Chapter 166 Who blocked whose account?
It was a peaceful afternoon.
Except for picking up his girlfriend from get off work, Jiang Yongqing has been staying in front of the computer, waiting for a reply from Tianba Studio.
Out of boredom, he also played the classic mode.
[Marbles go into the hole] mode!
He originally wanted to kill time, but after all, Tianba Studio hadn't responded to him yet, so he didn't know what the mysterious gift was.
But when he took out the red patterned marble that had awakened the marble soul and reached level 31 in the previous game, the nature of the game changed.
"ah?!"
"Dude, are you cheating?"
"What's going on? Why did I see a phoenix?"
"Isn't this the Soul of Marbles?"
Looking at the phoenix-shaped marble soul on the screen, as well as the other destroyed marbles and fields, Jiang Yongqing was stunned like other players.
He took a special look.
yes!
This is not the "Pachinko Soul" mode, but the normal "Classic Mode". Since it is a classic mode, where does this marble soul come from?
"Why do I feel like I'm getting stronger again?"
Jiang Yongqing was surprised to find that this red patterned marble not only carried the soul of the marble that was unique to the special mode, but also inherited its level and corresponding attributes.
After destroying the other marbles in the field, he could see that the properties of the marble soul that should not have appeared had become stronger again.
What the hell?
He already thought it was outrageous that Pinball Soul could be used in classic mode. But what’s even more outrageous is that after destroying other players’ marbles in classic mode, the attributes and levels can actually be improved?
Properties are on the rise.
The level is uncertain, because now from Jiang Yongqing's perspective, the level of this marble soul has become "???".
What's going on with the three question marks?
Jiang Yongqing, who was confused, simply reported the situation to Tianba Studio.
However, no reply was received.
I don’t know if they paid attention to this issue, but Jiang Yongqing pulled other players and continued a round of classic mode games.
obviously!
The Soul of Pinball from the special mode is just like mowing the grass in the classic mode. It comes with a lock and will kill anyone it hits.
After being hit by this red-patterned marble, the other marbles turned into powder without even leaving a whole body behind.
"A bit perverted!"
"Isn't this just like cheating?"
Jiang Yongqing became more and more enthusiastic as he played, and even felt that this was even more powerful than cheating, because cheating brothers are usually not so arrogant, let alone destroying the game scene.
And as the number of destroyed marbles increased, he found that the properties of this red patterned marble were still increasing, as if there was no upper limit...
"The magic of attracting stars?"
For some reason, Jiang Yongqing suddenly thought of a magical secret book mentioned in a martial arts novel that could absorb the inner strength of others to increase his own strength.
It’s so similar!
The mysterious red patterned marble is wreaking havoc in the game. Countless players have witnessed it with their own eyes. Jiang Yongqing swept the arena with this marble, destroying other marbles in a famous scene.
The player community is blown away.
Many victims came to @Brother Ba and wanted to know what was going on. Why did Pinball Soul appear in the classic mode?
"Don't worry, we are investigating..."
Facing the players' inquiries, Chen Ba was also anxious.
After he received the news, he immediately conducted all-round testing and monitoring on the account [Brother Ba's Little Beloved Wife], especially the weird red patterned marble.
The test results left him speechless.
"everything is normal?!"
"Are you kidding! Pinball Soul has appeared in the classic mode. Are you telling me everything is normal?" Chen Ba roared.
"But……"
Xiao Lu rubbed his brows and said, "I don't know what the marble itself is!"
The Soul of Pinball binds marbles. If you want to understand the key to this, you have to analyze what problems exist with the "marbles" in the game.
But Brother Ba made the marbles, something he didn’t even know about. How could Xiao Lu find out?
Chen Ba: "..."
It's exactly what he thought!
The problem lies in the "marbles", but the marbles in this game were not created by Chen Ba, but by the Tiehanhan system.
"Then let's change our thinking. Can we delete this red patterned marble from the game?"
"Let me try……"
Xiao Lu clicked on the keyboard, trying to erase the traces of the red patterned marble from the background of the game.
About half an hour passed.
