Allowing Gathering While on pet

02/05/2011 21:32 razer951#1
Does anyone know how to do this? I know its possible because I have seen it first hand but I never figured it out. Some feedback would be much appreciated.

JMP some functions?

Sounds like it could work but which dll to look thru.

Most likely pleione

Sounds right but Pleione is one of the few encrypted dlls I believe

It used to be possible as standard, so, a function has obviously been added.

I recall when sheep came out, I was running away from people trying to shear me, when I was playing on my pet.

That was back during G2/3? In case you want to try and work it out via comparing dll versions.

I'd imagine that it's just a check to see if you're playing as the pet, in some sharing rule, that you can prolly jmp.

What are the chances that I could find a old dll like that? Also what is the best way to test a simple switch to a jmp? Would I just be changing lines that would posibly be it one at a time and copying them to an executable because i'm sure there are hundreds of lines.

Only the function calls :)

Where indeed.

You may as well go look for, for instance, a message related to allowing/disallowing sharing, and then poke around.

I mean, it's sharing related, so...

Also, ffs I uploaded an unmodified EU pleione. Ours is unencrypted.
Use that as your starting point.

Ok thanks

Why would you want this anyway?

Pet's don't gain mana from the tunnels =/
02/06/2011 22:46 razer951#12
But pets gain mana from music when you are on the pet.

Not on EU.

I guess you can enjoy that coming update?
02/07/2011 23:46 razer951#14
Or maybe you have yet to receive an update

To be honest, pets not receiving mana from the tunnels is a sensible business move, thus, I put to you that this is likely something they have chosen to do.

Why would anyone buy those mana boostery things, if you could simply have 18 minutes of virtually completely unlimited mana?

Before you reply, saying how wrong I am, I'd advise you to think about this:
When you are on a pet, you are a character, yes?
Then, why do all other characters gain mana from the tunnels?
If this was a logic failure of the server/client, then, you'd likely find that other races don't gain mana, or that no character does, or even that some pets DO gain mana.

Thus, the server/client is/are actively working to keep that character from gaining mana.

I'd open up that EU pleione if I were you, and see if you can find out if the client has any input in regards to that, such as some kind of IsPetCharacter function, I'd doubt it, but Nexon makes stupid mistakes all the time.

Of course, that was all speculation, but, last I checked, Nexon was in this to make money from us, and game mechanics were their tools in doing so.

Nao stones anyone?
