[QUESTION] Costume strings

[Basser]

I know the server communicates about costumes using 1 string.
Example: BA11,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^ ,^,^,^,^,^,^

I realize that the commas are seperators, but what are the ^'s?
Does the position relate with the 'meaning' of the value? Do they represent a certain structure?

"^" is an empty slot.

But if there is a value, does the position matter?

I haven't tested it, but I assume that it just starts at the beginning.
No empty spaces. But I'm not sure haven't tested this.

Well its for the costume parts like it:

BA10,BB01,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,^,BM01,^,^,^,^,^,BS05, ^,^,BV03,^,BX07,^,^,^,^,^,^

BA10 = Costume not a part

The client sends where the part should be placed when you equip it (position), string has 30 slots

Have fun ^_^

As you can see, you have an overall of 26 slots (^ is placeholder; equals nothing in a slot).

Yes you're right bro, but client self send the position i do this way:

int WhereToPlace = int.Parse(getBlock(5));

string[] Placment = Costume.Split(new char[] { ',' });
Placment[WhereToPlace] = Code;

We shouldn't assume the client is playing by the rules

Client reads out from items.bin ;P

The problem is that the player can cheat; edit item.bin or use a hacked/custom client.

True. I created an ItemInformation Class, splitting ItemCode into Enums.

There exists 'CRC' check (MD5 + WIN32) at startup & login server

And those values are just as easily "faked"
