Got 3 people so far. 3 other maybe. Wanna have like 5 or 6 total.

Oh, and I run a CMS called IP.Content It does allow raw php coding, and is built right into the forum software. Allows easier page/template management, while giving the freedom to code anything you can outside of a cms. But it does make page editing very simple tbh, can even just copy and paste another page, and edit it. Would rather people understood the stuff, but can be a good start to understanding.

http://www.ssgn.net/guide.php - One of the current things I want to start work on. Client section with info about navigating the client. In Game section with info about what is on your screen. Also want to have a few videos of the actions (cheesy ie. This is a repel, click here to see a repel in action.) that they can click on the link in the section, pop it up in a fancy box like the other videos, and play it to see a repel in action and know what it does. Same could be done for bombs, bullets, thors, etc. But just a simple guide with some help from Ajax and remap the image using some CSS to create hover boxes so they know what can be clicked on, etc. Probably use the old SS in game image with all the ships, icons, etc. Really simple to get going, but just need some help getting it all planned out.

Yeah. It used ftp to download, edit, and reupload the files. Gotta go through Quotes and TokTok still as I was 2x checking all the ssgn files I found in the ftp log to make sure none got missed.

Actually, it was always kinda thought/wondered, and recently major connections were made... Priit may have had access to the source at a point in his development. But that is a WHOLE different topic.

There is a lot of updates I wish to do to SSGN that will take more time than I currently have to give. So to help keep this site moving, I am searching for anyone with web skills willing to help out. Basic HTML/CSS knowledge is a must, and PHP/SQL knowledge a big plus. Don't need much in the way of graphics abilities, though could help. Mostly looking for people to edit/add/help build content. Just comment or e-mail me (polix at ssgn dot net) with your name, alias, location, days/times you're online, skills you have, what you'd like to help do, and why you think you'd be a good addition. Thanks!

the need to change greening - Now: How to keep new players
PoLiX replied to fresh's topic in General Discussion
Being Hallu was in control when you played Chaos before, and is in control now, not quite sure how management "change" has destroyed your Chaos. Passplay didn't alter much during Hallu's break. Sneakerz might have, but doubtful he did much derastic. -
After all the scans, nothing really turned up. Ran a couple different virus scanners (1 normal, and 1 deep scan), and an adaware scan. Then had Microsoft's program go over it again for the hell of it and the worst that turned up was 1 popup ad. Otherwise all that was ever detected was a few "trojans" in the update files from a recent java update. Trying to remember if anyone else ever had the password to the ftp. It used that user, though I deleted 2 other ftp accounts I setup for Sama and Mav to be safe. Baffeling... How was php a cause of this? edit: Guess I didn't state this was all done through ftp, so assuming you thought it was a php injection exploit.

Started thinkin that was possible. It had been a while since I last logged in (Feb 09th according to log). Searching through the log though, noone else but me had logged in through that account until this. So wasn't even a "lets see if this works". edit: Scannin the hell out of my computer right now, and changing 1 other ftp login I had used in the past months.

Well, tbh, not even a clue how they got in. The password for SSGN (ssgn.net domain and subdomains, and no that is not the actual username) is used NOWHERE else, and had numbers, chars, and special chars. Made the pass 10x harder now, and a lot longer. But brute force was on, so I dunno how they got in yet. Root reported no logins, server reported no brute force attempts, etc. But it seemed to be a bot moving through the ftp editing all index.* and login.*/auth.* type files. It'd add an iframe line, and knew the difference between html and php in how it added it and where it added it. The ip was 67.61.120.63 and located in Texarkana Arkansas. Soon as I changed the pass, the server locked it out for "brute force attempts" for having incorrect login. All should be good for now. Will keep you updated on what I find. Edit: I still haven't fixed Smong's site (toktok) or Quotes site. Will work on those tomorrow. FTP log shows they were only other subdomains hit besides Forums, Files, and Ticket sites.

Well, that could be done by the title.dat as I mentioned before I posted this thread when discussing in game. But the flaw there is updating all the downloads, and then you have to fix all the continuum references already out there, etc. It is a swampy mess we've got ourselves in. Definately something I need to add into the guide/help pages I am working on.

True, but people have CHOICES to use those. You can still use AIM, and new users to AIM are pointed to AIM. New users either see SubSpace everywhere and told to download Continuum, or they download Continuum and suddenly find themselves seeing everything called SubSpace. They can't download SubSpace to play SubSpace. I'm for either or. But I had a feeling as is the problem many times in this game, noone would want to let go of the old ways. Kinda like the old council and SSC zone access, eh?
-
Mind naming a few other games? Just curious.

This is a topic noone has brought up for years now. So here I am bringing it up again. Talking to some new players the other day (1-2yrs), and they honestly had NO clue what SubSpace was. They thought it was just the server, and the game was called Continuum not SubSpace. One of them knew it had been a client, but didn't know why we still called the game SubSpace. He said most people he plays with call it Continuum. So it got me thinking... are we confusing our new players by telling them to download a game called Continuum, and then continuing to call everything SubSpace. We've now used Continuum longer than we ever did SubSpace. Is it time we honestly embrace what we really are, and try to make something of it? We always think "we'll find people who remember SubSpace", but maybe we need to search for people who remember "Continuum" instead. We do get a lot of hits from people searching for Continuum, and more clicks on "continuum" than "subspace". We gotta do something to begin moving forward, and stop living in our current state of decay. Maybe it is worth thinking about dropping the possible confusion factor, and calling this Continuum not SubSpace. Mm?

Could always make it like the freq size, hybrid to the population. As population goes up, initial bounty goes down. Could even have it done at the same time the frequency size changes. Definately something to think about. -
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1155622p1.html On a side note, got tons of co-workers over there right now on 2 naval bases (uncle just got back 3 weeks ago) and they've been sending us video links, e-mails, updates, etc. Might share some of it later.

If your Continuum folder is in C:\Program Files\ this is your problem. It doesn't have permissions to overwrite the map file. You can either move Continuum or delete the map file. Might be able to change permissions on the folder, but dunno.

Wanna find all the ones I can. So start linking away gentlemen

The server you're posting on right now has access to the SSC biller. Only reason I ask about nix.

happen to have a proxy that will run on linux brain? (just another situation)

It will be moving. Hoch pays for the current Server, Argyle just admins it. I helped Argyle find a cheaper server in the same datacenter as TW/EG/SSCX and during a huge sale at that. So DSB will now be on the east coast. He's planning to move it once the SSC firewall has the IP whitelisted. So should be no worries about DSB shutting down.
