Getting user computer ID - MTCool - 25.03.2013

Hey guys
I noticed that LS-RP has a secret word system that basiclly if you register you put a secret word with a password
and it never asks you to put the secret word until your from another computer
so basiclly I think it works on computer ID
but how can you get computer ID in samp?

Re: Getting user computer ID - kamzaf - 25.03.2013

no it doesnt work on computer id, its most likely an IP address that the script checks to see if its the same or different, if its different IP (possibly meaning different computer) then it will ask you for the secret word, if not it will continue.

There's a function that get's something similar....It's really inaccurate though, can't remember what it's called

native gpci(playerid, serial[], len);

That is a forbidden function, isn't it?

Actually, it will help you very much. If you are trying to ban someone who is using a proxy, they can continuously come back, over and over, as there IP will be changed, where as if you ban them by there GPCI (computer serial) that computer is banned from the server, and your GPCI cannot be changed, not ever. (Unless you buy a new computer.)

You'd be better off just logging IP addresses and using those for this type of system, rather than the unstable gpci function.

(sorry if that made no sense, I'm tired as hell right now)

You can also catch people in it who did nothing

Actually, yes that is what is is. Your GPCI is your computer serial code that no other computer has. Which would make even a more accurate ban than a range ban.
