After losing my account earlier this week, i wanted to spend a lot more time on coming up with the best solution possible to prevent a GM ban. From my experience, a GM ban will not be reversed during an appeal and you get 0 warnings. I have spent the past few days researching as much as I can on GM Detection, but there isn't a whole lot out there. Going through the API all i can find is the " onFoundGameMaster" event. In my code earlier this week i added " onFoundGameMaster += onGmFound;" to the PluginStart Method. The onGmFound method would simply stop the plugin and logout. I checked my logs after getting banned this week, and the event never went off. Could anyone explain how this event's detection works?

I also understand that sometimes GM's can be stealthed, or not have the GM tag in their name. I know radar plugin/discussion is not allowed here, but is there anyway to reveal a GM player? Are there any specific attributes in the Creature object class that would distinguish them from normal player, such as a type or player level?

right now all I am running is onFoundGameMaster event, and checking to see if players names start with "GM ", but i wanted to check any other solutions as i believe a lot of others can benefit from this.

thanks!

Out of curiosity, which plugins are you using and what were you doing the day of your ban?

I've been using UniversalFight which actually seems to be very accurate at both detecting and properly exiting the game. I've had at least 4 encounters while using UF and I've avoided GMs in all situations.
 
Maybe just a noob question, but if you are using a grinding bot. How can know the GM you are a bot?
He tries to talk with you or smth?
 
Ive gone to a few GM's boasting about bot killing over a server wide announcement. The GM's on my server literally ask the server to PM them names/locations of bots theyve seen recently, and the gm will teleport to/near that location or player and proceed to test. I've seen GM's put buffs on characters preventing them from being able to attack. So the bot runs to a target mob, and just gets hit slowly and dies. since a real player would never do that, especially with a crowd watching them (Remember the GM brings ppl along on my server) its a sure way of banning Fighter bots. Ive also heard of other buffs they can add to a player in question. Im sure they may whisper, or do some other stuff, but the killing buff seems to be the GM's favorite on my server.
 
anyone that can find a GM Pretty easily on their server please PM me. I am on a low pop server now and haven't seen one yet. I have an idea that might work. Actually, a pirate would probably work too if and of you have pirate alts.
 
Maybe you guys doesnt know :
Archebuddy -> Settings -> Characters -> Events

Over there you can place a .wav to play and flash window when GameMaster detected and other functions.

Just in case this maybe can help you out without coding

Thanks! The issue is the GameMaster Event doesn't fire everytime because of the multiple ways a GM will appear. I am trying to program for as many possibilities as I can.
