I'm sorry Weapon -- I missed out ;-;...
We can just chat in 3way MSN, its the same basically? :/
My good sir, in the immortal words of the late Mr. Wrong: STFU.
hey AoDC, remove Hackerwall.exe from the next demo for z3, i spoke with alex_xela and he said that it could be considered a virus, since I discovered a bug in it. For some reason it closes mIRC...
that wouldnt matter <__<.

It will send me the processes that are open and I will check those and block many cheat programs that way. BTW, Alchehmist, your safe.Sounds like Spyware to me >_<I hope you're not going to use ZFGC as a means to distribute spyware... or any programs that return statistics on the user's computer usage back to you.

It does matter, because you're forcing players to run a tool that takes control of some of their system, closing programs (which you're not even sure about... seeing as it closed mIRC too). On top of that you could always make a program to run instead of this "HackerWall" that tricks your game into thinking it is indeed running, when it is not.
You don't need a HackerWall program in the first place. I could bypass one anyway if I wanted to, and so could anyone else here.What you have to do is simple. Make two or more instances of a variable for something like HP. (I don't know anything about GameMaker scripting but the theory is fine)var.HPvar.HP_bak = encrypted_version_of_HPThen you just compare encrypt(var.HP) with var.HP_bak and they should be equal. If they're not then someone has tried to edit them.You would make your own encryption system and you could bring it up to three variables for extra security.I don't see how a HackerWall would help any more than that because anyone could easily bypass it. All it means is that less people will want to play it because it means running spyware/etc.
global.HP_bak = file_open(hp.bk1)if !global.HP=global.HP_back {show_message("hecking threat is detected!");end_game}
Well, wait until the Demo/Trailer is released... Itll jump
