account ID
3	playerID	Integer	The other user's player ID
4	title	String	The title encoded in Base64
5	messageContent	String	The message which has been Xor'd with a key of 14251 and then encoded in base64
6	userName	String	The other user's username
7	age	String	How long ago the message was sent (e.g. "2 months")
8	read	Bool	0 if the message hasn't been read, 1 if it has
9	sender	Bool	0 if the user is receiving the message, 1 if they sent it

Trivia

• The current message system has a bug in which replying to a message will fail. This is because the client does not have any checks to see if the other user has their messages open when replying so if you send a reply to a user who has their messages closed, the request will return the error code -1 resulting in it failing

• Due to an oversight, you are able to block yourself if you send yourself a message. Cvolton explains this oversight in one of his videos
