[September 3, 2023]Abyss Patcher

[Live African]

Was the AhnReport program alwasy installed into the nexon HShield folder?




It tells nexon EVERYTHING about your computer.. and even edits the Dlls in a folder you look in..




I think its kind of scary.. but can this be one of the ways nexon figures out how to patch our mods?

Yes, it's been there. But the information does not get send to Nexon, it gets sent to the company: AhnLabs.
Don't forget that Ahnlabs also hosts an AntiVirus program that is commonly used in Korea

Why would you go through that kind of trouble ._.

Instructions to remove Abyss completely are provided in the ini, not to mention posted in my opening post.

Because its good to have a backup client... Most people have more than excess space to keep a clean copy of a client. People might have other mods besides abyss, and there could be a situation where another mod might leave something behind. By having a backup client you can ensure you'll always be able to play, regardless of whether or not your mods are currently working. And also so you don't have to go through the trouble of completely deleting everything and cleaning the client yourself, you can just switch to the clean one.

Or you could experiment every time you download and learn your mods.  I have no reason to back up my entire mabi client, cuz i know what i download or make changes to my mods personally.

I could keep over a thousand back up clients, yet I have none.

It's totally pointless to have, since the 4 gigs are pack files, movies, and other data that you never actually edit..
Unless you use the pack file editor, and I doubt anyone does these days.

Removing my mods:
Deleted ijl15.dll
renamed ijl15.dat
deleted dinput8.dll

Done. I left my data folder, my abyss.ini, everything else.

And I have a lot more besides abyss/CS.


Seriously, I get being lazy and not wanting to write your own patcher, but being too lazy to learn how to install/remove the patcher? This is just going too far.

Blade, next patcher, put in a system that asks questions.
Either algebraic problems, basic questions about modding, something that forces them to read the first post, or a mixture of all three.

"Water is to life as Crackshield is to... ?"

I'd even lend server time to such a project, if you want to pull questions and answers from a remote source.

You do that and I'll JMP that freaking function

Just put the option in the ini.

LIKE THEY READ crap, STEP.


Also, the popup would be at launch. It's too late after they get IN game! >:0

[「★Ｓ２９★シ」]

Just put the option in the ini.

Oh, I'm OK with this
But then people will complain more.
and Once people figures out how to turn it off, then all that server resources becomes useless.


There's no point, the only logical way to do this is to take a assessment test before you're able to download abyss.
Much like how Applying online in Jobs works [Tho, I really hate that crap sometimes]

But it will CONTINUE to be their fault; If they had read it in the first place, they would have no problems.

Or, it could be disabled for people who prove they're not stupid?
Like a reverse pake ban.


Tests. Genius.


WE NEED TO MAKE AN ENTIRE CURRICULUM.

I don't see why not.

I don't see why not.

Playtime shall be the teacher, and he will be super underpaid, massively unappreciated, and fired whenever anything goes wrong.

JUST LIKE REAL TEACHERS.

Edit:
The thing I miss most, is not having to type my secondary password. Everytime mods break, I roll my eyes at that password screen.

[Chocobubba]

I'm not sure if this is something Abyss fixed/can fix, but from what I can tell the latest update blocks dyelite. While mabi is running, it blocks the screen color detection and the magnifier, but the moment you close mabi, it starts working again.

[Fl0rn]

then someone does a typo on the answer and gets locked out, genius.

Urrrrgh, AutoIT? D:

You're just making me miss the convenience of abyss' features even more!


Which is clearly your plan, you evil genius! >:0

They should have checked their answer more carefully then.

[shanachan]

Hope there is a fix to Crackshield soon TwT

Compiled version and source are included in the attachment.

Not like you have to download AutoIt to use it ._.

Ah.. Alright thanks haha.

[Plonecakes]

Such a quiz is unnecessary. Not helping these people would be just as effective, without annoying those who are proper users.

[hikari1690]

But but what about the noobs like me who aren't geniuses like you but actually take the time to try and read the whole post before using a mod?
P.s. I still want a  fishing minigame bypass XD

That's considered game breaking. Also, I tend to not reply to people who post who obviously didn't read. If people actually show they tried and they searched for an answer, I'll do what I can. I think that goes for most users here.

It's just that you have to run the script every login. Super inconvenient compared to abyss.

YOU SPOILED ME, OKAY.

Hmm we can make a batch file to open mabi and run the script for you...
Even better we can change the script and make it open mabi, enter your login and run blades's script!

I still dont get whats considered breaking and not... since that landing height removal seems pretty game breaking too >.> but hey I can still hope right? XD

...Really..? Landing height..?

Gamebreaking: Massive advantage that makes something pointless for legitimate players.

In this instance, fishing is made into instant success, compared to the convenience of being able to land without having to fly down to 15m, which, you will be doing ANYWAY, during the landing process.
Being able to land from a greater height doesn't confer advantages that ruin the game for other people, 100% fishing does.


Please, feel free to explain how landing could even be considered gamebreaking.

Well by landing from higher than 15 m and cancelling during the animation can cause one to pass through some barriers normally not passable(renes for example) though you usually get nothing from it... Also if you're that nitpicky, in a race being able to start landing from a higher height can cause you to land further quicker by the same trick, now if this race was an event isnt that an advantage?
Fishing thingie is just a mind thingie that I can never get to work! Sides not like you can get anything other than filling up your fishing journal with 5star stuff with fishing -_- (you cant get more than 3stars with auto fishing, which aint bad but is kinda meh feeling) Not sure how that ruins the experience for other players more than not having to manually go down to 15m to land... but meh, mabilogic, can never understand it.
P.s. isnt this kinda off topic btw -_-
