Well now you can prove it. SMILEY

I've created a quiz on Flixster based on all 3 Matrix movies.

So test your Matrix knowledge by filling out the 15 questions. SMILEY

No-one has 100% right yet... as I've purposefully made it challenging in places.

Anyway CLICK HERE to take the test... end enjoy! SMILEY

Just thought I'd say hi, as I resubbed today, and should be jacking in again as soon as I'm patched up and ready to go. SMILEY

(What can I say.... I missed my Hyperjump! lol)

To those that know me... Hello again! *waves*

To those that don't... Good to meet you all. SMILEY

Ok, so we all know that Data Mining while AFK is an exploit (albeit, a pretty obvious one of you ask me), but I've not seen anyone come up with a solution to the exploit.

I think that "Mother Nodes" are a good idea... but tbh data mining has always been a pretty worthless tree... so here's my thought:

- Allow more info/second to be collected from nodes in general (enough to make datamining worthwhile).
- Every time a player taps a node, their Agent-O-Meter increases (even in non-restricted areas).
- If a player taps one node for more than say, 5 minutes at a time, 3 lvl 255 Agents spawn (after all, they always seemed to appear in 3s in the movies).
- Once the Agents spawn, they attack any player character within a certain radius, effectively clearing out the area. Either that, or make Agents retaliate if they are attacked by other players.

This would certainly stop AFK DataMining, and make it more exciting in the meantime.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but whenever I was in restricted areas, and an Agent spawned... it was a ruch running away from them. I hardly ever see Agents now. SMILEY

Anyone have any other ideas? (Constructive ideas, obviously. There's no point turning this into another "lets complain about what csr did what etc etc.... just ideas about the DataMining tree in general please)

You must realize the truth: There is no post. Then you will see it is not the post that has moved, only yourself.(Off Topic)

Have you ever wondered what organisation would suit you best? Well look no further.

http://www.quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=125777

This is just a quick test as to what organisation suits you best for
MxO play. Its very basic (only 9 questions), so if someone would like
to make a more in-depth test, feel free.

(I may decide to create a more in-depth test with psychometric testing etc, but that won't come to fruition until the new year)

Anyway, enjoy! And post your results. SMILEY

* And in case anyone was wondering, yes I did come out as Zion SMILEY

I know this is technically the wrong place for it (mods pleeeease don't
move it if possible! SMILEY

), but there will be a party tonight at Club
Polyvinyl starting at 9pm GMT (4pm EST).

This is to celebrate the unity of Vector in the forthcoming server war, and to get back to the wicked parties we used to have!

Here's the details:

Please tell as many ppl as you can - a good turnout
would be great! There should be around 60m $i available to win in
various ways, and there will be PvP competitions on the roof of the
club (No PvP in the main party area... offenders are disallowed from
entering any competitions being run throughout the evening)

Hope to see a lot of you there!

Ok this has kinda arisen on the general boards, so I thought I'd post in here to get everyone's opinion.

To decide the winner of the server war, I propose the following:

A weekend-long event: Construct Domination

We will monitor constructs over a weekend (not sure how, but we'll find
a way!), and whichever server manages to maintain the control of the
construct is the winner.

eg:

Saturday: Yuki & Widow's Moor Construct Battles

Sunday: Zero One Construct Battle

This is the best that we've seen so far... if anyone has any other
ideas on this, feel free to post them. Once we decide which option is
the best, we can post it in the general boards for *spit* Recursion and
*spit* Syntax.

Ok I've been trawling my fave game sites, and came across a couple of
news stories that perked up interest... the main one being that Shiney
Entertainment are looking for PSP and XBOX 360 programmers.

Have a look at this LINKY

Its insinuating that a next-gen Matrix game may be on the cards from Shiney...

What you all think? Good idea? Or bad?

Personally a port of PoN would rock, but then its just another ported
game... I'd really like to see a kinda hybrid of PoN and ETM... and
have that ridiculous ending reworked.

Anyway I just thought I'd post it, as I hadn't seen anyone else mention it yet...

I've seen this around a few forums lately, and I thought this would be cool.... I've created our very own map on Frappr.

Everyone stick your location on the map (you can even zoom right in to choose your exact street! SMILEY

)...

Enjoy!

Hey guys - I know a lot of us use xfire, so I thought I'd post it as it seems to work a treat! SMILEY

Its a plugin that displays what music you're listening to, and it works
for wmp10 for me, and I think its also compatible with itunes and
winamp....

Anyway... enjoy!

Ok well, as the title suggests, this is to post your msn space & myspace addy's and see other ppl's etc...

So to start the ball rolling, here's mine:

Its still getting stuff added to it at the moment, so there's a LOT more to come, but feel free to post a comment n say hi. SMILEY

It struck me that the pets we have in-game at the moment (proxies) are
kinda dull.... everyone's looks the same, and they don't act as they
should 80% of the time anyway... so I was thinking about how they could
be overhauled.

Firstly, the bugs with the proxies not doing what they're told needs to
be fixed... but I was also thinking of some other possibilities...

It would be cool if you could code different types of proxy - like you
can choose their loadout, or possibly create proxies in the form of a
Lupine/Vampire/Ghost etc (obviously those would be higher-level
options)...

