Title: X-ray mod... Please tell us...
Post by: morgosin on February 28, 2012, 03:35:00 am
Hello, If someone ever sees an X-ray... or even suspects an X-ray please tell us.

Don't be afraid of relatiation... They would be banned shortly if it truly is an X-Ray. This is a Survival Server, and we want the best possible atmosphere for our players, and X-ray mods take away from the fairness of the server.

Please if you see anything suspisous that looks like an X-Ray, or a hole going straight down please let us know.
Who Knows.... You might be rewarded...

Yes, please tell any mod if you see any x-ray mod proof. If anything looks like it tell us. We can help.

And that is? :P

"hole going straight down"

Srry Xeadin I didn't see that when I posted but I still wanna know if there are other signs.
I'm also curious, is it possible for a mod to really know if someone is using mods?

Tell tale signs of x-ray mods. Straight down mines that jump and turn to different minerals.

I found a cave not far from South Town, that looked like straight lines. I'll see if I can find it again.

I just still don't get why people break the rules and install mods?!?!
It's not fair D: but if you can catch one - epic!

I dig straight down near my house sometimes... When I go to my /home I get lag and see underground so I tunnel a lot.

Everyone, you don't have to post here when you find something. It would be much easier for us to help in-game.
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Plz tell us...
Post by: Xeadin on February 28, 2012, 09:23:33 pm
What would be most important is if you could tell us the coordinates of the suspected usage of such mods or show screenshots to support the use of said mods.

And yes, only reply here of your suspicions if there are no mods on in-game

Banned a user for suspected x-ray mod usage: ohurro. Lots of tunnels that led straight down and straight towards pockets of ores without any second-guesses and tunnels weren't even lit by any torches. These tunnels also avoided/ bypassed lava lakes.


This is an example of how we determine if one is using an x-ray or any other type of mod. If there are multiple witnesses (in this case, me and a couple other moderators) to this that can deduce the missing blocks and find patches of mined ores and determine that the tunnels aren't just random chance, or any other types of evidence for any other mods used, we will withhold that as sufficient evidence to the supported claim.

Just to let you guys know, I dig straight down in my mine sometimes. Don't usually find anything but lava. :/
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Plz tell us...
Post by: Kian1354 on February 29, 2012, 03:49:26 am
I normally dig straight down and just keep mining in a straight line and just warp home when I'm done... I hope you guys don't accidentally ban an innocent person  ;)

Lol..
I have seen so many straight tunnels that pass from my mineshaft and are like someone has used Xray mods.
Who did I understood it? Nowhere torches existed.. Someone used that mod, because probably just the X-ray texture pack has not an automated option for light.
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Plz tell us...
Post by: Skepter on February 29, 2012, 04:41:28 pm
torches.......hmm... I never seem to have torches whenever i go mining - probably coz i'm too lazy to carry any.
I keep my precious coal in my furnace

How do you see then while you are mining?
Wierd...?!?!?!?!
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Please tell us...
Post by: Skepter on March 01, 2012, 06:03:10 pm
I have my brightness on bright otherwise, I find it hard to see......so I go mining with someone else so they can supply torches

This link here's should help to solve x-ray mods:
Anti-Xray mod on bukkit (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ore-client-obfuscation/)

I know the location of one of the xray mines, please contact me ingame whenever you have the time.

I think a lot of people use strip mines, so as long as you stay to straight paths it should be fine xD

On topic:
I currently own 6 Coal Ore plots... Personally I think you have more versatility using Coal Ores, so they are better.
But then a large plot would be very useful if you have a large project or a redstone project or a spawn trap etc.
:P

Yeah I want to be able to play fair on the server without anyone cheating and using xray and remember same goes for griefing too

how long do you get banned if you have x-ray?
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Please tell us...
Post by: RedstoneManny on April 06, 2012, 08:25:06 am
I'm not yet an smp player (having some problem with my prepayed card and didnt buy the full game yet) but... what about installing in the map some x-ray trap??? I think something like grief-trap in classic server.
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Please tell us...
Post by: Rezathin (Logan5353) on April 06, 2012, 08:33:21 am
Xray bans are very long if not permanent. Also, x-ray traps wouldn't really work but we do have grief traps on SMP.
Title: Re: X-ray mod... Please tell us...
Post by: RedstoneManny on April 06, 2012, 09:23:50 am
but we do have grief traps on SMP.
I was thinking something like that... just a fake chest under a lot of nothing deep underground...nothing but x-ray could lead you there and if you click BOOM! ;)

And what if you come across it accidentally?

Post by: RedstoneManny on April 06, 2012, 10:56:26 pm
If you put in the deep and with only dirt around its almost impossible i guess. By the way in case of ban appeal it will be easy to check the tunnel that led the "unfortunate" player there.
