In regards to exploits

Okay.

What if theoretically....

i have been exploiting for a long time... but didnt know it.

Yet now i know im exploiting and have been.

and i tell on myself for doing it..

Do i get

A)banned than rewarded.

B)Rewarded than banned.

C)Rewarded not banned.

D)Banned not rewarded.

E)Nothing.

And i found out i was exploiting like yesterday so i wasnt sure if i should tell anyone cuz it gives me a great advantage over everyone apparently is what ive been told lol

YET.

If someone tells on me and i dont know it i could get banned for not telling.

So this is all

Theory.

Well when you're exploiting, you KNOW. Exploiting is going out of your way to modify your client to do things in a certain way to take advantage of a security flaw, or modifying packets to try and manipulate the server, etc...

I mean, you are more then try to test stuff like this on TC1, this way we can work on making our server more secure. But if you are actively using these exploits then yeah it is bannable if you don't report it, or if we catch you doing stuff that is very suspicious.

I also have plans to, rather then fix exploits and make them just not work, to just "catch" them being used, and the person gets auto banned. This will weed out exploiters faster then just keep on fixing stuff then they just find more.

A good example is tomb stone hacks in fel. Its very easy for me to setup a system to autoban anyone who uses that.

No lol. He's talking about the extra little things in felucca that stop your movement such as tombstones or twigs and manipulating your client to walk over them.

Ahh okay because well

A) i theoritically could accidently use client hacks but i forgot that i even had them i started using them like a month ago on shattered but i forgot about it ill just take the files out when i play here.. theyre not really hacks thou that give me an advantage its more like using hue editor to make every color in uo on my screen glacial blue. except it turns fields into like teleporters to stop the lag.. and like stump hack but idk about tombstones?

ill just change the files out when i play on aov.

C) i was talking more i guess about a bug that theoretically i could be using that gives me say 100+ extra skill that i need to have which i dont.

Theory. LOL

Even letter a) theory.

changing the statics/hues/maps does not do much mind you. Like I tried this on demise when I knew less about how UO works, if you unfreeze the wall to inquis room for example then patch your client with that map, you still can't go through. Same with tree stumps, you still wont be able to go through anyway even if you remove the trees completly.

The tomb stones are different though and this is a very bad design on UO's part. It's basically a special packet that tells the client to remove leaves off trees, add tomb stones, etc.

I personally like the hacked field spell to tele pad, trees to stumps client altho it does allow you to walk through tombstones which is a no no

Not seeing house walls is a plus as well.
