Lost name tag...

Postby CantrFreak » Sat May 02, 2009 4:50 pm

I accidentally deleted the name of an unnamed location. And because I didn't type anything in, I can't click on anything to change the name back... :/

1. Go to any name changing page.
2. Go one page back.
3. CTRL+A random link, so it opens another tab
4. Go back to the name changing page with the -> button (or whatever)
5. On the other tab, go to the character which is in the location where you messed up
6. Go back to the first tab, change the name and save

Not tested, but according to the way cantr works, this should work.


Edit: tested and works

Maybe you could view source of the page and get the link address from there?

Yes, you could also view the source, then search with CTRL+F for "day <spawndayhereplz> in" and you should find it.

It's kinda serious if your suggested fix works. Surely that could be abused somehow.

There's a topic in the ProgD section about it, although I haven't noticed any changes and am not sure if the topic is still active.

That's why there's been all kinds of checks put in. Notice how you get booted to the character page at times? That's because of one of those checks went wrong. You can no longer cheat by teleporting materials or create them from thin air for example.
You don't have that bit of code then, it's not in the CVS repository?
