From what I have been told by another buddy. Clan Gold are server side and can't be altered, because it goes through a auth server. But I will try to find some way. He was pretty certain, and a lot more experienced than me. <shrug>
I show VIP 12 in game, but if I choose VIP in game it says claim still, but does not allow me to claim it and get rid of the button. But my account shows that I'm VIP12, so I will try your method and see if that gets rid of the black claim button. Thanks.
I also figured out if you change the timers on it will only work one time, and then go back to default. So I'm going to try to work on that also a little, although it really has no relevance with the other mods we have already done.
I also did chest, and the cards, but some cards that required clan gold only would not change even though I changed them, same with levels. I changed all them to 3 stars and it did not change in game if I had not already beaten that level for real.
