My thread for a new cheat called "SpiderX v3" was wrongly deleted for "internet connectivity":

Please refer to the Rules thread for more information.

If you have any questions, you can ask an administrator for assistance.

All the best,

The only thing the program connected to was the main game page, and that was to obtain a string for the game's engine version to even load the game itself in the first place. That's all there is to it. This was always the way it's been when making cheats for DragonFable. Without it, might as well not even have the DragonFable section at all.

This issue has been talked about in the past and been deemed to be allowed as seen in this thread: https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=736306

I'd also note that a game under the same company (AQWorlds) are designed the exact same way when making cheats for it. They obtain a string for the latest game version in order to load the game.

Here is the actual code in my program:

Code:

string data = "";
string _data;
string url = "https://dragonfable.battleon.com/game/";
try
{
    using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
    {
        data = client.DownloadString(url);
    }
}
catch (Exception s)
{
    MessageBox.Show(s.Message);
}
string[] flag = { "<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"strFileName=" };
string[] flag2 = { "\" />" };
_data = data.Split(flag, StringSplitOptions.None)[1].Split(flag2, StringSplitOptions.None)[0];
axShockwaveFlash1.FlashVars = "strFileName=" + _data;
axShockwaveFlash1.Play();

the thread where they deem it allowed was from 2013, and the people who allowed it are now banned or aren't administrators. last time I checked, only administrators can make the rules.

The loader is just to load the game. It's exactly how all AQWorlds bots are made and many other games as well. I didn't post that old thread to show guys from 2013 talking about it. I posted it to show that it's a necessity when making cheats and all it does is update a string to even load the game in the first place. If this continues, the entirety of the Battleon section for cheats might as well be deleted. How are people to release cheats when all the cheats require acquiring the latest game swf string from the game's own official website?

Back in 2013 they allowed this because they knew how the cheats were made and this was the way to make them--this is how they are made You're basically disallowing any and future cheats in that subsection.

Waited 48 hours now

Looking for another staff to take a look into this issue

No reason why you can't reupload when the game updates. AFAIK, there is hardly any updates from the game anyways... usually just event updates.

Lots of other game sections (e.g. RotMG) has users reupload their cheats that is updated to the new version.

Having to reupload every time there's a new version is bad practice. That'll just even be unnecessary work having to get it approved again and so forth. There's already trainers that's been approved in the section that auto-updates their string. Not to mention, literally all of the bots/programs ever made in AQW does the same thing that my program does and they were approved. The popular bots such as "Le Bot" and "Carbon" are one of the examples.

If he doesn't want it on the site, it won't be allowed.

This old cheat I made uses the same auto-updater that I used for this program. He approved it.

Hoping for another staff to look into this issue,
Getting tired of playing the waiting game =/

I seriously don't want this to have to take more than a week just to resolve when I've already posted enough evidence...

Wait for the admin to respond. A lot of rules since 2013 have been changed.

An auto updater for something that can be used to log usernames/emails/passwords is too iffy for me to approve.

As shown in the thread, it doesn't do any of those things. All it does is obtain the "flashvars" variable from the game page to load the game: https://dragonfable.battleon.com/game/

See the thread post for the code that is exactly used to get the string from the game page

48 Hours went by, @Dave84311 wouldn't you say that my program doesn't violate any of what you consider to be a harmful autoupdater?

What resources do you need to auto update?

Just the "flashvars" string which I retrieve from the official game page to load the game and nothing else. That's all.
