Update! Dedicated to Drac

Submitted by mecha_cephalon on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 23:07

Hello HackWarriors,

We've got a new update up, and while it's not everything we had hoped to have at this point, we've got a few changes we're happy with:

- Script editor fixed (aka back to normal)!

- Regular NPCs now drop semi-randomized amounts of petty cash

- PopUp() function in HTTP is fixed

- Known exploits fixed

- Game Store infrastructure implemented - the system seems to work, and we'll be doing a bit more testing with the actual cash for game credits side of the system before we release it, but a working game store should be ready in a few days. In this implementation, we will have FireWalls and Hardware (PCI & AGP) up for sale.

We also have added code that's running behind the scenes which will be used for the development of quests. This is what Drac had been working on before his accident, and we are certainly not going to be applying any pressure on him until he makes a full recovery. However, the rest of us will do our best to get quests out to market, and we apologize for the delays thus far.

Finally, we'd like to dedicate this particular update to DraconisRavenix, and wish him a speedy recovery. Thanks to everyone who has posted their kind wishes, we'll be forwarding them out to him so he can read them while in hospital.

keep hackin'

The network stuff you can see

The network stuff you can see is not meant to work, it was added for some earlier testing, so don't worry about it. As for the NPC cash ... that may just be a product of the switch-over from a solid $600 to a randomized value.

I was really upset when I heard about Drac, words can't really convey the full meaning of it, but I sincerely hope you get better soon.

Pity the dreamer for he has many ideas, and few ways to describe them.
