| Its fixed at rom2server too with Nova's patch. Special event has ended. Actually I had expected at least 3 players, but only Nova joined. He will receive the quest armor on his normal account, with the res mod of his choice. I"m planning for a special event between Christmas and New year (actually until the first week of januari 2009). With a fresh start with new chrs. Everyone who plays now may choose 1 item of the old account to move to the Chrismas hat. There is however 1 condition: I want at least 5 players who promise to participate. When there's not enough players the project will be cancelled, and as a consequence the end of 2008 will also be the end of this server. Don't let that happen and join! |

| Yes, we chatted and I applied the patch. Yet it would be a lot easier if someone just told me what can be done on chr. creation, on what stage, what hex strings are used and where... I know my way around in editing, and useually when I know where to search I can make my own patches. And help the community this way. | ||||

| Hey, at least I'm not malicious about it. Some people would ruin your server with this. I'm just testing it out to find the loopholes that need patching. And I'm not secretive either...I named my cheat charater SHE | WHO CHEATS. And yes, I am using the "GM HACK". And yes, it is easily fixed. We'll chat offline of this forum. And there are other CHEATS currently enabled on your HAT that you'll want to disable as well. -NOVA |

| No, I think this is what they call GM hack (no sure, I don't know the thing). Nova has 1 chr who can cheat on every server, on different maps, with sometimes 4, 10 or 12 chr's allowed. I'm quite sure it was a simular hack that caused the premature closure of the old Lith hat (illegal items and players suspicious that the Lith server administrator himself was cheating - for who else than an administrator has this power?). This hack has done a lot of harm. It's time to stop this forever. Therefore, as a server administrator, its not enough to get a 'free' patch: I need to understand how its done, reproduce it, and than test it with the patch, in several different circumstances. I suppose we wait for Nova's story. |

| Ex-lent, Nova was using the cheatcodes on several different maps, including the original Muddle map. I'll check later, but I think those maps have different amounts of players set. Nova: This probably goes back to a long history, back to the days of the Lith hat... I'll tell that story another time but just knowing the patchcodes is not enough. As a server administrator I need to know [i]what[/i] I patch, and have ways to check if it works. So I need to know the cheat/hack/whatever it was as well. I don't have MSN, and since its probably a lot of information all together, I suggest you mail me. Thanks! |

| Catch me on MSN and I can show you how to patch against it. It's easy. I'll be gone again tomorrow at yet another funeral (yes another family member gone, this is getting ridiculous). Later, NOVA |

| Update: My server was never patched with ex-lend's anti cheat codes, and I had no idea that my little patch which allowed the Hunt 'n shop map to use cheatcodes already was outdated by newer ways of cheating... Making it possible to use cheatcodes everywhere. I have no clue how this is done, what cheat this is, and how to prevent it, but obviously the rules need some adjustments: Play fair without any cheat to level your chr. to horror. Than you may use cheatcodes on Hunt 'n Shop to create whatever you like, and beat Medusas garden. Not very hard, I've done it too, and I'm realy not a brilliant player. Using cheats outside hunt 'n shop will disquallify the complete account, no matter if you succeed with a different chr to obtain the quest item. I hope someone can tell me how to patch the server to prevent using cheatmode. |

| Special event 21-24 november 2008: Start a new chr (your other chr's are temporary closed) and fight your way up to Horror. Once on Horror you can access the cheatcode's in the map Hunt & Shop. Make yourself as strong as possible and beat the map Medusa's Garden. Show me the meteoric plate cuirass from this map (abs. 30, def 100, pr. earth 15, body 5) and you will receive an equal cuirass with protection 15 of your choice (instead of earth) on you normal account! And of course I'll check the logfile to see if you actually beated the spider, and did not create the cuirass on Hunt :) Good hunting! |
