Computers can do maths yes, but bots can not read the text of an image loaded within a game :P
Bots can also not type an answer
The fact that there are no bots being reported by players or the system proves that that system is working

BH

Got an issue with this system, was just running ZT 7th and i got a maths equation popup on my screen, needless to say because i was running i almost died and had to TT. Any idea why this is happening on deep cave floors?

What image are you talking about? The server sends the client the information in text format to start with. It's just a matter of understanding the packet.

No. There are no bots online because you changed the mir.exe so a re-code of the bot is necessary.

It should not be happening on that map

We will look into it

Thanks for the report

And these packets can be changed

Kindly post how you would make a system to stop the bots?

Well duh? So the feature is currently working. Bot Makers now have to go and figure out how to get around it (and they will, no one denies that). When they figure it out it can be changed and they'll have to do it all over again. It's how these things work. Anti Cheat systems are not static they have to constantly evolve.

No matter what it'll always be better to have an Anti Bot system and Manual detection instead of just the Manual Detection that Chronicles had before this patch no?

I wouldn't use an authentication system to start with. But if you're going with that, you should at least attempt to encrypt the data sent from client to server.

This is not what I meant.

The exe changed (not the authentication) meaning all addresses for modification have to be re-coded. You could change the client with one line of nul code and a cheat/bot program would probably have to be redone.

Assuming this is true (I don't see why they'd rely on exact addresses when they can scan the exe for the data they want) either way they need to code in something new to handle the Auth System, eventually with time and improvements this will become more and more difficult for bot makers and the time to money ratio will make it no longer worth it.

It's not a one release catch all system and they've never advertised it as such. It's a start.

All of TKO are having a pub quiz style game on Team speak to try and solve them all, they think it's a great event and want to know what the prize is for getting them all right.

We are mad for it. I think you should start adding partial differentiation and imaginary numbers BH.
Add some into Sabuk palace and orgasmics can kill time.

Its not hard to make a captcha system that can be used to beat the protection you think you have, infact i bet i could get one up and running in a few days

So if i can do this, the system you think you have in place will have no effect on bots, the only people it's affecting are real players and putting them off playing

Hes genuinely upset and I find it a piss take if nothing gets done about immature little muppets like this.

Really people this isn't difficult

"It's not a one release catch all system and they've never advertised it as such. It's a start."

-edit- I'd also consider a few days to beat a system a success when it can be easily modified and improved thus restarting their progress

They've also stated it'll be improved to minimise real players being affected.

Any maths or captcha can be done in less than 1 second on the fly

What i'am saying is, whats the point adding it in ? it's not going to stop nothing, and i can't see why you would of thought it would of

It's taken me less than 1 hour, i have setup a gaa script that beats 75% of captcha and any it does not beat i can mod to beat it, making it flawless

Not only that but i have also made it 2 ways, i did have 1 hour lol

It's running on webserver and standalone

Webserver you have to load the captcha images in and it will tell you the answer (more or a test really to see the power of it) or api which can be added to most apps to use auto

Now if i can do this in about 1 hour why add this system to it ? its stopping no one

video on way

I fail to understand what you are trying to prove with this video.

Yes you created something that can read images that you select for it. This is not hard to do. I could write a mobile app in a few minutes and use the camera to read the text from any of those images

I fail to see how this is related to the server and stoping or not stopping bots.

As has been pointed out, this is the first release of a system to stop the bots, it will always be adjusted and updated to make it less of an issue for players and more of an issue for bots.

Anyway this is getting silly now, you do not like they system, fair enough but as stated it is what we have decided to use and we will continue to work and update the system as needed.

I don't like the system because it's not that safe, and it's more of a pain in the ass to players

If it was me and i wanted somthing like this, you use the a simple captcha on a keypad that pops up

the user needs to select one of the options, that simple and hard to beat

like what year is it, you select 2014

no silly typing no working out just a simple click

You want to stop cheats but yet you fail to understand how they work, hence you fail at stopping them

The first thing you should of done was to hash the entire source, this also prove you don't know much

without hassing the source on the client you can mod the tactor.canmove giving the player speed (speed cheat) vir hex once unpacked

adding protection to the exe like themida is the last step,you add this and think your safe
alot of this bots/cheats you bring on your self and you need to sort yourself out and stop adding silly things and fix the main things

If you need help just ask but as my video proves anything can be bypassed even the admin bh can do on his phone in 1 min

How do you think certain people may feel when winters says "go fk ya mum" do you not realize not all peoples parents are still alive and he doesn't think anything is wrong with this, he constantly abuses people i think he deserves it, all you've done with this post is make him a bigger target for being a cry child, also abuse has and always will be a part of mir if he can't handle it he shouldn't dish it out.

Lol, I do hope this is due to a bug in the code and not an inability to answer the questions.

I agree that being spammed with this will put people off and we really should make longer periods of time (twice a day wouldn't be unrealisitic in my opinion).

Sam

Yeah for sure, at present it feels a bit over the top if you're running mini bosses and frequently tt'ing/going in and out of various shops sometimes can happen 2 times in a single town visit presently

I am a Team member and I don't really know Winters too well but I will say this whether your friends or not there is never an excuse for taking the mickey out of someone for a medical condition. Dyslexia doesn't mean someone is stupid it has nothing to do with that whatsoever. Dyslexia affects some skills and abilities and is not linked to a persons level of intelligence. I just want to ask are the questions proving a real problem for people with dyslexia and if so is there any way we can make improvements to help these players.

Dyslexia is about letters words and spelling and handwriting. Not usually numbers.
Clever and dyslexic means they can figure out ways to manage anyway. Typing is usually OK.

Clever dyslexics often develop extremely good social and interpersonal skills and get people to do the reading and writing for them or make enough dosh to hire a secretaryor assistant to do it.

Go fk yr mum doesn't sound like good social skills, but nor does taking the pee out of the disadvantaged and vulnerable. Unless yr in Big Bang when where Aspergers is targeted for humourous abuse. Verbal bullying is fun after all.

Goading the enemy into losing his temper and making mistakes is standard tactics.

Take yr pick. Its a tactic or its bullying.
