2 STAR SERPENT?

[Val Heimershmidt]

I am hosting a dedicated server with a list of client side mods allowed. I just came acrossed a half dead day spawned 2 star serpent that dropped over 30 scale and 24 meat.

Is someone running a mod?

I understand certain enemies can only spawn with stars through use of a mod, including serpents. So yes, someone is running a mod.

There is an exploit that can be used. If you use the dev commands to spawn items and you reverse the numbers you get 1 enemy that shows 2 stars but has the equivalent number of stars as what was typed in.

Someone probably tried to spawn in 4 level 3 (2 star) sea serpents.
(Spawn serpent 4 3) and reversed it
(Spawn serpent 3 4) and got 1 level 4 (3 star) sea serpent.

You both agree that it is impossible for a 2 star serpent to spawn in a vanilla game?

Yes, though I will admit I didn't realize there was an exploit using the console. However, if the person in question who spawned in the serpents as 2-star isn't the host, and hasn't been added as an admin to the server itself, my understanding is that they shouldn't be able to access devcommands. If that's the case, then it seems use of a client-side mod may be the culprit.

Serpents are no star enemies same as lox. Starred serpents can't exist in a vanilla game. They had to be created using an exploit or a mod.
