OP2 Winsock replacement

I wish I knew where the cheats were stored in the game.... Probably self modifying code.

If I can do it, I'm going to write the OP2Sock with anti cheat technology built in (ie. it will detect the cheat code and either not let it work, or maybe even disconnect the player or something if it's used.)

Edit: I may warn people if they post cheats.

I will enforce a moderator query on you if you continue to post like you have been Luweeg.

Cheats can easily destroy a game. For instance, if you were playing against someone you know you could beat and suddenly you look over and they have a massive army of tigers when you don't even have Rare Ore and they don't even have trucks going to their smelters, wouldn't you say that its a bit out of balance?
1st moderator query.....ok i'm lost again

2nd it may not be fair, but it would be funny, just like in cs when you see a guy flying around and walking through walls and getting a headshot from 50 yrds with a ak

3rd (garrett i told you the democrats were coming) . . . i'm lost again

4th like anyone could read my unusual text anyway

A moderator query is when we have to go thru the work of previewing all of your posts before they can show up in the forums.

ok im at loss, how do we know if some one is using a cheat and that the other person does not cheat, this is unfair to the people that do not cheat and thoughs have the advantage of knowing the cheats and using them.

Back on topic will this work with all operating systems, and how far has it been to geting it working so far?

So, any updates? Just wondering since it's been about 3 months since the last post.

I've been wondering the same thing. I can't play until I get that update. And believe me, I've tried everything else.

It's kinda coming. I had yet another "revelation", and hopefully this time it will work.

Btw.. I know a lot of you are probably sick of waiting, and are probably angry at me..... but this is pretty high level programming, and network programming is not my strong point. But I can do it. It's also going to take longer considering this is a solo project.... I am getting no other help for it.

Alright, these are the times that I am on IRC (again, Quakenet channel #outpost2):
All times are Eastern Time (GMT-5).

Mon -- Fri: usually around 4pm - 10pm
Sat: usually not, but sometimes 6pm - 9pm
Sun: usually 3pm - 6pm, then 8:30-9:30pm after that.

Besides that, here are some early op2sock screenshots:

My computer doesn't seem to want to let IRC to work, and the online version isn't working well either.  :(

Anyways, okay, and I'll try to be on at the reunion thing.

If you can't connect or if it takes a very long time to connect and you have a router or some other NAT (hubs, gateways, etc...), forward port 113 (TCP) thru to the computer that will be using IRC. (This is the identd port - connects should be much faster)
