You have to download the EvoL client because I've changed little things in source code, like translating in french as you noticed. But there is also few modifications in order to add some functions like general chat (using the "announcement"), GM announcement in a textbox, limit in using objects (you have to wait 10 seconds until you can use an another potion...), solving the "bow cheat" (even if you walk, you can't shoot until you've wait 6 seconds)... By the way, as I'm not so skilled in C++ dev so it's a kind of "do-it-yourself"...Crush wrote:As far as i can tell the only changes at the EvoL binary are the strings that have been translated to french. I don't understand either why evol uses its own updater instead of just delivering all the content through the update system of tmw.
Restricting the posibilities of the user client-sided is quite dangerous. It is very easy for the user to hack this restriction away. Especially in an open source application.KaTSuo wrote:[...] limit in using objects (you have to wait 10 seconds until you can use an another potion...), solving the "bow cheat" (even if you walk, you can't shoot until you've wait 6 seconds)...
Yes I know it. That's why I said it's "do-it-yourself" lol. At this point, my community is composed by young people so I don't think they are skilled in developping. Anyway, it's not a problem right now. Those client-side features will be port on TMWserv when it'll be released.Crush wrote:Restricting the posibilities of the user client-sided is quite dangerous.
