Red squares

Postby Apa7HY » Mon Mar 05, 2007 7:05 pm

I did a search for "red squares" and turned up nothing, so I figure I'm safe to post.

On the world map, what does it mean when a connection has a red square rather than a white or green one? I understand that white squares indicate a connection, period. Green squares indicate that you have a mission to do at that connection. A dotted square around the aforementioned square means you have an account on that connection, and a solid square indicates that you have admin on that connection.

So what the hell does a red square indicate?

Is the red square flashing? Are you in the middle of a hack?

If it's the former and you're not doing anything with it, it's the revalation virus.

If it's the latter, then it's showing you the progress of the trace from the company you're hacking.

Perhaps it's orange and not red?

If it's orange, it's the new _coloring_ option you can assign to a server (the point is to make a given server easier to spot), check the visibility button for each server on the server list.

Come to think of it, it is more orange, but I don't remember clicking the little box (y'know, the one to the right of the connection name on my links list) :( I must have at some point though, because it is indeed a plus sign. Thanks. I'm such a nubcake.

Which, I guess, means you are half a year late ;)
