L2J Server

How do i deny the use of bot programs on my server?

I use L2Jdp server:
Server Version= 3180
Datapack Version= 6279

thanks for attention.

You can't. Even with GG enabled you can't.

Well, you can, the same way than with other L2J versions :

1) go invisible
2) follow suspected players
3) if bot confirmed, look at IP and delete the bot, all characters played from that IP and ban the IP
4) have a web page explaining that common procédure when a bot is found is to ban the IP and delete all characters and accounts from that IP. If bots are found, keep your player base informed

Having a zero tolerance policy, making it clear and spending some time to identify the bots (whispers are not enough, transforming yourself in antharas then appearing before the suspected bot to see reaction may be a valid way <grin> be creative and avoid repeating the same thing again and again... If you can do it as a "mini event" it's even better)

Hi,

This is an interesting point of view but what will happen if the player who uses bot programs login from an Internet cafe that 10 or more players login.?? They are few or zero internet cafes that use specialized software to give it's machine different IP. So, in the case that the Bad Player login from the Internet cafe it's unfair to ban the all players login with different account... It's a big issue, but i don't think that banning IP's will solve the problem. It's better to focus on player account... Also keep in mind that a lot of players use dynamic IP so banning the IP will not solve it at all...
Thanks for listen me...

Ban the freaking IP-range! yay no more people from their ISP ^^

Nah just messing well that could be a possibility everyone has their own way of getting rid of people. Some do Ip-range bans some do account bans and some do just single ip ban.....some even jaill

1) If someone uses a bot, he needs to either use a clan WH or dual-boxing to transfer the items/adena to another character. Keep track of the transactions and check the transactions between the bot and the other characters, this plus checking the dualboxing will help you find the accounts of thar cheater

2) Jail and the cheater will wait until the character is out of jail and grab the benefits from his botting. Delete all characters from the cheater and he won't keep any of the items/adena he got from botting

3) If someone has a flat-fee, he is likely to keep the same IP for long times (computer staying online for game, E-Mule/Bittorrent/..., servers,...). If you know that you've no other player from same range, you may ban the whole range without problem

4) Net-cafe are unlikely to let people change the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file by the users... They are also unlikely to let people install their own programs on their computers (which include bots)

try something like:

1 - champions overpowered, remove their aggro, so if is a player he will know should not hit the mob, the bot will dont know who attacks, champions and mobs have same ID.

2 - create a unamed item and dont create a client support for it, so it will drops invisible and without the name the bot can't know what not pick up. So they will only can bot dying to champions and autopick up disabled... Nice no?
