What's the hacking console for?

It's for hacking!

When you get to higher levels, you can learn commands to hack into other people's account and fvck with them... In the meantime, it means bubkis...

A tick is 30 minutes, and they seem to start ever half hour.

Thank you Captain Obvious!

Well, they could just start whenever you join. It isn't just that they last 30 minutes... they also start on the half-hour/hour mark.

Besides, you shouldn't be talking traitor

Not yet - noone is ahigh enough level to have learned any offensive hacking. I'll have it by tomorrow though (when my new HDD arrives).

 

[iamwiz82]

find ipinfo Mwilding

I have those commands.

The user has to be logged on for you to succesfully run the command. Don't go too crazy with it, it costs TP to try... Actually, I am online.... hmmmm

 

[iamwiz82]

i know, i tried it twice. 10TP isnt too much.

 

[GasX]

Come to think of it, I tried twice yesterday without success. I wasn't sure I had the syntax down (hence my post in the forum). It worked fine today though...

 

[iamwiz82]

i know why, its:


find userinfo Mwilding

or

find ipinfo <IP>

doh!

 

[GasX]

Ah - there you go

/me logs out...

 

[iamwiz82]

that happened to me once, after a while it started working again.

The server get's really stressed when a new tick starts. It is both processing the missions and dealing with everyone logging on to accept new missions...

I just found this post in the forums (A Stickied FAQ in the Help section):

Q - What are nodes?

A - Amount of hosts you bounce your connection off of for each mission, 10 being the safest but 1 being the fastest.

=====================================================

Q - What is balance for?

A - The higher this is the faster you will hack, BUT you will have a greater chance of being caught.

=====================================================

It provides a little insight into what changing nodes & balance actually do...

[iamwiz82]

[TuxDave]

I thought the game got hacked....heh

 

[Draknor]

"could not open socket to caida.org"...

Site still down, huh?

Dang - I was starting to get hooked, too!

 

[datalink7]

Up and running again!

 

[datalink7]

Ok, he corrected the rest of the tick bugs.

And everyone's hardware is in limbo at the moment I guess... if you ordered something it should be in by tommorow.

looks like a very slow, multiplayer version of uplink.
