IP Addresses

Sun, 05/18/2008 - 12:19 — aquajam77

im pretty sure that when you enter an IP address (ex. 765.432.1.030) you should also be able to enter it as 765.432.1.03 and you should get the same thing, because the zero should just be filled in at the end for the third digit since nothing is there. I have tried that but it says that the player/person is not found

I don't know how it is

I don't know how it is intended ingame but the IPs
3.*.*.*
003.*.*.*
300.*.*.*
03.*.*.*
30.*.*.*
are all different. My guess is that they are compared as strings and not as numbers ingame.

IP Addresses are NOT numerical...

Yes, they are numerical at face value but, the game reads them as a string (text). With any text string there is a huge difference between 3, 03, 003, 030, etc...

Another way this should be obvious....take a look at the API Functions:
lowerDeposit(STRING ip, float amount);
zombie(STRING ip);

getSourceIP(); returns a STRING value...

etc

I don't know the code, I dont

I don't know the code, I dont know the devs. All I could do was to guess and minding these functions it was what came first to my mind^^.

PS: (often?) You can input more than three numbers into the last box.
I haven't seen such an IP yet and maybe there is a restriction ingame but the input isn't restricted in the last box (and it isn't cut down to three numbers as well).

It's restricted when you sign

It's restricted when you sign up. Heck, you can put more than the allotted numbers into any of the boxes.
