yes true, but why get more workers to cover up a hole when we can just wall it up so they won't have to use up their time. :? this prevents (almost all) hackers more moderators slows down hackers

Um, bump ... I hate hackers :(

Hey everybody! Here is a fun game that I play with my friends sometimes and the goal is simple. All you need is google and a calculator (google can be user :mrgreen: ) You take a random object for an example : tanks Then you do 4 searches "I love tanks" "I like tanks" "I dont like tanks" (better results from dont than don't) "I hate tanks" Each time you record the number of results -> include the "" ! Love About 94,300 results (0.25 seconds) Like About 473,000 results (0.24 seconds) Dlike About 132,000 results (0.27 seconds) Hate 1 result (0.21 seconds) Then you add together love and like , dont like and hate Good = 567300 Bad = 132,001 Then you divide bad by good : 567300 / 132,000 = 4.29772727273 So for tanks you get a score of 4.2977 ! Can anyone get higher?

On another note: does tanki have any anti cheat mechanisms other than /vote ?

This is not doing any detection whatsoever, this is making it extremely difficult for memory hacking whuch is what cheat engine is used for. If you meant always nitro cheat, then you can use the above code for the nitro timer as well. Edit: in a nut shell it moves the values around so cheat engine cannot pinpoint it, having no effect on the game its self

My eyes hurt :shock:

From what i picked out of tha translation, you dont understand what this code does. Let me explain When cheat engine attempts to locate a value it searches for changes in values (like when health goes up) but it receives more than one value so must then narrow this down. To do so a second search is done to find out which of the values is the correct one. But it will have changed location in the memory so it no longer resides within cheat engines results and will almost always return to the user that it could not locate the value. So therefore they have no control and cannot do anything. Due to the fact that the value must change for them to work out what they are going to change, the value can be shifted elsewhere at the same time as to escape the value being found and changed.

I woud love to help which is why I gave the sample code. But without seeing any source code there is not much else I could give. On a side note this techinue would be applied to all values that could give a hacker an adavantage eg Health Firerate Position/velocity/speed ect Does anyone know how to get in contact with the programmers of tanki so they could do a few test runs? The quicker this is tested the quicker the hackers may be gone =D

Hi everyone! I just got a anti cheat system which can be put to use in tanki that will make hacking extremely rare and tools obsolete! here is some sample code of what tanki may have. var velocityX = 100; function setVelocityX(x) { velocityX = x; } function getVelocityX(x) { return velocityX; } now a hacker could easily locate 'velocityX' using scanning techiniques so to solve this you chnage it to this. var velocityX = [-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]; // 10 array slots var vxPos = 0; // which slot to use function setVelocityX(x) { velocityX[vxPos] = x; scrambleVelocityX(); } function getVelocityX(x) { var vx = velocityX[vxPos]; scrambleVelocityX(); return vx; } function scrambleVelocityX() { var s = Math.round(Math.random()*9); velocityX[s] = velocityX[vxPos]; velocityX[vxPos] = Math.random()*1000; // or could be just -1 vxPos = s; } /// may have compile errors but you get the point what do you think? can tanki be hacked (easily) with this in place? Note: this is to combat 'cheat engine' users.

Prepare for a tornado. Even with significant advances in tornado prediction and tracking, you seldom have much time to prepare when a tornado actually strikes. Planning ahead is the most important thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving a tornado. Read the accompanying article for more information on how to prepare for a tornado and how to recognize the signs of an impending tornado. Move to shelter. At the first sign of a tornado, or if a tornado warning has been issued, stop whatever you're doing and seek appropriate shelter immediately, even if you don't see a tornado. http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-a-Tornado replace tornado with spank =] -- I send stupid things over Skype to friends =]

why is it so hard for tanki to implement an anti cheat system? LOOP IF player.position.y > stage maximum height THEN call warn moderators. if player.crystalsPerSecond > 4 call WARN MODS if player.position is ontop of house call warn mods if player.hasWarning THEN IF distanceFromLastPosition > (furthest they can go plus a bit more) SHOUT AT THE MODERATORS I mean what can hackers do? fly about a bit where no player can go? if a player is detected on a house (the ones you can't get on) in silence then call the mods. if they are inside a collision box then call the mods. and every time a detection is made have the message displayed to all players (there may be a hacker in this map, you can vote to report them using '/vote player_name') really, nice game appreciate the effort, but this is now a task that needs addressing where a simple vote will not work. also as soon as a player is caught doing something odd, stress out their hardware with tons of checks for speed to find out if they are cheating, check their velocity and come to conclusions if that would be possible. remember, the hacker does not need a friendly experience so as soon as they are found doing anything lower there frame rates and perform multiple checks! None of this will affect performance of innocent users (unless tanki made a terrible design mistake) thankyou if you reply ps. i got a little stressed out today, first time meeting a hacker. :x

You are at your computer happily playing tanki when suddenly your computer crashes and won't boot. You reach out to get a CD but it becomes razor sharp and cuts you. You faint into darkness. My fear is of koolwalky.

the aim of this game is to have a full conversation Using only quotes from well known text, or famous people, movies ect. To keep the humour, please put quotes in speech marks and the source of the quote next to it. Eg. Hulk "you don't like me when i get angry!" Have fun!

What?... How is that long?

Hi I know thus has come up before but... I can't get tanki to start on my touchpad.(android) It shows the loading screen for about 20 seconds then goes blank. And before you even mention anything about "it would be laggy" It can run minecraft with 128x128 textures smoothly. 8) Has anybody been on tanki on android in the past month, or has a device to test it on Because i am lost. Thanks

oh!!! I understood your wording backwards! :mrgreen: I thought it ment that they will GIVE US flash player 11 last as in before other os's

I strongly suggest you re word the title of this thread :roll: (just edit your first post) just make it clear that its adobe you are annoyed about not Linux :wink:

ok... so what's the problem? :? I have been playing tanki for the past 2 hours on linux - ubuntu - google chrome - flash player 11 (have I missed something? has tanki 2.0 come out?)

what are you talking about? I have Linux, I have Flash player 11 QUESTION why are you so negative about Linux? I have been using windows for 12 years and just last week switched to Linux because I find that it works better :) I don't have anything against windows except that I prefer Linux. Do you have something against Linux? Because it can't be jealousy because you can go and get it for free now :P try ubuntu, if you don't like it don't use it, simple. oops... ignore me

PC for me... but I do prefer the open source linux because I know that my limit is myself.

I never really thought about this before but if adibe is no longer supporting flash gor mobile devices then i will never get to play tanki 2 on my new tablet! it has the specs to run tanki but wil never get the next flash upgrade! do you think tanki will leave a flash player 10 version for us?

i pity those with the weird opinion of browsers :cry: To be honest it wouldnt actually matter because it is FLASH running the game not the browser :D

I think it would be great if our rank (for entering games) was based on the highest ranked item you are currently using. Here are some points I had thought about. - Talented players going into noob games. This could be a problem but there is nothing stopping them making a second account. - Just-Leveled players will not be at a disadvantage when they get promoted. This would be benificial to us but could be bad for the income of tanki because of how they make money so what do you think?

um guys... when i said can you beat that I was talking about how SMALL you could et the specs before it is unplayable :mrgreen:

Did I mention this is amost smooth? the odd bit of jumpyness every 20 seconds.
