An idea for someone to make

Hey, i'm a very bad coder and i was wondering if anyone would like to carry out my idea.

basically when people post images of their accounts blacked out i'd quite like to be able to make a program which narrows accounts down until it finds their account.

in otherwords it would have an interface in which you can add stats you know they have or above, then clicking the search function would go through the highscores locating all accounts with certain stats, then would move onto the next skill narrowing the current results down.

Admittedly it would take a while for it to search the highscores for the player but itd be quite a nice gimicky idea.

e.g. if you knew they had 90+ firemaking it would come up with the roughly 15k players that have that skill, then would go onto the next skill i.e. 87 smithing, locating players who have that level out of the 15,000 players its already narrowed down, going through all the skills until it finds the player you want.

i doubt it would be too hard to produce, and if anyone is willing to give it an attempt i would be very greatful, even if they dont send it to me id like to know how it goes many thanks.

ehh, acctually I don't understand a shit of what u said :s
but maybe it's just me... but what would that be good for? (I did understod a bit of it...)

 

basically when people sell and buy accounts they blank out skills and it'd be nice to know what skills were actually there and so this idea would search the highscores based on skills they give narrowing it down to their account.
this could then be search revealling their name, the rest of their skills could be checked, it'd also show if the account is fake or banned.

 

It would take more than a fucking while.

Searching through a list of several hundred thousands names times however many skills you're looking up... Yeah that's not too difficult.... -_-

Although it's a nice idea I think only Jagex could implement a fast effective way of doing this with considerable ease since they have direct access to their databases of information.

 

ahh i get it.. but i think that would be pretty hard to do... but i'm not a pro programer so...
but as u said... it would take realy long to serch through all and match them like that....

 

It would actually be pretty easy to make. It wouldn't take that long to find the name(s) with the exact stats as the one posted. Basicly take the highest skill you know, and goto highscores (manually) and find the range of users that have that lvl of skill. Then have the program leach all of the names in that range (a userleacher from a cracker would work). Then using the "lite" highscores jagex gave us, look up each user 1 by one and compairing them with the stats you know (threw the program). Even if it took 1 sec per user, and you came up with say 5k ppl with 87 smithing, that would only be around 1.4 hours to find the possible uses it could be.

Anyone that can make a userleacher could make this im sure. I have several other projects going on, but i have thought of that before.

I have thought of this before... I really think it would be a good idea. Maybe I will work on it... a crappy version... D:

 

thanks for positive comments, i know its not the most hugely useful idea but it'd be nice to have, if any one does make feel free to let me know

 

I'd hate to see the legal issues.

Think about it, you have thousands of thousands of people with the same stat level. You search through them, you are making thousands of connects to the RuneScape site. If you get enough people doing it, its basically a theoretical DDoS.

 

Yeah seriously.

There are what, 16 skills? That atleast 16million web requests. Let's pretend that each web request takes 300ms (that's fast too):

No thanks

 

Im bored so im making it, I don't take responsibility for people actions with it.

There I have put it in the attachment, I would suggest using the skills that people don't usually train first to minimize time.

 

whoa thanks stu, takes a while like i thought but it works tyvm

 

Guys, why don't you just do what Moparscape did to get the java files for Runescape: Get the database from their server, since their game isn't protected that well, what's gonna stop someone from getting the database from their server? I think if you use some program like Netbus or something, you might be able to...

 

wouldnt work, unless pro haxxor and cant get that type of file the same way.

 

Glad I could help ownage777 if you need anything else made just make a post and ill see what I can do.

 

is this glitched or am i just glitched?

 

Ok I have improved it a ton it searches through the highscores 1000 at a time til it finds people with that level and then finds the first preson with that rank from there and then scouts through them.

I also made it so the filtering does it 21 at a time.

 

Might like to add an option for ascending alphanumeric ordering, just to tidy things up for people

 

Maybe give it a fucking stop button, for idiots like me that search something that takes hours.


I know something else... Min / Max XP thing... since sometimes people with 99s show the approximate amount of xp, it would help greatly.


Maybe list how many people have that lvl? D:


Got error.. index was outside bounds of the array..

LOLZ owned heh what did u search for and was it the first time u tried it??

EDIT: And Stuart, could I possibly have the project file for this to study?
