AV update

[Avronax]

According to the update that Henhouse posted, AV is available for a new MaNGOS update. However, the Warden system is not there anymore. Warden is the system that detects hacks and reports it to Henhouse. (Of course the disconnections and the ban that follow the reports) Also there have been accusations that Warden is the source of the "teleport bug" on Smolderforge which was the fact that sometimes you may teleport back a few steps, or your would get stuck when falling or climbing a mountain. If Warden is removed, we would need to rely on user ScreenShots if any hackers are spotted. It also would not be our fault for any match lost due to fly or speed hacking if it is not reported.

This has not been talked to a lot by the GMs, but I just wanted to hear your opinion, and I got to make a pole. :p

Hehe, I actually already fixed the conflict myself. Sorry I didn't post it :).

Running tests in a few minutes!!! !I!O)!I!)! :OO

In addition to your post, it doesn't get reported to me(the old OLD bad one did) it simply teleports you back and doesn't allow any fly hacking or anything. If you teleport hack your instantly teleported back to place.

If you're massively sending server packets to the server(speed hacking, etc) it'll disconnect you.

Honestly Warden has never bothered me, other than the very lame resurrect bug where if you move while rezzing you get owned by warden, but small talk. Just a question before I do vote, is it that big of a prevention to hackers? Like does it really stop them?

YES. We have never had 1 single teleport, speed or fly hacker since. It's been so revealing.

But you do not need to vote. I simply merged the changes myself.

The only hacks it doesn't detect are the faction changing and some crazy 40 second debuff thing which we've only seen 2-3 times. Other than that it's quite good.
