LAN: Main Server locked

Postby Trac3R » Tue Aug 21, 2007 12:17 pm

Hi Folks,

I have a problem with a LAN mission. The main server is guarded by three
locks ( you can see 2 of them on the right ) which have no related terminal
in sight to unlock them. I tried to spoof and force them, but without results.
The terminal at the bottom of the picture seems to have no function, one
can only log in there.
So, what have I made wrong. What can I do to unlock this 3 guards?
I searched for similar treads here, but haven't find one. If such thread exists, a link would be nice.

Thanks for your help.

When you say you tried to force the locks 'without results', what do you mean - i.e. what feedback did you base that on?
Also, do you have the latest patch (1.55)? If not, get it from the patch subforums (in my signature).

Your answer implies, that this should be the way to hack this LAN, so I tried it again just now.
I must have done something wrong, since it works now.
Spoofing does not work. I tried to force them all just once, I rather don't use
this tool so often, you know. :wink:

Ok, thanks a lot.

Wunderbar. Yes, I share your avoidance of LAN_Force, but since they remain unlocked even after disconnection, the initial alerting of the admin doesn't matter so much: you can just disconnect, clear your logs and reconnect and you're off scot free.