I was just thinking about reloaded, and that if the Merovingian has his
pets (the Twins & Lupines... yes I know they are exiles, but I'm
still thinking they used to be normal programs, so can be coded), then
we should be able to code interesting alternatives to the human proxies
we create now... after all, variety is the spice of life. SMILEY

What do you all think??

Greetings Redpills,

The Children of Zion are looking for new recruits - this is to combat

the growing number of enemies within the Matrix, and to fight for the

cause of Zion as best we can.

We have operatives from all over the world within our faction, and

there are always operatives jacked in to the Matrix in order to lend a

helping hand.

We are one of the longest-standing factions within the Matrix at the

moment, dating back to October 2004 (during beta, obviously).

We are looking for operatives that can meet the following Criteria:

- All applicants must have a Zion reputation of 30 or over (you can check this by typing /reputation in-game).

- All applicants must send a pm via the official forums to their contact within CoZ.

- All applicants must have a teaming session with their CoZ contact on two separate occasions.

- All applicants must post an application on our Forums.

/OOC

Our faction is based upon one principle - have fun! We are here to play MxO, and have fun while we do.

We're not a red=dead faction, but we do actively participate in PvP a lot, and do have a lot of hardcore PvPers in the faction.

We have our own Ventrilo server, and use that often just to have fun,

discuss event puzzles & goings on and to co-ordinate during PvP

battles.

/IC

If you think you have what it takes in order to join our ranks, please

follow the link to the forums above, or go to our website at www.matrixonline-coz.com

Ok I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm on the vector server, and when all the fun started kicking off, Vector has had NO activity whatsoever.

We've been running around for about 3.5 hours trying to find the assassin, but wait a minute - he can only be logged into one server at one time!

So we've been listening to AWR while Syntax first kill off the assassin
fairly quickly (grats btw - I hear u got cake! SMILEY

), now we're waiting
on Recursion... but unfortunately they are taking ages to kill the
assassin's copies!

So everyone is on Vector getting bored, and have just turned to PvPing as normal, which is getting boring very very quickly.

For the next event please please allow LET players to log into each server at the same time!!!!!

That way those of us on other servers aren't just wasting time (I'm in
the UK, so can't stay online really really late into the night, so I'll
most likely miss everything.... oh great!).

Check out www.gizoogle.com - here's a little bit of the Matrix script translated into ghetto-speak... SMILEY

Original:

Can you hear me, Morpheus? I'm going to be honest with you. I hate this place...this..zoo, this..prison, this...reality.. whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell. If there is such a thing...I feel... saturated by it. I can...taste, your stink. And every time I do, I feel I have somehow been..infected by it, it's repulsive. I must get out of here. I must get free...and in this mind...is the key.

Gizoogled:

Hiya - I know this isn't a tech query, but I didn't know where else to
post this so it would get noticed as TSR-Joel appears to be the only
guy resembling a moderator that we have on these boards (we need more
IMHO).

The spam and offensive content on the Vector
World boards is getting really really out of hand, and needs removing.
This is normally the kind of content I would've locked and removed
within a few posts in my old Mod status, but alas I can't any more.

There really needs to be regular moderation of the boards, because
players are getting to the point where they can post whatever they
want, and it makes no difference (there are several topics where I
would have given an official warning to the user too - some of the
content is that bad, and persistently repeated).

Are there any plans to bring more mods in? Or is it something that
you're lumbered with, Joel? (If so, I feel sorry for you already! You
already do so much for us guys!)

Anyway I hope this can be resolved soon.

Hmm ok well it was bound to happen sooner or later.... but please
please please - if you're gonna steal a sig and use it, at least alter
it enough to make it your own work!

Here's a sig I created for a CoZ member a loooong time ago:

And here's a sig I just saw in a thread about 10 minutes ago:

The least he could've done was remove the whole border, or leave it in.... now it just looks shabby... SMILEY

I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery.... still, it'd be nice to have good imitations.

Ok this is something I picked up from my days in beta and live as a mod, and it seemed to help a lot of people, and as its a standard fix, I thought I'd post it.

If your game client doesn't update properly, or you have difficulties logging in or any problems remotely client-related... here's the first thing you should do:

1) Go to your main MxO game directory, and delete the *.zcf files. To be uber-thorough, you can delete the Profiles directory as well.

2) Restart MxO, and do a Full System Check.

If you're getting update errors and are in the UK using any of the following as your ISP:

ntl

ntl:Freedom

Virgin.net

Tesco.net

Which.net

You will need to add a proxy server into your Internet Options. Here's how you do it:

With Internet Explorer open:

1) Go to "Tools", then "Internet Options".

2) Click on the "Connections" tab.

3) Click on "LAN Settings".

4) Put a tick in "Use a proxy server for this connection".

5) Add the following in the "Address" and "Port" fields:

Address: 62.252.192.4

Port: 8080

6) Click on "Ok" and then "Ok" on "Internet Properties".

If that proxy server address doesn't work, you can use any proxy server from the list on this site:

Hope some of you guys find this useful! SMILEY
