' Wrote:Yes he originally sad that and then sad about just pulling down the info for SP use.
I really WISH I had a foolproof way to detect macros that was guaranteed to work even if the user was running a custom one they had programmed. If I did have it I would retire after I sold the code to Blizzard (the people that make WOW) for millions of pounds.
Belive me under the current (and this isnt likely to change in the next 10 or so years) windows architecture if a program makes a call to the win32 AP for lets say; press the enter key, the system CAN NOT tell if it was a human who hit the key on the keyboard of the program that asked for it. To windows its all the same.
And like I said even with the one way system of just downloading to SP it still opens the server up to attack.
OK i get it, but hell, makro doin' all the work for you takes exactly as much time as you doin' it yourself.
So what is precicely the problem even if somebody pulls that off? He did not do damage to other players, he only earned money 'the lazy way' but for other players it is exactly the same thing: he driving the route or makro doin' it for him.
How about same route detection? nobody has the nerves to drivbe same route (very long one that makes it worth while) more than five times, do if takeoff/landing has exac locations five times, busted. That doesn't sound difficult to write!