Xiao Lu said with a depressed face: "Brother Ba, what exactly is this thing? Why does it show that I don't have permission when I want to delete this game item?"
Insufficient permissions? !
When Chen Ba heard this, his eyes widened. He seemed to have never thought that there was such a possibility, so he pulled Xiao Lu away and tried again.
It really is!
The prompt that the operation failed directly gave him a heavy blow.
Chen Ba was silent.
Xiao Lu saw something wrong with Brother Ba's face and guessed that the matter might not be that simple, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Ba, can't you do it too?"
"It's not that it's impossible, but..."
"If you want to move this marble, you have to delete all the marble code in the entire game and remove the entire marble part."
Having said this, Chen Ba spread his hands and said, "This is a marble game. If we remove all the marbles in the game, what will be left?"
after verification.
When the level of Pinball Soul is greater than level 30, the Pinball Soul will not be reset and eliminated and can be brought into other game modes.
Chen Ba could understand the code that Xiao Lu couldn't understand, so he knew why this happened.
I guess no one expected it!
The marbles created by Tiehanhan system have a logic bug after being attached with the mechanism of marble soul.
The Soul of Pinball is below level 30, everything is normal and the situation is calm!
But once the marble soul of a certain marble exceeds the level 30 limit, a bug will be triggered, causing the marble to break away from the original game framework and gain some game administrator rights.
The so-called game rule restrictions, for example, Pinball Soul cannot be brought into the classic mode. As long as the authority is high enough and the command priority is higher, who says it can't be done?
"Administrator rights?"
When Xiao Lu heard this, his eyes widened: "Brother Ba, do you mean that this red patterned marble is not only a game prop, but also an administrator account in a sense?"
"Yes!"
"To be precise, this is not an administrator account, it is just an administrator's authority. Whoever has this authority will have his account become an administrator's account."
Chen Ba sighed and said: "I just tried to ban the player [Brother Ba's Little Wife], but you also saw it..."
It’s outrageous to say it!
A dignified game developer wanted to ban a player's account, but couldn't?
"It shouldn't be!"
"Even if they have partial administrator rights, we can delete them in the background. After all, they can't have the game operation background and GM tools, right?"
Xiao Lu felt very strange.
Even if this marble mutates and somehow acquires some administrator rights, as long as it does not operate the backend and GM tools, it will not be a big problem.
"I understand what you mean, but what I want to say is that the authority of this thing will continue to expand..."
Chen Ba opened the operation backend page, pointed to a glittering account name and said, "See, this guy is on the same level as me. He is also a super administrator."
A game's internal permission levels, also known as the permission system, can be roughly divided into four levels.
The first level is game customer service.
This level of permissions is also some common permissions that many players often come into contact with, such as account blocking, unblocking, querying account information, querying recharge records, banning, etc.
The second level is game operations.
From a player's perspective, this level also includes game planning, which has much higher authority than customer service, including game activities, props, game modes and gameplay, career balance, numerical adjustments, etc.
The third-level administrator and the fourth-level super administrator are exclusive to the game's chief planners, producers, developers, and project leaders.
There is basically only one permission at this level, which is to open or close permissions for others, and to increase or decrease permission accounts.
Chen Ba is the super administrator.
Generally speaking, for games under Tianba Studio, he is the only super administrator, and even close friends like Dong Ge and Xiao Lu are just ordinary administrators.
But now, what did he see?
In the game "Don't Leave After School: Pinball Storm", in addition to [GameBugs], the super administrator actually has an additional player named [Brother Ba's Little Wife].
No wonder the account can’t be blocked!
We are both super administrators and have the same authority. Why do you block my account? Do you have that ability?
"Black...hacking?"
"This has nothing to do with hackers!"
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said: "This is a bug at the bottom of the game. If Pinball Soul exceeds level 30, it will be upgraded from an ordinary player to an administrator by default."
From the beginning, [Brother Ba’s Little Beloved Wife] was at this level of authority.
Moreover, his administrator rights are still incomplete, at least not complete enough. If Chen Ba wants to ban his account, that is the best opportunity.
