This is going to bug me for days on end. Electricutioner came in to my Tribes 2 server today and informed me of a “minor oversight” he discovered in my mod. He proceeded to give me a series of hints, and respond to my incorrect guesses. A very, very shortened chat log follows:
{NOS}Electricutioner: Hah..
[Kr]_Sloik: ?
{NOS}Electricutioner: Oh… nothing.
{NOS}Electricutioner: At least.. nothing… major.
{NOS}Electricutioner: But none the less… amusing… I think.
[Kr]_Sloik: What are you referring to?
{NOS}Electricutioner: Just an… um… oversight… a laughable one.
[Kr]_Sloik: Could you give me a good hint?
{NOS}Electricutioner: No, but I’ll see how long it takes you to figure out.
{NOS}Electricutioner: And I’ll tell you when you fix the oversight.
{NOS}Electricutioner: Well, if it makes you feel better, I had a equally stupid oversight in ECM for about 4 years until Turkey told me.
[Kr]_Sloik: OK… code or construction error?
{NOS}Electricutioner: Code.
{NOS}Electricutioner: If you don’t get it in like 2 weeks… I’ll tell you.
{NOS}Electricutioner: Yeah… it’s so minor, you’re going to laugh and cry when you figure it out.
{NOS}Electricutioner: Oh, and I’ll give you a hint. It has been around for about… three weeks or so.
He speaks in riddles…
sloik2004 Lab Notes, My Games, Projects
Haven’t posted here in like, ever!
Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot lately. I’ve created my new DarkStar Game System, which can be found here, and I’ve also added a bunch of games for it.
People are looking at our house often, it’s kind of weird. But we think some people are gonna buy it soon, so that’s good.
Hope to post again soon.

The Defend The City 2 Beta is ready! I’m going to officially release it tomorrow.
Pretty much the only things that need done now are
- Seperate Scoreboard for Defense Mode
- Multiplayer Mode
- Shields
- Maybe a few more turrets.

I’ve been hearing more and more lately of people starting to view my blog. Which is pretty cool, since it’s kind of why I published this stuff here in the first place. The only thing I’m wondering is where are the comments?
There are no comments under my posts! In case you don’t know, to post a comment simply click on the “No comments” at the bottom of one of my posts and it will take you to a direct comment page. Just make sure the comment has to do with the actual post you’re putting it under. If you just want to contact me, then just click on “Contact Us” on my main page (http://haydenmcafee.hopto.org).
Unlike some people, I’d like to know what people think of me and my thoughts 
Anyway, I’m thinking I may upgrade my main site to Joomla, since right now I’m running the old version of it, named Mambo, and this version may have open security risks and stuff like that.
I’ve opened a new site for the Machines community at http://machines.hopto.org. Hopefully this will get rid of the ads on the old hosting service it used to be on, and free up more space for mods and other things that Machines community members may make, not to mention faster speeds.
I’ve also gotten a Tribes server running succesfully here. All I needed to do was to go into SSH (Secure Shell) access, upload Tribes, and run the server. Since my web server runs on Linux, it was quite easy. I also recieved some valuable help from my web hosting provider.
Now, remember, if you have any thoughts, click the No Comments button below. Or if someone actually commented, it might say 1 comment, or however many number of comments there are.
Bye!

Yes, Defend The City 2 will have multiplayer support, and yes, it will be better than the old Defend The City 1 Beta Multiplayer. Some features of the new multiplayer version that will be included are:
- A Coop Game Mode
- A Versus Split Screen Game Mode
- New turrets specifically designed for Multiplayer (Thanks to Ryan for Idea)
- A Master Server List! YAY!
- Chat
- MAYBE a buddy list. MAYBE.
Right now It’s coming out well. The Master Server list is done, all I have to work on now is the engine itself. I’m gonna base it off of DTC1’s Beta multiplayer, but improve it a lot.
One thing that I’m hung up on is whether to integrate it into the single player Defend The City 2, or to include it as an extra executable. I’m leaning more toward integration, because it would mean resource sharing and a bunch of other features.
Oh, and I’ve pretty much given up on the Samson Network
