How can i block macro mouse tool on my pt server?
Today I saw this in my server logs : Warning MacroMouse
I dunno if you have it too , but if yes , just add it to ErrorLibary of PT Protector (by DK).
But I think it's hard because even UniquePT have macro on their server and they can't stop it , only ban who got reported.
Macro is enabled by the Windows OS... for OS that it is not enabled, it is possible to add the ability.
The solution to ensuring that Macros are not used is to insist your players run the game from Read Only media on a games console, not a PC. PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii should be fine.... oh wait... PT doesn't support those platforms... hmm. :wink:
Well, you could distribute your client as an ISO with linux live! edition encrypted on it, and Wine running the game as soon as the system boots... in place of a desktop manager. I don't think many players would be keen on having to power their machine down, and reboot off a DVD to play your game, then reboot with the disc out to get back to their desktop... but that would do the trick. It still wouldn't stop hardware auto-mouse and auto-click devices, but it would stop software macros.
Short of that, you will have to rely on your "terms of service" and simply BAN users who insist on using hardware and software macros.
