MuWeb multiple account option

This is something I cocked up some time ago when I had a Mu-Online server and I was sick of all kind of people making 5-100 account just for the fun of it. So what dose this thing do ? It adds to your administrator panel an extra option so you can chose if you want multiple to allow the to have multiple account or not. Hope you find it useful. Here you will find a text file explaining what to add where, or you can download already made files. If you download the archive all you need to do is simply run this in your Query Analyzer.

Code:

---

alter table dbo.memb_info add ip_addr varchar(50); alter table dbo.muweb add multiple varchar(100); INSERT INTO MuWeb (multiple) Values ('1');

Great Work man,
10/10

Excellent...10/10..

up up

very good

thx

good job ;)

only problem is, ppl can use a proxy to create multiple accnts if u try to prevent them, and also some ppl are on routers like me, what if both me and my bro wanna join the same server and the server admin doesnt allow multiple accnts on the same ip?
nice idea, but too many problems

I know that the ppl who have routers are goanna have a big problem, but this is the only thing I could Cooke up without having to verify their e-mail address. and whit the proxy...you can change the script to verify their ip whit the one stored in memb_stat table

nice idea but not gud on a cafe...most ppl played on cafe especially on philippines ;)

Not bad GJ :)

i had on my old server from the philipines over 2000 visitors from the same IP :-|

Their whole country must be on NAT =)
Joking aside, IP/account restrictions have never been a good ideea whether we're talking about trackers or MU servers and as a hack-prevention solution, they're kind of brutal.

Not only that people with routers have a hard time, but they raise a lot of more "earthly" problems:
1. I can't make stash-accounts (yeah, I know we have the /vault command and the webvault and all that but this just works on ALL servers and because I'm so old-fashioned, I prefer this)
2. We now have more than 5 chars on MU, I think it won't be long before someone releases a server with working Summoner (hell, if I could get off my lazy ass maybe I'll dig into coding with all those old 1.01e tuts) - SO, maybe I want to have chars in all classes.
3. Sometimes, I happen to have a high-level/rr char and want to make a char of another class BUT I don't want to go through the slow growing process, so I'll just make another account and grow my small char with my older one.

z3r0_barat: also think of PPPoE (big problem in our country).
Nevertheless, great effort and really clean solution for those who need it ;)

The other alternative is just to delete empty accounts. Anyway a good start and ideea =)

Hmm. What =MasteR= think`s obout it ?

if you want a good and big server dont use it because ppl from net cafe can`t make more than 1 account because no net cafe give ip/pc its 1 IP Routed and with this script cant register more than 1 account,same for small network

nice work.. good idea also

very good idea.
i respect the release, but email verification will always get the job done :D

O rly? Not everyone puts his/her mail, just types asadaasa@saadda.asda (example)

Anyway I think it's useful, thanks :)

How do i enable email ver, using muweb scripts?

e-mail verification that mu web has is verifying if it has "@" and a dot. There are others that are more effective, you can google it

yea u can set it up so it requires something like:
@hotmail.com
@yahoo.com
@gmail.com
at the end or w/e, but not everyone has one of those... for example some ppl use (name)@(theirsite).com, so maybe sending an email using php functions will work, then to activate their accnt, they click a link in the email... it is just like standard email verifactions ;)

you can make too email verification: Send an email with a code to users email and when he enter their code in the case his account will be activated
