So... where is the level data? What's the format? Some more information would be nice.

Sigh. How is this even happening? As far as I can tell, it's not like the people periodically hijacking old accounts are actually exploiting any security holes in the board (if they did, we'd see many more attacks on recent/actually active accounts, I imagine). Are old backups floating around somewhere that people just rainbow table? (Why bother?) Or is it that one or more of the many schismatic boards runs periodical "tell us your old board2 password so we can go there and spam using your account" drives or something?

I don't have the energy to constantly have to do these cleanups, but at the same time, I'm not sure if there is anyone in the intersection of "would make a good admin" and "would be up for being an admin" (or at least I'm fairly jaded in that regard after the last attempt at contacting people in the first set returned a uniform battery of "sorry, but no"s) to add to the staff, and anyhow, our security model has traditionally been keeping the really heavy guns (that is, the power to do deep log analysis and perma-delete things) in the hands of fewer people than powerlevel=3 still, so as to prevent "someone got into an admin's account and caused tons of irreversible damage"-type accidents.

Any creative solutions? One thing I've been thinking of is adding some sort of trap for reactivating accounts that have been unused for more than one year (that is, the account is flagged "old" and you need to get an admin to explicitly confirm its reactivation), but I'm not sure if that wouldn't just shift the brunt of the attacks to newer accounts or discourage activity further.

The RHDN-hosted images all don't seem to allow hotlinking (and hence are broken here). It would be good if you could rehost them somewhere that does, e.g. our own uploader.

I don't think there's any substance to the "Turkish hackers".

That being said, I discovered some nasty server move related security hiccups which might well be related to the problems we have been experiencing. Please change your password, everyone.

It's not like you haven't been provoking him yourself either. Sorry, but board2 isn't an American high school; we have neither the resources nor the interest to do bag checks at the entrance and micromanage every single thread to make sure people don't fight.

What makes you think no action was taken? There's more to this incident than what transpired in public. In the same spirit of not holding unnecessary high-noon town square shootouts, I would strongly encourage you to relegate any further misgivings you might have about this to PMs

Well this is the final version of the banner I decided on, if everyone agrees I'll have blackhole bring down the old banner this weekend.


This looks like a shoddy 10-minute mspaint job. What makes you think that you can "have" me bring down the current banner in favour of that? I believe you already should have been warned, in various degrees of official capacity, about making yourself seem important/acting like you run the place by now...

Happy belated new year, everyone.

2016 and this place is still here. Considering the original Acmlm's Board started around 2001 or so (before my time, so no exact date there)...

Mike-Tech: If you have nothing to add to a thread beyond your disapproval of it or some users posting in it, stay out. Consider this your final warning; any future instances of you entering a thread without making a constructive contribution, no matter how bad anyone thinks the thread itself is, will be answered with a swift ban until further notice. I appreciate your contributions to other parts of the board, but we are reaching a point where letting you go around and pick fights unchecked only sends the signal that the administration has lost any will to do its job.

Given that the original poster's account likely has been taken over by our dear attritionist brigade and the remaining discussion is focussing solely on drama, I think it is for the best for this thread to be disposed of.

Shush. Stop it, both of you.

Instead, have some good old-fashioned raves.

What is this by chance, just by listening to it for a minute, some of it sounds like it came from ray storm and some psx games.
Though its not my cup of tea, sounds annoying to me.

This, judging from 2 seconds of Google.

The first song in the video is actually the worst one, which is not to say it may not still not be your cup of tea even if you were to skip to the middle.

Okay, Mike-Tech, that's quite enough from you. You keep picking fights and being somewhere between rude and incoherent in spite of repeated warnings. In this instance, too, surely you must have realised that the posts you were making were well in the territory that you were warned against straying into again.

Mankind ill needs a saviour such as you.

It's as Termingamer2-JD said. All reply counts should be fixed now.

Индекс находился вне границ массива.
Given that this is "index outside of array bounds", could it be that there aren't actually that many battle dialogues? Does this also happen if you go to positions beyond 7?

(Sorry I can't help much beyond providing subtitles for the benefit of someone who actually knows their way around the program here.)

But if I delete at least one symbol in the name location, it happens:

If you put the character back, does it go back to saying "0 characters left" or does it say -7?

Problem 2: I asked about this. Giangurgolo told me it's due to the compression of the names in the ROM. I admit I don't really know what this means exactly, but what I took from it to mean was there is a certain way the location names are arranged in the ROM... that's all I know.

This would simply suggest that the compression scheme in the code is set up to favour strings like "To Mario's Pad" - think of it (probably a very simplified model) as something like the following having happened:

  • Developers decide to reserve only 7 bytes of space for the label of each spot on the map to save memory.
  • Want to put "To Mario's Pad" on one of them, but this is far too long.
  • To fix this, developers add an extra piece of code that says something like "If the string is '$M$', replace it with 'To Mario's Pad'" to its text decompression routine. The map label of Mario's Pad is set to '$M$'.
  • The final effect is that the label "To Mario's Pad" can be represented with just 3 bytes, but "To Mario's Pa" requires 13, or 6 too many.

Not diverse and inclusive enough. I'm going to rant about this on my Tumblr blog.

There is a sticky about this in this very forum section. It's just above your thread.

What just happened here? Did a bunch of RPers spill out from some other forum?

A quick google search suggests that at least a random sample of those you listed are already a real thing... for instance, Sit and Wait is so '50s.
