Problem with RPGbot
« on: May 10, 2010, 16:03 »
I often use RPGbot to host games of Legion TD, the problem however is that some of the maps have been altered and then uploaded to the bot. The changes made can be used to cheat - for an example in the 1.50b version that is on the bot right now (filename LegionTDWar150bp.w3x), the player can get thousands of resources if he knows how to exploit the changes in the map. There are several other glitches in the altered versions as well. This completely ruins the whole game - imagine in DotA a player suddenly gets 5000 gold, it's pretty much the same thing.

Map's size in Epicwar.com 1060 KB
Map's size in RPGbot         1129 KB   


The official maps are on http://www.epicwar.com, but I cannot upload them because the filename is already used on the bot (by the fake map). I thought I'd upload the real maps to Epicwar under a different name, so I could get them on the bot, but the site scans my upload and tells me that the map already exists in the database. This means there's no way I can play the real maps on the bot.

At the moment, I don't have any good solutions to offer for problems such as this, but I would suggest that one of the admins could remove the glitched map so people could actually play the real official version. It wouldn't take you more than a minute and I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for reading

PS. The version 1.51 is not official.

This is becoming common problem.... people are uploading hacked version of frequently played rpg maps (example could be vampirism fire 5.08b - the 2nd version of map is hacked). However i think that myubernick is coming up with something.
