Title: A bug in the making...pics inside!
Post by: Ecolem on December 30, 2004, 10:57:38 am: Always wondered what \'really\' happens when your client crashes?
See bellow...
Pic 1: I was using the \'flying bug\' (yes naughty me :P ) and got this great view :D. I used the GrabCaptureScreen program to take around 4 pics every sec, so I could get allot of pics while still playing:). (yes I know...it?s a jpg :( )

Pic 2: When I close it to check on the pic...I caught this! 8)
I don?t know what it means but it looks a diff language to me ?( . BTW u can tell it is from the client by the curser ;).

If this is a bug that you can trigger (which what I\'ve understood, you can\'t), that\'s not allowed

2. Just mirror the label (maybe rotate it 180 too) and you will see what it says

Try leaving the sewers from the alternate exit (the one near the tavern) ... I have never cheated in an online game, especially in Planshift and I have been able to trigger that writing quite regularly... it happens to me when I use the ladder (in the alternate exit) and then all of a sudden I fall through the floor, and it either crashes or makes me die. I\'ll attach a screenie...

Post by: ThomPhoenix on December 30, 2004, 11:55:00 am: I mirrored the screenshot and rotated it.
It says now:
Thicey Poras
Ikbent Bokkus

What does that mean?

Post by: Kaneda on December 30, 2004, 12:38:31 pm: those are playernames

Post by: Lordbug on December 30, 2004, 01:06:33 pm: Yes I made that too, I got a pic with the exact same thing, when I exit the town by \"unoficial\" means, just to walk arround in the frozen river and to remember the old days of MB... anyway here it is:

Using the bugs of the game is cheating?! I didn\'t know!
Then there\'s a bug to be solved (or not, you decide), go to this thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=12246&boardid=13&styleid=3) and check the bug in my last post

Post by: Xalthar on December 30, 2004, 01:56:12 pm: The correct term would be \"Exploiting\" which is considered cheating in games.

Post by: Lordbug on December 30, 2004, 08:41:19 pm: I always had this Philosophy: \"If it\'s there it\'s to use\" :D
But obviousely it doesn\'t suit here...
Title: "Exploit"? NO.
Post by: vrogy on December 30, 2004, 09:41:56 pm: It looks like he/she was just getting a good view, not exploiting the game.. What\'s wrong with that?

Post by: Lordbug on December 30, 2004, 10:04:11 pm: *thinks in the good pics he took

I think exiting town/get to the top of the temple by \"unoficial\" ways wasn\'t cheating... but only because it was a \"small\" harmless \"cheat\", didn\'t hurt anyone or nothing like it...
What we did in MB was cheating, but everyone did that, climb walls by using a bug (that the devs didn\'t fix, \'coz the thought it was a lot more fun that way, I think), climbed to the top of the temple by using the same bug and another stuff...

Anyway, what I\'m trying to say is: it could be worse, like getting skills by \"magic\" or getting trias by casting the freezing spell (that happened to a friend of mine in another game, of course the currency wasn\'t trias)

Post by: Kramy on December 31, 2004, 12:49:28 am: I get reversed playernames all the time(2-4 times per login, atleast). I just assumed the I was looking at the back of the label or something. :P

Post by: fken on December 31, 2004, 04:26:58 am: three thread for an only bug... maybe more... I won\'t say the same thing I ever said...
Title:
Post by: Lordbug on December 31, 2004, 04:45:35 pm: ppl just don\'t check the every threads (or at least the 1st 2 pages) before making another...
Title:
Post by: LordWolf on December 31, 2004, 04:50:32 pm: lord bug got a point there making a thread for a bug that got already some threads is not that you can say useable
Title:
Post by: Lordbug on January 10, 2005, 10:46:32 pm: I do read the first two pages of threads, when I can\'t see a place where the thing I want to post would fit I make another thread... everyone should make like this or better (I\'m not the model poster and I\'ll never be) but I\'ve seen some threads with the almost the same name... well let\'s just not think in that...
