Perhaps implement a way of reporting occurences like this in-game? The same person is still putting hacked pokemon up on the GTS (the latest was an espeon that knew earthquake, with wonderguard as an ability and -11% exp. in level 3 -.-), and offering possibly hacked pokemon on other people's trades. :confused:

Hacking pokemon is REAAAALLY easy. :rolleyes: As easy as looking into the wiki on scripts and editing the files.:writing: You don't even need to hack the stones itself. Just get the pokemon. Script files should be locked. And it's a miracle items (as far as I know) can't be hacked so easily, because then you could make Potions heal 200hp.

Maybe changing the files to another format or coding them?

Well we want people to be able to modify them so they can make their own mods, etc
however we will be including a hash code soon that will check the scripts, etc to make sure you havent changed them
this will only effect Online play

Ahh, that makes sense. :D I forgot about mods. But that's a good idea. :)

I'm not sure how that hash code works, but it's not like the STORE thing in SAVE, right? 'cause that wasn't too secure either, just locate it and erase.

PD: btw, when the game is cheat-proof, there should be probably some kind of in-game reward for reporting security holes, so people may be a little less prone to exploit them without saying anything.

The reason the security code at the time was deletable was b/c we had just implemented it
and we didn't want someone to loose all of their pokemon at once or something
it was not going to stay that way
but then we moved the saves online
so we stopped protecting offline saves
at the beginning we they might be deletable but later they won't

Everything is very easily hackable atm for online. You can obtain all 251 pokemon and every item that exist in the files (stones, etc). The real miracle here is how very few people know how to do it. (The GTS is not destroyed yet) I mean the whole documentation is on the wiki, all you need to do is look.

So since the game isn't protected properly and people can hack it, does that mean later on you guys will do another wipe of online saves? I don't really want to be playing online if I know people who cheat will be all over the place with hacked pokemon/skills/etc. Once everything is protected I would be fine with a wipe if it meant securing the integrity of online play.

It would make sense to wipe again after the gamejolt online version has been secured with encrypted dat files. Not saying that Kolben will, it just seems like the logical thing to do.
