The term "incredible" comes to mind. When I think about this sort of thing, combined with the modularised nature of each building's components (such as the Shopping Doors being split into sensors, actu-whatevers, and so on) and the manipulation of these components... I'll say it now, this ...

Simple. A revoked key. Followed by an invalid one. Followed by the realization that it sure would be good to be able to actually have this game work. Despite having it kick in for a couple of days, we're right back where we started. Demo crap. While this might be a great game, I'm not supporting In...

:lol: Silliest thing I've heard... I have done that before as I told you and I got kicked out of the servers when I got back. It happens all the time. People just don't wanna wait when someone gets out of AFK. They kick them out if they don't respond in 30 sec. I'll try what you say, but I have ver...

How long do you actually sit in the empty servers? Next time you do, make a note of the time, and perhaps even your local time zone. Like I said, of course, you don't actually have to be sitting at your computer, boring holes into your computer screen with your eyeballs while you wait. Put a line in...

The thing about empty servers is that they become an intense psychological barrier. How do you get people onto a server? Remove the barrier. Here's a step-by-step guide to starting a non-organised game of DEFCON: 1. Enter an empty server. 2. Go down the street and buy a copy of the Times. 3. Come ho...

I may have posted that plea a bit early - I've been given some pointers and suggestions on where to go from Peter, so I'll probably stop bugging everyone here and get on with this. Thanks for the help, people!

Okay, after e-mailing Peter and failing to achieve a response, I'm resorting to bugging you guys again, I suppose. I'll keep it nice and short this time around: Does anyone understand C++ to the point where they understand the Luabot source code? Ultimately, I merely want someone to essentially tell...

Ah, but Python is what I know! Furthermore, it actually has a good name! Above that, of course, is that by creating a bot in Python I'll be ensuring that my bot is: - Has that more-unique gimmick of being coded in Python - Is quickly prototypable - Adding to my ability to program in Python while it....

Sadly, it doesn't seem that anyone on the mailing list heard my plea. So, I suppose, these forums are the only lifeline I've got for this. trickster, could you elaborate on what you meant by a wrapper dll? I've done a little looking, and found something called SWIG, but it seems that I'll need a goo...

Man, You dont need to rewrite War and Piece to ask a simple question. Didnt entertain me at all. Ah, but it was not meant to merely entertain. The post had an additional purpose: To gather data on how the general forum reacts when a newcomer bursts in and does something stupid, though not harmful, ...

Yeah, just playin' the stereotype there. Might as well make a poor attempt at humour. Anyway, I've had a copy of the bot-version of DEFCON sitting dormant on my hard-drive for a while now. It had more or less left my mind completley, however, as I was sitting at my laptop, Radiohead playing in the b...

By the way, I have the exact same black screen of death playing uplink with/without firewall. Are you using Windows' compatibility mode? No need when my firewall is off. Uh... Compatibility mode and firewalls are completely unrelated. Firewalls, of course, relate to internet access, but compatibili...
