10 chars spamming spell = Crashing server.

[Grinch]

I got a big problem here. A guy logs in on 10 characters (mc) spamming spells that is not for his lvl (poofing the spell)and after some minutes the server crashes. Someone got any idea how to fix this?

Source edit....

Could just create a lua function:

if getPlayerLevel(cid) < 60 then

local commapos = string.find(param,",")
local name = string.sub(param,1,commapos-1)
local text = string.sub(param,commapos+1,string.len(param))
local player = getPlayerByName(name)
doCreatureSay(player,text,TALKTYPE_SAY)
else
"perform spell"

But I don't have time to complete the script atm

Created 2 solutions to this problem:
#1 In this scenario the level requirement for the spell is level 60:

local config = {
text = "you don't have enough level."
}

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
if getPlayerLevel(cid) <= 60 then
doCreatureSay(cid,.config.text,TALKTYPE_SAY)
else

(SPELL)

end
return LUA_NO_ERROR
end

#2 Disable party spells, as they are affecting it.

Did this work for you?

You can also use spell not for your vocation, you can use spell which you an use but you don't have mana for it...

Exiber told me that this will be fixed in the new TFS 0.3.4, so download that when it releases! =)

 

[Deaktiver]

uhm.. I tryed it with 20~30 characters and the server didn't crash. Maybe its just a bug on 0.3.X.. I'm using 0.2

All versions are affected. You need magebomb script as well, and at least 100 players online

I got the same problem here server gets crashed when peoples spamming spells (some of them magebomb)

Yep, looks like this is getting a more wide problem throughout OT servers.

Well, didn't you say "Exiber" this is going to be fixed with 0.3.4? So what I think is to calm down and wait 3 more days until the update comes. =)

Because I'm not thinking about updating to 8.41.

Can't all this shit simply be fixed by making a script that would not let more than 5chars(5 cuz I think it would not be enough to crash server with this amount, tell me if Im wrong) online with same ip at same time?

WEll I know that players using LAN won't be able to login(only 5 playas will be able), but when I'm checking /mc in my ot there are never more than 2 or 3 same ips, so I doubt you will loose much.


Correct me if Im wrong pls

There are already scripts like this on the forum.

Ye, I know, but all I did was asking question "Can't all this shit simply be fixed by making a script that would not let more than 5chars?"


Or this method won't help?

It will not fix it, but prevent it by a certain percentage.
What if they log on 4 computers with 2 players each? And then connect magebomb through the computers.

True. But usualy there is only one man doing that.

Not on my server.
2 difference guilds are doing it =/
So all I can do is to keep banishing them.

Best solution is change this
loginTries = 10
retryTimeout = 5 * 1000
loginTimeout = 60 * 1000
logintres use lower 3 or 2 so then it wont be easy to us magebomb.

Yeah this was how i fixed it in my server

Would this be correct?

	loginTries = 2
	retryTimeout = 5 * 1000
	loginTimeout = 60 * 1000

No, in 0.3.4 this problem will be the same, elf said none gave him a reliable report for this.

 

[Specjalist]

then tell me how can I contact him... then I will crash his server this way and he will see what it's exactly caused by...
