Where are the loading screen tips located?

[wtvr2]

I want to change them but I can't find them. I searched this forum 100 times but "tips" is such a common word. no luck.

They don't support modifying the client. And those who know how don't usually tell. I'll add this though. I support it. So before any one locks it. daoc/data/loading/tips.dat Is the file you are looking for.

Thanks, but how is my client full of uthgard tips? how did uth put them in my client?

With their closed source 'only we're allowed to do it' mod loader.

Yes when you load their mods it loads in what ever they want into your client. If you right click the tips.dat you might be able to restore it to an older version that isn't uthgard. Or you could always reinstall. They do put a log file into your client that lists every thing they modded. Its pretty cool stuff.

Or you could delete tips.dat and run the patcher. But it might patch stuff you didn't want.

Your so bitter

I could reverse (Or rather dig up the 2.4 source I've got somewhere and pull it from there.) it, but I don't care to write all the other tools it would need to work right, not bitter; just realistic

What is this now?

DAoCPortal 2.4 and below had the mod loader but was not obfuscated as the current version is, so it was much easier to just pop it open and take a look.

... and we're done.

You know very well why the source is obfuscated.

Have a nice day.
