I've got a spawn prison, right? The right kind, one block width and two block height made by modcrete, so theres no space for anyone new to escape without me letting them out. I've never actually witnessed anyone escaping, and as far as I know that kind of prison is inescapable >_> right? Well, every morning I wake up to a new truckload of grief. I've never seen anyone get in or out or delete the modcrete, and only two people are admin, my girlfriend and me. And one of her creations was destroyed which she spent quite a while on, so I doubt shes the one doing it.
In short, have people figured out a way to escape every kind of spawn prison? Are people cheating their way to being admin? If it keeps up I'm going to have to make my server private, which defeats the purpose of having a server for people to build in =\
It's been happening for about a week now. If it were a one-off, I'd consider maybe its a mistake, but each night I check and double check that its locked and it still happens. I can't lose sleep monitoring the server at night to see how its happening, but it's either some kind of glitch/hack or something to do with grievers making themselves OP. That guy who said he hacked the client sounds plausible.
Client hacks aren't old news. Server update could fix it I suppose. Checking to see if the client ever passes over a tile that's got a block and kick them. Only problem is if they get a lag strike and get kicked for no good reason.
They can be escaped with packet editing, yes. They just send their co-ordinates to the server outside of the box, the admin blocks blocking is client side afaik.
Because certain players frequent the server and come in to build stuff sometimes, which I usually let them in to do before I go to sleep. I don't want to have to shut down my server just to stop a bunch of jerk-offs from wrecking it, the whole grief ordeal is really starting to ruin the game experience for me. Without a reliable way to protect your server (besides making it private, which kind of defeats the point) its not really worth building anything since its just going to be destroyed almost immediately.
Does your server have Name checking? if not then they could be using a Client-side hack to make themselves look like you or an OP and hence just delete the block and replace it...
Actually it wouldn't even take that much to get out of an admincrete box. You can just edit the login packet the server sends to you to change your admin level to 100; Then you can break admin blocks and the official server will do nothing but shrug it off.
Otherwise, yeah, the client and server can let people teleport anywhere they want in the map and there is nothing you can do about it. Server can't even tell the difference between a teleport and normal movement.

Maybe one of you accidentally left it open when you logged off?

B = block, E = empty.
Walk inside, set as spawn point, replace one of the Es with a block, press R and you get teleported up.
Those will be broken by that idea.

Oh, don't worry. It's all complex and stuff and I may as well not bother telling people about it.
I was talking about the idea of checking if the client is inside the box, and the problem it would create with valid techniques.
Anyway, I assume the complex trap can be recreated in a map editor?
Also, try backing upbefore you shut down, Nidis.

Pretty sure that's a bug and not a feature. If not fixed, it would probably make many of the coming game modes pretty lame.

That is seriously f*cked up. You mean that anyone with a packet editor could hijack any server?
