Resolved Our universe files has been altered, somebody made a prank on our server....

Hi there Starbounders!

I've been victim of a prank, I host a Starbound server and some dirty-dog put rats in 2 solar systems, this is one of the 2, visible only from the navigation console, how did they do it? exploiting a bug? What the heck is this thing and most important, how do I remove those from my universe files? (it's visible offline too)
When you zoom to the planet they zoom out of the visual btw
Please help this is really embarrassing!

Thank you

Chandria

 

so...nobody? That is an urgent matter we can't stay with rats on the server people are coming....sorry for the haste

 

0 backup?

 

no backups sorry if it was so easy I didn't have bothered you guys, I found out long after the crime has been done, how to edit.....that part of the game that seems unacccessbile? please help i'm really desperate!

 

Ok maybe looking for coordinates I found a system files followed by several world files all sharing their name (coordinates) maybe it's in the .system file the culprit better start editing from there?






No idea what's the third coordinate though...

_2, _4, and _7_2 maybe it's the position in the system, _7_2 maybe it's a moon

You mean with with something like this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=942157446
Or more roughly move the single planets of the affected to a host system I on't care? https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/transferring-importing-planets.123609/#post-3012812 like this?

I think that should work one of the 2 thanks

 

Thanks you've been clear I'll try to see what I can do

I think I've managed that's what came out of the rats, if someone's interested that's the code of one rat:

Code:

{
        "name" : "playerstation",
        "spawnTime" : 2.39562e+07,
        "parameters" : {
          "icon" : "/assetmissing.png?crop;0;0;1;1?setcolor=fff?replace;fff0=fff?border=1;fff;000?scale=1.15;1.12?crop;1;1;3;3?replace;fbfbfb=000;eaeaea=ae0000;e4e4e4=000053;6a6a6a=ae0053?multiply=fff0?scale=173.5;82.5?crop=0;0;174;83?replace;[The code then continues for a lot like 95k colums on a notepad],
          "displayName" : "rats, we're rats",
          "description" : "we're the rats"
        },
        "orbit" : {
          "target" : {
            "location" : [710353730, -13389283, 22444347],
            "planet" : 0,
            "satellite" : 0
          },
          "direction" : 1,
          "enterTime" : 2.39562e+07,
          "enterPosition" : [-152.557, -203.426]
        },
        "position" : [-67.751, 245.083],
        "uuid" : "9e36ef38c395effc5f47daf2e6352943"
      },

Another rat different than the others:

Code:

{
        "name" : "playerstation",
        "spawnTime" : 2.39562e+07,
        "parameters" : {
          "icon" : "/assetmissing.png?crop;0;0;1;1?setcolor=fff?replace;fff0=fff?border=1;fff;000?scale=1.15;1.12?crop;1;1;3;3?replace;[kilometers of code]
"displayName" : "I'M THE GIANT RAT THAT MAKES ALL OF THE RULES",
          "description" : "LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE WE CAN GET OURSELVES INTO"
        },
        "orbit" : {
          "target" : {
            "location" : [710353730, -13389283, 22444347],
            "planet" : 0,
            "satellite" : 0
          },
          "direction" : 1,
          "enterTime" : 2.39562e+07,
          "enterPosition" : [102.878, 117.82]
        },
        "position" : [-101.141, 119.315],
        "uuid" : "3e19f9bb55c1fc1dd2502ff12fe0d5ed"
      },

Just to give you an idea of the complexity of this code that was a part of the part that I omitted:



Thanks guys *doki* doki*


I wonder now....how did the do that? For curiosity's sake (and to close the security hole ^^)
