Possible Dupe method

[fr0st2k]

New here .. but discovered a few mothods while playing yesterday and had to share it and discuss with people who know what theyre talking about

Im running in windows mode by the way

1st ) I was rushing someone and needed TPs, so i started buying them, really quickly.

Apparently if you buy then very quickly you can freeze your diablo. If you just spam clicks you can get it to freeze after buying 2 tps. Though, normaly to get a good rythm you need to go up to at about 4-10

Anyway, i noticed that when i reentered the game i didnt have as man TPs as i bought. I tested, retested and retested and can do this every single time. I have counted how many tps ive bought and the number i have after i reenter the game is ALWAYS less than the number i actually bought..

2nd) I can get a connectoin interrupted if you hold the window bar on the top of the diablo window (... you know what i mean ? the thing with the [ - ] [ X ]) for about 1 minute. Then when you release, itll give you a connection interrupted message and bring you back to the character select screeen.

--------------------------

now im not entirely sure if any of this is useful .. but i figured id post the info and see if you guys could think of any way to use this.

For example .. I attempted to sell an item to ormus. I would drag the item to the tps... get ready to click super fast... then sell the item and spam mouse to buy tps .. getting the disconnect. If i could get it fast enough to where i lose the tps .. i could possible keep the item i sold, and player b could buy it back.

it didnt work when i attempted it .. but maybe a clicking program .. even autoit could possible do it faster.

Will be looking forward to seeing what you guys post.

i been thinking why the "your connection is interrupted" screen comes up, it's appearing to me more often than usual today. was doing ubertrist then all a sudden this happens, was glad the game didn't end i could rejoin, but happened again when i was smiting baal. same thing repeated 3 times but i was able to finish the trist overall, was a crappy necro torch..

anyway i think the server is getting laggier by day, dont know why.

iim begining to drop more and mnore also. intruiging.

[fr0st2k]

i was doing this on E/sc/l

also running 32bit Vista .. maybe the outdated drivers is a key?

i dont know if anyone has duplicated it .. but i mean, you really have to buy the tps fast ... not the books, just the scrolls. i also found that having a fresh scroll books makes it easier to do .

the possibility of packet loss from this is acctually quite possible....when you sell an item and buy a Tps you only send 1 packet.

However for the selling of an item you receive 5 packets:
0x47: Realator1
0x48: Realator2
0x42: ClearCursor
0x2a: TransactionComplete
0x1d(or 1e): GoldAdjustment

The Buying of a TPS receives 6 packets:
0x22: UpdateTPs
0x2a: TransactionComplete
0x9c: WorldItemAction(scroll to container)
0x47: Realator1
0x48: Realator2
0x1d(or 1e):GoldAdjustment

that is alot of packets for just a one click action.
now to put it on a rapid setting....and that is a very large ammount of packets....a.k.a. easy packet loss. This should really be looked into a little bit more. Update me some more if you could xsv_dearman.
