I suspect the idea was for this to be a rather harmless easteregg/backdoor allowing the author to play pranks on people using CombatAnalysis - but the three names were reserved on only one server. Someone read the code, created characters with those names on another server and used this to harass someone. This is not unheard of, easteregss becoming unintended exploitable features.

If there was a check for servername together with the player name check, only the author's account would have ever been able to use this, and maybe nobody would have ever noticed.

Too bad there's no way to determine the server name in Lua. (Or am I wrong?)

You are correct, server name is not exposed via Lua.

It's kind of possible to know what server a script is running on, by parsing the chat and extracting long identifiers from items / users, that include a high order byte identifying the server.

Narrel said he will be taking a look over Lua in the coming months, so this could be a suggestion to put on the lua section on the lotro forums.

Shedding a bit more light

Hello,

I enhanced the Combat Analysis plugin about a year ago adding an average column to the stats. I have not used it much but now want to see how various jewelry affects my performance. Now imagine my surprise when I see this thread.

None of the copies I made last year contained the nasty Easter egg hack. So the do-badder made his insertion sometime in the last 12 months.

The old zips I have are 4.1.6 c and b and they work with update 13

Being that I have these pre-naughty hacking versions and there are no copyrights on any of the code and Evendale acknowledged and dicussed my work on the project with private messages, what does the community suggest I do?

If there is no copyright license stated, it defaults to ARR. I would need to hear from the original author directly in order to allow you to upload your version.

Open the refrigerator door please HAL.
Of course Dave.
HAL, you closed the refrigerator door! My arm is trapped in there!
I'm sorry Dave, a traffic cam has recorded your jay walking violation and I am instructed by the police to immobilize you until they arrive.
