ok.. i was gona be looking into a way to somehow alter droprates and items droped. solike if u were to get a lvl 79 armor instead of it being just a 79 armor, it would be like +9 and be a noble every time with 4 socs in it. i have seen a few sections in the .pak folder for which this might be posseble but im not 100% sure about any of it.. right now its mostly hype that wants me to figure this all out =) any ideas on this... dose anyoen know if the drop rates are server or client side??

money and exp is server, guessing drops are too since u cant make a argate drop everytime too

actually i have altered that =p from a 10% drop rate my argates are now a 80% droprate. im trying to make it like a common bag so then every other kil i get an argate of eather collor. but this i may or may not release to the public i am not sure if i would like to do this or not.

im guessing u just change the drop rates for the 3 argates, and no not wise to post for the public.

if that works then u just raise the high drop rate and u should get better drops then.

ive never messed around with drops so dunno if im missing something out.

im not saying what i altered or anything.

pm me then, and we'll give it a try, but i still dont think ull ever get a + drop cause they just dont exist.

ahh i think i know what ur thinking, gonna give it a try, erm dunno how long its gonna take to get a certain drop tho.

honestly i dont think this guy knows what he is talking about. he is just proposing the itea. If it was possible to change the drop rates im sure it would ahve been done alread or someone whould have heard about it before BMR.

Please tell me what map has a 10% drop rate ill just go their cause thats extreamly high. You obviously didnt check the actually % so you obviously havent changed anything yet.

And you may be able to change the numbers using winhex or something, but the changes wont be effective in the game.

im a scripter, i can make a bunch of hacks for FPS games, when i found out how to use WinHex correctly i can find just about anything and yes there is a % on drop rates, u just haft to know where the codes for drops are and everything, and yes the item drops with +'s havent come out yet it will be in a later on update, but the code has already been implamented, its jsut that people dont know where it is =p

and also i am not releacing the argate code due to the fact everyone will want it. and yes it works for my friend, me and him have it. all you haft to do is know how to work a script, its simple when u know what dose what =)

lol I know where it is but server-sided. :)

Lol. All items are server-sided. The %s only show up in the data.pak, because the developers are weird and probably only put it there for info reference.
