The problem with java isn't the memory. It's the lack of client side protection. You won't be able to stop cheaters without introducing a hell of a lot of lag by making everything server side. If you're really clever you may be able to minimize the impact of this, or you may not be able to.

You only need two rails for a single rail gun, and they shouldn't be magnetic.
-
There's no one that can fix them, so he can't be reporting to them. QED.
-
Lets replace the players on this forum with spam bots. At least then we might get ideas that are possible.
-
I had nothing to do with net banning this guy. But SSCentral is just as much of a democracy as Hyperspace (i.e. not at all).
-
a.k.a. Dovin Basals?
-
Those are player run bots. They have nothing to do with Hyperspace. EDIT: didn't see the new page. Oh well.
-
If, by your own admission, you don't want access... why did you ask for it? You don't need it, after all.
-
Don't talk to Ceiu about anything mod related. He is/was a dev, not part of the moderation chain of command. Avast, unlike Hoch, I wouldn't hesitate to ban you if you made trouble.

That's not the way security works: you don't give someone access to something they don't need to complete the task. You can create your arcade on your own computer using something like XAMPP, demonstrate that it works to Polix, then give the code to Polix to integrate with the actual forum. You don't need access at any point along the way. That's the appropriate way to do it.

I fixed it. Uploaded spider's change while I was in there.
-
It's also the largest modification in years, as it's the only modification in years... Zone's back up.
-
You lost our interest when you tried to drum up our interest by not telling us anything. Oh, and then there's the fact that you've historically written posts demonizing us for trying to explain simple concepts to you. It certainly doesn't make helping you very attractive. See the fable about the scorpion and the frog. Sorry.

Hyperspace used to have something like that with clouds in the hypertunnels. One set of fly-under clouds were completely opaque, and one set were half transparent.
-
PNGs do support an alpha channel, but Continuum ignores it. Only completely black pixels are transparent in-game, regardless of image format.

Brute forcing can be done with names as easily as with passwords. More easily, in some respects, as it's easy to get a list of common passwords and have a bot give you valid player names. Without the lockout, you could get into a sizable percentage of accounts with very little effort.
-
Yes, this time you did more incorrect passwords than any other time. Nothing has changed on the server side of things. It did that to me back in '04, for sure, and it was old news even then. You obviously don't understand the point of a lockout if you want it to accept correct passwords. The point is to prevent brute forcing accounts. Accepting a correct password is the same as no lock out.
-
Yeah, it's always been ridiculously long. Since only the undead control the biller, there's nothing we can do about it.
-
Is the picture some sort of allusion to us "thinking you're an ignorant savage"? Because I'll admit that I do, at least.
-
Yeah, we've said it before: a good mix of stats is a bad item. It decreases choice.
-
I second that. Good job, whoever is responsible.
-
You could be right, I've never done anything on an iPhone. The only apple product I own is an old 5th gen iPod. Hopefully someone with more free time will take up the mantle instead. If not, I'll still give it a go.
-
I think there was a cartoony "POW!" in the center of the white one. But no, nothing more complicated than that.

PNGs and GIFs inside a LVZ have a higher overall compression ratio than a BMP inside a LVZ. This is because zlib doesn't have any image specific focus, so it's not as efficient. In any other scenario I'd say it doesn't matter, but the SS download protocol is so terrible that every kb saved is a big deal. I've spent a lot of time tuning the HS images for the optimum balance between visual quality and download speed.
-
BMP isn't going to be as small as a GIF or palletized PNG in this case, since it can't do RLE effectively.
