Hopeless, and pointless.

Walk out of range of your access point, and then wander back in as if you never lost the connection.

A matter of opinion.

Wow, you really know how to preserve energy.
I will make and sell these to anyone who is interested for a quite unreasonable price.




Seriously.

Yes. But these are a minority.

And I already responded thereto :-p

Which is what? Disconnected cables, high-frequency packets? How are either of these, in themselves, problems?

Such could be the case. We both know that the best way to get Stefan to add something awesome is to find something that appeals to him and show him that it requires your suggestion to be added :)

Mostly not too big a deal, as long as the server does some simple checking.

I don't know exactly how Graal works, internally. But a suitably skilled user could always edit his client such that it does.

Well, it is still not something that you can simply "remove".

My handy dandy slicing dicing universal tool will work on your router's power cord also!

Mind the electrical shock, though. It's killer.

Awesome!

No buy my mini-microwave, and you can slow your connect down AND cook min-snacks inside ;)

Uh oh... that's good...

Time to release the CLASSIC version! :)

(Thanks Coke!)

Please stick to the thread topic.

Possible ways for fixing abusing of modem tapping:

1. On the serverside when receiving the "actionattack" trigger save the time and next time check if the time difference is bigger than a certain amount to prevent sending tons of triggers at once. The time difference depends on the weapon that is currently used, but for modem tapping even a small time difference is enough. Something like this:

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverattack) {

  lastattacktime = strtofloat(#s(lastattack));

  if (timevar2-lastattacktime in |0,0.2|)

    return;

  setstring lastattack,#v(timevar2); // saved in players account



  // normal attack code

  ...

}

---

2. An additional check could be done by triggering the client or setting a client string to tell the client that he/she is allowed to send another trigger or to send more projectiles, this is e.g. used on Zone.

3. We will add more events and functions in the future for controlling projectiles better

Haha, Woot thank you <3

Stefan used to script almost everything.

He doesn't anymore?

I don't think it would display your new position on your screen if you simply sent the packets. Most trainers source code I have seen simply edit the memory address for the player's x and y coordinates, and leave it up to the Graal Client to send the packets with the new position, so the memory editing is probably vital to the whole 'warping around' action.

Actually, It's taking advantage of the serverside hurt system(Might as well get some good out of it if we're gonna have it). It basically shoots every bullet shot while you were "disconnected"(The period in which your ethernet cord was unplugged), and loads them at the same time(when the server loads what you did).

It's always worked on Era, It's just more effective with the serverside hurt scripts.

On another note, Are the serverside hurt scripts really necessary? They have about a 1 second delay on the bullets.

I'll give you a nice deal on some tin foil. ;)

If you want security, they are.

That's a bit of an overestimation, there.

You also have to consider what the players want.

Many people dislike the serverside hit detection on classic as well. (at least it seemed that way when I was last on)

I was unaware that the players wanted trainer users running rampantly across the Graal servers.

On Era, you can still easily use that well known memory program to give yourself rapid fire and no player freeze delay when firing guns.

It's actually a lot easier to get unlimited ammo on there now.

Then their system was not very well thought-out, now was it? What does that have to do with serverside hit detection, anyway?

Shooting many projectiles, we are working on a way to easily detect that

So please tell me, how did the modem standby get carried over from Halo 2 into Graal?

It's been on Graal for atleast a good year or so but it's only now being used like it's going out of fashion :\

No effense, but I would not call unplugging your modem, "modem tapping". That's like saying someone who uses trainers is a leet hacker. In my opinion what people do these days to get an advantage in a game, specifically graal is ridiculous.

Graal needs lag tolerance settings. I'll wait for responses before I expand.
