/Mymodel + force DC hackers

So recently, we have had ALOT of hackers destroying our server, running around, invisible, 1 hit killing monsters, 1 hit killing players in non pvp maps.

Admins say they can't detect them, so I was thinking of an old exploit that used to work, using /hide then use eg "/mymodel char\monster\Monfury\MonfuryABCDEGF.inx" to load yourself as a model, which is renamed so that no one else has that specific model, go next to the invisible hacker and then doing /show, their client will try load your model, but wil be unable to find it, so it will force them to disconnect and then you would be able to check logs for the disconnected account at that precise time.

However /mymodel doesn't appear to be working anymore :( Just get disconnected when you try to use it.

Any help getting this function to work would be awesome, I'm sick of hackers ruining servers for everyone, PTV was taken down by them, and now slowly EPT. It has to stop.

I know this isn't a permanent fix to stop the hackers, but I'm just trying to think of easy things that will help, we've been dealing with this shit for months, Subagams and Yedang haven't done a thing about it...

Thanks

Yes I do know that, but it still leads to a DC once the command is used. So you are unable to move around PT with changed character model file.

I have even tried manually changing characters .dat file, still same problem.

It displays the modified char model in the char selection screen, but once you log into the game you are disconnected.

I am using kpt client 1977 atm.

is the model added to your server & client?

It would sound like your hackers are using an older, and less secure client than the one you are distributing.

You may want to check to find out how they may be able to do that, and get away with it. (I can think of a couple that may work if your only securities are the version, checksum and checkfunc settings in server hotuk)

Well the problem here is this is not my server, it is an official English Pristontale Server ran by SubaGames.

I was jsut asking if mymodel can be used any more, but current client is 3.14.1 and I dont know of any admin hotuk for that or xtrap disable. Which is what I dont want. I just want the admins to be able to use this mymodel code, catch the hackers n ban them...

But these people have NO IDEA what they are doing, the last decent GM Peter left about 8+ months ago, since then the server has gone downhill. Sod ranking doesn't work, BC ranking doesn't work, Clan management doesn't work. NO SOD/BC/CLAN website. And now the server is being raped by hackers 24/7 hogging the hell spawns, killing anyone who even gets close, its insane.

It's impossible to train. I'm tempted to start my own server for EPT, however I would need to bribe my isp to increase my upload speed, 100kb/sec wont cut it.
