Going Over 50K HP w/ ArcEmu = DC

[Pathosun]

Alright, it's time to address this, because I can't find a single thread, forum, or notation talking about this to date so far except for one thread here on Mmowned where no one really gave a shit because the poster couldn't explain the issue well enough.

So, here's the deal. Currently with all ArcEmu WotLK revisions, if you go over 50,000 HP on a character on a NON-GM account, you will get permanently D/C'ed when trying to log on to that character. There is absolutely no work-around except to a) not go over 50K HP, or b) upgrade the account to GM status.

I run a private server that features custom items from quests, drops, etc. The custom gear we have does not have like 10000 STM, but it does have a little more than the Blizz gear as it gets more powerful. A lot of players are now getting to the point that they are at or near 50K HP.

We're tired of telling people to donate for GM status to get around the bug (although this ordeal has brought us a crapload of donations lmao). If anyone has any clue or any ideas whatsoever how to get around this, please state it in this thread or send me a private message.

Don't flame, either, please... keep the "DIRRR THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD RUN BLIZZLIKE REALMS ONLY" out of this. For the record, it's quite possible to achieve 50,000 HP with retail-only gear, so it's in everyone's best interest who uses ArcEmu to figure this out.

Rubbish name for a server
Anyway I would guess it's some sort of anti hack feature they put in, just go into the cpp files and have a little look. There might be a file called Anti-hack.cpp and inside have a line "If hp < 50000 then Disconection;" I dunno. As I said, all you need to do is spend 10minutes looking for it.

This is why I barely come on here, everyone's a smartass... but this is the biggest list of emu-talk boards around unfortunately.

As far as the issue, I can't be the only owner experiencing this problem, and yes I have taken a look inside many of the required files for compiling but cannot find anything. We still run a BC realm too and there's nothing like this with that realm, so it is something new in the WotLK editions. I do not claim to be an emulation expert, I am only an expert at the management side of this stuff so far. I am more or less hoping someone can jump up here and go "OH IT'S THIS LINE IN THIS FILE" etc.

At least, yeah, that's the hope. =P

Hey, I didn't get all rude on you I was joking around. It's called fun if you didn't know. My server is called "World of Roarcraft" which most people think is stupid, it's the way it goes.
I'll take a look in the core for it in the next couple of hours depending when i'm free for you, but seriously, lighten up

[Henkke]

one of the downsides of wow emulation community today, ppl with no skills in coding getting money from others hard work -_-
anyway player.cpp line 5441.
if ( res > 50000 && GetSession()->GetPermissionCount() <= 0 ) //hacker? change
if ( res > 5000000 && GetSession()->GetPermissionCount() <= 0 ) //hacker?

[stoneharry]

Thanks Henkke, saved me some time Rep added.

[Pathosun]

Wonderful, Henkke, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Stoneharry- telling a server owner their server name is "rubbish" is picking a fight, I've never had anyone like, just talk to me in a purely friendly tone on here except the legendary Keazain.

And yes, Henkke is right. I make money off other people's work like many others. I don't typically compile, I use his compiles. But when shit hits the fan and I've got to do something on my own like this, I will, and thanks to Henkke now I know exactly what to do.

I work 40 hours a week still and I'm not about to quit my day job to run a server. That's great if you people can sit around all day with this stuff 24/7 but unfortunately I have other obligations so I save time by using other people's ArcEmu compiles, specifically Keazain's, because they rock so hard.

Thanks MMOwned, have a great day and keep making people feel miserable because they don't know 100% of everything there is to know about emulation.

[Pathosun]

Oh, and at least I coded our entire web site, admin panel/login area/voting crap/donations and all. =P

I do HTML, PHP, ASP, SQL and graphic design, but I haven't been able to take that time to sit down and magically become a C++ god overnight. I'm sure it'll happen eventually. Until then I'll just continue to cry myself to sleep regularly because I'm not as good as the guys on MMOwned.

