A lot of problems

Hi guys! I am brazilian then sorry for any incorrect sentence.
I have been some problems with my server, some not seriuos but still a problem, then i want ask some help if u can.
1. In some maps, i cant remove the spawn flags, when i remove then, it just return in seconds. Someone knows why?
2. In my BC map, all the map is pvp area, not just inside the flags. How can i fix it and let the pvp only inside the flags?
3. In the level 100 quest, when someone complets it and choose the Hellfire Scythe, they just dont get the item. This problem occurs only with the scythe. I can drop it normally by /@get "Hellfire Scythe", and in server.exe the code near the hellfire scythe is wp121 -edit: the archive in openitem folder is ok too, with the same code of the .exe- . Someone knows were's the problem? why the NPC dont give the Scythe?
4. My server registered in few players log a hacking alert with the absorption, only with absorption. I thougt is strange cause i never seen a hacker tool that give only ABS. Even when i am in gm mode it displays a high abs. Then I have been lookin for some of these players in pvp and up, and them die, use potions, like the other normal players. Could it be an error in the game, or its really a hacker, or what? give me your opinion please.

Sorry for the inconvenience, thank you very much:cool:

1/ You use GM 3 to remove it
2/ I don't understand you write
3/ Before you choose a anyitem. You will see a arrow left or right, then you choose item, okie
4/ i think can high ABS or hacking game

2. in your server's hotuk you have a command called:
*PK_FIELD

The "*PK_FIELD" command has a parameter which is Bless Castle map (33 or 34 if I remember correctly). Disable this command or change to other paramater, to make other map as PvP map.

4. try to use Gregoo's guide for hacking alert values.

Zahara may be correct about point 1, but I think his other answers miss the point. Also, (re, point 1) could it be write protection in field files? Vista, 2008 & 7 can restore files altered (or rather virtualise write attempts) by non-admin program, flags and logs are about the only thing server writes, and we don't normally keep logs in Program Files (protected) folder.

Rovarav answers are good, but this still leaves point 3. I think you said that they could choose Scythe, but don't receive it. Please check that item list in server is identical to the one in client. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Thanks guys. As i said, only in some maps i have problem with flags, of course, with the GM3 ativacted. Thanks Rovarav and bobsobol, i will do what u said and post here the result.:thumbup1:

Ah. It's interesting that you say that only some maps re-create flags you have deleted.

You could consider replacing the .SPP file for those fields with a new, blank file. 2400 bytes filled with 0 is sufficient.

These files contain triplets of 32-bit figures which relate to X, Y, and Z co-ordinates of, up to 200 flags. (hostile spawn points)

4 Bytes = 1 32-bit figure (DWord / IEEE float, I'm not sure which is used)
3 co-ordinates.
4 * 3 * 200 = 2400 byte file. :wink:

I fixed the bless castle map and the fags! Thank you guys! The logs with hacking alerts is strange, there is players that i know with these logs, and i know they are not with hacker, Im sure. Now i have other really big problem. There is a player in my server that can do some things really bad, like drop/create any item of the game. This player was already banned from other brazilian servers and now is doing it in my server too, i dont know how he does it. My hotuk has this lines
*LOGIN_SERVER_IP 127.0.0.1
*SYSTEM_IP 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
Anyone knows a possible way to do it or to fix it?
If i configure and uses QuantumFusion's Excalibur tool, this player will be unable to do it? If yes, the Excalibur will ban the players that had logs with HackingAlert and are not using hackers too?

Again, thanks for the tips, you already helped me much, and sorry for the errors.

This ability to perform GM like tasks when you are not GM in the Server is a common hack, it now seems. :(:

Excalibur was a commercial software, QuantumFusion Sold. The people who bought it from him where not allowed to pass copies on to others, and the configuration for "limitations" before hacking ban is implemented would be tailored to the purchasers server... it isn't a general purpose anti-hacking tool, and if you have enough contact with QF to buy Excalibur from him, you should have the contact to specify the limits.

I know M.I.B. has a thread which links, now dead, to a copy of this tool, and also to it's source. If you have the source code... a) I'd like to see it b) You should be able to adapt it's sensitivity to logs (frequency, and extent)

If you are logging on locally (127.0.0.1) how does anyone but you log in to your server? Proxy?
