The fallensword helper, whilst an approved script, can be user-modified to provide extra functionality that the "core" helper doesn't provide. As such, for those with javascript knowledge, it can - and does - offer the ability to cheat in various facets of the game.
Zorg is reluctant to add the core features into the game - see http://forums.hunted...516#entry873841 for reasons - so, to combat the problem, here's a simple yes or no question.
Should the FSH be banned from the game ?
This is what I will say FSH runs off of GREASMONKEY. As long as we have greasmonkey in the game players will be able to write scripts that run off of greasmonkey.
This is a FACT, im not voting either way since I know the benefits FSH bring to the game, but since it is run off of greasmonkey it will always be open to people making user scripts that bypass the cows security. lets face it they write a script to prevent a script and then all another players has to do is alter that script!
If people need examples i will give you an example of another game that uses greasmonkey ....its called KOC....short for kingdoms of camelot. Here is web site where they provide cheats for KOC.....http://userscripts.o...pts/show/101052. I stopped playing this game years ago b/c every time the game support would fix an illegal script, there were scripters that would have a work around up and running within a few hours.
You can check out the proof here if you like.... I use KOC as my example b/c no one this can use KOC scripts to benefit them in FallenSword. However, it was scriptors just like this who wrote the script for FSH PLUS, which is now banned from Fallensword. However, there is nothing to prevent someone from writing a new script and using Greasmonkey to run it.
AGAIN I AM NOT VOTING EITHER WAY, I JUST FEEL THAT IT IS ONLY FAIR TO SHOW HOW PLAYERS CAN WRITE SCRIPTS AND USE GREASMONKEY TO RUN THEM ON FALLENSWORD.
