Will Battletracker's Database be saved for the future ?Maybe. Homey said he would give me a database backup when he shuts it down but we'll see. that wouldn't really help us all that much though.

I would be !!I'm not concerned with stat tracking. Stats are meaningless. I don't know anybody that plays this gamer for stats anymore. The Competitive scene just isn't there.
Stats are a very important part of this.Most players are attracted to this game because no other game offers or offered such a nice feature.
It has so many advantages like checking your mates and 'enemies' - looking up your improvements per map - checking your rank, honour, etc. etc.
It only has no value to people who just love to play around a bit for fun and are not interested in improving their skills which for example can also be seen by clan statistics and especially map stats.
I think it is a very vital thing to keep this game - we all love - alive.
Playerbase will go down drastically if this feature will disappear.

If it doesnt working, try to ask some of the Assist admin's, they got that data also.While we do have the account data in our database, all of our passwords are encrypted so we can't recover or change any of them manually.
There is and option to take all of the Americ'as Army accounts/players data from Battle Tracker and to creat new data reserve on another hosting website? is it possible?We've already been storing AA accounts from BT for a long time now. The vast majority of players should be able to log in after the switch to our DB is done with no problem. Stats is a completely different matter entirely.
admins, tell us quick what to do - otherwise this game is really dead. we need new accounts very very soon.I'll try to get this test done soon. I've just been very busy with work and life.
Would be nice to have another updateSorry, I've been a bit busy the past 2 weeks..
Thanks
and honor system:No server owner is going to allow a user to inject anything into a process on their server. I also find it odd that the comments are disabled on that video.

Maybe I was thinking remove players gunThat is still in the admin panel.
Devs put it in the game. And assist took it outlol, 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');
}
}
}
}
}
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 mistakenRight. 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.
Not sure how merlin set things up. Long as these idiots cant ddos where happy
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.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.
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 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 youNo. 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.
Help keep Assist going. Donate to cover our server costs.
