Just curious now....Is this sarcasm or serious ? Just to clarify.... 

It's a little banter between me & Dav3.

Read the ReadMe.

I've updated the download link in the main post. No registration necessary to download, not even for this site.

The mod could just be changed and recompiled.

I got shot and dropped into the light

I don't understand this.

Perhaps this setting is messing with people:
Win7
Control panel > Sound > Communications - Default is 80%, I put on do nothing.

Never touched that. Maybe it's because people use microphones and that might do it? Windows is perhaps lowering the volume of other applications when your mic is active?

Was something recently changed or something?

I have Win 7 pro 64, and havnt noticed anything. Granted my ears are still fked but I wasnt aware there were any difference between the sound in xp and 7?

Deets?

For once, we agree on something. I've never once experienced any bad audio, volume drop or anything weird on several installs of Vista, 7 and 8.

I think it might be people missing the EAX effects that used to work in XP but hardly works in later versions due to Creative's technologies being obsolete.

you should also note that if youre going to be displaying this information, use htmlentities() to prevent xss /csrf attacks. Unless of course its already filtered from when spanky extracts it. Either way it can't hurt =D

Most of these stats couldn't be altered by outside people unless they hacked into the master server. Players & Servers are calculated by parsing the server list so if that got hijacked, the code would screw up in trying to add the non-numeric text to the tally. Pretty much the only one that could be 'hacked' is the 'top server' and could easily be done by reporting a server to Assist with 40 players, making it the 'top server'. So, the top server text is passed through this:
<?php $name = htmlspecialchars(preg_replace('/[^(\x20-\x7F)]*/','', urldecode($pieces[4]))); ?>That strips weird characters that gamers come up with, replaces the %20 that Assist uses for spaces and replaces <, >, /, and &. So the output shouldn't harm a website. After running it through that, I also do a mysqli real_escape_string before entering it into the database for this site.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to re-process it on your end just to make 100% sure. I'll be the first to admit, I didn't go to school for this so I'm sure everything I make could be done better and probably isn't 100% secure/safe/efficient
