While searching for different mod and other programs for the Mabinogi, I have read few posting about hacking Mabinogi.
Mainly about the "God Mode"
Here's my thought... oh and btw, i don't have any programing background so I might just babbling here... BUT while reading some of the post I had this (maybe) crazy idea why they couldn't hack the Mabinogi (yet).
First, hacking = bad (that's like given) I won't ever try it even if I had any background in programing or any other skills to do it.
I read post where they were trying to find the "Fixed variables," such as HP, MP, STAT. Many of you (yeah right, ALL of you) who play Mabinogi may have come across or heard of "IJL Patch" or "Advance Play Package" (not the one you buy w/ cash). In the option, it has the option of showing the stat of player to the thousandth. For example, if your character's STR is 18, it will show it as 18000. It was first made in Korea, of course, to find out exactly how much the stat increases in level up by the age. It wasn't and still isn't really a hacking program.
Now, the reason I say this is for this...
I believe there aren't any "Fixed Variables" in Mabinogi.
What if your STATS, HP, MP is keep changing? Can a hacker find a "Fixed Variable"?
I'm not saying when your STR increses from 18 to 19. In Mabinogi, many of the numbers in the stats increases in fraction. For example, when your character is 10 years old, and level up from 1 to 2, his LUCK stat will increase 0.75. (if you use above program I mention, it will show in the screen as 10750 for luck) And from level 2 to 3, at same age, it will increase 0.75 again to total of 1.5, but when you actually look at the stat, it shows no change from 1 to 2, but increase of 1 LUCK when level up from 2 to 3 (again, it will show up as 11500, if you use the prog).
As you probably know, in Erinn, 15 sec. of real time is 10 min., 1 min. and 30 sec. is 1 hour, and 36 min. is one day. If I may, I'll do little more math.
36 min : 1 day = 10080 min : X day
Which means in one week in real time equals 280 days.
What if, during those 280 days of Erinn time your stat is constantly increasing? It won't be, of course, increase in thousandth values, but may be in the millionth or even billionth valuses are constantly changing? And as you all know, every Saturday 12:00 PM pacific standard time, character ages. What if, these valuses resets and starts over? It won't ever disrupt the game system because they are only using the numbers that are bigger than 0.
I know I'm using lots of "what if's" and that's because I don't know programming.
And I was kinda afraid to post this kind of questions, thoughts, or whatever you want to call it on those kind of places incase I'm right.
So! I'm going to end my post here and toss the subject into the air and see where it ends up.
PS. if this isn't appropriate subject for this forum to even discuss, I apologises in advance and will erase this post quick.
