Devs put it in the game. And assist took it out
lol, what? No, no we did not. AA 2 never had a kill player feature in the admin panel.

Devs made you do med trianing and assist decide best to give every one it.
For a decent amount of Assist's life, training was still mandatory. We removed it as we weren't getting any new players. New players don't want to sit through the tedious training so they would download the game, start the training and then never play again.

bump ^.^, assist could add this to the game i added one in my ultimatemod. ofcourse i added the command via a mutator file whereas assist uses interaction files but it shouldn't be hard to put it in an interaction file instead.

Code snippet from UltimateMod.uc:
Code: [Select]
function Kill (Int PlayerID)
{
local HumanController HC;
local int i;

    for (i = 0; i < Level.Game.GameReplicationInfo.PRIArray.Length; i++)
    {
        HC = HumanController(Level.Game.GameReplicationInfo.PRIArray[i].GetController());

        if (HC != None)
        {
            if (HC.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerID == PlayerID)
            {

                if (HC.Pawn == none)
                {
                    HC.ClientMessage("You Cant Kill Dead Bodies Private!") ;
                } else if (HC.Pawn != None)
                {
                    Level.Game.BroadcastHandler.Broadcast (None,""$HC.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName$" was killed by an Admin for Violation(s) of Server Rules!") ;
                    HC.Pawn.TakeDamage(100,None,vect(0.00,0.00,0.00),vect(0.00,0.00,256.00),class'Suicided');
}
            }
        }
    }
}

Yeah.... admins being able to kill any player in the server is not a good thing. We get enough bitching about admin abuse as it is.

Killa I dont thibk anyone has direct excess to his direct data. I thought he just rented servers and gave each server owner there own control and own pw to there own server. I can be mistaken
Not sure how merlin set things up. Long as these idiots cant ddos where happy
Right. He gave them FTP access to the server, which they could then add or remove files. That was the problem. Don't give people direct access to your server unless you completely trust them.

Servers already crashed because of the action described above. If there's no security issue how someone was able to crash them just like that at the first place? I get it that you need to have privileges, you need to pay to get access to server files, and every action executed with privileges will leave a mark, so it all will be easily sorted out, but it doesn't remove the fact that crashing is still possible.

So as long as it's possible, I find it as an issue and if it's not a security issue then what is it?
I don't think you're completely understanding what I am saying. The person who did this was given access to that server. They used their access to use a stress test program on the server. If they were never given access to the server, this wouldn't have been possible.  We're not talking about something like server admin here, we're talking FTP access to the machine the server is running on.

Not only is this not a security risk, it's not even an issue at all. Bottom line, don't give strangers direct access to your server. That's all there is to it.

I will try to clear this up here. The ONLY way a stress test could affect a game server is if it is running on the computer that is running the AA server. That is it. So the person running the program would have to be on that server. This is not something a user can do on his own computer and affect some server somewhere.
This is NOT a security risk.

As for the calls for a ban. There will be no ban. Who you give access to your servers is completely up to you and if you get burned by it it's not up to use to hand out punishment for it.

i just want merlin to explain it a bit better cause if that software does what he says it does to servers then anyone can do this not just you
No. The only way a stress test could bog down a server is if it was running on said server. The screenshots must have been from the machine running the servers or none of this makes any sense.

Not currently. We're working on basic pages to replace account registration and editing but the editing is a little ways out right now.

Server Support / Re: Battletracker service will be shutdown forever soon
« on: Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 01:32:29 AM »
Just as a quick update, I have a working prototype of a registration page done. There's still some features/restrictions I need to add and a lot of testing to be done, but I figured I'd give some sort of update since there's been none for a while.

Next up to work on will be a login page and an account editing page. A bit more difficult of a task, but shouldn't be too bad.

Like has been said before, it's not the tracking that is the issue. ELiZ implemented that a few years back. It's the account registration and managing that's the issue right now.
No, tracking is still absolutely an issue, just one I am not concerned with at this time. There's a lot of pieces to fix tracking to make it work. As far as I am aware it was never finished or fully implemented. We're still pulling stats from BT.
 This can be looked at after higher priority stuff (account registration/editing) is completed.

Drama & Spam / Re: BS Ban by Vegeta
« on: Sunday, February 18, 2018, 22:03:41 PM »
This isn't really the right place to past this as this is for Assist bans not server bans, but I'll allow it so you can try to get a response.

Also, Please refrain from spamming the shoutbox. You got a 24 hour ban not for asking why you were banned, but for spamming it over and over again.

KillaMan, can you give us a brief overview of the progress of the new registration page? Would be nice. And if you need some support or tester, let us know, maybe some can help. Thanks a lot!
Not much at this moment. Still trying to decypher a lot of the Assist back end stuff. I have access to the assist database now, but there's a lot more work to be done such as trying to hash the passwords the same way it's done for BT accounts currently as well as other overlying account issues with our database. It's going to take some time and I don't have much time to give at the moment.

Maybe he can help - why not take his offer ??
Any help should be aprecciated - or you guys to proud - or is it dangerous to let
someone in ?

Lord-of-War  :style:
We do not own battletracker. We do not run battletracker. We have offered to host Battletracker for free and gotten nowhere. Homey has expressed his desire to let it die. I can try emailing him again but I don't think he's going to change his mind.

Miscellaneous / Re: What you think of Trump just curious

wooo hooo off by 1 year, how's my post so ignorant?????
why cause I'm a strong trump supporter and i love every thing he's doing?? specially trying to get rid of the illegal immigrants and making are borders better

No, I was not talking about your support of a piece of shit human being. Your post was ignorant by suggesting that younger people shouldn't care about politics. That would definitely be convenient for all the old republicans trying to screw over as much of the younger generation as they can to fill their own pockets.

Trump is quite literally anti freedom. He's gone after the media like no other president (of course aside from the media that he agrees with), he tried to fire someone who is investigating his shady dealing with Russia. He won't even visit allies because their citizens would protest how big of a piece of shit he is. Yes, he is not going to visit an ally (the UK in this instance) due to peaceful protests. He even said so to the British PM. What a fucking joke. Leader of the free world my ass.

And I'm not even going to get into the sexual assault accusations, the paying off pornstars and strippers, his 3 bankruptcies while being all about "business", his speeches of absolute nonsese, his constant lying, his failure to broker a deal to prevent the government shutdown, his lack of condemning nazis and racists, the list goes on.
And what about how he goes golfing every week or on vacation to his own properties LITERALLY siphoning millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars into his own companies?
or what about his random Twitter tantrums attacking other people? What kind of president attacks his own citizens?

But sure, feel free to continue to worry about latinos sneaking into our country and "dreamers" who contribute more to our society than Trump ever will, and just ignore the moron in the white house trying to tear the country apart. That's exactly what he wants you to do. Wikid's post even proves this, he mentions only illegal immigration (which  is essentially not even a real problem in terms of how much it costs the country) but fails to mention all of Trump's attacks on our freedom. Guess who signed the renewal of the NSA warrantless surveillance bill? Your man boy infant Trump.

It is absolutely baffling how he has somehow conned a large group of people into thinking he's serving in their best interest while fucking them over in broad daylight. He plays on racist and nationalist pride so they ignore how he's actually screwing the working class over.

At your young age why do you care to get involved with politics??? 


What kind of bullshit question is that? It affects my life. How old do you even think I am and why should that change anything?
