KyleMassacre Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hey everyone!!! I was wondering if there was a simple way to stop people from bookmarking items in there inventories? If so, what are some potential downfalls to it if any? I have considered to update the inv_ids in the itemuse file or maybe in the inventory file but im assuming that it may eat up a lot of rescources slowing down the game with the constant db queries. Any help you give is much appreciated, thanks.. Quote
Djkanna Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I am confused, what exactly is the problem with bookmarking items? Quote
KyleMassacre Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 I am confused, what exactly is the problem with bookmarking items? Maybe im just a stickler and dont like the fact that they can just sit there and do a bunch of bookmark switching all day non-stop you know Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 The easiest way would be to have some sort of use once URL. So basically you have a token parameter which change every click, and will be checked. With such system you cannot bookmark anything. Quote
Dominion Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Personally as long as they can't use items they don't have I wouldn't worry about this kind of thing. You will end up with the same thing happening just with the user clicking "use" rather then loading a bookmark of the itemuse page. You will annoy the users that do it, and of course, add more loading time to the server since they have to load 3 pages rather then one. Minimal I would hope, but still... Or is there as specific problem with them doing it (e.g. they are cheating) ? Edited March 28, 2012 by Dominion Quote
