Tailor UI Hack Report

czarcasticczarcastic Member Posts: 7 Arc User
edited January 2015 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I had come across this a few times, and I was told that there was a secret way to hack the Tailor UI files in the game so that you can make a Caitian look like a anime fantasy cat-girl.
Like the last tailor bug we should get this fixed so the game doesn't become a soft core TRIBBLE.
Oh I took a screen shot as well, in case you were wondering what it looked like. ;)

    So you TRIBBLE the game files (they need to ban you for that) and are complaining (isn't this client side, so only you see that ??)

    Actually no, I didn't hack the game. If you look at that screen shot and think that is me and I'm reporting myself, then your not as smart as you think you are. As that is obviously me taking it of someone else. Surely your joking, as a veteran of the game you'd think you'd know the various camera perspectives and what it looks like when you bring up someone's info tab. Seriously if you looked at that screenshot and thought that it was of me and that I was reporting myself then your not exactly the sharpest tack in the box. Sorry but that was pretty ignorant of you, perhaps you need to look at the screenshot again and quit trolling people. You give a warning about not understanding English "Not a native English-speaker, sorry if my English sucks" you don't understand more than English that's for sure. :D

    Oh it's quite real. Why would I make that up? Your easily impressed if you think I am that good or even know photoshop for that matter. I've got other screenshots. I've come across it before. I asked them about it and they said they couldn't tell me about it or show me how cause someone made them promise not to. They said it was a UI Tailor trick and that it was a secret.

    Not exactly sure if its the same person but I ve seen a FED Character with Orion Bikini and other stuff that should be restricted. So it is still possible to glitch the Character Editor.

    Yeah it's funny. I personally don't care, but the guy I asked on ESD about it, was rather slightly trollish and condescending when I asked em. He also mentioned that it was a secret and the guy who told em would tell me to go 'do' something with myself. So I figured if it's some huge secret I'd just tell it on the forums since he was mean about it and the screenie is of the guy. :p

    I didnt mean that. What i meant is, it looks like that guy just edited the texture maps and he painted over the originals. Or something like that. When you add the caitian mouth hair add ons, they are a 3d object, not a paint over the texture, if you know what i mean.

    From what I understand, there used to be a bug that allowed you to create combinations that normally aren't possible. The bug was fixed, but they didn't change existing characters who had disallowed combinations. So the character that you saw may be from that time.

    Another person in zone chat was talking about it. Had come across it specifically said that after the the old tailor bug was fixed because it had gotten around. They made the point to tell me that is why they were wanting to keep it a secret. If I can't do something why should mean spirited trolls be able to. :P

    I remember you could do this type of stuff with the old one, but how do you know it's UI stuff? I mean people have been known to have saved all those old costumes and bring them out every then and now. This could just as well be one of them from that time. You had all sorts of costimizable parts at the time.

    I have been reporting everyone I see doing this, we need more to report them also for anything to be done about it. I also see people using the Honor Guard cape with no shirt and just underwear, KDF using mirror tops, caitian tails on non-caitians, mix and matched Maco and Omega armor, and more. I think after the old bug was fixed some of these people found a workaround or new bug somehow.

    If you want to find offenders to report check out Drozana they are usually there.

    Based on old info involving Champions Online (because it had something of the sort, too (but keep in mind that everything below is hearsay from me, as I have not used the STO mod at all, and frankly this is the first time I've ever heard that STO had such a thing)):

    This 'mod' (which the Cryptic Engine completely allows, despite yes, violating the game's ToS), does NOT allow you to wear anything you don't own. So you need to actually buy/earn all the outfits (Zen or Lobi or whatever) in order to use them.

    What it should do is 'loosen up' the restrictions of what the system considers a legal costume. Uniform with Off-Duty pieces? Check. Any tail on any race? Check. Tattoos that are race restricted, now usable on everyone? Check. Body parts (like Borg stuff) on any race? Check. Any hair on any race? Check. Basically it allows every normally available option in every field. You can't wear 3 different scarves for example, but you can wear one no matter which Upper Body type you currently have on (and no matter the clipping it would cause)

    Using C-Store pieces you don't own? The server validation will stop you from using the costume. Lobi or stuff like the MACO/OMEGA stuff? Same. You might be able to display it in the costume editor, but since you don't own it, you can't save the costume with it on.

    What makes this 'mod' so problematic is that unlike texture replacements (which yes, is also possible), everybody on the server can see your modifications (texture mods are clientside only). This is why Cryptic doesn't allow this and WILL go after people using it (and YES, they WILL ban accounts over this).

    So if anyone here is using such a mod...yeah, it's time to go back into hiding and only wear your 'illegal' costumes in private locations.

    Yes, yes... Oldish thread. Whatever...

    Anyway, why would it matter exactly. STO horribly bastardises so many parts of the Star Trek setting at such a fundamental level, who even cares about a cat-tail on a human?

    The mess created simply by allowing everyone to captain a starship, AND forcing a standard MMO economy into a setting where it makes almost no sense did more damage than a few minor cosmetic issues ever could...

    Some people have messed up prioritied it seems...

    Yes! I encourage cheating, hacking, and sawing off busybody types arms, legs, heads, etc. I can't stand 'em. Real cops are bad enough. we don't need any fake a$$ forum/game police AT ALL, evarrr.

    These types deserve to be mutilated in various ways that causes others to shun them. Like having to put raw meat in their pockets so that dogs with then play with them.

    Well I recently saw some kind of hack where someone could immediately switch his whole costume, even size and stuff like that, making him flash that my eyes hurt. That's maybe a little bit much in terms of what could reasonably bother other players. But Caitians/Ferasans without fur, or tails and cat/wolf/dog/what-the-f***-ever ears on other species? Who cares indeed? There are things in STO that go a lot more against the canon.

    And actually... http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Caitian
    See that Caitian from the alternate reality? Just a tail and cat ears, otherwise she's human, and it's from the movie Into Darkness which is rather new. So to be honest this wouldn't go against the cannon at all. You can fly around in mirror ships despite there being no missions or lore-wise mentions of anything that would warrant that except for the fun of it and the simple fact they exist somewhere in the canon. Why not run around as a Humanoid without full-body fur but with tails and ears?
    Given the circumstances that'd be A LOT closer to canon than what this brilliant comment points out:
