Zodiac, jailed for the escape button.

The people in the party that are jailed must have been in a dungeon for them to be in jail.

It's simple, why would you press esc in the dungeon and then click on cancel? The person that pressed esc is jailed for two hours * amount of times that they've pressed the esc button. The party members are jailed for 30 * amounts THEY HAVE pressed it.

If there was another way, I'd gladly do it. However, there isn't... It's constant abuse.

Just temporarily stunt the player's stats or something when they do it instead. Jailing them is absolutely absurd. :/

Well you can check if the Graal Window is in focus, I believe... you can try that(not sure if Graal loses focus when the escape window is open, though).

I still think you should just bug Stefan to remove the feature altogether... it's ancient stuff for any Windows program and no one uses it... and it's obviously causing problems.

Also, have you tried substituting the escape button with something else via Gscript?

Wow ... you implemented that? I thought you had some sense ... That is the absolute STUPIDEST thing I have EVER seen a server do.

You're jailing people TWO HOURS for that? If you know when they hit esc enough to jail them, couldn't you just use that to know whether the player is on the escape menu? Or have it so that once you open escape, the server trys to trigger the client, then once it CAN trigger the client, unset the esc menu var.

Wow, so stupid ...

[xAndrewx]

lol

I'll make it so you can't enter the dungeons for a period of time.

Just so you're aware.
It only sends the action IF the player presses cancel, that's when it's all done. However, it's been altered now. No jail, just no dungeon for an hour

...and you. I dont play Zodiac, but this should be removed.

My problem wasn't jailing people for abuse, my problem was that if I joined a party and some ******* decided to press esc i'd be jailed too. :/

[xAndrewx]

well, only if you were in a dungeon.

Seriously, what on EARTH did you think? What possible good reason could there be for this function?

No ****? Where else would I typically party?

[xAndrewx]

it'd stop people from using it.

However, this dungeon thing for 30 minutes is kinda cool, not as fun though

And I was thinking Zodiac may have had the slighest chance of taking off again......stupid decisions like those will kill it off. Damn quickly. I would have just warped the player outside of the dungeon when they did it and add a flag. If it happens alot within a certain period of time, then you could take higher action.

Jailing everyone because someone presses esc was ****house..

Okay, I'm in a dungeon with my friend, partied. doesn't mean he or she will still accidentally press it.

Honestly, jail your party for one man's mistake? You're probably ruining there self esteem or something when they have 2+ players and they harass the **** out of them because they were in some EPIC FIGHT ran for there mouse and hit esc on the way

The idea of jailing a whole party, not even just the person who pressed the button, but the entire party is ridiculous.
