I was messing around with lucky finishes. The server uses a number to tell the client what type you got:

1 = Lucky Finish
2 = Big Lucky Finish
3 = Huge lucky finish

For fun, I decided to try "4":

so did it fill the map with gold piles?

Nope, its strictly the text and yellow effect (?). Actual gold is a normal item appearing packet.

Hum.. where do these messages even come from? Just searched for "lucky finish" in the local files, nothing. Are they hard-coded? oO

I'm reminded of when I went to go mod some of the on-screen white text messages like the login one and people were all "Search the client strings" and I was all "No guys it's sent from the server so I'm just editing it in RAM".

And people were all "Rydian you're dumb no it's gotta' be in the cli- oh jesus christ it is from the server."

And then there's hardcoded things, like the skill tabs. I'd like to make an archery skill tab so Darkboy can die content, but unlike most other interfaces the skill tab is handled by client code and not defined by any XMLs so the best that could be done is moving the archery skills into a different existing tab.

I'm a little confused as to why I'm being mentioned here.

Kill la Kill? What the f--... Never mind.

Err... Well they moved Music to an entirely separate skill tab... So I'm not seeing why it wouldn't be possible to make an archery tab?

@_@ I don't even know what's going on. XML is still beyond my understanding.

The real question is, wtf are melee skills doing in the combat tab? Out! Out I say! Melee has no place in the Combat tab!

I would rename it to "Rouge" tab and "Rouge" Talent with a few other skills but that is a stroy for a different thread... [FONT="Arial"]o3o[/FONT]
