Title: Any way to break into locked doors on a public house?
Post by: Kalaka on January 06, 2011, 07:52:18 PM
I know there used to be like sandbagging and also ressing on the door, but neither of these seem to work for me anymore. Is there another way to break in?

I've tried editing the art files just to toggle off the impassable restrictions and such, resynching the client in funny ways while lowering my z axis, trying to make myself lag through the stuff, but to no avail. Also tried rubble stairs, but I couldn't get enough blocks and sets of stairs to really test this, although I did half check with interior staircases and it seemed to not work.. dunno.

Thanks.

You know, I'm not sure I like this thread.  Some things I can get behind, but not breaking into houses.

It's for IDOCs. Not to learn everybody's deep inner secrets.

since you were talking about IDOCs and looking for idoc scripts etc in other posts I am feeling okay about the discussion as long as the post stays in this format.  

they fixed the major bug that was leading to house looting with anyone security setting containers anyways, thank god I hated when peeps did this one.

one way is to get wandering healers to open the door.

if the rez ways with compassion and gift of life are fixed

Wandering healers will still open doors? I thought that was fixed a while ago.. Maybe not, as I haven't tried it in a long time.. Will see about some way to get them to open it.

Just keep in mind that we don't promote discussion publicly about bugs that can be used to grief other players.  There are other sites for that.  I'm assuming you were just trying to think of a way to get the house contents refreshed for an IDOC.

I agree it's not what this site is all about - but I sure like to know what tricks other people use to protect myself from them. IDOCs  are fair game!

Yeah.. for IDOC house only.. not to grief others.. although I could see how it could be used for that.

But while we're on the subject of public houses with private doors.. the houses that have vendors on the top floor but have locked doors so you just can't walk up and say vendor view are quite annoying..

Still looking for a way to get into IDOC house with locked doors, but not finding anything.

I've recently been wondering if people had a way to look into either public homes with private doors, or even private homes entirely.

Reason for this is there are a few very heavy idocers on my shard, but they only seem to be at the homes that have loads of goods in them, private or not.  Seems that when a private home falls, and there is nothing in it, they are no where to be found.. Yet when one falls that is loaded, they are there and waiting for the collapse.

I guessed that they had figured out some way to see what was in there before the house came down, just wasn't sure.

That's interesting..

I'm completely unaware of any way to see into private homes though.

I am unaware of anyway to see into private homes, but I have also viewed the same as above. Ther are few IDOCers on my shards i play also and when the house is almost nothing to fall or little no one is there but the house that are loaded with crap these 3 or 4 are always there. It is like they already know what is in the private home.

Haha. It's always possible.. They aren't allowed to create items and things like that for themselves, but looking into private homes? Who knows!

Speaking of secrets. I saw info on a rumour but can not find reference to it again, but that richard garrett had purchased an account to roam around sosaria and see how much it had changed since he left it and that he wanted to see how his gargoyle city had come to pass.

I gaurantee you that most developers have an account on UO.  Just like most of them have accounts on WoW.  They like to keep up with the competition.  Lord Brittish has had an account on UO since the beginning I'm sure.

Yea if he could buy a ticket to ride on the space shuttle to outer space or in reality our upper atmosphere he can afford 12.99 a month.

Nah man, cause you can't get through the doors anymore as a ghost if they're locked. They're marked somehow as being impassable. It let's you ATTEMPT to go through them but rubber bands you back.. Tried a lot of stuff but could never break that damn rubber band.

I really think they changed it server-side so that your character location is checked with regard to the building first before you location.  If you fail the building check, then you automatically rubberband.  It's even more evident on RunUO.  So what I'm saying that for your X,Y location, it's going to be impossible now.

You can always kill yourself and res inside the house with one of the various self res methods for public homes. (EDIT: TESTED and it doesn't work. I made multiple ad hoc attempts to bypass this with no success.)

Private homes, you previously could e-field yourself under wings of towers and bounce up.  In the past You stayed up there, then you bounced out.  Now, you can't get up there.  If you have another way to bounce up, that's worthy of discussion.

Improperly placed homes, same thing as the towers.  You also could get runes to inside keep courtyards and pop up, this also no longer works.

You need some way to bounce in and out to load the house content.  it would make it easy for you to prep your auto pickup scripts, which is what this info is good for.  Truthfully, I don't see how you can bounce your character without something that works to similar effect as fields did.

This is the conclusion I came to, after plenty of my own tests, and conferring with other people who do a lot of IDOCing.
