A bug in the making...pics inside!
« 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 ;).

 
Pic 3: Just for evaluation purposes I got this as well.. :))


Any comments welcome about \'how\' I got on the lannex temple :rolleyes: (actually, it?s really simple)

1. You HAVE read the cheating papers right?
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...

I mirrored the screenshot and rotated it.
It says now:
Thicey Poras
Ikbent Bokkus

What does that mean?

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 and check the bug in my last post

The correct term would be \"Exploiting\" which is considered cheating in games.

It looks like he/she was just getting a good view, not exploiting the game..  What\'s wrong with that?

*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)

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