Peace, folks, and thanks again despite my sarcasm towards your unwarranted hating.

[stoneharry]

As you cant use body language/vocals on here I use emotions instead. If i'm talking serious I wont use a emotion, while if i'm happy and joking around i'll use "" and "". If i'm feeling stupid because I did something wrong i'll use "". I'm sorry for offending you in any way if I did but I'm just very casual on these forums I help people where I can because I can do it fast and easily, if it's a job where I actually have to go find something i'll do it when I get round to it. I hope you understand where i'm coming from... Theres a lot of other people like me on these forums, you just need to read between the lines, and were not all just kids that go round showing off and going "Were better than you because we got a blue name" for example. I only know minor C++, Sql (which is easy) and good Lua/Lua++, theres people on here who can code MUCH more than me, theres leechers on here that are better than me, it's not hard getting up in the ranks, you just need to contribute as some people don't like doing. We all started at leecher, I just decided I liked these forums and decided to do something usefull. There Anyway, I'll stay out of this forum now because i'm causing more off-topic and harm than help bye

[Pathosun]

Yeah it's cool mate, just remember that some people might take your original comment about our name a little more seriously than others. That, and I'm just prepared to defend myself because every time I come to MMOwned all I see in most of the posts is flaming and people ripping on others because they don't know as much.

It's very similar to the actual World of WarCraft retail forums where it's just a bunch of people calling each other nubs because they don't know how to do this or that. I'm one of those "world peace" people I guess, I don't understand where the hate comes from, but today's experience has made me think no differently about this web site.

Comments like Hennke's are exactly what I'm talking about too. He has no clue how much work myself and my GM's do to run our server. There's a lot more to running an actual server than compiling the emulators and launching them. Of course, I don't expect a code junky to understand that. If he pulled his head out of his ass for a moment or two and looked around, he'd find that out, but I'm sure it's much more safe and warm inside the anal cavity.

[Greed]

That server has a rubbish name and its goal is rubbish, who wants to play on a retail server just with over 50k health. thats rubbish. Wai hasnt that been done before?

oh yeah it has -_-

[Henkke]

Pathosun.. maybe it's you who should pull your head out of your ass. Every post you make is made to build up flaming and fights, what for? I do know what it takes to run servers, i said
"one of the downsides of wow emulation community today, ppl with no skills in coding getting money from others hard work -_-" Becouse you, yourself in every post of yours keep popping that up " i do nothing, shut the hell up flame me coders just give me what i want and i go back with my cash" again, what for? Ask your question, thank, leave. Whats so hard in that?

Your like a ****ing forum troll.

And i helped you did i? and still you attack me personally? Ego..

[Pathosun]

Lol, I said what I said because you made it clear in your first post that even though you were giving the information I wanted, you were reluctant to do so because I'm just mooching so to speak. You made it very clear with that statement you don't think highly of people like me, apparently, so don't give me that "ego" crap.

Again, I do a million other things to run my server and I don't have to prove anything here. What drives me crazy is that being nothing but nice to you people never gets me on the right foot anyway. I consider myself a "code junky" too but not with C++ and similar languages, only with the web side. I do plenty. If you logged on my server the amount of visible custom content alone would prove how much I do.

But no, I don't compile my own cores yet as much as I would like to say I do. I was pretty up front about that. Call me a 'forum troll' all you want but look at my posts, I never post around here because most of the people are just like you. I'm certainly going to reply to some shithead telling me I don't do any work though.

I'd delete this entire thread if I could now that I have what I want, and that'd be the end of it, but I'm sure it won't be lol.

[Pathosun]

Your a joke is what you are. You claim to be mister nice guy but when someone criticizes you you go off like a j3w. So gtfo if you cant handle it. No one wants to hear your tragic life experience.

Let's keep this about the issue at this point. Address the concern, not what you think about me, as much as I'm getting a real kick out of this attention.
