I see that, in fact, I was right:

" “The official line, approved by their lawyers, and sent through Alex is that it is a violation of section 11 of the Rules of Conduct, which as stated in section...

This is true - however - what benefit would such a list have over, instead, having a filter created to warn you of the presence of such mobs anyway?

There'd be no reason for this to work.

Con's are served in their own packet, from the server, when you con a mob.

From a client's perspective, there is *no* difference between a mob that can...

Congratulations MVern. :)

Kindly provide us with a paypal account of your own, and, at minimum, you'll have my $50 USD within it, as well as those others who may have agreed with me.

Sure. I bet they would too. This isn't a bribe, this is a way to motivate them, if they haven't been motivated to this point. there's nothing wrong with that.

And unless you are trying to say that...

I never suggested otherwise. :) Doesn't change the fact that a "tip jar" may provide motivation.


Well, that's rather unlikely, since the code would be released as OSS anyway. Moreover, as I've...

Again, this isn't to pay for ShowEQ.

This is to pay for the time a Dev uses to fix it.

If it breaks subsequently, as I said, the devs have been quick to fix it - with the exception of breakage...

That's quite possible. But at the same time I don't think a Dev would risk the ire of the community by saying "pay me $50 again or no fix". That goes against the spirit we've seen in the ShowEQ dev...

Well, I'm all for having Ratt set up a "Tip Jar" that people can contribute to and Ratt can delegate the funds from on his own schedule. I have no interest in spearheading the effort, I'm just the...

you're missing the point. This isn't about "buying" seq.

This is about paying someone for thier time spent working on a SEQ fix. It's about motivation. I seriously doubt that whomever accepted...

..Even my personal donation is more than $0, which is what the devs would get otherwise, so even without support from the rest of the community I hope I'll make a difference.

But seriously.. all...

Ok.

I am an opensource advocate. I believe in the development model, in the community, and in the spirit that opensource provides.

I have also been actively involved in the Mozilla project for...

This is from the mouths of the EQOA dev team, via Baelish of Castersrealm:

One difference in EQOA to EQPC is that you can’t see how much damage another player is dealing in your group. This means...

I didn't say that. I said it would exceed EQ PC in subscriptions.



The do it now. They patch to your memory card. a 3MB space. look at the size of eqgame.exe sometime, and realize they don't...

Heh, you're forgetting two things. One, Consoles aren't just for games anymore (I use my PS2 as my primary DVD player. I also use software to stream video from my PC to it, so I can use my PC as a...

Ratt,

You're dead on about libEQ. Anyone who distributes either a binary of ShowEQ with libEQ compiled in, or a binary without source, are violating copyright.

That's important to note BTW,...

Very first thing is never take the community relations manager's word for something like that, your program *is* in violation of the EULA, and all it takes is someone else to create a ShowEQ -like...

..if your SEQ box is also your gateway/firewall, just "turning off" Kazaa won't be enough though.

Most Kazaa clients retry the IP addresses they were hitting for some time after you exit your...

Kazaa uses a port in EQ's range, and the packets look similar enough to EQ packets that SEQ tries to decode them, with disasterous results. :)

... now *that* I can support! :)

I actually posted my comments just to offset the suggestion that, like some freeware licenses, one could only charge "reasonable fees" for Showeq distribution.

Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?

Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell...

I'm fairly certain they could just use the call IsDebuggerPresent() to detect any sniffer that is using debug privs.

maggotboy, My mistake. :)

His code uses debug privs.

his "release" code just doesn't use *his* debugging code. It still uses debugging Priv's from an application standpoint, unless I'm mistaken.

This is detectable.

Has anyone successfully used a sniffer that does *not* require debugging priv's since the patch?

I've been using "senseheading" on both a 98SE and WinXP box without issue. Postpatch, the 98SE box...

Any hope of getting this to compile in MinGW or another free compiler?

I *really* don't want to have to pirate a compiler to get this to work. :(
