If you're wondering this, you probably don't belong within the debate...

well, got any point in favor of not going to school that's not "muh freedom!!" ?

i think your genius intellect missed the "great debate topic" in the same title lmao

No, I'm wondering what's there to debate. Education should be mandatory everywhere, otherwise you will create a community of useless thugs that can't do any work and will cause trouble out of boredom.

Modification Help / Re: POLL: Condense Modification Boards?

« on: April 21, 2015, 04:30:10 PM »

How about a completely different approach?

1) Rename the "files" group to "modding"
2) Add a new board to it, "work in progress". This replaces modification discussion
3) Add another board to it, "modding help". This replaces coding help and general modification help
4) Remove "blockland modification forums" group

Jesus Christ. So, my fellow level designers are arguing about how much the level looks like either:

- A richard
- A buttplug
- A combination of the two

Idea: Create a level that actually looks like a giant richard and act like it's the most normal thing in the world when questioned!

Except my teacher had a choice to teach it and wanted to.

What were the other choices? They were probably worse.

General Discussion / Re: How do I make it say CONSOLE: (what you want it to say) in my server chat.

The join message would be:

messageAll('MsgClientJoin', '\c1%1 connected.', "player name");

The leave message is more complicated if you also need the sound that goes with it, as this is normally handled in a secure command which you can't call.
First, create a sound datablock:

datablock AudioProfile(LeaveSound)
{
    filename = "base/data/sound/playerLeave.wav";
    description = Audio2D;
    preload = true;
};
TransmitDatablocks();

Then to send the message and play the sound:

messageAll('', '\c1%1 has left the game.', "player name");
ServerPlay2D(LeaveSound);

I think it would work, but you'll have to test it.

^^^

Also, collecting key.dats from other computers is useless. You have to run the program on the same computer the key.dat was generated on. You can only decrypt your own key.

Wish this section had a modify button >.<
U ninja'd your post tho Zeb...

What about a group of friends that plays at the library? What about a town that uses public wifi like mine does? I can see any computer on the "town" network and many people use that *slow* stuffty wifi.

I don't know how many people in my town play Blockland, I only know of 2. With this, if they connect to the public wifi and don't have proper security set up on their PC, I could nab the .dats. Guess I'd better just start checking the computers of all networks I join for a Blockland folder. Collect as many key.dats as possible, right?

Your completely forgetting about people who use teamviewer and similar remote desktop and peer-to-peer connections. The whole "airport, resturant" thing is just a possible scenerio

Why are you leaving any important data on the library computers? Delete your stuff before you go, problem solved.

Using a public wifi doesn't mean you can freely access other computers??? Try stealing a file from any of them, it won't work.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about teamviewer. If you're letting strangers access your computer then there are much worse things to do then stealing a blockland key. You're probably using it wrong.

Seriously -.-

My problem is that I fear the stealing of auth keys. Do we have to go over the whole peer-to-peer and remote desktop connection stuff? You know there are ways of executing programs through other user's PC simply by using some "new" software that supposedly helps you regain your information
(as reliable as it may seem)

I can understand the need for regaining your activation key when you only have Blockland on one computer and are stuck such as, but what you don't understand is how the method bypasses authentic security to regain it. If something of this nature were to be released I would rather have it from the official Blockland source, not some 3rd party "open source" that could very well be collecting keys (Not saying Ipquarx would, but with open source anyone could)

What the hell are you even talking about?

If you download a rat that's your own fault, don't blame the tools a attacker might use with it.

The point of open source is that you can verify the code and compile it yourself if you have to. It's not possible to hide a backdoor in there. How do you expect the "collecting keys" to work?
