Does anyone know of a GM detection routine? I use to have one that I found on AC but since Luth did the big wipe it's no longer there. And since one poped up on me (fortunately i was paying attention) not to long ago its high on my list of things to do. However they seem to have changed checking methods, they didn't spam me (like they use to, and opened up a (GM CHAT SESSION???). Any help would be appreciated.
-
Endless Night used to have his posted to the public at uocoders, but later pulled it to just be accessible by the contributor group there. I don't know of any public scripts currently available.
-
And mine is currently undergoing a revamp... so its not actually posted anywhere at present.
-
bummer,
any idea if the chat system is new, or if the old method of journal scanning for gm's is the only way of looking for them.
TIA
-
In another thread here, we were discussing this and anything the GMs are doing should still be available in the journal.
-
the chat system is about a year old. You can scan for it in your journal. THe trick is that they now always ask you a follow up message such as what time is it... or what color is the robe you are wearing...etc. If you don't answer the follow ups - or answer the right q- you get banned anyways
-
interesting, they didn't ask me anything, just to respond, and i did, then they said okay thanks and loggged. maybe it was the kind of answer i gave misspelled an all.
-
they must have lightened up. the last time I was banned about 5 years go, because I quit for 4. the gm stopped me, I responded. He banned my anyways because I was using EUO even though he couldn't prove it, he said I was working to fast, its not possible to work as fast as I was moving. I still got a 72 hour ban.
-
umm...
Yeah they have lightened up a lot in that way.
The 3 times they asked me to provide a answer to a question were when i was script mining. Maybe they were just being extra careful because I was obviously running a script.

Yeah, and the other 2-3 miners in your locations mined the same way. Happened to me last week, and I see all the same folks now within my screens we all, dig dig recall, recall dig dig. Why do I does this GM? Cause it's quicker then trammel and I dont want anyone killing my firebeetle and taking 1k+ ingots after killing me. Oh, and my one spot that yields 30-40 color each spawn, just turned Val!!

I need to get off my butt and test my detector. I wrote a very basic one a while back; problem is I don't script enough unattended to really need it. Every time I've been caught I've been able to say, "Yup I'm here." and had always forgotten to start the detection script. heh.

I afk at least 2 guys 24/7. I will beta it for you. I will even make a dummy acct and script in front of peeps to see if i can get some pages to test it in the evening when i am home. When you need someone to abuse it- I will pitch in. I'm sure I will be testing for endless based on how much i use his current one.
-
yea, but what do you do to testi t call a GM on yourself.
Hey there's someone scripting over here it's me. come check me out. put me in jail
lol i dying. funnystuff to my self.
sorry bout the weirdness there. happens occasionally.
peace
-
lol, yeh, calling the GMs on yourself could cause problems for sure.
I have some OLD dumps from GM sessions from log files, and GM names have changed over the years as well as how they communicate. It's a rare day when they actually "appear" and chat.
-
yea since it has changed to a chat session, I was thinking its should be as simple as scan journal for "session opened" in journalwith a looping beep for an alarm. my old one did a looping beep, would try to carry on a conversation, i made it sound like a 6 year old ( lol it was funny the couple of times i got paged on and had that conversation running)was playing for dad while he was in bathroom. or it would auto log out like a lost connection. If you need a beta i would love to volunteer. though i only have the 1 acct.
-
Funny and yes if it came down to a good test i would page on myself from a second client. It would be a trial acct scripting so it wouldn't matter to me. Or i would have a friend page and then take a picture of the journal.
My favorite advice of all time was to reply in a foreign language... haha

This is so easy...

if someone has the chat start from their journal i would love a quick post of it. cause i can honestly say in the years i have played i have only been spanked twice by GM's.
-
Mine is useless for you since the last one I captured was like 5 years ago. We had that info at uocoders, but we know where that is now....

