hey a present for you guys!!!!!!!!!

[Guest _Sheepcidus_]

well I say go for it !

 

and for all the guys that thinks hes BSing a lot of people do this there's a LOTR Mod for aok in the making check out this thread at aokheaven.com, if you make the RA half as good as that It would be nice

[Jedi_Knight]

Delphi start making it now and then more people will use it once you have actually made it

[Delphi's Clone]

under 30 people is too littel i need more or it wont be worth it it takes soo much time to do i want alot and i mean alot of people playing it

[Guest PhantomMenace]

I am confused by the people on this board. First off the start flaming SWGB by saying that 2d graphics is old, then they turn right around and say, "Total Annihilation rulz!!!" or "Red Alert rulz!"". I wonder if it escaped their minds that both those games are 2d also, and have been 2d religiously since their series started. Now you gonna have people saying, "TA has 3d units that are only presented in 2d.." well if you cant see the units in 3d space, meaning you can see almost every possible angle on them, and you cannot zoom in and out or rotate the map then the game is pretty much a cool 2d game. So even though SWGB is outdated with 2d graphics for some reason everyone wants to make a total conversion to another old and outdated 2d game engine????? *makes a Dr. Evil gesture*

[matt--]

Didn't you say you needed at least 4 people to start making it? Now it's 30?

 

What's this about a non-configurable firewall thing anyway?

And these 3 firewalls:

Hardware or software? Include pics of hardware(in your home)

list make & model numbers

WHY do you need 3 firewalls? I myself run 2(1 hard, 1 soft) just to cover any holes one might have...but 3? That's B.S.

 

Do this and people will begin to believe you...at least I will...maybe.

[safire]

I smell nothing but hot air...this is a farse.

 

Let's see it.

[Delphi's Clone]

why three

 

well i have 1 hardware

2 soft ware northern internet sec. and black ice

beacause my comp is very expensive........ and i can turn all of them off but some people just cant understand that i cant risk my very very expensive computer to hackers thats why i cant play GB over the net and sniff sniff i want to...............

 

well keep the wants comeing..............

[1MGxLeGion]

ok if you have the almighty computer like u say boy you must be an idoit to pamper it like that and never really enjoy it get real you think there is a bunch of hackers just wait for YOU and YOU alone to take down your firewalls . like you on top of their list. DID YOU PISS MANY PEOPLE OFF????? but i don't understand why you need such a GREAT comp if you pretty much scared to use it.

[Jedi_Knight]

delphi: once you MAKE it people will want it,but alot of people probably don't belive you so just start making it

[matt--]

Lets see a manufacture/make/model & pic of that hardware. That's all I want.

 

And a triple-firewalled computer is nothing if it isn't patched.

Firewall PROs

 

A firewall can prevent certain specific attacks, most notably disconnects from spoofed unreach aka "click" - this is perhaps its most important (and some would say only unique) contribution to your security.

A firewall can block inadvertent holes in your computer's security, such as if you unintentionally leave open file or print sharing or some server software such as for FTP. Instead of relying on a firewall, however, you should check your security (try the Shields UP! site) and just fix these vulnerabilities .

It can protect against operating system attacks described in the previous section, but if you regularly update your OS with the latest patches this is unnecessary.

It can sometimes help to prevent disconnects due to very slow flood attacks such as from another modem to your modem, but that's like a vest that protects you only against slow bullets - you're still defenseless against real harm.

Finally, firewalls can block the action of Trojan horses because a cracker can't remote control you if he can't even connect to you. Likewise, a firewall can stop you from sending out Internet "worms" (often called email viruses) if you're already infected. On the other hand, you wouldn't need the firewall if you didn't foolishly download and run the Trojan or worm in the first place, since there wouldn't be anything to block! I often hear people who complain, "I've already gotten viruses 3 times this month! I need more protection!" My answer: "No, you need to learn to stop downloading junk from the Internet!" Trust me, if you don't get smart, a mere firewall isn't going to stop you from getting viruses for the 4th, 5th, or 100th time.

