Spring RTS Engine

filesystem security is a different issue. as it stands, a widget with filesystem access could send data over the spring protocol to another player. this has nothing to do with a lua implementation of sockets. if we have filesystem security, the only socket restrictions we need are on services that *...

I wasn't advocating handshake as a long-term solution, just something they could implement *now* with the code they already have. and the cool thing about handshake, you don't trust the socket to send data before the handshake is complete (server sends TASSERVER command, client send LOGIN command, s...

it's too easy for pure raw sockets to violate sandbox. that's why flash uses crossdomain policy files. requiring a known handshake is a very easy way to respect the sandbox. better suggestions are welcome, but doing something so open we'd either be able to violate the user's trust or require user pe...

LuaLobby right now doesn't allow raw message sending, just a few predefined commands. IMO this is a mistake, I'd just handle login using the engine (to make sure they're connecting to a lobby server), and pass raw protocol into lua when it's done. This would even give us full raw sockets for anyone ...

when I see a spammer, I:

1. open his profile, view all posts
2. open each post in a tab
3. open the post info on one of them (for the ban interface)
4. ban him
5. click the delete button on each post, ctrl+tab, repeat

doesn't actually take very long

centralized base system is only one valid school of thought. also happens to be more susceptible to nukes/bombing

I can move to a real uberserver setup instead of legacy mode if this becomes adopted properly.

basically

SmartSelect runs something like six filters on 5k units with almost zero slowdown in my testing... and the method's already there, you'd just need to change the distance check to a circle for some commands.

still need to adapt some of the low level stuff like streflop and conform our opengl calls to the ES 2.x spec

the concepts in my SmartAreaReclaim and SmartSelect widgets might help get someone on the right track SmartSelect has some very fast methods of locating and filtering units inside an area. SmartAreaReclaim shows how you can play with area commands as for not duplicating commands, you can just check ...

imo you might see significant improvements on heavily-targeted apps versus the phenom X4 but most of the current benchmarks have been running on quads and hexcore versions of said quads. I know with eight cores you lose the benefit of unganged memory on a quad (via one stick per core), but these tes...

one of those sites said a bulldozer octo could easily hit 4.6GHz on air, a decent improvement over the phenom quad (especially considering turbo core)

For example, I offered a bot called modbot to swiftspear that logged administrators and moderators on the lobby so that we would know exactly who had access and who didn't regardless of wether they were logged on, squashing several rumours that people such as Tsuyosa had second accounts with admin ...

vmware fusion/workstation are even cooler than player :)

big problems with DRM - clients can never cheat beyond info gathering, there are currently a multitude of ways to do that besides using a modified client, and the source is easy to compile.

maybe a separate binary anticheat software could work okay but that's still shenanigans

so sexy.

can't you remove the jitter by detecting if a unit would cross the force field next frame based on velocity?