I would love to get a good GM Detection Script. I try and run one miner 24/7 and have been popped once, but not for mining. I was running OMG's Taming Script and of course someone must have gotten pissed that I was taming all of the bulls all night long and paged on me. I want to run a second miner since Granite now stacks and is so much easier to store...if I mine Ore and Stone on a Miner, it takes a lot longer to get as many ingots as if mining only for ore, so I want to start a second miner...
-
This is a very basic loop that should detect the GM chat in your journal. You will still have to make your own routine/loop for when the GM actually starts talking. I would run a loop that just keeps playing a sound. I haven't tested it or nothing and just wrote it up but I don't think anything else will trigger it since there's no possible way to get the characters "[GM][" as the first 5 characters in your journal.
You could probably test it using the SysMessage command though to stimulate a GM chat. Here's a link on how that works: http://wiki.easyuo.com/index.php/Event_SysMessage
set %lastindex #JINDEX
_loop:
if #JINDEX > %lastindex
{
set %temp #JINDEX
for %a %lastindex %temp
{
scanjournal %a
str mid #JOURNAL 0 5
if #STRRES = [GM][
{
;ROUTINE HERE
}
}
set %lastindex %temp
}
goto _loop

Hmmm... i dont have balls enough to try to make a GM conversation. What i would like is to recall to safety, say "Ciao" and logg out as fast as possible :) Or would you get banned if you logged out and not responded correctly?
I got paged many years ago while training stealing (while i slept) and woke up with my char in jail, that was a sobering experience, didnt dare macro for ages after that.
How are the rules (and more interesting the praxis) now: I read somewhere that you get banned and loose your account if you are caught scripting unattended? Others say that EA is so afraid to loose more of the paying player base that only professional violators (duping and so on) get banned?
-
I have been spanked soo many times by GMS it is ridiculous, I run 99% of my scripts totally unattended and haven't totally tweaked out how I want my GM detector to work (a tweaked version of EN's origional). Anyways being almost totally unattended I have been banned quite a few times. In fact I probably a 48 or 72 hour ban once very couple of months for unattended macroing, if they are going to ever ban anyone permanently it would have to definitally be for much more than scripting.
-
I am really curious as to how a GM might respond if I were to reply to him in a diff language.....that might have to be a potential test :)
-
Now a GM will ask you about what you're wearing usually. In most cases it's always been about your robe if you're wearing one. I know all my friends lately they ask about the robe, such as mine did lol.
They usually give you a few minutes to respond. So you can make it play a sound on your computer, but turn off other sounds. Crank your volume up so it wakes you up or lets you know incase you're in another room lol.
-
I sleep with my headphones near my bed LOL! I only needed to address it once but it wakes me up.

Nerd. :p

LOL I have to be a nerd about it when the acct has two marks on it :(

YES!
I know I need a great 'GM Detection Script'. If I don't run my miner while I sleep, then I will have withdrawl symptoms all day long the following morning. Mining has to be the most mundane and most repetitive skills in the whole game. Recently, EA finally came thru with their promise to have all of the different types of Granite stackable. (Funny thing is that I write an awesome script which seperates out all of the Granite for me and 6 weeks later, Granite is stackable).
So please, :'( PLEASE, find it in your hearts to help us poor fanatic Miners and Fisherman help to fulfill their cravings at their repeatitive and boring tasks!
ORACLE
;D

This is very interesting discusion. I'm GM on biggest Czech(my country) shard. I have to do AFK controls even when i have miners etc. ;) with friend we try a lot things to detect GM becouse i'm not only one there 8) If GM unhide itself you'll get beep. But if he will just give your character in to visible list and ask you thats make you very big problem i don't know why but we can't digg up with some great detection :'( You just have to prey that he'll reveal himself or you are doomed. I'll try to help you with this problem in future becouse i have a lot of work on university ;)
-
Well, a STRONG GM detector will still work then since the GM has to interact with you somehow. So that would be a gump that pops up, or text put into your journal. Both of those are detectable and you can take action. RUN! HIDE! Whatever. ;)
