Switching calf-type when harvesting dairy

Switching calf-type when harvesting dairy

Last Updated on Sunday, 17 April 2011 21:37

 

You can get with this method: A calf-link to post for your friends. Important: Everybody gets only one calf every 24h in FV. So try this 24h or later after you got your last calf. You will get another calf. There is no method to do this with foals or nursery foal/horse, because the link for stable and nursery is unlike the one of the dairies generated instantly.

Exception: foal_falabella is the only foal that also works with this glitch. For calf-codes see the code page here.

If you want to post several calfs a day you got to have either a) more than one account with a dairy (the links can be picked up by non-friends also) or b) use the lonely animal links converter (for method see below).

Steps

1. Start Charles, turn breakpoints on, harvest your dairy
2. Execute the upcoming request
3. Edit the response: open the data-folder (see screenshot), if you got a calf, change its code
4. Execute response, turn off breakpoints, go back to your farm and share the link that pops up.

Steps in Screenshot:

The calf you get can be posted for your friends only. If you want to have one yourself let a dummy account produce this one and pick it up.

How to copy and spread links to non-friends

Rightclick the picture when the calf popups ingame, copy the link (not the link to the picture, but the other one) and save it to a textfile. Then cancel the posting. Or publish your post visible for you only and copy the link afterwards with rightclick on the "accept"-button on your wall. You also might to zip your link to make it shorter and easier to post with tinyurl.

Tipps and Troubleshooting:

• There are 11 calfs on every link. The link can be clicked by everybody, it does not have to be a friend or neighbour of the producing account.
• If you got no calf, but only see "success" or the link to fertilizer bags in the data-folder check if there is a) a bull in your dairy and b) it's the right time, that is if you didn't breed a calf in the last 24hs. Then try again. You should get a calf on 2nd or 3rd try at least, so it's good to have at least 3 dairies for breeding.
• This method will not work on a) chicken coop, b) nursery or c) stable because these are functioning different than dairies, their reward-link is created instantly. You can change the picture of the posting (eg show another foal or egg), even get a temporary item in your giftbox, but it will not stick nor will your friends be able to adopt the changed animal/egg.

Modified calf-switching: Changing lonely animal links to calfs or other lonely animals

You can get with this method: A calf-link or random lonely animal link to post for your friends.

Since the calf-links are of the same type as the lonely animal links you can as well change a lonely animal link to a calf or another lonely animal. How to do this without using Charles and already existing links has been posted on fvinternals. They did a tool that recalculates an existing lonely animal link to a calf. This way you can get/post more than one calf per day!

Update: These guys redid and expanded the former fvinternals tool, visit: http://farm.hackers.am/converter/

Steps:

This method is tricky, because you have to have breakpoints turned on before the animal pops up.

To force the lonely animal popup eg minimize the browser window with fv for 10 minutes, then open it and check for a lonely animal with Charles' breakpoints turned on all the time.
1) Lonely animal popup shows: execute the request
2) Edit the response (string) to the animal you want to - only calfs or other lonely animals are possible.
