Synz 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 definitely what ever they do will change the game. The main issue that i see with taking the tab key away is the bump/not seeing yourself issue where you have to change mode 3-4 times to get out. certainly having to click the key (sword key) that fast then click to where you have to go will take alot longer to get away from that bug and probably making you more vulnerable to die to it. If there is some way to make it so when you use the F keys it would be like making it so right before it casts the spell it auto Right Clicks so it makes you stop where you are before the cast? That i think would be the best way to solve it and im pretty sure jaapy can find a way to make this work =x. well for those of us that actually have skill and shield cast with shield bound to f2 or f3... welll no ur idea doesnt work I'm fairly certain that you can only tab bug using a magic bound button. So yes, it will work. I suggested this much earlier. I haven't really tested it, but tell me if I'm wrong...the tab bug only works when you have a wand out and are using a magic-bound F key. Note: The tab key ALWAYS makes you look funny, however, I don't think you gain any actual speed if you do not have a wand out and a spell isn't bound to the F key that you're hitting. You just mess up your frames on your screen, and can cause slight graphical glitches on other people's screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~elguason 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 It doesnt work with a weapon or shield. You need your hand free to cast. Stop giving names, we are trying to find a solution, dont convert this in a flamming topic. Synz & Autumn, if you hold the left click down, the right click doesnt work and you still can run abusing of the Bug. Edit: Every solution sound fine but they have negative parts. The perfect solution is that you MUST cast after pressing F4 or F2 and F3 if they have a magic bound. Now, the problem is that if you hold the Left click, the right click seems not to work. Notice how if you are running and you aim a character you do not stop, but if you do this "trick" and you Aim a character while you are running super fast you stop to Cast... Why does this happen? Why when you abuse of the bug what make you stop to cast when you aim a char and not when you aim the ground?. Perhaps the fix is there, so when you press a F2/3/4 (with a magic bound) ti should work the same way as if you were aiming a character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

locobans 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Hello, Well I never knew about this till now, and to be honest I think the best solution should be is to log the people that are constantly changing from peace to battle mode on x period of time, like on the old servers it used to log cast hack and stuff like that... Now I don't know if the client send a request to the server to change the battle mode, and honestly I don't think so, so most likely in that case it will be hard to log whoever is doing it cause the server doesn't know what's going on... Somewhere, somehow, it could be detected and like I said whoever is doing it should be banned. There's my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 uhhhhh? i am like 99% sure I see people with shield or weapon doing it and moving faster i hope your not 99% sure =x. ran it with a macro with shield on and it did not work. sooo theres your answer. it works with all the Fkeys when magic is bound and hands do have to be free to cast as elguason said. but yeah maybe if when you cast it makes the cursor act likes its aiming at a character it would stop the bug. Awesome idea elguason. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Synz 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Elguason: You can have the game run a client-side script that emulates releasing the left-click, then have the right click trigger, then have the magic cast. This could have anti-virus' mad at us though, possibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svafnir 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 What if you can acces peace/attack mode only by clicking the peace /attack mode button? In addition create a 3, 4 seg delay between consecutive changes, meaning once you entered peace/attack you have to wait 3,4 secs to go peace/attack again.

~elguason 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 If you add a delay you will die when you get bumped and need to click the Peace/attack mode 2 times at least and wait like 8 seconds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oni 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 I still see the best solution is putting a FPS limit on the client. It completely nullifies the whole "tab bug" and it levels the playing field. People with 500 fps won't have a computer advantage over a player with 50 or 60 fps. I have seen warriors out run mages while frozen, why the *censored* is that even possible (and he was wearing a shield...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaggyBoyX 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Well, i've been following this post closely...and still searching for an answer... You could get rid of the tab key, but that would possibly make the game user un-friendly. You could use a log to check the tabbers, and IMO this could work...but gm's would be checking logs 25/8 The next solution, if you press f4, f3, f2, if they're bound to magic, MAKE IT CAST; this seems to be the best solution in my head. The sp bound to tab key could possibley work exponentially, but i see a lot of noobs dying to this...especially low lvl mages. Isnt it true that if you switch to peace mode theres a df advantage? I dont really have any new ideas...but, we do have possible options, even if they're not the best ones. (TABBERS SUCK :angry: ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(TABBERS SUCK :angry: ) Making a log for logging tabs would grow exponentially large and take up massive amounts of hdd space in no time. The most plausible solution is the suggestion of a force cast, punishing people by using tab in the form of an SP drain is rather unneeded. You'd have to figure out how to make the player stop moving and use the spell bound to those keys. But you'd also need to make sure you do not make the "item bound to F2/F3" not work anymore.

Could we possibly make it so you can only go in peace mode in safe zones and inside building. Then make its so you can create a party while in attack mode ? This would also eliminate the ability to pass activation items from one person to another, that just annoys me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the best way to go about this. if you do that you cant exchange items if you make so you can exchange in attack mode, in pvp you exchange with your opponent and they wont be able to drink pots so no that wouldnt be the best way to fix it. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
