stifler, look at the bigger picture

load mtama, go to options, make sure enable scrpts is checked

2 things. 1) if ppl try to abuse that script they will get banned themselves, but i do see it could be a small risk. 2) PPL have started hex editing the program, changing the command strings so they dont get kicked, so there r still problems

we r up for 1 too if u like

ok, as a temp measure against this bot, i suggest all admin block the name bot from their servers, dont allow duplicate ip's and add this to their alias mta.pm: elseif (($4 == attack) && ($5 isnum)) { mta.say $1 $mta.name($1,$2) $+ : Suspected BOT usage (BOT: $mta.name($1,$mta.getid($1,$3)) $+ ) mta.ban $1 $2 mta.ban $1 $mta.getid($1,$3) } elseif (($4 == follow) && ($5 isnum)) { mta.say $1 $mta.name($1,$2) $+ : Suspected BOT usage (BOT: $mta.name($1,$mta.getid($1,$3)) $+ ) mta.ban $1 $2 mta.ban $1 $mta.getid($1,$3) } elseif (($4 == fire) && ($5 isnum)) { mta.say $1 $mta.name($1,$2) $+ : Suspected BOT usage (BOT: $mta.name($1,$mta.getid($1,$3)) $+ ) mta.ban $1 $2 mta.ban $1 $mta.getid($1,$3) }

well, ok a ban on the pm strings would be easy, but thats not the only thing these bots do, there are plenty of ways of making it do things without pming it, so its still a problem as far as i can see

ok, prob wiht checking x and y coords on everyone in the server is that ud have to have a timer checking all positions as much as possible, say once every 0.5 secs, on every player in the server. This is similar to a speed checker. There are 2 problems with that. 1) 100% CPU usage all the time, however fast ure computer = highly inefficent. 2) mtama doesnt refress coords too often cos of the fact its a plugin. This leads to very inaccurate results and could lead to incorrect information. outback, care to enlighten us to how this is "easy as pie" to detect?

yes i completely agree, this is appauling. I was sent this bot from a know MTA player, whos name ill not say, and he was using it on my server till i banned it. So far ive banned the default name of the bot from my server and disallowed duplicate ip's. Im gonna work with some other ppl to see if there is a way of detecting it, but if anyone has any ideas then feel free to bring them up in this topic.

yes, hundreds of ppl have it already, ive banned 7 of em already in the last 2 hours

no its not invicible, but that doesnt mean it doesnt break any rules. It can jetpack anywhere, never runs out of ammo etc. The point of this topic is to find a way fo a) detecting it and b) stopping it cos its becoming a large problem already

ok, this has just been released to a LOT of people playing MTA. Basically its a BOT that responds to commands via pm to it in the server. It also has a gui and can be controlled from windows. This bot can kill on request using many weapons and can act as a taxi service etc for players in the server. It can also do the following: Replica was not even in game at that time. Now for now the only way i can see to stop this is to not allow duplicate IP addresses, which is a shame for LAN people, as people in the server can connect using the client to control it from in game. This WONT stop just the bot on its own. If any member of the MTA team wants a copy of the prog to take a look at then pm me or ask me on irc, ill be on there discussing it with u guys tonight anyways. I cannot stress enough the problems this has already caused, and if it continues to spread then its going to be a nightmare.

ive got 10GB bandwidth for this on another host bump didnt provide, try that.. http://www.ohdear.net/html/mta.php

for a compilation script use my general use script, in this forum. As for spawning things thats not possible

no that would be ridiculous, imagine the amount of events ud need to call that efficently

yeah but im waiting for 3.08 to be out before i release it. As for the weapon thing, its so simple. alias mta.kill { mta.say $1 $mta.name($1,$3) killed $mta.name($1,$2) with a $mta.weapon ($1,$4) } there is a tiny example for u, that should help clear things up

thats how dark it is in the game, so close the blind or watch it at night, i dont want to give a misrepresentation of the games. Wouldnt be a very good "general gameplay" video if it was all at day would it

mta.weapon works off weapon id NOT player id, just a hint and here is a more advanced clan PM feature. The format is: /msg clan if ($3 == clan) { if ($4 != $null) { set %playerid 0 while ( $mta.maxplayers($1) > %playerid ) { if (($4 isin $mta.name($1, %playerid)) && $mta.name($1,$2) != $mta.name($1, %playerid)) { mta.msg $1 %playerid $mta.name($1,$2) $+ : $5- } %playerid = %playerid + 1 } mta.msg $1 $2 Message delivered to all members of $4 unset %playerid } else { mta.msg $1 $2 Syntax: /msg clan } }

so ppl ask why hes got 2 threads??

kev ive got 1 of them, but its MUCH more cpu friendly to not use a new alias for it. Just a suggestion, wouldnt be hard to put that alias into the existing one

thanks guys, glad u all like it
