Enhancement Stat "Hack" + Tutorial on editing DB.
Do you want to craft awesome weapons?

Perhaps you want a sword like this:


Well you can! With just 20 easy payments of $5999.99!

I'm just joking, you can get it for free. Oh and the effect is client sided - AKA: pointless. But I'm not sure if a level 2 can one-shot gnolls, so maybe it actually works? who knows.

The only reason I call it a "Hack" is because it's just fun.

Anyway, editing the database will only yield in client things, so if you replace the .hfs with the original, I believe stats will also go back to original... if anything at all is handled by the server, you cannot modify it. You may, however, be able to trigger some interesting responses.

FOR EXAMPLE:
Giving the server a negative amount of gold, so you get y2k'd into positive, aka 2.14billion gold.

But enough about speculating, let's get on to how to do this:

Go get this nifty tool by Fovea to sign the .hfs file.
Go get VZipFlip from any trusted source.
Go get this addon or any database manager that can view sqlite files.

Got those? Okay, I'll need you to find:
Code:
286FE9924483F382029EF68BA6C260B3C2563BF9.hfs
VZipFlip that, you'll get heroes.db3.comp. Unzip, then remove the .comp extension, and open it up using a DB Viewer. I'll be showing images for the add-on. Make sure to preserve the .zip file.

Steps:
1. Open up firefox, then Press Alt+T, or go to the Tools section on the headbar, find SQLite Manager, find your database and open it up.
2. Since for this specific release/tutorial, we're focusing on the table EnhanceStatInfo.
3.
4. To change a value, double click the box. Modify the value, yadayadayada.
5. Modify stuff you want...
6. You're done with the modification part. Now close everything up, and add the .comp extension back to the file.
7. Replace the heroes.db3.comp file inside the .zip with the modified one. Simply drag and drop would suffice.
8. Rehfs the .zip.
9. Hfssign the .hfs.

If you don't know how to Unzip a .hfs:
Code:
@EcHo off
VZipFlip a
pause
Save as anything.bat by pasting that into notepad. Opening this will unzip all .hfs files in the folder to a .zip. You will find the file in the same folder.

If you don't know how to rehfs a .zip:
Code:
@EcHo off
VZipFlip h hfsname.zip
pause
Save as rehfs.bat. Doing this, and you'll find the .hfs in your C: drive or main drive.

If you don't know how to sign a .hfs:
Code:
@EcHo off
hfssign hfsname.hfs
pause
Save as hfssign.bat. Doing this, and you'll get Vindictus to launch again after modifying key files.

Put them all into the same folder as the .zip, .hfs, VZipFlip.exe, and hfssign.exe otherwise you'll get errors.

And you're done.

o___o have fun exploring, 'cause I sure as heck don't have the time to. Curse you AP exams!

Afaik, yep. I mean, client sided literally just means client sided. If you look at the character box, those display actual stats. :P

Shame really.

Enhance chance is server sided, there's no way to "no fail" as of right now.
Maybe if we could change the attributes of an enhance stone so that it tells the server to never fail, but I don't know if it's possible. (I've been gone, gotta catch up!)
Noob question here, but I keep getting a "path is denied" error and it won't let me rehfs anything, anyone know why?

Same error, I've run both the batch and zipflip as admin.
Edit: I found the problem. Thank you for the help, even though it wasn't the problem.

UAV doesn't need to be turned off, I've never run into a problem with it.
I've even activated non-digitally signed drivers (VAC) on Windows 7 without touching it.
The problem was me being an idiot and not realizing that it worked the FIRST time, so the directory was "full".

The problem now is that the hfs has 0 bytes, time for more troubleshooting.

The first Tut. on using Zipflip was unclear and kind of confusing... Can you make one or point me to a better Tut.? ~Thanks
