MikeTheNose Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 School = Not play time. Dormatory = The administrators don't know how to segment traffic from classrooms to the dorms. Quote
Guest Canadian Bad A$$ Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 School = Not play time. Dormatory = The administrators don't know how to segment traffic from classrooms to the dorms. School = boring so play time is yes. Last year the ports were not restricted and I still got all As while playing CS in class. Dormatory = no because there is no student housing and I live at home. C'mon can't I use a proxy or something? Quote
Fluffy White Bunny Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 Kindly ask them to free up some ports for "educational use" Quote

ExplodyThingy Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 Ask em to open the server ports so you can claim to develop a game server. The development is going to part of a class !@#$%^&*ignment. Then. dont do it. And just game. Quote

ExplodyThingy Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 Not if you do it JUST right. Quote
orb360 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Look up a program called Socks2HTTP... then find someone with a socks2http proxy... if you find one, let me know cause im in the same situation... Quote
Nurples Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Umm.... CTM uses S-*BAD WORD*-s5 Quote
madhaha Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 And you point is? Socks2http takes data intended for a socks proxy, tunnels it via http and presumably gets converted back at the other end. It uses http via port so you can use it through a firewall. Set up a proxy on your home computer if you have broadband. Quote
orb360 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah... CTM connects to socks2http running on my machine using a the socks5 proxy option... socks2http converts it to http and transfers it to a proxy outside the firewall. This proxy converts it back to socks5 which is then sent to a socks5 proxy which then converts it to a game packet... Hmm at least thats what I think it does... anyways, the only thing allowed in and out of most college networks is HTTP anyways... Quote
madhaha Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Buy a connection Its not THAT expensive. Quote
Guest Canadian Bad A$$ Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 WTF My school doesn's sell connections, and I have cable at home, I just need to kill time in boring--*BAD WORD*- college. Quote
madhaha Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Set up a local subspace server then. Quote
Fluffy White Bunny Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Just play the uber l33t single player version edit: aww it doesnt work on this computer...it worked with windows 95 =( Quote
Guest Canadian Bad A$$ Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Well isn't there a chat client or something that I can atleast talk to ppl in zones, or would that use the same port as well? Quote
»SOS Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Everything uses the same port. You're not supposed to play from there! Quote
Guest Zerzera Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Get to know senior students that did some sucking up and have access to network related stuff, worked for me, but that's maybe because I do an IT related study. Quote
Guest Canadian Bad A$$ Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 lol there aren't really any seniors, the college is brand spankin' new. I guess I will just work at school. Quote
