WWM Code Scroll

Redeem Where Winds Meet codes without leaving the game. A small HUD sits at the bottom of the screen showing the code Ctrl+V will paste; every paste loads the next one, so it’s just Ctrl+V → redeem → Ctrl+V → redeem.

Codes are fetched fresh from codes.yar.gg (its /api/codes feed) every time it starts.

Get it

Download the latest release, unzip it anywhere, and double-click WWM-Redeem.exe.

No install, and no .NET or other runtime needed: everything is packed inside the exe (about 72 MB), so you can copy it to any folder or PC running Windows 10 or 11 and run it from there. It is a 64-bit build, which is part of what the size is for; on an ARM machine Windows runs it under emulation.

The first launch is slower than every launch after it. A single-file build unpacks itself into a temp folder before it starts, and that happens once per version.

Two prompts on the way in, both expected:

• “Windows protected your PC” — the exe is not code-signed, and a certificate costs real money for a free tool. Click More info, then Run anyway. The same two facts — unsigned, and a large file that unpacks itself — are why an antivirus scanner occasionally takes an interest.
• The administrator prompt — this one is not optional, and there is a reason for it further down: the game runs elevated, and Windows hides an admin window’s key presses from programs that are not.

Codes come from codes.yar.gg, which is somebody else’s site. If it goes down or changes its feed, this stops finding new codes until it is updated.

Before you use it

Where Winds Meet prohibits third-party tools in its user agreement, and the wording is categorical: it covers tools as a class, not only tools that gain an advantage. Enforcement has included permanent account bans.

Nothing here touches gameplay. This reads the keyboard, writes the clipboard, and never sends input to the game — you press Ctrl+V yourself, into a redemption box, in a menu. There is no advantage to take and no leaderboard within reach of it.

It does install a global keyboard hook and run as administrator, and from outside the process that is indistinguishable from a macro tool. Being harmless is not a thing a detection system can see.

The risk looks low. It is not zero, and it is your account, so the call should be yours rather than anyone else’s. If you would rather not take it, the code list is public — open codes.yar.gg and copy them across by hand.

Run

Everything is controlled from the HUD. Clicking it never takes focus from the game.

• ✕: exit the app
• 🔇 / 🔊: sound, off by default. When on, it beeps on Ctrl+→ / Ctrl+← and after the last code.
• ⋯, or right-click anywhere on the HUD, opens a row with:
  • Refresh codes: fetch again
  • Mark all as pasted: if you’ve already redeemed everything on the list
  • Forget pasted codes: start the whole list over
  • Open folder

The tray icon (jade ticket; on Windows 11 it may be under the ^ arrow by the clock) is a backup: double-click it or right-click › Show / hide HUD to bring back a hidden HUD, or Exit. If nothing responds at all, close it from Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc › WWM-Redeem › End task).

Keys

These only work while the game is the front window, and the game still gets the keys too.

How it behaves

• Starts with a fetch. If the site can’t be reached it uses the last list it saved and says so in the HUD.
• Remembers what you’ve pasted. Codes you paste are written to wwm-used.txt next to the exe and skipped on later runs, so each run starts at the codes that are new since last time.
• Why admin: the game (wwm.exe) runs as administrator, and Windows hides an admin window’s key presses from non-admin programs.
• The HUD shows over the game in borderless or windowed mode. Exclusive fullscreen hides every overlay; the keys still work there, and turning sound on (🔊) adds beeps so you can tell a skip landed.
• The HUD never takes focus: clicking its buttons leaves the game focused. Clicks on the HUD go to its buttons, not the game underneath, so press Ctrl+↓ to hide it when it’s in the way. The app only watches the keyboard (a low-level keyboard hook) and sets the clipboard; it never sends input to the game.
• Files it writes next to the exe: wwm-codes-cache.json (last fetched list), wwm-used.txt (pasted codes), wwm-redeem.log (errors only), wwm-settings.json (the sound setting).

Options: WWM-Redeem.exe --process <name> listens to a different game process name (default wwm).

Build

Needs the .NET 10 SDK (only to build, not to run).

.\build.ps1              # -> dist\WWM-Redeem.exe
.\build.ps1 -AsInvoker   # -> dist-test\, a copy without the admin prompt, for testing

Close the running exe first (✕ on the HUD); Windows locks it while it runs.

The icon is drawn in src\WwmRedeem\Assets\AppIcon.xaml. After changing it, run tools\make-icon.ps1 to regenerate app.ico.

For a quick visual check, WWM-Redeem.exe --snapshot hud.png fetches the codes, saves an image of the HUD, and exits without hooking the keyboard.
