Hacking for fun and profit

Ok, this is going to be the first in a series of posts about the "no clipping" hack, also known as "flymode"... an awesome tool for those of us who like to take things apart to see how they work. Obviously, this is a very OOC topic, so if you want to maintain the illusion that Uru is real... go read the Age-Linker's Guide to your right.

One of the most interesting things I found with flymode is this...

A giant pink arrow on the tallest stalagmite in Ae'gura. I haven't the slightest clue what it's for, but... pretty cool, nonetheless.

Another interesting part of the cavern is the Great Shaft, which is publicly closed to explorers. However, playing the solo game with flymode, I snapped a shot of this:

Which is the very bottom of the Great Shaft. Nothing really unusual about it, except for the amazing amount of work that went into something that the average player will only see for a split second. The floor is modled, it's not just one simple texture... even the pillars have D'ni script written on them.

More later, I also have some interesting shots from the Ae'gura "Spy Room"...
