COL. KNIGHT Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I wanted to be sure of something. when you use this tool it is actually taking a screen shot of what that user sees on his screen? Also is there some way we can make this tool just ramdomly take screen shots of players with out having to log in as admin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyCo Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yes, it takes a screenshot of what the user sees on his screen. It also produces a text file with some detailed information about the user. For now to take screenshots you have to manually do it. You can not set it up to be automatic.

COL. KNIGHT Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 You know I dont now anything about programing but from what I have read on XML you can pretty much make it do what ever you want. Any XML programers out there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCO*AFZ* Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Also note (but is being worked on with possiblility of auto screenshot) * and other tag symbols will not create a screenshot due to the file name being the peeps name. Look for fix in next patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 omg - I think I love you Wiking. Cant believe I missed those options when I looked through the server console settings. Any chance of some info on the other settings, such as 'clan match' etc? (Pretty please with cherries on top!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 This works a treat - have it set on both our servers and its capturing screens. One question though Wiking, does it capture RANDOM players or ALL players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattiasWiking Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It goes trough all players on the server and get a SS from the first player. Then when its time for a new SS it takes it from the next player and so on. And then start all over with the first player again. // Mattias Wiking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCO*AFZ* Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ahh didn't know that was Live Wiking lol! Thought that was for next patch. Beaver... I think this should be added to the TDM at TWL for admins to grab screenies. 800x600 i think will suffice as long as we can read there names.

COL. KNIGHT Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok I got it running on mine and it works great. I was woundering can I set up ingame msg by using the same format? Also server admin we really should come up with a place were we can share screen shots of what we might find and add them to a comunity ban list...

Sorry for being indistinct. // Mattias Wiking No problem just got a little confused and at my age thats happening alot ... Regarding a comment about a place for us to post screenies for a community banlist do we know yet if we can run a custom banlist and how to command it to load when the server starts ??

COL. KNIGHT Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) there should be a folder on your server with a xml file called banlist. If im not mistaken and regaurding the community it should be by invite only. That way no unwelcomes get in.. Edited September 18, 2007 by COL.

If im not mistaken and regaurding the community it should be by invite only. That way no unwelcomes get in.. Thx for that, I know where the banlist is .. What I meant is .. Is there a method to create a custom banlist that is completly seperate from the system one and have that load up also. If there is a way of doing it then it would make AC organisations life easier to support this game. Another problem is authenticity verification of screenshots because no AC organisation will be happy taking a screenie at face value it must be verified. But I think if the server/clan admins of the Graw2 community pulled together then we could have a global banlist available so at least we are all on the same page when it comes to keeping our servers clean !! However to do this i we must find a way of loading a custom banlist. I will have a look to see how the official banlist loads later ..

Chrisp Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 After turning on autoscreenies, i have noticed that names starting with i.e [ and = does get taken.. havent seen any * tho, so not sure about that one... But if i manually from consol try to take screenie of anyone with i.e [ it turns up with "command failed". Can anyone confirm if autoscreenshot captures names starting with * or not?

But if i manually from consol try to take screenie of anyone with i.e [ it turns up with "command failed". Can anyone confirm if autoscreenshot captures names starting with * or not? Hi. The problem in v 1.40 is that the file system can not save filename's with a * in it. This have been changed and will be patched. Regarding that a player with a [ turns up as "command failed" is new to me. I look into it. Please try both capturing him on his nickname and his player id. To get all player id's use /list in the console or chat. // Mattias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im not mistaken and regaurding the community it should be by invite only. That way no unwelcomes get in.. I would suggest the screenshots be public... or at least any that you have confirmed need banning. Peeps should have a right to challenge it. Heck maybe they had a friend on the other team telling coordinates or something.' Just my 2 cents. Wiking... Hoping patch will come soon... Currently our clan and many others can't be screenshotted because of our tags. Thanks for working through it with me so you can get it fixed.
