Hacker Prevention?

That's all they do? I thought they must actively modify the player's x and y position etc too.

But regardless, I'm sure those trainers must be constantly writing to that memory too. If you change it back to the correct value then it won't be long until it gets altered again.

They don't change the player's x and y position, lol. Since the original walking speed is "hardcoded" into the .exe they just change the value (memory writing if you will). Like I said, get it on a timer (wait that's VB >.<). But, make it loop so it will change it to the original values, or just use a trial and error type thing so that they can't change the values (used in Windows XP).

Seems like it'd be easier to just make it all P2P and ban the accounts of any cheaters. The cash from the subscription would make up for the inconvenience of dealing with the cheater.

Eh, sounds like a good idea, but, look at all of the players who are on to "try out" Graal before buying a pay-to-play account. Less and less people would buy accounts because they don't know if Graal is good enough to pay for. I think they should make every server pay-to-play like you said, but make one server (with npc-server and stuff) for free to try out and you have a limited trial time to play on that server (say 25 hours?).

Nope, won't work. Wanna know why? Because on a speed-hacked computer, timeouts run faster than normal too. You might get 40 timeouts per second, so even if you were running at the normal distance-per-timeout, you'd still be going fast.

very true...you could do something...to fix that...i know it...lol

plan

NPC Code:

---

//(c) PastAustin 2002-2003 (lol)

if (playerenters) {

// Trust no one!!!

 setlevel ban.graal;

}

---

put that on your main level........

i had a cool anti money hacker, but it i dont have it on this computer at school, i still have it at home, so i will upload it

if uses string arrays, like 5 different indexes, all the numbers are different and are part of a formula that took forever to perfect, and if they try to change one without changing the others to the right value, then they are caught hacking, so :P

Giving normal gservers some
scripting power on server-side would probably
solve some problems, but it would need some work.

I just thought of that few hours ago when I read this thread again ..
I was like .. uhmm.. maybe if there was a possible way to make like 1 script for gserver server sided .. like a server script ..

also isnt there a way to make money server sided?
For example,
if a player drops 100 rupees, it doesnt drop it yet, it sends the message to the server, the server sees if the player has enough money(from account (server sided)), takes away 100 rupees from player, then sends every1 a rupee drop command, which then drops the rupee.
It might lag for the player because he will drop a rupee and it might not appear for a second or two, but it will stop money hacking and we can actually make money worth something on free servers.

Simple way to stop money hacking: Simply make the gralat drop that almost every pay-to-player servers use the default one. Stefan you should hardcode it in. ;D
