Hello people,

 

I think can be very useful if have a src mod that extend the support to GeoIP City! Actually, it's only GeoIP Country.

 

The maxmind have a API, I downloaded it but my knowledges is not enough to integrate the API on rAthena or just adapt the acual rA code to read city database.

 

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite

 

I think we can use, for example, to determine if people are using multiple accounts when "invite a player and win a reward", "v4p" and so many anti-fraud features. Also I can imagine something funny with that... a event that separates people by city/states/regions something like that could be funny.

 

I looked at the actual rA code, but I could not adapt it to read the cities because there are some constants that do not know what values ​​should be, among other things.

No, it's needed to change the rAthena that handle the geoIP database.

 

I thought right and it's silly to spend time on it, there is an API for PHP that can solve it more easily, the C API they have is very comprehensive and difficult to install Linux and Windows at the same time.
