Mod on Elysium Source Forums.
Not sure if he's on these forums
I don't much look around.
This is all that he provided me
And
As soon as my coders reply to me on Elysium
I'm gonna add it to my game and test it :S

Client-side:

Server-side:

Code:



That should work...just not sure about the AlertMsg, I don't have my source open. For the RunCheat it could be:

Code:



Also don't forget:

Code:



Untested.

why make a cheat system for a mmo?

If the admins want to hack...or let a player hack or something...

If a certain Premium player runs out of coins( if i add Premium, which is a slim chance ), They could enter the cheat
Or
The cheat could be open to everybody, One time use.

cheats are stupid all they do is ruin a game and a economy whats the point of playing an orpg if you have everything you need? letting people get free money makes inflation which will destroy an economy, letting players get items ruins the value of items, letting players become invincible (unless done correctly e.g in runescape with protection prayers or like world of warcraft which is immunity for x seconds) makes training worthless and there is no challenge and ruins PVP.

thats my 2 cents

You could do special events. Trigger something that tells the player when they log in that they get to enter a one time cheat just because they logged on during "Special Event Day". You could do it weekly, or monthly or something. It wouldn't screw with the in game economy too much

I agree with Sonire on this.

I run events in Sakuramisora occasionally for some pretty big prizes considering how easy the events themselves are, but even so I don't run them so often to a point where everyone can't still have fun with the game and community.

Giving people unlimited access, or even a somewhat constant access to the cheat would be a bit much, unless of course the rewards given by the cheat were miniscule or could only be used in certain areas. Like, make a special town or something where the currency is only that particular one given by the cheat, and all of the items you get there are either for those "premium" players, or can only be used in special areas like that. It wouldn't take much coding to pull that off either.

Once you write code for a cheat code, it becomes much easier for any hacker to exploit it.

Quoted for truth, unfortunately.

Rewards for events are easier given in account editor anyway, hehe.

I hear you. I am even going to go so far as to strip out all admin commands and forms from the release client, and keep two separate code bases for admins and regular players. That way there is less likelihood of people abusing things present in the code.

_________________

It's a pain in the buttox to have to edit both the admin and player clients so I scrapped the idea until the game's close to complete. I kept mapping in the main client though.

oh yes, I won't do it right away, I won't do it until the beta is close to a stable release. But I plan on using the admin client as a base, and every time I do a major update just spend the extra couple of minutes stripping it of admin commands before offering it up as a download. shouldn't be too much of a hassle after the first few times.

Put a specific comment on each command you need to remove for the player version so you don't have to scroll through so much text. Even if it's just like:



or something.

*shrug*

Or move all the code that's removed into one module, and just delete the module ;-;

both very good ideas, and ones I', sure I'll end up implementing when the time comes.
