Just because you can't see them doesn't mean their info isn't in memory, the memory scanning works as it should.

Having said that all a GM needs to do is change it's characters name or log a different character and then that "precaution" is useless.

find

Code: Select all

				--players
					if settings.profile.options.playerDETECT == true then
						for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
							if v.Name == obj.Name then --name in table already
								playerexists = true
							end
						end

and change it to

Code: Select all

				--players
					if settings.profile.options.playerDETECT == true then
						for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
							for l,m in pairs(friends) do
								if v.Name == m then
									playerexists = true
								end
							end							
							if v.Name == obj.Name then --name in table already
								playerexists = true
							end
						end

This will go through the friends table at the top of the file and basically ignore any names in it, the names must be exact though.

Code: Select all

-- ignores whispers by characters in the friends table, the names must be exact.
local friends = {"someone","someoneelse","whoever"}

Not going to add a file as I don't know where BlubBlab is up to with his version.
This is untested but should work.

works with name: someone

						if playerexists ~= true then
							table.insert(playertable,{Name = pawn.Name, ptime = os.time(), alarmsounded = 0})
						else

						if playerexists ~= true then
							print(pawn.Name.." added to the following table")
							table.insert(playertable,{Name = pawn.Name, ptime = os.time(), alarmsounded = 0})
						else

I'm not sure about that I have the feeling that they can ove through the game recently like in a read only mode

I agree with you. I can't see any reason why the GMs couldn't have an option to have the server not transmit their info to clients thereby making them invisible to the clients. Then they could move around and watch people without being detectable. Of course such a feature might not exist.
