HLL Seeder is an advanced, customizable seeding script for Hell Let Loose that automates the process of joining and seeding servers to help them reach playable population levels.
Created by: Rupertz CtrlAlt-Defeat
Key Features
- System Tray Interface - Easy control without opening the console. Enable/disable, pause/resume, and manage the seeder from your system tray.
- Coordinate Recording System - Customize all click positions for your screen resolution. Built-in tool records 13 different click positions automatically.
- Server List Management - Load servers from remote URL or configure priority servers. Automatically reloads server list when resumed or after crashes.
- Priority Server Monitoring - Monitors your priority servers and automatically switches when they hit 50 population. Jumps back if population drops.
- Perpetual Seeding Mode - After seeding your priority servers, automatically searches for other community servers that need seeding (8-50 pop, no password, real servers). Help the entire HLL community!
- Smart Server Detection - Detects when a server is dying (population drops by half) or when you're kicked/idle, and automatically moves on.
- Crash Detection & Recovery - Automatically detects game crashes and restarts with a 20-second countdown. Reloads server list and reinitializes display.
- Multiple Seeding Methods - Configure to run until a specific time, for a set number of minutes, or until done with your server list.
How It Works
The script uses:
- Valve A2S Protocol - Queries game servers for real-time player count and player names
- Valve Master Server Query Protocol - Searches for all current Hell Let Loose servers matching your criteria
- UI Automation - Uses pyautogui to click buttons in menus (server browser, team selection, deployment) - necessary for the seeding process
- Steam Protocol - Uses
steam:// protocol to launch the game and connect to servers
What It Does NOT Do
Important: The script does NOT provide any gameplay advantage:
- ❌ Does NOT interact with gameplay mechanics (shooting, movement, etc.)
- ❌ Does NOT modify game files or memory
- ❌ Does NOT provide any form of gameplay advantage
- ✅ Only automates joining servers and selecting teams/roles/spawns
- ✅ Once in-game, you can still manually play, build garrisons, etc.
Installation
- Download the ZIP file from the list above
- Unblock the ZIP file (Windows may block downloaded files):
- Right-click the downloaded ZIP file
- Select "Properties"
- At the bottom, check the "Unblock" checkbox (if present)
- Click "OK"
- Note: If you don't see an "Unblock" checkbox, the file is already unblocked and you can proceed
- Extract the ZIP file to a location of your choice
- Run
install.bat (no Administrator rights required)
- Look for the HLL Seeder icon in your system tray (notification area)
- Right-click the tray icon to access the menu and configure settings
First Time Setup: When you run the program for the first time, it will automatically prompt you to record coordinates for your screen resolution. This is necessary for the seeder to interact with the game UI correctly. After the initial setup, you can manually access the coordinate recording tool anytime by right-clicking the tray icon → "Set Coordinates".
Important: If you skip the unblock step, Windows may prevent the installation scripts from running properly. Always unblock the ZIP file before extracting!
