Support haiti with the re-gift cheat

Farmville got updated with new a new function "re-gifting". This functions allows you to share the giftable items from your giftbox with your friends. There is a limit of three request per day.

Some information about the function:

FunctionName: UserService.giftStoredGiftBoxItems
Parameters: [itemcode], [number of elements to share]

The first release had no checks, it simple took the itemcode, and did following mathematical operation.

item_count = item_count - number_of_shared_items

Where item_count is the number of the items in your giftbox like "olivetree=3" and the number_of_shared_items.

By changing the itemcode, you could simple share items like fv cash with your friends. But Zynga recognized this bug very fast and is now checking if the item is giftable. The giftable items can be viewed on http://fvinternals.funpic.de/giftable.php.

Now lets begin with a simple mathematic course to understand what the new haiti is doing.

We assume, that our giftbox has three haitibackpack_item_single items.
If we set number_of_shared_items to 1, the calculation will be
number_of_shared_items = 3 - 1 = 2.

But what happens if we set number_of_shared_items to -1?
number_of_shared_items = 2 - (-1) = 2 + 1 = 3.

Yes, we can add items to our giftbox.
If there is no item in the giftbox, the counter would be zero. So you can also add new giftable items to an empty giftbox.

We implemented this cheat to support the haiti school. If we understood it correctly, Zynga is counting the items on your backpack. Use this tool to get as many schoolitems into your giftbox as you want to support haiti.

Download the haiti.exe and put in into your FVinternals folder, should be on C:\FV\ for most of you.

Run it as follows to get 500 backpack items:

haiti.exe youremail --reGift=haitibackpack_item_single --countItem=500

You can also get other items using this tool, just change the itemname and the counter. Visit http://fvinternals.funpic.de/giftable.php for itemnames.
