Have you tried using DxWnd?

...

Providing you are in 32 bit colour depth.....

I'll have a word with Cisco, he may be able to come up with a way to edit the window size via the launcher, and the registry values edited after the size has been changed.....

This does not work, Dxwnd just ignores the X and Y size settings. If i disable stretching the client crashes. The launcher could do that directly but there is a problem, i have to know all the border sizes from xp,vista,7 including there styling/theme modes (classical view, low performance vista/7 view, high performance)

EDIT: OK, figured out you can read these widths directly from windows: SM_CXBORDER and SM_CYBORDER.

EDIT2: Wrote a test code, the maths are now correct but the window cant be resized via windows natives (user32.dll) or the build in function...

You're welcome @map

Here is another guide that has been made by Jakke: http://cisco211.de/data/hostilespace/Gu … ntro_1.txt

I know its very old and not quite right but it may help too.

About the smuggler example:

I decided to use Terrix as Race, to get that Bonus offense. In this case, your defense is very weak but you can do a little bit more damage. Another choice for defense is hull regen, but i never tested it. Through this post i think that kalarix is the best choice too, if you compare the stat points (O.o cis, you selected the wrong class).

If you (i mean the new player) need help, just ask in the /shout channel, the community is very friendly and helping newbies out (most time).

PS: Just forgot additional informations which may help ingame can be found here: http://hs.cisco211.de

im not so sure, once supa/angus change a certain amount of the game it no longer the original work of blitz,  as long as they dont charge money for it,  using software that checks process list for 3rd party software before logging in wouldnt break any laws

This wont be enaugh.

1. Do you know the process names of 3rd party software thats used?
2. This would be an endless fight, what happens when the bad guy just renames the process?

What we need is a real protection then, but as 3rd party software it would lagg the client. Also the reason why steams VAC and VAC2 is a bad idea, its to much consuming, example: i have to idle the steam process if i want to play, else the games are unplayable because keyboard and mouse is delayed more than a second (uuh what a nice protection). AND VAC is not made to protect any games, its made to protect GoldSrc/Source/Havov based games.

We need a protection directly included in the client. But not simply a deeplevel keyhook detection, it must be more...

now might be a good time for supa/angus to look into some sort of steam like software to ensure "fairplay"

this will never happen, hs still belongs to interadventure inc. and im very sure blitz wont allow that.

I think auto-restart after crash would be the best. For example if my Server crashes or goes down, he will automatically start each service again. This means i can reboot the entire server without stopping anything before and starting anything after. I dont know if that helps, supa you could attach hshost.exe as a windows nt service (its possible to let almost every program run as a nt service).
