Egg Cavity Travel Viewer Tip for New Creatures *Updated for Egg Cavity's Absence*

Updated Method | May 8, 2024

Since Egg Cavity is no longer working, here is a workaround to preview travels on a creature.


1. Visit the WayBack Machine Internet Archive and type "eggcavity.com" into the "Enter a URL" text box.
  https://web.archive.org/


2. Hover over any highlighted date, such as March 6th, and click the linked numbers, such as 04:00:03. The highlighted dates indicate that a "snapshot" of the website was saved on that day.


3. Hover over "Creature Viewer" and click "Easy Viewer". (You are now viewing an archived version of Egg Cavity.)


4. Right click in the negative space (white area) of the webpage and select "View Page Source" or "View Source" (Crtl+U on Windows; Option+Cmd+U on Mac).


5. Copy all of the code (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C on Windows; Cmd+A and Cmd+C on Mac). This selects all and copies.


6. Paste the code into any text editor with a "Find and Replace All" option (Ctrl+V on Windows; Cmd+V Mac). You are replacing the default creature image of the Aal with whatever creature you'd like to find a travel for.
  Find: aal
  Replace All With: Whatever creature you'd like to view!

  Example
  Find: aal
  Replace All With: cynorth

You can use this online text replacement tool: textcleaner.net/find-and-replace


7. *You may not need to complete this step, test your code before and jump to step 8* After you've replaced the default Aal creature name to what you'd like (I am using the new creature Cynorth as an example), scroll in the text box and find a "double" URL that looks something like this (it should have your desired creature's name at the end):

https://web.archive.org/web/20240105073347im_/https://static.eggcave.com/90by90/cynorth_1.png

Copy this "double" URL and paste it into the Find area of your text program.
Paste it in the Replace area, as well, but delete the first URL.

 Find: https://web.archive.org/web/20240105073347im_/https://static.eggcave.com/90by90/cynorth_1.png
 Replace With: https://static.eggcave.com/90by90/cynorth_1.png


8. Paste the code into a real-time HTML editor like this one: htmledit.squarefree.com
Drag the bar in the middle of the screen to the top of the screen and it now appears as though you're on Egg Cavity!


I know it's quite a few steps, but I hope it's useful for you.

Previous Method

When newly released creatures haven't been added to Egg Cavity yet, I have a method that allows me to still utilize their "Easy Viewer" to choose a travel for them. I've been doing this for a while and figured I would share. 😊

Here are the steps:


1. Travels: eggcavity.com/creature-viewer/easy-viewer
  Trinket Travels: eggcavity.com/creature-viewer/easy-viewer-trinkets

2. Right click in the negative space of the webpage and select "View Page Source" or "View Source" (Crtl+U on Windows; Option+Cmd+U on Mac).

3. Copy all of the code (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C on Windows; Cmd+A and Cmd+C on Mac). This selects all and copies.

4. Paste the code into any text editor with a "Find and Replace All" option (Ctrl+V on Windows; Cmd+V Mac). You are replacing the default creature image of the Aal with whatever creature you'd like to find a travel for.
  Find: aal
  Replace All With: Whatever creature you'd like to view!

For example, I replaced "aal" with "messen" to view the new creature, the Messen, on all the travels.

5. Paste the code into a real-time HTML editor like this one: htmledit.squarefree.com
  Drag the bar in the middle of the screen to the top of the screen and it now appears as though you're on Egg Cavity!


I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions. ^^
