I noticed this server was playing on a map called "farm2".. and is using the most current patch. Although I can't tell if it is connected to FN or not.

Should this be of concern?

I can tell ye he's not on FN... and he's not a veteran nor a former FN host.

I can't tell you if he's developing or cheating. Though the map name has me leading towards the latter.

Dang, so I guess that means me and Sembelbin aren't going to be making sweet love afterall? :(

I swear MS:C is either your full-time job(+overtime), or there is multiple Thothie's...
I do appreciate you checkin' in on things, and the quick reply. Sorry for however many minutes of your time I wasted, though.

You da man Thoth!

FN servers will always have the [FN] tag on the servers name, at least 90% of the time.

I always thought [FN] should be auto-added to the host name on connect of FuzNet, kind of like the plugin that automatically updates timeleft in hostname on CS.

I know it's not a viable option because:
  • No extra manpower to code such a thing
  • There aren't enough/new servers to even need it
  • You can easily add/remove [FN] from server.cfg
  • You'll know if your character is/isn't there on connect
  • All Seeing Eye Thothie knows all, doesn't like sploits, and has been known to feed Gabe
  • A bullet-list was required to explain it's viability.
  • derp.

Well since we know he's not on FN, I just find it humorous that someone would go out of their way to do a farm map, when the developer commands are available to us. Trying to short-cut the game in an ass backwards way, I guess?

Or... I could be a complete A-hole and he's really a cool dude beta testing his lore related farm themed map. :wink:

I still wanted a date with Sembelbin though.. :| #NoRewardClub

Better luck next time. ;) There's certainly no shortage of exploits to report though. :\

Eh, actually, such a function would be pretty simple... There's already a function that'll cause your server to dump itself if it has [FN] in the name, but FN isn't enabled.

I suppose it'd be best to just check if [FN] is already in the hostname, and you're a legit [FN] server, prefix the hostname with [FN], if you haven't already added it yourself.

Interesting, I didn't know such a feature existed. Guess it's not much of an issue since FN is a tight-knit circle. Cool to know that it could be done and added in the future, for you know, when our population booms into the tens of thousands. ...Any day now, I tell ya!

I still don't know how you manage to fux with real-life, code the nightmare that is MS:C, and still be on-point with responding to my forum posts in under 5 minutes. My bank customer service isn't even that good! Can I call sploits?!

^With that said, sexy time with Sembelbin yet? If that's not a good enough sploit, maybe the brown-nosing will tilt the scale in my favor?! Hahahahaha.. good times.

Brown nosing won't help - though donating to the community - either via materials, or even just reports that help us plug up holes, will. ;)

Obviously, given the delay between these last two patches, I've not had all that much time... But, if anyone posts anything on the forums, I get a pop up here or on my laptop. I am, ever so sadly, rarely far from either the home rig or my laptop - or someone else's computer, with an RDP connect to my home rig... I've got things to monitor and other crap that pops up, so I has to keep in touch with the old electronic ball and chain. F*CKING B*TCH RUNS MY LIFE! My own "Millie" is pretty much playing second fiddle to Agnes at this point...

Well DAMN! Can't say I didn't try! Hahaha, well it all makes sense now.
