THE PRODUCERS strike again (my code dump is ded)

now they can find out id

And ... too late, suckas.

The code's out there. I got it, others got it, and what's more ... we can read it and we can talk about it. Legally.

I'd be depressed if I saw it, because I'm pretty sure there'd be 99% of the items being absolutely awesome and none of them present in the game world since 2006.

You only need a notepad (if youre patient with a decent comp to load it), or notepad++ to have an easier time reading through it.

OBjects, players, and rooms are in a database which wasn't included. All you got was one big long dump of a bunch of the code files. Normally they'd be like applieds.c or spells.c and loaded into memory at runtime. But in this codedump it's a giant file.

I guess some of you are wanting to run it like a mud somewhere. It's not going to work for that. But you could have a better mud running in an hour.

A lot of metal items were complete garbage, believe it or not.

There was a couple steel shortswords that were handed out to Templars, that came into circulation with the death of those Templars. I can't remember the name, but Lady Templar Hrm was one of them. Those looked like nice weapons, but had a brittle-like flag on them, so they had a high chance to shatter every time they were used in combat. They didn't leave broken shards behind and staff came down hard on people who emoted collecting pieces and owning them, causing some fuss.

There was a copper dagger that was part of some elf clans documentation that was stolen by a twink burglar, but I don't know what happened to it.

There's a steel katana and a suit of steel banded armor that was a part of a nipped plot a long while back, that was more or less Zalanthanfied samurai armor. It was related to the return of the Dragon from the Beyond, but the players involved died and I'm not sure what, if anything, ever happened to the plot. Nothing, I would assume.

There's various gold, silver, iron, bronze and copper items, like rings, bracelets, even silverware, that a person of sufficient influence could by from Kadius and Salarr, once upon a time.

Mithril used to exist and there was even a tomb with a mithril coffin.

You used to be able to access a door sealed with iron rivets and some players actually looted them with a staffers help, but were later massacred by staff (and a staff played Templar) due to a miscommunication. Not sure what happened to the rivets.

There was a Templar recently who was supposed to buy some bronze armor from Salarr, but as far as I know the staff killed him off before it could happen. I don't know if the items were ever made, but if so, they're no doubt buried in the staff access only parts of the Salarr estate.

Kurac had a copper plated helmet worn by a pretty great Kuraci, back when Kurac's staff were all about making Kurac the clan of clans. They used to have a semi-magickal library and there were some interesting metal magick doodads in there, too.

There was a golden skull wand with an onyx handle that was used in an undead/sewer plot a long time ago, that could be used to create undead by anyone. Junking the item would have caused it to explode and kill everything in the room. No one did, as far as I know.

There's some silver earrings and a ring that used to be worn by an NPC Templar in Tuluk, who was killed repeatedly by some elves. There was a corporal in the Arm who used to wear a set, as well as one of Kurac's social whores who had a set. They both wore them in public and got away with it.

I know some legacy items were hanging around in the database. There was an NPC who used to spawn with an iron breastplate and it had old school diku stats, which compared to the standard, made it basically a God item. You could find bronze longswords and copper shields on npcs, same thing as the breastplate, basically. All unlinked or deleted now, of course.

There was a copper longsword that ended up being looted from somewhere, then traveled from hand to hand as people killed the previous owner and instead of hiding it or selling it, ran around killing things with it. I think more people died over that sword than any one plot in the games history. Code wise, it wasn't even a good weapon, as I recall.

At one point, there was a crypt on one of the islands off the coast you could only really access with a burglar, that had jewel-encrusted gold loot and other things. I think it was Halaster who put it there, or one of the indulgent staff members, for some exclusive crew plot. It all had a coded value of a single coin and would have applied a curse or something, but I don't think it ever happened.

There is, or was, an iron? shield and some other loot, locked in a box in the red desert, that couldn't ever be accessed because of poison gas, but Drovians could go and check it out.

There's a lot of other things, like a clock with metal gears, lots of in-description metal in places no player will ever see, like some of the mansions in the Templar quarter.

Someone asked for what was basically Conan, who wanted a bronze handled greatsword and had a silly heroic backstory to justify it. The item was made, but the app was never approved. No idea.

A lot of the metal items in the game ended up in the possession of the gypsies and then the Tuluki Templars, but it was all a virtual and NPC thing. No players involved. It was just a way for objects to be taken out of the reach of players.

Some were coded to be junk props, so you would "hit" in combat while wielding your blackened steel sacrificial dagger. Talk about egg on your face.

There was a silver lockpick that worked like a skeleton key, letting you pick locks that are normally pick proof.

There was a metal helmet that granted you the full suite of psionic powers, but was cursed and couldn't be removed. There was an Oashi who wore it, who was also a sorcerer, who used to hang around in Allanaki bars with Templars like it wasn't a problem. He was killed by an elf in his estate, who was pretty much instantly staff destroyed for having killed him. Armaphreak, or something like that, was the player.

Best of all: There used to be a bone fork that was coded as a metal weapon, that functioned like a throwing dagger with astounding damage but didn't have a proper weapon type. It was for sale in Allanak for three or so years on an NPC, in unlimited number, before someone noticed.

Nothing so useful as a list, but there's lots of it in the database. I think the game is probably better off with most of it being gone, though. Some of it was pretty silly.
