the guide hear ... http://forum.ragezone.com/f316/guide-how-to-put-remaing-chance-of-polishing-stone-away-287924/ shows how to change country
and all this dose is make the server not show any (maxprotect XX) on the weapon in game ,
but when you reach and passed the max protect number for the item, it disapiers

it dose not delete it just turns invisible,

if you wear the item after passing the maxprotect level
then when you relog you can see the item in the login screen but not in game

[Guide]
after changing country, i tryed removing the (maxprotect XX) from all items in the itemlist
but this did not get rid of the bug , items still went invisible after passing the maxprotect level
----
open your Database Server.exe with a hexeditor and search for
"UPDATE Item SET [Protect] = %d WHERE [IID] =%d b"
and null out the command to the "b"
like hear....
ronjambo - [Tutorial] How to fix the Polishing Stone bug - RaGEZONE Forums


then the bug is fixed

initialy when you polish your item it updates Protect and Info ,
the info is what tells it if it is polished or not and
the protect is just for the maxprotect +1
nulling out the command will make it not update the protect +1 when you polish the item ,anymore

if you have alredy got invisible items you will need to reset all numbers in "kal_db" "item" "Protect" back to "0" also

Re: How to fix the Polishing Stone bug

or change (maxprotect x) in inititem to a high number...
i tryed that also, it dose not work on all items i think there is a max limit on the maxprotect
and people would still polish there items over the maxprotect limit ,
in hope for an extra +1 on there weapon / armor

Re: How to fix the Polishing Stone bug

You can just change the database desgin to fix this bug :)
Ty for this other fix tho :)

For more info.. get a weapon then enter the database an change the protect to 300 then relog an you are bugged any items you get after this point will disapear after relog! =D
Now im not 100% sure but the way I fixed this was to edit the design of the item table by changing the protect to tinyint then restart the server login an all your items will reapear :)
Like I said this is just the way I fixed things not sure if it makes things worse or not but it works :)
