Doomsday Gone

[Spark910]

Good idea for a team. But be careful who you put there, we dont want some of the big headed scripters on these forums bossing the PWs around.

limitfreeplayers2=true
you can prevent that trials players use massive bombs/items/explosions. If someone does such a thing it shouldn't crash the server though.

On several servers the control-npc needs to be fixed, because there are often leaks that make it possible for 'hackers' to get unlimited money or similar things. We will do a team with scripters that can help such playerworlds to remove such scripting leaks and script better in general to have less lag.

Sounds good, chief,

1.) Doomsdays up =D
2.) limitfreeplayers1=true - Is that anything, if so, what does it do!?

Doesn't matter who you put on the team, becouse people always think they are being bossed around, and will refuse to listen. In which case they report they are unwilling to secure thier npc's and they get shut down. Or at least threatened until they give in!

But the team needs to be able to be told not to help, if the PW doesnt want it, they may want to do it them selves. If you ask me, a team of globals with full NPC NC righs on every server could be risky.

Shouldn't be hard to secure the CNPCs et cetera, especially if people learn to use a password in the triggeraction and change it regularly.

I just found out, they get level one global, and everyone on PWs have to give them NPC Rights.

limitfreeplayers=true prevents the saving etc. for trial accounts, it can only be set/unset in the hidden serveroptions (another file which can only be edited by me and Stephane)
We might also add an option for playerworld admins for temporary making all trials ghost, so they have time to fix things or ban hackers.

No it was an illegal access to FTP by an illegal user; an Admin did something dumb knowing he was under threat of his personal comp being hacked ,turned off his firewall and someone gained access to his comp and the FTP password and the rest is history. btw it was Richard if anyone was wondering and he was fired for his lack of good judgement. This was the first and last time that happened , never again has anyone "deleted Npulse " or caused any damage to that extent.

That sounds like a great idea

Thanks Stefan ^-^

Should be a built in thing to detect how many bombs someone has dropped in last min, same for: Bombs, Arrows, Money, Life etc..

Instant spottage when someone drops over 20,000 every min.

Well it's back up and running 100% right?

This isn't about being nice and offering to help people, it is about getting those servers into a halfway-respectable form so that they are no longer tainting Graal with their poorly-designed scripts. Servers should not be given the option to refuse the script team, simply because they're usually insufficiently competent to fix the problems themselves.

If they have to have a team tell them it's wrong, they won't think it needs fixed and will naturally not want to cooperate... They kinda have to be forced to listen i suppose.

I'd love to help on that team though

Well they do. They have to give the team the NPC Rights on local servers.
