Avoid cheaters vdice plugin (no java script/version mobile)

[Shinobi]

I'll post this on the vdice plugin as well, but I'm asking here taking in consideration the possibility of doing something apart from the script in order to avoid the possibility of cheating.

I'm making a pokémon rpg, and there's a "pokémon encounter" board, and when you go there, you create a thread and you get a custom post template (plugin in the library), requiring you for some information to fill, and when you create the thread, you get a lot of generated dices from the plugin, to get different stats and information of the pokemon you have encountered, so what is the problem here?

Well, when you are without javascript or on version mobile, you actually can see the generated unique code from all the dices from the plugin, so if a person on version mobile copies one of the previous made encounters, they get the same result as the one they have copied, so I'm worrying that people do it, and yeah, I might find out if the copying was made from a recent capture of encounter, but let's say after 6 months, that someone copies a pokemon from 6 months ago, it would be almost impossible for me to find out. So... do you think of something I could do to avoid this or maybe a way I can find out instantly?, I was thinking on detects when a thread it's identical, but that means the user would just need to add a space more or something else more to bypass it.

Thank you!

Hi

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about that as you can not modify the mobile version, and no code/plugin will have an affect on it. Erm, not sure what you can do as long as you want to continue using the plugin.

I was thinking on maybe a plugin that allow users to access boards where they couldn't without a plugin?, but I bet this is not possible, right?

I'll see if Virgil can do something, without this, the whole project won't work as planned

Thank you!

Hi Shinobi,

You can try the plugin here: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/280

While it won't currently work on mobile devices, we do have plans to update the mobile version to work with plugins in the future.

Actually, I already had the plugin, and I haven't even tried (not even for the computer), so I'll test it on the computer, but since it didn't work on the mobile version, I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Regarding to update the mobile verson to work with plugins, would this mean users won't be able to bypass plugins?, you have no idea how happy I am to read this, I was disappointed because I really want to open this rpg, but this have really worried.

CheatAreZee when do you think this will be implemented?

Thank you!, You have given me hope! XD

[CheatAreZee]

I can't really say too much on it just yet on what to expect, because as far as I know those details haven't been finalized just yet. I mainly mentioned it just to give you the heads up that we are looking into ways to allow plugins to function on the mobile view though. As you can probably tell from what was just noted, it's in the very early stages, so it may be a while before it's implemented.

[Shinobi]

Is there anyway I can know who published on the mobile version in my forum?, or something to get this?

but anyways, I have a lot to work on my forum, so I don't need it for right now, haha

thank you

When someone makes a post with a mobile device, it'll say 'via mobile' next to the timestamp of the post. You can use this post as an example, as its being made from a mobile

[Shinobi]

Does that even appear for the first post? (using create thread), if it yes, then my problem is partially solved until you guys add the plugins for mobile device , which would be awesome!

And as last question, is it possible to filter on the logs or on the search only mobile posts in certain boards?, or this is not possible?

Thank you Ricky, you are very kind.

[CheatAreZee]

It'll display in any post made with mobile

In regards to filtering, however, unfortunately that's not currently possible. Sorry.
