read_light_level

Post by coltain »

Hallo

Is there a possibility to read a persons actual light level? I`ve searched packet list but have not noticed any useful.

I want to compare a light level I send with actual in UO. This is to prevent using a razor feature.

As far as I know, no.

Closest thing you can do is to save lightlevel of character every time it is send by server; but, this doesn't help you in this case, as what server tells the client to do forces nothing.

If you have a working day/night cycle you could of course add a how dark is it out there -check, with some options like "not dark at all" and so on. I wouldn't do that, but maybe someone out there likes the idea.

I also don't know packet to read the clients light level.

But even if such a packet would exist, you can't prevent Razor from setting the "always light", because it is done on your players computer. I think Razor simply blocks packet 0x4e and 0x4f and sends upon start "light on" ;)
I hate that, too. It makes a lot of items pretty useless and players can't sell these ones.

Yes, I cannot break throught razor block

But I could disconnect a player that has a different light set that I send.
