1st: make a vs of PS 4 crappy comps, so that pll that dont have 5000$ comps can play PS
2nd: make it so that if yr running 2 clients of 1 IP, make it so that u need 1 \"key\", 4 things like bots, so that u dont get n00bs having 300 attack bots running around killing everything insight(note: make it so u have 2 buy the keys of PS itself[yousin PS$ ofcource]so that it dont become a pain in the ass)

wow that was eloquent

/me wonders if he should bother...

1. Please make a version of PlaneShift that can be used in low-end computers. That way potential players will not have to buy expensive computers to play PlaneShift.
2. Please make it so if you run multiple clients of PlaneShift using the same Internet Protocol, you have to use a \'key\'. That way, there won\'t be any players that run clients with many macro bots that fight everything in their range of view. Please make it so you have to buy the \'key\'s from the PlaneShift Team using trias, so such occurances will not happen.
1. Run the Setup, you can lower resolution, depth, and change it from OpenGL to Software rendering.
2. Maybe they should just block multiple clients from using the same IP?

5000$??? are you guys totally nuts?
i can get a pc:
25oo+ athlon XP
512 mbram
128 videocard
80 gig hard disk
..... for only 500$
so where the hell do you get your computer that is costs such a gigantic ammount of money??
i agree that when you run 2 clients from the same IP, you need a special key to be able to run them both at the same time.

thank u 4 \"translating\" me lol
but can my ideas work?
(btw, i have a laptop, & i tryed lowering the resolution all the way 2 the bottom & it still wont work
its a 333mghz laptop w a crappy videocard, though it has ALOT of ram
-
I\'m still waiting to see these 2 GOOD ideas you speak of... ;)

333mhz is a pretty bad machine in the first place.
Though I do think keys should be needed to run multiple clients off the same IP, they shouldn\'t cost anything.

*yawn*
Any person who knows how to run a macro bot should be able to use a proxy server as well... so there\'s no point in having keys.
-
Script kiddies know how to run bots, they don\'t necessarily know how to use proxy servers
-
Yeah... don\'t tell the script kiddies.... no way they\'d be able to run a proxy server.
Not that planeshift is really going to appeal to the script kiddies (well maybe because its free) but this is going to be a MMORPG, not MMOLG (massively multiplayer online level grind :D). There will be no keys for planeshift since it is FREE.

Really? Dieing to know your ram.. :P

i have 288mbs of ram :D
but still i cant run PS on my laptop

I believe the PS team would like PS to run on as many different hardware configurations as possible, however it is currently quite demanding (and there\'s not all that much that can be done about it).
There may be other ways of avoiding bots, although requiring in-game \"keys\" is a new one, but I think there are too many ways around it for it to be effective. Some ingenuity will be required to detect bots and macro-heavy client use, if such things are determined to be against the PS rules (and I would think that they are).

Hehe my dream gaming rig fetches upwards of $15,000 Australian.
From my experience it is the script kiddies that just download hacks etc and make them available to companies like Punk Buster who in turn block and detect those hacks. Its the people that make the hacks and keep them to themselves that are the real problem.

you call that ALOT :S i run with 1536 atm, i\'d like to call that ALOT :P
and why the keys, just pick the pc\'s mac-adress, convert it to an md5 string and you have your identicall key, so every person has a different key, and nobody can cheat that way.
now was that so hard to come up with.

The keys idea was keys that are given by PS.
So if there\'s more than one person in a house that plays PS, they\'ll have to ask for a key to be able to play at the same time.
But I\'m not sure how it\'ll prevent them from getting many keys, and running many clients with bots.
-
but u c my key idea ONLY applies if u run 2 clients AT THE SAME TIME!, so 2 ppl can play planeshift on 1 comp, just not at the same time(& BTW, THE LAST I HERD THAT WAS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSABLE :P)o sry 4 caps, left em on

So it\'s actually useless, because people would be able to open a client with macros on another comp.
so 2 ppl can play planeshift on 1 comp, just not at the same time
What I meant was if two people would play on two diffrent comps using one IP.

Ever heard of Backspace?

I don\'t think keys will work since this is an open source program. Someone can just recompile the program with a new function that returns a randomized key to the server and viola! They can have as many connections as they want.
-
Cryofame, the trick with the keys is that they have to be given to you by the server- if you just randomly generate one the server will reject it (this can be done by the server randomly generating a number and then sending both that number and an encrypted version of that number to the client).
By using large numbers (256 bits or so) it should be *pretty* difficult to hack.

youre all nuts!! take me drunk i\'m home...........
-
sorry \'bout that folks, im a little bit crazy someTiMeS..........
-
hey by the way how long does it take to get leveled up to cool newbie?
-
quiksilver012 next time you want to keep posting can you edit your original post instead of spamming 1 sentence at a time?
From memory you level up from cool newbie at 50 posts.
Your a cool newbie now... Im assuming you mean what is after cool newbie and how many posts does it take to advance.
-
That is just a title, others will judge when you advance from the \"noob\" rank. Spamming doesn\'t help...
