Detect a Built in function
 

Is there anyway to detect if a built in function was called such as updateboard? I'm trying to add the OLE to testbed and want to make sure updateboad only works in that system.

scriptlogfunctions

in server options maybe. Other than that, no.

detecting them and having them continue to work - no
detecting them and blocking them - yes

Ahh thank you Andy and Calli.

Actually gave this a try myself, since I hadn't used GS2 in a long time, and to my surprise, it's absolutely impossible to hook functions. Such a shame.

Heh
We have stray echo on Era that could be hiding in a script or in a level somewhere... I guess we'll never find it.

I've spent a good amount of time hunting that one down. Still haven't found it.

on login initiate a script that pm's everyone every 30-60 seconds 'pls email [email protected] prior 2 using updTEboard'. that should resolve ur issue in no time

What you guys might try is running all files on era thru a phraser to check for echo script. I did such a thing on another server with a program I made to read all .nw files and check if the links were aligned neatly around the edge of the level and if they all linked to .nw levels instead of .graal. I think it was some couple hundred files it scanned. Jaw dropping fast job literally makes your job effortless.

I did that a while ago. Theres a lot of **** to look through on Era.

eh i dont think theres that many levels though,

Great start would be to just start removing the echo's all together lol.

We've grep'd everything to hell with many different patterns, there is a lot of **** on era.

Can't you use this?

Yea that logs it, but doesn't prevent it from being used. Thats what I was aiming for specifically was o prevent it from being used in other systems besides the one I want it to work. Something I might consider is not sure if its possible. Check everytime a script is updated to see if updateboard exist in that file.

In other words you'd like an option in serverops that might say: allowedscript$echo()=-MDEditor

Sorry, I was referring to the Era echo spam

Not for echo..

If you'd like me to investigate add me some rights and I'll log on :)

I can add you rights, you will have them by tommorrow.
