RE: Update to 1.1.6 + INVENTORY SHOP MOD
Some of you have noticed that I have over two billion golds and custom equipment. Well, took your time, I even announced that I was a forum billionaire in the IRC, but nobody paid heed Icon_razz

I done it with a simple exploit. All it took for me to find the exploit was to be made aware that it existed. Right here. You'll notice that my initial reaction was a righteous warmaking one. That changed as soon as it clicked what the exploit was - which took less than half a minute after I started my search. In about two minutes I had hit the money cap (it's one of those binary -1 numbers) and had given myself stupid equipment. Oh well, that was easy.

I know there was a big fuss at the beginning, with regards to cheating by spamming and by deleting posts/threads after making them. Back then it was a system, and ifthat behaviour ceased it worked. But the exploits as they currently are seem built into the system. And it's a mod that Ryan Ashbrook wrote, not webrunner, so you can't really expect webrunner to go and wrewrite it (or Ashbrook to allow him to). This exploit kills the system. Because you could ruin it by cheating as I did, but if you just snuck in the extra thousand here or there, gave yourself a discounted item, who'd notice? If it gets fixed with an update, a reset will be needed (if we care).

As it stands, it's currently the equivalent of the space under the Avatar or custom title: just additional fields that you can put your own thing in.

Time yourself. Now that you know of the existence of the exploit, how long will it take you to work it out (even if you don't use it)?


Oh, and for curiosity's sake I recorded my current equipment prior to using the exploit.
Previously I Equipped, Not Wrote:7810 gold