 

Firewall CONs

 

Personal firewalls cannot protect you against serious floods, because it is only software and is run on the tail-end of your relatively slow connection, rather than at the ISP's high-bandwidth side. Consider if a river is threatening to overflow, you have to try to stop the flood with barriers at the river banks. If you don't do that, by the time 10-foot flood waters surround your house, it's useless to try to stop it just by sandbagging your front door. This is a very important point, so let me repeat it: No matter what clever software or hardware you run at home, you will always be vulnerable to flood attacks (e.g. ICMP flood and smurf) especially if you have a relatively slow connection.

A firewall can report failed attack attempts, but this is not helpful for a lot of technical and philosophical reasons, some of which are covered in our tracing help page. Bottomline - 99.9% of the time it's just a false alarm and gets you all stressed out for nothing.

Firewalls are not a "plug and play" magic fix that you download, run, and forget. They take time to set up, can be confusing to many people, and require constant configuring and updating to adapt to new attacks.

Firewalls often get in the way of your legitimate network activity. Although most firewalls are configured by default to allow things like web browsing, they often need to be taught about DCC, identd, ICQ, etc. or else you won't be able to do those things. If you don't have identd, for example, you will have trouble connecting to many EFnet IRC servers, and you are completely banned from DALnet.

Finally, firewalls cannot block, find, or remove traditional viruses which do not generate any network activity; that is the role of virus-scanning software. For example, if you get an email virus attachment, your firewall will let it through since email by itself is an allowed activity, and if you open the attachment designed to erase your disk, it can still do so since that doesn't involve any network activity that the firewall monitors.

 

 

but hey i wouldn mind seein the mod.

[Delphi's Clone]

lol i made the comp my self lol if you want i can tell you all the parts that are in it.................

[matt--]

That would be cool...I just don't care. Believe it or not, I know what I'm talking about. I too built my own comp.. and I know that firewall hardware is EXTERNAL.

 

On top of that, I connect through an external, hardware firewall and have no trouble playing any games. Just let someone else host. I repeat again, show me a picture of your hardware firewall, in use.

 

Not to mention, hardware firewalls don't stop outgoing access(unless told to do so). Your comp could still be infected with an irc trojan.

 

And this "northern internet sec." firewall. Let me see a link. I've neverheard of it.

and my external one is a

 

Ultra-High-Speed Internet-Sharing Router-With Printer Sharing and Built In Fire Wall

maade by 3com Home Ethernet Gatway i'm not going to take a pic of it lol but if you really want to see it go to tiger direct and finde it.........................

 

 

 

 

and to the other post what did nooooooooooo dont do it mean?

[Noruas]

I'm sure that most people who owns a copy of RA2 would love to see a star-wars mod for it.

 

But I dont believe for a second you can do it; considering all the effort and work needed for this kind of project - you need at least a team of pros, or else you'll get mentally and physically exhausted. (except if you are a total and utter nerd, who dont have a life)

 

Or, you are trying to B.S your way into more attention on the boards.

[Guest Stryder]

Sure I'd like that!

yes that is true i could not make it on my own but i do have freinds that could help me alot it would be very hard work and would cost me probably more than 3 months to do at minamum. i do have a life alot of people seem to want it so i'll do my best ok but i dont know if i can do it i'l try though it shouldnt be that hard and if it's really good who knows maybee i'll sell it to lucas arts so they can make a game out of it an i'm not trying to get attention

[matt--]

#1 Lucasarts will NEVER EVER buy anything from a consumer.

#2 You don't have a hardware firewall. model number is not the same as "Ultra-High-Speed Internet-Sharing Router-With Printer Sharing and Built In Fire Wall

maade by 3com Home Ethernet Gatway"

And I don't want a picture from tiger direct. I want YOURS in the picture specifically. And be sure to include a pic of your $5000 computer.

[Abeex]

um, before someone runs out an buys antivirus 2001, thinking they have a nice shiny firewall, id just like to say that when i bought mine there wasnt a firewall included in the package. now if you were talking about nortons internet security 2001 that is a software firewall and they bundled antivirus in it.

 

just throwin my 2 cents in *shrugs
