Miscellaneous: Intended Graphics Bug

Rhambuk · #1 05-01-2013, 10:44 AM

First post just to explain I will add posts as I find evidence.

In live, as im sure people will attest to, there was a graphics bug. Theres nothing to exploit here its simply how your character appears nothing more. Nilbog approves of implementing this bug if we can prove its existence and he can find a way to make it happen.

How it Works: Put on the gear you want your appearance to show, example I played a dwarf rog and I want to look like a robed iksar, so i remove my stat gear chest normally woven shadow and replace it with a robe that dwarf rogues can wear. Now as a dwarf it shows up as a naked chest with the tint color of the robe.
Activate non player character illusion, elemental skeleton wolf etc,
Put the stat gear you want to wear on
remove the npc illusion and you should look like you did before the illusion, id be a dwarf wearing a woven shadow bp but id show naked chest with tint color.
Activate iksar/de/erudite illusion
I should appear as that race in a robe, even though if you inspected I would be wearing a woven shadow chest.

If you remember this please post saying you remember it and that it worked this way. also if you have any sort of evidence ie old posts/screenshots etc or whatever please post them here as well.

Axian's post about 6-7 down. Granted its 2006, I will find an earlier date but this at least proves it was in live eq.

I tested this out on EZ server, it works over there. Not sure what they did to get that, but kudos to them.

Here's a 2005 also. Still on the case! Its hard to find this stuff haha

I vaguely remember this but I think there are far more important things that need to be worked on

Gaffin Deeppockets · #5 05-01-2013, 10:16 PM

And there is far more things posted in the bug section. But incase you haven't noticed nilbog said to put it here and he will look at it. Thanks 4 concern though.

You got it to work on EZ gaffin? hmm now ill have to try it on p99 it might have been "accidentally" fixxed at some point.

Rhambuk · #7 05-02-2013, 09:14 AM

Just tried it on p99 no go. Equipped blighted helm for leather graphic, lich, put on plat tiara and clicked off illusion no helm.

It works for weapons here though.

Was just trying to hammer. I cast werewolf, swapped in RoA, clicked off werewolf. So then I actually had RoA equipped and was hitting the mob for 100+ with it, but my character APPEARED to be wielding the OT hammer (and swinging it with the 1-handed animation to boot, instead of the 2-handed animation the OT hammer really has).

So odd [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

posted in another thread regarding this issue but yes for as long as i can remember on live you could swap in every visible slot of gear you wanted to show, illusion wolf/werewolf/elemental/etc and then put on your normal gear, click off the illusion and you kept that graphic until you zoned.

its not the most important thing to fix obviously, but (maybe im biased since i can illusion) I do miss it a lot

if you guys can remember ever seeing a post from wayback let me know and point me in the direction.

its weird that it works with weapons here i couldnt get it to do weapons on live but then again all my non pc illusions could hold weapons, skele elemental, I had no werewolf but thats awesome that that works here!
