A player asks for help because she / he is stuck., how would you assist this player.: .summon Player name and then .revive Player name if they are dead.
-A player needs help with a Donation. He / she claims they have donated and they want their reward, how would you handle this: First i would tell them to come to the forums and make a thead in the section that is here.
-A gamemaster / admin / developer asks for you to assist a player because they are extremely busy. What do you do: Assist that player to the best of my ability.
-A player claims they have won an event and didnt get a reward. They ask for a reward from you but they dont have any proof that they won that event. How would you handle this: tell them that its hard luck and to make sure that you get a Screen shot of the next Event you win so you can prove you won it.
-You decide to ban a player for hacking. They make another character and start complaining about their banned character. How do you handle this: .playerinfo then .killbyaccount account name.
-A player reports a hacker, but they have no proof. You decide to investigate this and you can not catch the person hacking. What do you do: Give him a warning then disapear then put .invisible Port to him and follow him for 5mins or so if he dosnt speed hack then keep checking on him everynow and then.
-Closing Comments on Section Two:
I know all my commands, I know what all the .mod commands do, i can use the .debug and .account commands quickly to catch hackers, and i know almost all the normal used commands, such as .learn, .additem, and the other commands to deal with tickets!
This is allso a small part of a Guide i made for GMs. This part is how to catch hackers.
Now that you know a bit about hackers, this is a simple step by step guide to dealing with them and getting rid of them.
First, make yourself a macro, this is the one i use
/s You have been caught hacking %t , A screenshot has been automatically taken by the time you read this, and your account name, your IP as well as other confidential information has already been identified and is being possessed. Resistance is futile. Should you attempt to log out now, you will find your account banned, and if the hack you are using is serious enough, your IP may be banned. Your best hope is to stay online, and plead for a lesser sentence.
/s .debug root
/s .player info
(( and press print screen really quickly. =P))
With this, you should stop them dead in their tracks at your robotic like voice. act as if you had busted a hundred hackers before and that you are a vet at this. This will make his attempts at explaining himself either extremely well thought out, or make him blurt out his hack and say "Pleze dont ban me!!" Usually they will say this instead of thinking about an excuse. At this point he will be putty in your hands. take a screenshot of the dialog, and now if he tries to come back one month latter to plead himself innocent and hope you wont remember, he will be in for a rough ride.
Second, Your going to have to find the hacker. you only have two eyes you know.
That's where a few tips might come in handy.
First of all, most of the server will not like hackers, at all. So as soon as they see a hacker they will blurt out somewhere they think your chat log will show their message, and say "Hackzorz is FLYHACKING, BAN him plez!" That would be the 911 call, and you are the police. Strap your uniform with ".gmon", and ".invisible". Then type ".summon Hackzorz" if the player reported hackzorz, and use that marco of yours. If he was not hacking, well, send him back to where he was, if he was, well you just netted yourself a hacker.
If it was a flyhacker, as soon as you summon him, go a few feet in the air, and .summon him again. If he does not fall, you caught him. take the SS of that now.
If he is a speedhacker, you will have to use a diffrent thing. First, .appear to the player that asked for help, send him a whisper saying this, or something like this:
/w Hello I am invisible and at your location, please remain calm to not alert the speedhacker that i am here. You will not be able to talk to me, so move to the location of the speedhacker, i shall remain at your side for 5 minutes. If we cannot find the speed hacker, i will move on. Should others see him speedhack as well, i shall investigate him further.
He should start running into the battle as he was doing before. Keep a close eye, because the speed hacker will not suspect anything and will rush out at the person you are monitoring. If you are sure he is speedhacking, .recall port And summon him there, click him and use the maco. The time it takes him to read it, you will aready have everything you need. Make sure you summon him in a confined area where he cant run out, i cant stress this enough.
Once you have caught the hacker, continue on and administer the correct punishment that the rules in your server define. Keep in mind, of all my experience, a hacker will always turn back to hacking. Even if he swears to you that he wont. I have never met a hacker that will not turn back to hacking when he says he will. the only thing is the time he takes to turn back. Some will pass a week without hacking, others will pass 5 minutes and start again when they think you are not looking. hackers are NOT to be trusted.
In dealing with hackers, speed is important. when you summon a speed hacker, do so in the thinkbox at GM island, that way he has no where to run to. when you catch a flyhacker, do so in a place where there is a roof, because when you summon them, they might already still have the up arrow key pressed and will speed out of your area.
Make sure you extract info from the hackers, this will help you deal with other hackers. having experience in where hackers come from, and what they usually do, will help you a lot in dealing with hackers.
again, NEVER trust hackers to say they will stop. Hard and swift on the wicked, Kind and helpful to they who earn it
Also, make sure you have an achieve of all the hackers you caught. Drag their SS, and a short notepad with a tiny description of what they were doing when you caught them, to a folder. Think of this as your Hacker collection. Be proud of it, the bigger it is, the better you are =]
Thanks again
Im allso up for learning in Scripting and so on. Im not afraid to ask questions.
