[WARNING!] Modding Multiplayer Stats

[Lord Maximus]

This post is meant for all modders/modteams releasing mods.

Stowelly (A CA employee) noticed that at least one mod contained changes in parts of the game stats meant for multiplayer.
The multiplayer code contains anti cheat checks that will get triggered when a player enters multiplayer with adjusted multiplayer stats. This in turn will trigger an irreversible "Avatar" reset.

If you want your mods to be compatible with MP and don't want to get chased by pitchfork armed angry mobs (who lost their MP progress by using your mod)

DO NOT TOUCH ANY MULTIPLAYER RELATED TABLES AND/OR COLUMNS IN THE DB FILES.

for more info check this topic.

Pass this info to all your fellow modders.

maybe a mod could sticky this? (or the topic posted here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...31#post9511431)

Thanks for the heads-up!

I did always wonder what would happen if we touched those.

That seems excessive! A simple cant connect would do the same, if some one is gonna cheat in this game is not going to do it by tempering the stats.

Why wouldn't they cheat by tempering the stats?
