At (Somewhat) Popular Request

[Tsar Hoikas]

I decided I'd push the legal boundaries tonight and post this. As the page says, this is an ongoing project. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions.

Anyway, back to cleaning up the wiki >.>

Well if (myHeadExplodes != true) && (meWithLittleProgrammingExperience = true) then
I can understand it, though I do think you're pushing your luck with Cyan's legal department.

As much as i'd like to read more about it, it might be an idea to ask Cyan how much you can divulge

it might be an idea to ask Cyan how much you can divulge

Then I would be limited to only say what Cyan wants (nothing). It's better this way. Besides, this isn't telling you how to write your own MOUL server and add your own content to it (I specifically said it's not going to teach you how to hack Plasma... It's all in the way of instruction for creating content).

plgDispatch::MsgSend(new plStealthModeMsg(this, GlobalKeys[plFixedKeys::kCyan_KEY], 0.0));

(There is no such thing as a stealth mode message, and this is pseudo code based on factual knowledge)

I feel it is important at this early point to remind everyone that what we are doing here, actually almost all of what we are doing here, is against Cyan's legal wishes.

I urge everyone to stop conjecturing on what Cyan will allow or not allow. If Cyan finds that this information goes to far, they will contact the GOW or Hoikas himself and have it removed.

Saying you think we should check everything that we offer here with Cyan first would mean that this whole guilds functioning would cease completely. If your not in favor of shutting all of this down, I would suggest you think twice before admonishing your fellow hackers here about what you believe Cyan thinks.

Thank you Hoikas for providing us with more useful information!

I agree. This is great, this is what GoW is about!
Worrying about legalities is not what GoW is about, unless GoW means Guild of Worriers.

Thanks Adam for this great information. Keep on writing!

I know, i'm just concerned about my budies here

Nice article Hoikas!

[Jojon]

Aaaah, brilliant and promising.

It's always better to have a grasp of what one actually do -- too many layers of abstraction tend to breed more confusion than they dispell -- not that /me, for one, groks all that much of the article atm, but in the end, hopefully. :)

*works hard on getting rid of the read-"pl"-as-"perl" instinct* :P

Hoikas!

This is really nice, Plasma for the masses.

Just don't try to teach them plKey-insertion via hex-editor.

Or, "how to knock your nearest resEng over the head with a large plATCAnim'ed rock" then you'd get a few "cease-and-walk-to-your-nearest-jail" orders.

I can see it now: In our next installment, we're going to talk about the wonders of the AG Modifier and its buddy, ATC Anim. We'll also intruced zOMG channels, so we can animate that rock and fling it into unsuspecting idiots!
