Quest Flags go away on recovery

When I run an offline recovery, mudrev quest flags using Ability 200 or higher seem to be removed from characters. Is there any way to prevent this?

it's one of the cracks in the dll that needs to be made
edit: actually, to the wccmmutl.exe file

Do you know what to look for to crack this?
I would love to raise the numbers myself.

I do. I have a crack for what says to be for "v1.11o and v1.11p-beta13" but the v1.11p-final has a different CRC. Also tested the crack on the v1.11o and v1.11p-beta13 wccmmutl.exe files and while it says it patched it, it also says it failed the crc check. So I'm trying to verify it all for v1.11p final.

So I just verified it. There is a file called " MajorMUD_v1.11o-v1.11p-b13_AbilityStripCrack.exe "
You run it and it says --
Code: Select all
MajorMUD v1.11o & v1.11p-beta13
*Offline Ability Strip Fix"
this will patch wccmmutl.exe to stop it from stripping abilities > 190.
this hack will only work on the v1.11o and v1.11p-beta13 wccmmutl.exe file. it will appear to apply correctly to other versions but not work.
(v1.11p-beta13 was the latest wccmmutl.exe at the time of this patch creation)
I just verified that it also works on the v1.11p final wccmmutl.exe.
It changes...
Code: Select all
CODE:00403C9E cmp [ebp+ebx*2+var_C2], 0BEh
to...
Code: Select all
CODE:00403C9E cmp [ebp+ebx*2+var_C2], 7FFFh
0BEh => 190
7FFFh => 32767
Hex editor offset 3CA6
@offset 3C9E through 3CA7

I'm not finding that file in google, so I will have to bust out the hex editor and give it a whirl. Thanks, I wish I knew this a year ago, much better then trying to shove all my quest flags into lower numbers.

I'm not saying it's clean, but most programs that edit a file the way this does is considered a virus by the more "robust" antivirus software. I would google the the message your antivirus thinks it is.
