adding server strings

Warcaptain · #1 10-21-2001, 12:22 AM

on free servers, players are able to add server strings without doing putnpc, this needs to be fixed.

i am unable to load server flags on enigma cuz it is overloaded.

What do you mean?

Stefan made a post about this a few days ago. There's an option you can now add (in serveroptions.txt) which stops the addition of server strings. -Yin

How about next time taking the initiative to actually search for things. -Yin

Yes but that new option only works on server
that have been restarted (restarting 25 servers
each time a little thing has been updated
is quite lot work)

BUT stefan, i do need you to remove the hacked server strings from the server, we cant do it manualy.

I fixed everything yesterday
Now you only need to fix your weapons
to not do toweapon from a weapon

they actually did that? it would be like:

if(weaponfired){
toweapon haha;
}
if(weaponfired){
toweapon hahah;
}

And make sure all your weapons have images set! Blank-image NPCs go to the server, but don't stick to the list or something....

oooo , what do u mean ?

Pago had a weapon in the shark spar called *Swords Only, but it didn't have an image...so it'd load for the player, bounce to the server, the server would reject it because it didn't have an image, and I think the client would too, but regardless with the new antihack it goes to the server as an added weapon, doesn't match the one on the database, and so the player's kicked off.

Yes the server actually checks for the toweapons line in the script and also checks if the image of the npc (specified in the level file, not with setimg) really exists. In v2.1 it will be so that the
client doesn't add the weapon, and will only wait for the
server to send the script (back). It's more data than actually needed but more secure because then you cannot add weapons by doing cheating

A more common 'error' is

NPC Code:



if (playerenters) toweapons Blabla;

That needs to be changed to

NPC Code:



if (playerenters && !isweapon) toweapons Blabla;
