Bank Bug and Hair Bug

[Aerewen]

the bank error seems like it is still unresolved as of 7.0-934. Seems a pretty important issue to have fixed imo... I'll have a quick look in the source and see if anything jumps out at me... but as im not on the dev team i honestly have no idea where to start looking... :P

For the bank bugs what I do is:
Select lowest denominator coins and "push" them into the next denominator. Keep doing this up the line. That will be the same as pushing the button.
Use gems in a bag to give to your other character.

Once you get used to it the bank bugs dont mean anything.

This is a community effort, there is no one "dev team", although those who manage PEQ keep "official" changes to fit the PEQ philosophies (can't be custom, must emulate Live server behavior, etc). But bug fixes? Anyone is welcome to jump in and give it a whack.

If you know what you're doing, don't be shy. I'm shy. Actually, no. Terrified. But I am learning more each week.

hehe what i meant by that is there are about 100 or so cpp files and even more files when u count headers... and i dont have the slightest clue where to start looking for bank functions...

i dont see anything that would appear related to a banker/banking system at the moment by file name :p

If you are a VS2005 type, load up the .sln, and CTRL-SHIFT-F to search the entire solution for key words (like bank, itemid, rules, whatever you are interested in). That's where I started finding most of what I do find. However, on occasion, I feel VS2005 is "hiding" files from me... like for the longest time, I never knew there was a rulesys.h (probably the wrong name, but for example) until FNW pointed me to it. Soon as I opened it from Windows Exploder, it shows up in VS2005.

Anyway... if you are a gcc (*NIX) guy, I hear there are tools for searching, but never figured them out (grep? dunno... been too long to remember).

Oh, and Little Johnny's Trailer Park Engineering 101 method is to simply search using Windows Exploder, the *.cpp and *.h files for key words within, and edit with Notepad. ~runs~

Hope any of this helps.

Hard to say, my friend, the concept of security on a Microsoft OS is like sticking a pinky in a dike, anyway. But the illusion of security options for windows is big business just the same.

Just between us (and everyone else who happens to read this lol) if people only knew the truth about what's under the hood of windows (especially Vista) they wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
