[request/question] - prod mats mods

12/06/2009 22:41 emperorneo#1
ok, I have done some very (noob) experimenting with client-side modding. I found that if you mod the itemdb.xml to, say, make cheap fabric -> fine fabric, the form accepts it and you can click start. At this point however, I must assume that the server decides you don't actually have fine fabric and it just hangs.

So, would it be possible thru packet editing to make the server think you actually used fine fabric? or any other production material you chose? Tho I suspect if it was possible, we'd all be r1 blacksmiths by now.

You're completely right. It won't work =P

At least not for cheap -> finest or whatever. I wish.

Which is very useful, if...say... You had a 100% weaving mod.

Does it work for refine too? =O If so, I'll have some very happy friends (granted, I'm rank 1 refine already, so it won't help me any).

So I can get failed refining attempts by modding itemdb to use, say, gold coins as iron ore? SWEET! :D

This does not seem to work. I can change the item such that the production box allows it to be used, and get the game to hang as OP described, but it does NOT count as a failed attempt. Is there a way to make it do so, or was this exploit simply patched out?
