[Guide] Where Not To have GM Malls.

[Beastybeef]

I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Private servers. I just found out about private servers about 2 weeks ago and just made one myself 3 days ago thanks to "Run a MaNGOS 2.4.3 server in 3 steps with the noobpack by 711"

But cant you just make a custom Faction that is hostile to all but GMs and Apply the faction ID to the Vendors? This way even if they get to GM island the vendors themselves would act as Guards...

[dude891]

Guards won't work either. there is now a hack that changes your faction =/. Pretty much the only way you can do it is if you write a script that bans players when they get to gm island which I heard is hard to make

[kakkman]

I have an Idea. maybe You could Block off an instance so no players can access it. or make an invisible wall

GM ISLAND
Yes thats right. NEVER have any Special Vendors on GM ISLAND. It is so very easy to hack to there, The only way to protect yourself Is Guards. Make them a faction that attacks Everything, The GM's just have to do .invis And they can avoid them. But any hackers that attempt to come to the island will be destroyed in a 70k crit.

No offense but it is impossible to get to GM island without being a GM with teleport commands... the land stops before you can get to GM island.. it is impossible. So before you say "its very easy to hack there" you should have some evidence to back that up.

You are very wrong. It is possible, even on official wow. With terrain/model editing you can build a bridge from night elf starting place to GM island. It takes around 40 minutes to go there without speedhack but it is indeed possible. I've been there collecting cache for UDB. Just look at the model editing section on mmowned and you will see that it's possible. It's even easier on private servers where you can just use a simple hacking tool to teleport there.

And saying "never put vendors on GM island" is also just bullshit. An admin who can't fix the security on the server shouldn't be an admin, imo.

Anyone with a little C++ knowledge would just edit the code where the zone changing are handled to just make it autoteleport or ban players who enters GM island.

For MaNGOS users there is already a patch with an option for that: ImpConfig

best place evar:
Inside of Dalaran! There are houses that protrude into the bubble that you cant get out of without using blink

also:
make an npc that looks like a guard but gives the item like in STV and westfall

The only way is with terrain/model editing... and if someone was making a GM island why would they want want to put a bridge to GM island? Also theres a invis barrier that keeps people from entering.

[Jrgamespot]

simple solution: use this - http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...ll-includ.html

and add whatever items u want to it

Do you even know what you are talking about? It's not the ADMIN who makes the bridge, it's the "cheater". Model editing is OFC client side, if you change the terrain it will only be changed for you. So it's not like an admin can change the whole world and all players will see it. Then he has to send the .mpq file to every player on the server. And no, there is no damn invisible barrier on GM island. And the only way is not model editing, it is possible with a hacking tool too.

Just get it, you are wrong!

Theswordsman, You have 2 posts. The only posts you have are in this thread showing you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Dythzer is right. Its very simple to model edit, basically 3 steps: (**EDIT: Even tho I have like 30+ posts, I read a lot / run my own server**)

1.) DL The Patch, and Program
2.) Run the program
3.) Login to WoW.

ANYONE can DO it. No Admin can block this. It IS doable on retail WoW. And the invisible barriers you speak of are VERY easy bypass.

An as for making GM Vendors, why not put them into the GMIsland's Box? Then, spawn an object, half way up, modify the scale, and there ya go.

Anyone with the coord's to hack to GMBox would only get to the box, not to the top, even if they had a fly hack. And as for another, why not just set your flyspeed to the max, go to some spot, hold the space bar for like a minute, and create a platform there. No one, with any hack, or cheat (besides .cheat fly/flyspeed) would be able to find it, let alone spend time to get it. This place would need to be random, over The Veiled or Great Sea, that way when they /who, they won't know where.


That's all.

[ninjiaownage]

caves are in no way safe as you can simply noclip through them. your best bet...make youself an island in the air with noggit and put your vendors there

[Jodeath]

i like this post
on topic, how about just not telling the peeps of the server where the mall is. or have one npc that you spawn and delete, that has everything.

[Nikogrom]

I have GM vendors on GM Island on my server. The only thing is that GM's need to enter a pass code in order to choose to browse goods. Honestly, I don't mind if players get there since they don't know the passcode.

[masian1]

Create the mall where you want and add some level 70 guards around that do 20 000 dmg/hit.

GM's : .cheat god
Rest: die

--> Problem resolved =p ?

If you put and 100000 guards will dont work me and a friend had speed and i take all the guards and he buys and then i buy while he run whit the guards folow him

[Lukas 45]

There is NO save place to get GM malls.
In Water? Elixer of Breathing FTW!
In Air(Not in Outland)? Fly Hack FTW!
In Closed Rooms? Teleport Hack FTW
In the Sea where ppl will die cuz of the yellow things? SpeedHack FTW!
A place with 100 guards 1000000 hit pr sec? Rogues with 95% FTW, and Invisible Hack FTW!
Any place there will be hard to find? If the hackers find out where it are they will Tele hack!

The most safe place IS .additem ______ !!! There ARE no safe place from hackers! They can hack to everything to everywhere!

Only .additem is safe!
