player.ip? - Page 2

If someone were stupid enough to make a script to give out IPs of others they'd be dumb enough to give it to someone who asked.

Maybe the script would send a msg to RC if the player of a staff account is out of range.

With the added complication of Billy who sets his dial-up IP as a full 4 digit IP lock on his account!

RC shows you the last IP, but this could be used to get a list of someones IPs. Which is more abuseable than a single IP, and less effort than cheacking multiple times to get a list.

Come on people. If you don't know what you are talking about, then don't talk!

/open PlayerAccount

HELLO! It's an IP! OMG!

If you think player.ip is insecure, then obviously we must remove RCs from seeing IPs as well.

Haha at Billy.

I think Inverness means that higher staff can put IP restrictions for a staff's player, in addition to his/her RC. Logging on with an IP out of range wouldn't disconnect them from the server, but it would notify RC.

That is exactly what I meant.

How about you read up on it yourself? That is how I learn and I find it pretty
effective.

If you know so much about it, why not explain to me why I'm wrong?

Wow, I'd of thought you'd be against it with other globals...

How about no one downloads hacks, tries to destroy graal, uses password stealers or any other 3rd party program for graal use. Including Art money.

Theirfore we won't need to worry about getting peoples ips and locking them as people won't have their passes all over the internet.

Because I know it would not do either of us any good.

The script that would display player.id would be produced by Staff. Staff can already use it by RC. There are practical things an NPC Lister can do: Add list of previous IPs to check if a hacker, for instance, is logging on another user, or how dynamic and reliable is a certain player's IP to do IP restrictions when they are hired as staff... Or you can simply make sure that they aren't abusing it?
