(half year ago when it was still popular) cuz i know it and it veeeery cool Yeah, if it was used in the [hA] server it would've been my tool. It has got rankings and stuff, though I'm not sure what kind of impact this is gonna give when I try running it on a clean windows install. I think you'd understand it when you see the code, I have a totally home-programmed socket that lay's on the core of the internet (yeah, even etherdetect doesn't have that lol). It captures every single packet (all sockets do, but you don't see that ... normally it's protected so you can't modify the IP headers), after capturing the packet it filters it eventually ending in a HUGE RF Filter that understands quite a damn load of the RF network. I once even succeeded to take over the packages of a server and modify them, what I could do seemed impossible ... I could do basically ... everything. I could let players kill themselfs while they didn't do anything I could steal their weapons or give them new weapons, I could teleport them to other locations. I could do much and MUCH more. I'm still cleaning up the source ... This is gonna take a bit longer then I first thought. And Sypher ... Why there would be a master tracker? Why not ... You've seen in the past that the main tracker went down a number of times. It's always good to have a little backup tracker so no-one has to keep flooding THQ with emails once it's down (Mailing THQ doesn't even got a usefull purpose, next to knowing that your email will probably be deleted the next day or that a computer will answer you question). sypher   Posted 19th Dec 2005 9:37am Post 98 / 0 Quoting Vidi44 Quoting sypher ok i heared from www.redfactionveiw.net that it wasnt up 4 everyone yet And how old was the information you read there? Did you check the timesamp on it? Did you read any of the other "Gametracker" threads? How about the "Volition Game" thread (I know you read that one, I highly criticized your noob posts on that one)? Volition had to physically move the GT because of some sort of hardware problem. The IP for the GT did change, as it was physically moved. The DNS (Domain-Name Service) points the text you enter in (for say a website, like L4Y) to the appropriate IP address (I'm not sure what L4Y's is). Because of this, the DNS linked to the wrong spot. It took a few days for the ICANN and several other international agencies to update the DNS to its proper place, and distribute it to the different ISPs. Because of this, the GT appeared to be down for some people, but up for others. As it has been well over a week since then, the DNS would have updated fully for every ISP, worldwide. Thus, when we say "everyone" has it, that means that everyone has it (we never said "everyone" until we were sure the DNS was updated worldwide to point to the GT). i read the post the day after the master server came back so i think it was new goober's textures!!!! JUST SAY I DIDNT KNOW!MY CLANS FORUMS!!!     goober   Posted 19th Dec 2005 11:12am L4Y Member Post 1315 / 265 it was...... then. but this is almost a month later For anyone reading this in 2019 or later: The RF community is alive on the Community Discord [Faction Files]     Page 4 Multiple Page Topic : 1 2 3 4
