    Default We could all be gone by this random.

    well i was looking on the rs forums while farming and this guy came up with a bad idea here is the link to the thread

    http://forum.runescape.com/forums.ws?24,25,601,41628860

    if you can't get the thread up then i shall explain it here:

    ~THE IDEA~

    A new random event, maybe introduced by the Mysterious Old Man, should come into existence. When the Mysterious Old Man appears in front of you, he requests you type in the letter/number code in the screen above. The letters WILL NOT be case sensitive. Once you click "Continue", a new little chat box similar to a Private Message box will appear, and you type the code in the box. It will NOT be typed and then a message in Public Chat. And I want to make it absolutely clear that I mean a PICTURE of letters, not text. As several have mentioned, macroers can already decipher regular RS text.

    ~Idea from Limpnskimpn~: "Also, i think it'd be funny if the Drunken Dwarf was the one to hand you the paper or w/e that has the letters on it... he'd say he's too drunk to read what his public indecency charges are or something..."

    If macroers were faced with this problem, it would stop them completely, as other websites have done this. Aditionally the picture should rotate and switch every few seconds to prevent screenshot answers. And Jagex would change the pics every once in a while also.

    Obviously, if you get it right, you get the usual reward of a gem or a few coins.

    If you do get it wrong, I suggest that you either get teleported elsewhere or you get automatically logged out, which was suggested in other forums in different ways.

    Or, it should note everything equipped and in your inventory, therefore it makes an Axe/Lobster Pot/Pickaxe useless until unnoted.

    A constructive suggestion from The Arche777 states that there should be THREE trials of this read-and-retype code just in case there's bad typers. If you get all three right, you get a better reward than just one. And this would still have the same effect in the case of macroers.

    so if his ever does come true by jagex then we are screwed for a couple of month's i think does anyone know if they could actually solve this

    Ever heard of sleepwalker (or w/e it was called) from the rs classic days?

    It would take a picture of the fatigue code, compress it, upload it to a server.

    Someone takes that picture, types the text, gets a point.

    For every point you gain, you could spend one (or was it more?)


    Ofcourse, I bet we could come up a way to beat it...

    We would probably put in a sleepwalker system at first, until we could write an OCR for it, depending on how the letters looked.

    I doubt they would do this though, because if RSDemon can get itemIDs and stuff, it could probably intercept what answer is expected.

    Yeah this would suck, but I doubt they'd make them like the regular security codes. It doesn't go well with the games style and would suck for legit players.

    Huh? I dont get it. SCAR can OCR, in fact we do that all the time. We have all the fonts from runescape captured in SRL, moreover default in DIVI. We could quite easily create a new fontfamily with this code/number I guess.

    Wont stop us
    SRL is a Library of routines made by the SRL community written for the Program Simba.
    We produce Scripts for the game Runescape.

    Aw, I still have that on my HD I think, was fantastic.

    There was a program like Furby OCR or something that was released a short while later that did it for you.

    Surely we could create an OCR like this?

    Edit: Aww should have read the posts before me, exactly the same ideas. lol.

    Like Boreas said it probably wouldn't.

    See when the latest update game out and RSDemon was down for like 12 hrs everyone thought jagex had killed the macroers. There were people running around so happy. So in general I think we are still likely unknown to the rs community in general. So if RSdemon stay alive they will focus all their hate and resentment to lvl 3's and be clueless and less preceptive to autoers b/c we look and act just like they do.

    Chop up the letters into single block sections and make them as bitmaps?

    What if the angle was random. The color being random we could deal with. What if the font was random. My point was that they could make a captcha that would be really hard to write an OCR for, perhaps so hard that we would have to implement a human solving system. Again, I doubt they would do this, but not because they can't.

    well if you really think about this, the trouble that they would have to cause for us to keep us from continuing at all would make the gameplay so horrible that many would just quit playing. they still have to keep the game entertaining.

    yah and as far as the general public is concerned we dotn exist...so i dont think jagex is worring about us right now. They're probably trying to contain rsdemon at the moment.
