Gm Tool or Locator

[LadyRevenge]

I want something that all of my GMs can use to find out who and where a player is without having database access. If I'm really lucky, maybe one that could read what the player has in their inventory. I guess like a login side edition to the game. Is there a tut that I could learn how to make one or does someone have one they're willing to share? If you do have something and don't wish to post this openly send me a pm.

learn c++ and make one ^^

If I had time to actually sit down and learn C++ thoroughly I would have by now.

The player locator is part of the regular /gm tools. I assume finding out who they are means their login account?

Tracing a character back to it's login and reading the contents of their bag can be done with php scripts. The script would need db access, but your GMs wouldn't see that info since it would ride on the back end of the script.

You would need a small database to make reading their bags actually useful for the GMs though. Without it they will just see a list of index numbers and have no idea what the actual item names are or if it has been +'d. You could also read what the player was wearing at the time, such as armor and weapon.

Check out the admin panel in this post


It still doesn't do all you want but might be useful. I wouldn't recommend letting the GMs use that one though because they can see other player's passwords in it.

After You get all the servers tools and stuff. When ingame press M than type in /GM distribute and it should show the monsters and players.

I already know that and that's not very funny nor is it helpful. Cause if I already have the character's name then I wouldn't be asking for a tool to help me find it, now would I? You should prolly learn to read better if you want to help.

And if I really wanted to find out where a player is more clearly if I HAD the name, I'd just simply use ghostmode then chase the character.

I will agree with you on janvier, he is a genius and I love his helpful updates.

Thank you for your help, but that last part worries me a little. As we speak, I'm working with a rather small crew (just about myself and 2 admins a 1 GM) so I'm not too afraid, but when it comes time to expand I may need something a little less helpful I guess.

Anyway I will be using this PHP tool for now. If anyone else has something different or unique maybe, I'd love to hear.

the problem is that its based on some one else his files mmorpg germany
and i thank them for it
but if i release my controlpanel they will send me 10 pms about them stealing there work
as far af gm tools, use ingame command and the control panel

i was goona do a vote script, and i need to finish that first
after that i can make a script that can look in ppl's inventory
maybe with pictures and item codes

ill release my panel anyway

Umm, yeah, I think I know what you mean, I found the german panel myself too... But it sux dude, the one that is released now is far better then that xD
The german one just lets you edit items in the inventory, stats and level.

Good, but... too bad you put all of your releases in 1 post, so I can thank you only once

[janvier123]

Zombe, they made a new one ? or there is a other one
you have a link maybe ?

Thx

ps: you can thank posts in here

yes it does suck, cuz you need to use MySQL and MsSQL
cant they use php files ?
like the armor and weapons -> Give armor / weapon
you can only select whate is in the mysql
they should pull it from itemetc, itemarmor, itemweapon, .... etc

[Zombe]

See, I reinstalled my windows, so I don't have it. Also, it got rid of all my browsing history, and I can't remember where I downloaded it. But I remember it was ver 1.1

So I don't know if that is updated or not.

o.O, how can you find a player if you don't know who they are or where they are. you'd need to know one of those things in order to find them.

otherwise you're gonna make a program that'll list every single player and where they are... and still how would you know which player is the one you're looking for? lol

That's the thing. I want to know everyone that's on. Even though we're a small crew we manage to work very fast.

And the German panel I know for sure has a link up on ******** somewhere. Check Angelz-World.de or MMORPG-Germany.de if they don't have a post on ******** anymore.

I'm not too worried about the inventory thing. It's just one of those precautions that I want to take incase we get suspicious over someone's gear.

ive got a script that show every player that is currently ingame

------ Character Name ------ ---- Level ---- -------- Class -------- ------ Map ------ ------ Pos. X ------ ------ Pos. Y ------ ------ Reborn ------ ---------- Login ----------
pretty handy for GM's
