News postings about updates and fixes to the game.

CLEANUPDATE patch

Hackers,

We did a small update today to fix the few bugs found with the clan NPC (thanks to davexdavexdave69 and his great testing). More updates coming "soon" !

Also, new standalone chat can be found here. Enjoy.

Small Chat Update

There was a very small chat update tonight. Things that changed:

- The clan's channel will now get its name from the tag, not from the clans name. This was done due to the fact that some clan names were longer than the 15 allowed characters for a channel name. This might be set as optional in the future.
- The clan leader will be the only channel admin for the clan channel.

Bugfixes and Chat Update

Bugfixes:
-default port not displaying properly should be fixed
-the infamous "Numbers of Doom" are gone

Chat Update:
-added /me coloring
-moved tags to before username
-changed [admin] tag to [dev]

Small update, really just a warmup for things to come. Hope you enjoy!

Chat Update

Hey guys, Chat 2.0 has been added to hackwars!!! There are still a few bugs, but that's what beta testing is all about. Enjoy, and please leave any bug reports in the forums or send them to us some other way. Also, many thanks to aoi222 who was the primary developer of Chat 2.0; without him we probably wouldn't have a new chat, ever.

Please see http://hackwars.net/wiki/index.php/Chat for info on the new chat commands. This info is also available ingame at Help>About on the chat window.

--------------------
Other updates

-- ~Game Messages pane has been separated from chat, and is it's own window. This will eventually evolve into a console once we get chat polished off.

-- Network Map bug with DoSCDatabank has been fixed.

-- Zombie windows now initialize with target port 0 instead of the zombie source port (requested by lord13).

-- Pasting IPs into IP Panels now use trim() - no more trailing whitespace at the end! (requested by lord13).

GUI Fix/Log Functions Patch

Restart your browser and/or Clear Your Java Cache

We've made some updates to the file browser based on user input. You can now switch between the list view and icon view. We have also added in a few more functions to make things a bit more interesting, and added our helper functions we added into the challenge API -- so you can use them for challenges.
