The comma is not part of your key. Does it work if you enter it without the comma?

Path-finding is hard. Ish. Raw pathfinding is hard, but you can cheat and use either basic waypoint path finding (nearest-neighbour pathing) or some derivative of A*. Neither are NP complete, and it's only NP complete if you want to compute the most optimal path and know it's the most optimal. NeoT...

To note that's 25,075 posts in the PA forums alone. The forums as a whole have 457,328 posts, so PA already accounts for 5% of the total posts on the IV forums. For a game that's not yet released :) Concurrent users never really climbs much, and since you don't need to visit the forums to get the ne...

Came across this interesting issue, where upon if you have many damaged laundry machines, repairing one makes it explode due to the electricity and the water being on. This has the habit of killing people in a 3 square radius around the machine. I lost 29 people before I realised...

I love this, I'm apparently a weak admin because I won't ban someone. Clearly acegamer08 hasn't looked around the forums and seen how the forums are.

well...still here, account still active.. im still waiting on the "admin"...as one poster said "your move admin"...... I'm not going to ban you or something silly. I could. I just prefer the forums to sort out troublemakers. They're quite good at it. However, you might like to l...

Word of advice, acegamer08; and this comes from me, rather than just my admin status. Cool it with replying with insults. Don't rise to them, don't call them what they called you, just reply to any of their points, and if they have none, ignore them. You'll be more approachable and seem reasonable t...

They just aren't. You can set up your own phpBB install and look in the DB yourself. They aren't. I've run many phpbb installs over the years and know they do not store passwords normally. (They used some of the poorest hashing back in the days this forum is from, though - I don't know what the cur...

From memory ZBBlock is quite terrible. I'll have a proper look tonight, but I might have a better solution hanging around. Also, what spam? ;) NeoThermic Perhaps there have been significant changes since last you checked, I've been using it for about 10 months or so on several forums that used to g...

Now let's say, during a heated exchange, tempers lost and so forth, Random_User_1 starts posting personal detail about Random_User_2, who responds in kind and the issue escalates. Still no rules violation, but quite likely an ettiquette breach. As an aside, I was mostly ok with what was said up to ...

The real issue is if you can recall the email you used. If you give me one to search on I can return a result for you.. or at least try
