Title: Closing Player Slot
Post by: Spanky on Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 13:48:15 PM
That's pretty cool what you did with that Jonny. Shouldn't there be a way though to detect if AA is running and if not, close the slot? I can imagine that a lot of people won't bother to close the slot just out of ignorance.


*EDIT*
Perhaps:

Cant detect if armyops is running effectively in all 3 platforms, in linux and mac yes, in windows, i don't think theres is a way.
leaving slot open doesn't really matter anyway since version 2.32 the slot is locked to your IP address.

O.O I would think the opposite. I know it's easy to scan for process name and PID in Windows. But, that's good that you locked it to IP, my suggestion isn't needed then :)

No unix based operating system are far easier to work with, Windows is full of bugs and workaround and workarounds for compatability. it a nighmare. dos with pictures. like assist still has to use 8.3 filenames in shell paths ffs.
