dupers on TSW

[aahz]

After long time i checked all chars on TSW for dupes and it found quite a lot :

edit: It was indeed caused by glitch in MXLOT dupe check, realm it's probably clean
Sorry for the false alarm...


what to do do with them?
I admit I don't want to spend more time with it, but it irks me...

I can use script to
a) delete all chars with duped items
b) lock all acounts of those chars

what do you think?

Thank you for the hard work aahz! I guess it would be best to wait until Marco logs on and reads this topic. Nothing more constructive to add from me apart from BURN THEM ALIVE

[aahz]

maybe I was being too hasty...when I tried to check some of the chars, MXLOT (special version with dupe check) couldn't open them
Kambala thinks thats because he doesn't have sources of XVr patch - any chance of giving them to him so he can update that dupe check version I use?
anyway I cannot know for sure if I can believe those results so I'll wait either way..

will look into this when im back tomorrow. Was bored the other day cuz it was raining so i started with tsw admin panel.

The site is http://tsw.median-xl.com , but it remains empty.
To log in: http://tsw.median-xl.com/login.php - using TSW credentials.
If admin privilegues are on, and cgs set to 255, you can access http://tsw.median-xl.com/admin.php

There's a cool interface to search users by username, IP, windows acc name, etc. Then there's a possibility to select them and ban them with a reason. That will fill some new fields on the diablo database, including a ban time too. In the future this will let us have cool banlists, and maybe even display the ban reason when user tries to log in (not sure if possible though).

I was thinking though, for better performance, maybe make a new table just to handle bans separatedly?