But in order to investigate the cause of the problem, he missed the best opportunity to take action, which also led to [Brother Ba's Little Wife] to continue to increase the hidden level of Pinball Soul.
As the hidden level increased, he also upgraded from the incomplete administrator rights to the super administrator of the game...
Who knows if he continues to hunt other players, will he continue to increase his authority, and eventually his authority will be higher than that of Chen Ba, the game developer?
I’m so embarrassed!
It's embarrassing for a dignified game developer to be able to do nothing to an ordinary player.
But Chen Ba really doesn’t have a good solution, because he has to stop the server, but the early access version of the game has only been released for one day. Will stopping the server have a bad impact?
And what can I do if I stop taking it?
One [Brother Ba’s Little Beloved Wife] has been solved, but this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. As long as the bugs in the game are still there, a second Little Beloved Wife will appear sooner or later...
"What should we do?"
Xiao Lu was also stunned.
He also didn't expect that one day the game he developed would not have the same authority as an ordinary player.
title?
He is just an ordinary administrator, [Brother Ba’s Little Beloved Wife] is a super administrator, who can block whose account?
"Contact this player!"
Chen Ba sighed and said: "Tell him the truth and ask him not to do anything wrong with his authority. If there are any problems, keep communicating with us."
There is no need to revoke permissions.
On the one hand, it is difficult to take it back. On the other hand, taking it back will not solve the problem. It is better to repair the server to avoid the situation of 37 people in a game again.
Completely eradicate the problem?
If he could solve the bug caused by the Tiehanhan system, he would have ascended to the fairy world and be promoted to the God of Programmers.
…
Jiang Yongqing was studying this "magic" marble with red patterns when he received the private message from Tianba Studio.
What to study?
Of course, we are studying the marble introduction page and why there are a series of GM function modules.
This is what he just discovered...
He was wreaking havoc everywhere in the classic mode, using the soul of Pinball to beat other players to cry for their parents, when a window suddenly popped up, and Pinball had an additional GM background.
This makes him look stupid.
He didn't do anything, so why did the game automatically pop up the GM tool? broken! Brother Ba doesn’t think he is a hacker, right?
Just when he was feeling uneasy about this, and even hesitating whether to surrender to Brother Ba and beg for leniency, he received a private message from Tianba Studio.
"So that's what it looks like..."
Through private messages, Jiang Yongqing was relieved when he learned that this was a game bug that would be triggered when Pinball Soul exceeded level 30.
Fortunately it's a bug!
He just said, he didn't do anything, why did he become the game GM?
Just clarify the misunderstanding. Now you don't have to worry about being settled by Brother Baqiu. After all the worries in his heart were relieved, Jiang Yongqing immediately became excited.
This is GM authority!
What gamer is not interested in this thing? This is even more fun than playing the cracked version. After all, the cracked version is only for single player at most, and this is an online game!
"Don't act recklessly?"
After taking a closer look at Brother Ba's instructions, Jiang Yongqing was curious, to what extent was it considered to be reckless?
I just tinkered around, got myself some marbles, and added some game coins. Isn't it considered a ruthless act?
After giving it a try and discovering that he could actually copy and generate specific game props, Jiang Yongqing finally understood how stupid he had been in spending money in games before.
Are these things worthless at all?
GM tools are still great!
But this thing is only addictive once, after all, it is too easy, unlike krypton gold, where after spending one order, you still want to spend another one.
"broken!"
While testing the GM tools, Jiang Yongqing suddenly remembered something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He shared his experiences and bizarre experiences in group chats, Moments, and the Tianba community.
According to Brother Ba's explanation, as long as someone upgrades the Soul of Pinball to level 30 or above, he will be promoted to administrator...
This is the real mystery gift!
If this is the case, if his method of obtaining permissions leaks out, will it create a group of pure player administrators like him?
Just because he listened to Brother Ba and chose not to cause trouble, it doesn't mean that others will behave honestly! If a troublemaker comes along and gets permission, it will be great fun.
This game won’t become a player-autonomous game, right? Do operations, maintenance and event planning all depend on the players themselves?
