So I was walking 2 characters on the same board to the bank, when for no apparent reason, Dmon takes a dislike to Blacque, and decides to whack him. Blacque immediately forgives Dmon, as Dmon keeps smacking him around. Check this out....

Mega just decided to pit one character against the other, I guess, see which was better.. never seen this shit before, heh.. none of the other characters in the room at the time were invisible, so that can't be the reason Mega revolted.. Of course we all know mega's a piece of shit (YAY SYN)..

looks like mega set one of them as a monster, which isn't too uncommon unfortunately

This happens all the time on Lunar, but usually in the HOD. randomly attemtping to attack people, I noticed this happening after the release of 1.11n, So it might not have anything to do with Mega completely, probably something Metro changed and it is affecting Mega to attack other players.



Something Metro is awsome in doing, is fucking with something that wasn't broken in the first place.

Yah I've had the same problem before of mega all the sudden setting someone as a monster, be it my char or someone else's.

The problem above, and that you are all describing is a fault in Megamud that occours when either 1: You don't let Mega type 'who' after someone enters the realm that is new and it doesn't set them as a known user, or 2: Your local friendly sysop decided to log on a character "invis" (that is to say in the sysop invisible mode) and yet again, Mega can not classify them as a 'known user'... Therefor: Mega assumes that the names coming after the new 'monster' that is the not 'known user' must be monsters as well and tries to attack them.



In the case of Dmon and Blanqe or whatever the second stupid name was, well... You should have had set warn on and your script would not have proceded to beat the piss out of itself. It would have tried to attack once in that room and then just marked it as a monster and ignored it thereafter.



Hopefully this clarifies a few things for some of you. Lesson complete, you can now return your seats to their proper positions and feel free to purchase a clue on your way out.

Aww, you don't like my dupe's name? Ok, Mr. Clue guy, there were no "invisible" users in the same room, both Aurora and Lex were on the who list, which invalidates your statement. Nor were there any users entering the realm 5-10 minutes before this happened. I was sitting there watching it, it just DID it, no rhyme or reason. Smartass doesn't neccesarily mean your head is smart, Drago.. Oh, yeah, gimme a refund for that clue.

Drago That is the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard.

A: this only started to happen on a grand scale since the release of n.

B: This happens when ALL OPS are visible.

C: This happens when no one is entering/exiting.

D: I have sat in HOD afk for about an hour and just watched Mega attack everyone who is sitting in there, or sys's in.



Synopsis this is a dumb ass typical bullshit problem that was probably created by Metro and one of their bullshit "fixes"

Ok stupid. I've watched my megamud too. I've watched it try to attack characters until it typed 'who' and saw that the names after the one it was trying to attack were characters and it stopped, and I've added an invis sysop character and made it stop attacking. I can't help you fucking retards can't pay attention and make your script work right. Here's a tip for you: If you can't make it work, DON'T USE IT! It's nobody elses fault that you can't make your script work.

A: It's happened since before n.

B: If the op signs in invis and then becomes vis before your char sees it it will attack.

C: You won't see them enter. They're INVISIBLE!

D: Just because you're at keys doing 500 other things does not mean you're watching or paying attention to it.



Synopsis is this: Shut up.
