Idea Bring back cloakers from mcpvp

Can you elaborate more on what they did? How they worked? etc.

 

I agree, but I don't think you should have to spend resources to protect your base from people with xray. If this would be added it think that everyone should be able to do this for free.

 

Just mute the vid.

 

Quite an interesting piece of tech - I guess the reason they cost a fair bit to make is so you only really make them for good bases, rather than everyone using them on every base as this is likely to cause much more lag. Our Xray system right now is simply that you report your base if you think it was X-rayed and it gets looked at, however this would certainly add a new level of security over bases. Quite a lot of data to be stored when using them though - Every item, in every chest, damage values, position in chest etc., a lot to be taken into account.

 

I doubt the two can be linked, also positions of items in chests aren't logged (hence when you get a rollback, things aren't in the order/arrangement you had them in pre-raid). The data storage isn't a big issue, that was me just pointing out something.

 

Here's an idea to limit the amount people can make (to reduce server strain) and also to make them free:
Rather than crafting a cloaker, there is a command "/cloak set (existing warp name)". It will then cloak a certain radius around your existing warp. With this, you can limit the amount of cloakers people have, and maybe allow people with ranks to have more.
