Headshot!

A new headshot map, omg!
I'd be up for giving it a spin online if that's happening.
Not much multiplayer going on around these parts anymore, the focus has mostly shifted to singleplayer maps.

I think even the dedicated DM players left don't care that much for new maps, though you may want to post it at quakeworld.nu for feedback. No review sites to my knowledge.
Of course, it's always possible to throw in some monsters and we'll be all over it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick answers and great info! I just need to sort out a few niggles and then I'll upload a beta somewhere and post a link here, maybe we can meet on a server (Bal, anyone else?) and see what's what. The tricky part would probabaly be to meet there at the same time :-)
It'd be nice to get some feedback on balance and maybe sticky parts to clip before release.

Could this new EU-law affect func?
Anybody know something?
#30223 posted by brassbite on 2018/05/13 18:33:07
My guess: Somebody would have to sue func i.e. metl, in order for anything to happen at all.
As there is nothing to win from that conflict, nothing happens and we all keep our status quo.
Well

Func could stop exposing everyone's IP address for a start.
It's funny how func doesn't require anyone's details or even an email address to create an account, but then exposes your ip on every post.
I guess that's why a lot of us use TOR when posting on func.

Well, otp hates me, so I must be doing something right.

What specific harm could hit my devices, because of my IP-adress being revealed? Viruses homing in on me like a Vore-ball?
Lol

Of course I'm not talking about viruses or anything like that. I'm suggesting that it's better to keep the user's IRL identity private by default, without making them jump through hoops if they don't want their actual IP address appearing every time they post something on this public forum.
I'm just wondering what displaying the poster's IP address is supposed to deter.
If someone want to troll / spam this forum then displaying the IP address does fuck all to stop them, because the troll / spammer can easily spoof it (and interestingly they don't even need an account to post (fucking lololol))
I Agree

The IP address should not be published. It should be replaced with a hash of the address plus some salt.

I don't know. But, because I'm outside the EU and this is not a commercial website, maybe not?
Hash Of It...
#30232 posted by Preach on 2018/05/14 08:38:51
Need to be careful how you do that, you'd need the server to store a distinct salt per IP. Otherwise an "attacker" could brute force the salt from knowledge of their own IP and hash, then use that to brute force the other IPs on the board. At that point you might as well just store each IP that's seen on the database, generate a unique ID for each one and tag each post with that.
Hash, Salt, A Sprinkle Of Herbs....

Sure. But what is the reason for even displaying anything there in the first place?
#30234 posted by mankrip on 2018/05/14 14:05:06
I suggest we display our accurate geolocation data instead, along with our Social Security number and blood type.
The more social, the better.

To be able to identify trolls. But I don‘t remember, might be a case of we‘vv always done it this way. For the record, I‘d rather get rid of them.
#30236 posted by I Could Be Anyone Lol on 2018/05/14 17:18:34
All trolls hide their ip address because it's so easy.
If the idea is to say "Oh he is posting from a proxy / TOR node then he must be a troll" then that means legit users either have to live with their location being exposed, or accept their troll status i guess?
How About
Don't troll?
You're not witty, you're not funny, you're just embarrassing and a pain in the ass. Fuck off back to whatever shithole you came from.
Heheheh Otp..... You Just Described Yourself... Hauahuauhu *drools*
