you could do something like this ...
Have DB NPC constantly setting serverr.timev to int( timevar2 ) every second.

Then in a system script have something like

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  setTimer( 1 );

}

function onTimeOut()

{

  client.cTime = serverr.timev;

  setTimer( 1 );

}

Since it can't connect to the server, serverr.timev does not update. And that's assuming client scripts still run, which I'm pretty sure they don't. If they don't it still works the same.

then something like ....

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( ! client.cTime in | serverr.timev - 2, serverr.timev + 2 | )

{

  doNotAttack();

}

else

{

  pwnThatNoob();

}

Could also solve some problems with modem taping, etc.

Just a suggestion rather than jailing people?

That seems simple enough, just send trigger to client regularly, if one fails do a few retries, if they all fail, then give them the boot form the dungeon.

Obviously Stefan doesn't know what hes doing on Zodiac or it might be a higher priority.

Edit: I just tested a simple ping function I made using a simple triggerclient and responding triggerserver. When the ESC menu is closed it works fine, when the ESC menu is open, I stop receiving a response, when I close the ESC menu again (with cancel) it works fine again.

There you go, simple way to check. All you need to do is adjust how sensitive you want the pings to be. For myself have a ping sent to clients in dungeon every 1 or 2 seconds, I doubt Graal would choke over that. If a client fails a single ping, disable whatever system that is being abused, if the next ping succeeds, reenable it. If a client fails multiple pings in a row (like 5) or has high failure rate, then boot from dungeon.

I don't play Zodiac so I don't know the details, I'm just going off of whats been posted in this thread.

Edit2: After having a second go at it with a more sophisticated function, the ESC menu works too fast for it to be accurate. Oh well, at least I gave it a shot. *Goes to sulk in corner*

Manager used to be Calani. She did nothing and ignored everyone's requests. Now it is Drander. Drander is never online. Oh let's add some salt to the wound. The ETA banned me from all events for not selling him my Vampire Dusts. :\

I wouldn't consider any ET part of "management".

That's still corrupt and the management should take care of this by either firing him or fixing my event blacklist.

Perhaps you should talk to Bell, she'd most likely do well to stop these problems.

Have you told the management this happened?

This is what I have on Maloria to check for connection problems:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() {
  switch (params[0]) {
    //Echo back to clientside if connection works.
    case "serverecho":
      if ((params[2]-1) > 0)
        echo("System Lag: Account " @ params[1] @ " had a connection failure. (Tried " @ (params[2]-1) @ " times.)");
      triggerclient("weapon", name, "clientok", params[1]);
    break;
    /*
    Serverside lag detection to be completed later.
    case "serverok":
    break;*/
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.failcount = 0;
  this.timer = 0;
  client.noconnection = false;
  onTimeOut();
}
function onTimeOut() {
  this.failcount++;
  if (this.timer < 3) this.timer += .1;
  else {
    triggerserver("weapon", name, "serverecho", player.account, this.failcount);
    this.timer = 0;
  }
  if (this.failcount > 3) {
    if (this.failcount < 10)
      client.noconnection = true;
    else {
      this.failcount = 0;
      client.noconnection = false;
      serverWarp("login");
    }
  }
  else client.noconnection = false;
  setTimer(0.1);
}
function onActionClientSide() {
  if (player.account == params[1]) {
    switch (params[0]) {
      //Connection successful
      case "clientok":
        this.failcount = 0;
      break;
      /*
      Serverside lag detection to be completed later.
      case "clientecho":
      break;*/
    }
  }
}

Probably a better alternative. If client.noconnection is true, then don't do any processes, like damage detection, movement, etc.

I haven't got a chance to talk to Drander yet, no.

So why are you complaining about them not doing anything if they don't even know? Management doesn't come with a degree in mind-reading.
