rollling hack? (1 Viewer)

[smokedalot]

is there a program that can make you roll/random high?

 

[grog]

no.

or, if there is one, you won't find it here.

Im pretty sure that is just a rumor i think it is held serverside and generated randomly.

It is done serverside and is supposedly based upon your timestamp vs the server's timestamp, lag, and a random roll.

Ok, I'll go ahead and explain how rolling is done in _EVERY_ MMORPG. The "random" function is basically a math calculation done on your PC time using the ctime library. However, in an MMORPG, the random function is performed on the server side and sent to the clients so it is based on the server's time. That means that the only way to guess a random is to be able to accurately know what the server's time says at any given time and perfectly time a random so that when the server's time when put into the function will bring out your desired roll.

In laymen's terms, a roll hack is next to impossible.

thanks TP, always wondered about that...

A roll hack is brought up every few months on every board I am on. I hope that hacks like this would be at the top of SOE list for prevention since it is designed to hurt other players. While many of the things I do might give me an advantage, they do not directly affect others.

That being said I hope there is more to the random number generated because that sounds hackable to me. Would not be easy tho...

Secondly it seems the easier way would not be to hack the /ran 5 500 instruction but to spoof a message with your roll results hehe...

 

[TeachersPet]

The only way possible to spoof the message would be if SoE managed to fuck up the way message packets were handled and players could send the server message packets that were returned to the client on the same color code as a random.
