Cross-Platform Gameranger

...and that would be civic?

[bronto]

woot xo. this version works on win 98. some of the names don't show up though. probably the one's with the mac characters in them. how can that be fixed. plus, i get banned for 30 min when i put in PC characters

oh and are you going to add ability to customize the color theme? it'd be really cool if you could make it skinable :-D

oh i also can't change my nickname, password, or real name. and i can't get infos. and the names that don't appear, only appear when i click the name.

i figured out the disapearing names, but everything else still doesn't work. and it periodically crashes about every 10 min.

Nice, but the OSX version is teh sexiest...

[spike]

looking at those pics again, I actually really like how the i.p address's are displayed, I wish gr was like that(is it?)

[onwig]

spike, i would hazzard a guess that the i.p address thing might be the admin side of GR... but i am probably wrong.

So with xo cracking this code (excuse me because i am complete moron when it comes to stuff like this) does this mean he can access all our passwords, emails and other details including payment details etc?

No, I can't, and i'd never attempt to do that either.

But you will steal years of hard work that evill has done for everyone in the mac community, and he has done it for free.

So xoclipse, if you will excuse me I cant believe a word you say.

I've said it before, and I had hoped I wouldn't have to say it again, but I will anyway:

...it would have been bad enough that you made the (illegal) client, but giving away the source code is like making unlimited copies of someone else's house keys, putting their name and address on them all, and scattering them about the city. I swear, you must be out of your gourd to have done something so incredibly foolish, shortsighted, and dangerous. I sincerely hope that nobody alters that code so that this client can be made to allow the users to do anything malicious, (ie. add file-sharing capabilities, give themselves admin powers, steal user information, etc.)

Even if HE says he won't do those things, (and his word is, at best, highly suspect), thanks to the source code floating around, ANYONE with the programming know-how, and a grudge, (and how many people have been banned from GR, and would want 'revenge'?), might be able to do just that. And that should scare everyone, whether you support xoeclipse or not.

Nice builds xoclipse, but it's not right like Bardiel and onwig state.  Why don't you make your own *original* application?  You seem to know how, put your resources into your own work, not patch up and recreate someone elses hard work.

[TRIBE_Horda]

awsome work Man

u look nuff skilled to do ur own gameranger without microsoft like "buy me and u could use ur voices programms jerks, gime gime 50 $"

hmm instead making it for pc, give us a clean "game whatever the name" for the mac

[Civrock]

yeah... and get your own highspeed broadband server etc for free, so you won't have to deal with kids who want everything for free.

[.vooDoo.]

I have tried to get this to run on my linux box with no luck. I am running Redhat 9.0, is there something I am missing.

no need to feed the evil , boy

[Civrock]

feed the service you use, free-loaders...

[BTs_Lee.Harvey]

I Hope Evill fries your ass Xo... I feel like Wiggy and Ethion... Its nice that you have the know how to do this.. but you should not have released it to the public and you should not have given the scorce code out at all. Thats like giving everyone that lives in your city the keys to your car and telling them that they cant drive it.

[crypt]

Well said, Harvey. Thanks for shining some more light on this issue.

[Croosch]

Well, sorry for the late post first of all. I thought I would just post my own opinion about this issue. As a pretty abid Game Ranger user I see two sides of how a PC GR would be. It would increase the intensity of play and maybe make playing more fun (not implying that it is not currently fun) But on the other hand it would most likely ruin the Mac gaming community as we know it. I guess I am against this . . . but maybe I would be a bit easier on this issue if he did have the consent of Evill.
If this were to grow larger in the PC gaming community I would be very sad to see it possibly be shut down . . . I hope it doesn't get that far

Voodoo,
IM me on AIM sometime today, my screenname is xoclipse. I'll try to help you get it up and working. I compiled it on Fedora Core 2. Not sure exactly what problem you are having....but just IM me and well try to figure it out.

[Bardiel]

Yeah, it's me chiming in, yet again. Found something that you might want to read, as it's VERY RELEVANT to the stuff happening here.

here's the first paragraph from the article, so you have an idea what it's about (click to read more):

"On Tuesday, President Bush signed an historic free-trade agreement between the United States and Australia.  As part of the deal, Australia will be enforcing new intellectual property laws very similar to the DMCA...."

Something tells me this saga is about to get a lot more... interesting.
