EDITOR MODe

[bb1]

Wow Rabbit, you got DX to transgress the forum barrier.

A rare feat indeed!

Should have made one exe with the editor intact and only disable any way of it connecting online. But that bridge has been crossed already...

Anything running on a system is subject to attack by hackers. Someone could find the flag saying "editor has been opened, prevent MP" and set it to anything they want. Separate EXEs -- with different code in each -- makes that job 1000x harder.

X360 does a lot of work to ensure hackers have a harder time (mis)using 'forge' mode. If Halo3 came out on the PC, then everyone would be using that mode in regular MP. Please stop asking to make BZ2 like some other game. Time to lock this thread, as it's going nowhere.

GSH is right.

1: it'd be too hard to do.
2: Not really worth the effort.
3: You could make a DLL that could work in MP similar to a forge mode. With a ui interface that u can select things to spawn, and the DLL can spawn them. DLL can do almost anything

In fact you can already do that on halo3. I know of at least one game variant for unmodded 360s that forces forge mode in regular MP. The variant was created on a modded xbox but anyone can download it easily enough. Dunno if it's still posted though. It was originally made so that you started with flamethrowers

wait so your afraid if you make editor exe multiplayer people might will find away to
use it on bz2 exe multiplayer

All BZ2 uses the same gamespy server. Hell, I could go into a 1.0 game using 1.3TA5.1 if i set it up right. I'd get bad assets, but i'd be able to enter the lobby.

Just changing the gamespy version # won't do that. Lots of work is needed, especially considering 1.0/1.1 is UDP-only, and 1.2/1.3 is UDP+TCP.
