Toribank - Beta Testing
I thought i'd let you in on something I've been working on for the past 12 hours. It's not meant to be a robust solution to all the worlds problems, but more of a proof-of-concept that might result in something "official" later on.

Basically, Toribank is an automated user that takes commands via PMs, and manages funds in accounts that way. Account owners have the ability to add and remove account managers who can also manage funds in the accounts. The main target group of this feature is clans who share resources among them. Currently this is done by a shared account, despite being against the rules. With a bank system it's easier to share TC in a group, plus logging keeps track of who's using up all the TC.

This post/thread will only serve as startup. The most up to date info can be found here: http://toribash.jarmund.net/toribank.txt

As the title says, this system consists of around 600 lines of spagetti-code that i've baked together for the past 12ish hours, so keep that in mind when trying to break it.

From looking at the console right now, i think it's worth mentioning that all commands are to be sent in UPPERCASE... RTFM..

Oh, and this being beta, and all... use at your own risk. If you lose money to the bank, then there's no refund. However, on the flipside, if you manage to find a loophole and gain money, you get to keep it (bug reports appreciated, tho).
Update: Most teething problems should be weeded out now. I would consider it safe for clans to transfer TC over to toribank.

I believe you have to post an example to each action. It will help. And a handy manual with screenes etc. Not only for tech-people.
To register new bank.
Bla blab bla..
[screeny]
To add funds.. bla bla bla..

There is no account belonging to you in the database, and the only register-related commands sent by you were wrong: you typed "Register" isntead of REG.

This seems to be really handy for clans etc...except for ONE FLAW.

Old Way, toricredits and items can be kept safe and held for clan mates.

New Way, toricredits can only be held in this "new profound way".

The problem with this is two things really, supporting both ends of the sides.

Problem Number One, now there isn't a bank to hold tourney, betting, and other prizes for events hosted by a clan.

Problem Number Two, how would this work with holding items and I believe it might be abused if added into the system.

All in all, the old way is better in ways and this new way is also better in other ways. I'm still towards the old way with clan banks.

......are the only entries that i can find from your accounts. Like you posted yourself, it's REG, not Register. So try it again.

I did, now i'm just waiting for the server to restart. I'll try again in 30 mins if nothing happens

I agree with you. Items are not supported (yet, anyway). Toribank is not meant as a replacement for having a bank-character, but more as a predecessor to such a replacement. I have one opinion contrary to yours, though: I do not consider a bank-character "safe" as there are way too many potential pitfalls with sharing an account with others, as can be seen in Vox's post

I understand that even the clan banks aren't as safe as this. Although everything has it's flaws and if someone can hack your account, you're as screwed as you would be if someone hack a bank account. As long as people are catious with their account safety there wouldn't be any problems. I do however plan on using this system as I see it a way to keep some of my toricredits safe if something were to happen. Don't get me wrong, both the new and old way aren't as great and safe to perfect, as they are both able to be hacked into. Although, the old way is a little bit easier if someone gets greedy with the bank account. Although, I'm not saying anything is perfect, but the best way to prevent scams like this is to change passwords regularly.

My clan leader seems to change the password quite a bit to the bank account which is a good thing, but then again wither me or MegaCash could easily steal from the bank, but we all know neither of us need to do so as we are both fairly succesful.

All I have to say is nice work, and I hope to see updates soon.
