Fixed an exploit where users could use one forum account to gain plat bonuses across multiple steam accounts.
Well, he came clean about it, and there's no trace if other people used it. But it's in place so it can't happen again.
If we had, I would have tested it and fixed it sooner. No, we haven't. Your herpes on the other hand, we have.
We discussed something else a while back, but it wouldn't work either way and you couldn't get it to work either. Nope, I'm clean.
Just to explain what the exploit did - User paid for Platinum User then linked account User's friend then linked to same account Both users would gain platinum for that map Person who originally paid would lose platinum, would have to relink Person's friend would still have it until the next map And so on. The problem was is that the script (ask Ben or Cpf, they're the ones who originally wrote this, I just ported it) it only checked to see if the SteamID was ever in use. It never checked if the forum account actually had the field. This enabled this exploit which has now been closed. It wasn't a question of dirty code (and my code isn't dirty ) or bad scripting, it was just a check was never put in place to ensure this couldn't be done. This check is now in place and people can't do this. By the way, this exploit has existed for well over three years, and possibly dates back to the old PHPBB3 forums. And the reason your exploit doesn't work Whitefang is because I check to see if the ent even exists in a table before we go any further.
Your code is dirty because you have a nag to put BBRP.*** infront of every fucking function when it doesn't need to be global.
Tabled function. So what, and if you're going to localize something which is used often, you're going to give the garbage collector a heart attack, thus causing more crashes than really wanted. Localisation of functions is only ideal if it's not used that often.
I just thought. I've done this before when I switched steam accounts. I never play deathrun on the other account, and I asked teddi to help me out. Surely you must of noticed it then.
Whitefang ment "Security" in general of "Everything". One man with lots of Bots won´t fix everything. Also with the forum´s exploits of being slow due to porn spamms from the interwebz of teddi bears.
