AFK check idea

[Johnny Warren]

John Warren... I have to ask.. with the time I have known of you, and seen you around. You have never changed those drab colors you wear.. (at least I cannot recall if you had) Is there a specific color that you have your eye on? Because, there are quiet a few available colors right now, and you don't seem to use more than the few you currently do.

Is this some kind of impulse, that you need to feed a want, you and many others will likely never utilize? (actually very curious.)

I change my colours per annum. The current set are new for 2024, I was orange in 2023. You can see in my forum sig my colours from 2021. Sadlyy, when I go to change my hues there's not many decent hues to select from.

I'll free my hue I don't care

I was able to get control of my old guild back and therefore have access to the colour from when I was a newbie. Quite pleased about that.

I still support freeing the hues!

The current systems are fine. They just need to be implemented. Since +K left I Have been AFK checked twice I think. I see a few bots running non-stop in my timezone. We simply need more enforcement and heavier punishments.

Are you volunteering to do the AFK checks for +C?

It's not fine. It's incredibly boring manual work. Which is why it isn't getting done.

I can't really test it since I don't have an example to test on, but you can find your own body ID (male/female) and match against that to eliminate opposite-sex doppelgangers. You can also find the items you have equipped, then save the ID and color, etc of them. Then compare against the item ID of the objects found on the doppelganger. (This is the part I'd want to test some more). Once you have your target, you just compare your position vs their position and move in their direction with a walk command. Can also compare names of self vs target if it's like "Shadow of Eremite", etc.

The shadows and their equipment are gray. They're named "Shadow." Their equipped items are nameless, the paper doll is inaccessible and the slots that don't show on the character walking around are filled with random items. For the NPCs who aren't you, some of the random items will show and be visibly different than you. Oh, and the closest electronic match for the items on your character may be on an invisible character or a character at a z coordinate under the ground which wouldn't render on the client.

You might eventually be able to code for it, but you'd get busted about a couple dozen times first.

The only issue I have about the AFK is when it asks me what color and I'm color blind.
