Manipulating Dom2

Nice post.
How would you like to be a Moderator? Or a Beta Tester?

There was an age poll a long time ago. A search might find it and a post would being it forward. Last I looked I was surprised to discover that I wasnt as alone at the top of the age pyramid as I thought I was.

Oh no! Bust out the Geritol and Hemmroid creme! The Old folks are invading!

I was already terrified of getting my *** whipped in MP (4 SP games and I still have no idea of some of the basics - like blessing, pillaging etc.) ... now there is a proven exploit I'd like to see a post from the devs explaining how it happened and how it's been fixed ....

The signal to noise ratio of this board has been variable. I too prefer the strategy discussions to the namecalling.

At 34 I suspect I'm in the upper quartile age-wise, but maybe not ....

It's pretty natural that most Posts nowadays fall into the "noise" Category. We've *had* all the strategy and "how does this work" discussions.

I think you may well be wrong about the ages of players here - there's room for a whole quartile between your age and mine

You cannot be serious! About the discussions having been had, I mean - there must be thousands left ....

You could be right about the age range though - this isn't a kiddies' game ....

I was at least half serious. Searching on just about any question you can name will come up with an answer. We are after all over 51,000 Posts - thats a lot of strategy and tactics

These smileys sure are ugly...

I thought that was already done. Wasnt hex editing given as the most likely answer? You want it clearer than that? What address to edit? What code to put there?

The important information is that the players turn file can be sent to Illwinter. They can decrypt the data and print the results here if they feel its worth posting.

I didn't see any devs verify that that's how it was done - and besides, the explanation of how it's been fixed is the more important point. Somebody else could do it a lot more subtly than Norfleet and get away with it.
