Before you had to work your way to high level. Now you can just leave your computer on for a couple of hours and you'll be level 140.

Crazy?
You mean that it's just way too easy, or some sort of hack? I guess first

Anyway, you'll keep most of the xp you gained in former versions.
A code will load, but only provide you with ~75% Xp, maybe less, so you can't abuse things like the Medic's 5xp per heal that much.

Nope. I meant the second. THERE IS a hacked version that makes you get 999999 in all stats. AND it allows to save and use in normal versions. I sugest you redo the save entirely or at least dont allow codes from older versions. since then you can level up to 140 in the crazy Edition and then load in urs.

Lol yea that kinda sucks.

RABBQWTFZOMG ahhhhh :'(((
I guess I got to think of something.. the problem is that some people will kill me if I disable old codes

Well, you have a reason to disable them. You can generate a new code for those people.

Since i lost all my codes and wc3 isnt even installed on my new pc i would prefer it if everyone starts with 0 xp

I would not be to upset if you made a new savesystem to prevent that. There are however ways to cheat that you can't really prevent.

I would offer you, and also everyone else who is active in the forum, to restore your old code and/or change it into the new save system, once implemented.
The choice is up to you

Indeed, there is no way to prevent that a good hacker can open the map, but there is something you can do that is by far more annoying than a map protection
After finishing the work you screw up all variable names, function names, you store important variable names in several different strings so that the search function is useless, add hash functions somewhere hidden in your code, which fuck up the game if they notice any difference or just adding a function that crashes the game if a player's exp jumps instantly by more than ~200xp.

You can also screw the whole syntax, deleting spaces or empty lines. Or creating fake triggers to hide the actual functions. Everything is in JASS ofc, and trigger comments get deleted.

Barely any hacker, who is skilled enough to do this (most aren't anyways), will bother checking thousands of lines for hidden funcs and to reveal the correct variables...

EDIT: Yay, 50th post ^^ i'm a Sgt. now

Congrats, Sergeant!

save code... yes, probably you should alter the code a little, probably a library if you make use of something. it wouldnt matter a lot to start with level 0... and your idea to generate codes from the old 5.2, makes it even more bearable (nice idea btw)

an intervall checker that scouts for normally impossible exp-jumps should indeed do it's work...

And if someone tries to hack he should get a message like: ,,U think u can hack my map?...WAtch ur computer next days!"

I like those messages^^

heheh, nice idea
But I better go guerilla style and sabotage the save code or just crash the game cause then they don't know what it 'em!

Yeah preventing sudden exp jumps, not at the start of the map obv , is probably the best way.

aha! Asgard likes those messages? here you go: ^_^


... sooo, here are some info about: Guest

Sunny ur name is Daniel

BTW those are the stats from my fathers computer^^

Edit: I indeed meant messages which show u that the owner knows what u did^^

lol! +gg

Spoiler:

Actually, until now, I thought that those signs just display random things. Like "Most people are using Windows and Firefox, so let's put it in." xD

thats what i thought as well when i first saw this. but that are really your stats - the point is just that its dynamic and shows each user their own. ^_^

The username that i put ahead was done by using

Code:

{USERNAME}

-forum variables ftw!

I just remember how exact the thing is with Netscape... when you're using version 7.2 and it's showing "hello mozilla/netscape 5 user"

it's really useful sometimes to have an outdated browser, those things don't even know how to detect it properly

I still use IE 6. And Firefox.

two browsers? that sounds somehow... paradox...

Firefox's actually the best in my eyes - I only switch to IE6 if there's any site I can't access correctly with FF ^^

A little sit rep:
I am going to release a beta version of DotD this weekend.
I just want to finish the sniper and something about the difficulty system. (Medic and Operative are not re-made yet, they are almost the same as in the other versions. All other characters are upgraded now^^)

PS: at gamesite200.com we jumped from place 26 to place 6 in the category "warcraft sites" within the last month Let's do at least the 5th place!!

nice!

i will make an announcement on the portal by today evening.

pm or post some valuable facts about the beta and provide us with a download link when you're ready. you should also create a topic beta-reports or something similar where people can write their problems/bugs etc in.

and yes, we made it into the top ten ^_^ keep voting for us and also use the outgoing link on their page to get back to the forum to increase our "out" voting statistics!

Just put it up and I will drown you in bugreports. Im gona report bugs that dont even exsists
Ohh and btw. @This new background rocks!

mucho gracias!

so... let the flood begin! ya... well, you know... i will support you... mentally! +bucktooth
