THE BEST Anti-Xray Idea

<< < (6/6)

D00MKNlGHT:
Why don't u just ask the dev for perm to use code? XD

Chief149:
To be honest, I wish Optical would give his opinion. Even without an automatic ticket maker this plugin is pure beauty!

You should know enough about it to know that it is illegal.

Now I understand the whole idea of not being able to do a /helpop, but here is an idea that, for the most part, PREVENTS xray without an extremely expensive cpu overhead. Other plugins such as block percentage plugins do nothing but show possible XRay AFTER it happens, and after the ores are removed from the ground. This one catches the Xray users, and if mods get a user complaining about not being able to mine ores, then chances are that user is Xraying (the mod+ can find that out by teleporting to the user and looking at the mining cave/path). Basically you're turning down a perfectly good anti-xray plugin that is better than any I have yet to see, and all because it doesn't automatically do a /helpop ticket.

it's not JUST the fact that we can't add a little /helpop ticket when the plugin is triggered. the fact that it is not an open source plugin is worrisome enough.

we'd be at the discretion of the author alone to wait for updates.

there's no telling what kind of code is actually in the darn plugin. it could have a backdoor for all we know.

it could be plain shitty code. most of the random plugin authors have no clue about how threading works or why their code would cause lag, so we simply can't trust random closed-source plugins

it's an okay concept and it wouldn't be terribly hard to make our own version with some improvements, but right now PVP as at the top of the priority list. there's no need to push that we use this plugin so heavily; we see the suggestion, the idea has been noted, but we're not just going to download it and throw it on the server.
