  1. Nope. The normal part of the game has 82 levels, and then the next level is -1. I don't know how many negative leves there are, but when you finish them you go to greek levels - alpha, beta, gamma and so on. Yes, that's true, so if you need something, ask me You don't have to worry about that, cause in later levels there is no Google box at all Well, it seems that with IE you can hear background music, which is important in one level only, until 31 at least. However, I play it with FireFox and it's better because of the source code. In IE you have it all thrown at you the way it was written. On the other hand, in FireFox it is all formated and coloured so you can easily see what are comments and what are not.
  2. I just found this topic, so I must revive it So, is there anyone who is CURRENTLY playing it?When I first started it, in NOvember last year, I played it with my friend, so it wasn't that hard. In December I came to level 26, and boom! I just couldn't do it. Then I stopped trying for some time, and yesterday I tried again. I thought I had a good idea, but it didn't work. I asked for some help on the chat, and they told me that my idea was good. All I can tell you without spoiling it is that you should never use download managers in this game. They have taken away one month of my life!Now I have come to level 31 and I have some small problems, but I'm sure I'll solve it

    Joomla 1.0.7 Released

    Joomla updates have always been easy to install, which I appriciate a lot. Just copy all the files to your server and voila!The main thing about this version that I like is this. In the versions before (at least 1.0.4) the language support wasn't really good. I'm not talking about installing languages, but how they look on different browsers. In my language, there are the following characters: č, ć, đ, ž, š. In 1.0.4 they didn't appear at all in Internet Exlorer, whereas on Firefox they did. Now you can see them everywhere
  4. Not neccessarily. As you can see, hacking should be treated as finding security holes in order to fix them. Cracking is bad - that way you endanger someone, and by being a hacker you endanger nobody and you benefit from the knowledge that you posses.
  5. I have noticed that nobody has made their review of this site yet. It is maybe the name of this site that confuses people, makes them think "is this legal?". The answer is yes. This site is one of the few sites that deal with hacking subject without actually encouraging or, in some way, promoting hacking. Actually, it isn't so bad to encourage hacking, it is bad to encourage cracking. This is how wikipedia defines a hacker: Anyway, back to the site. It can be accessed from this address: http://www.hackthissite.org/ The main purpose of this site is to introduce hacker wannabes (again, talking about computer experts) to to complexity of Internet and the variety of options available to a ordinary user. First of all, there are many challenges. The easiest are the Basic Web challenges. I have finished them all myself, but with a little help from the forums, since I had no knowledge of different types of injections. After finishing these missions, I know more about javascript injections, UNIX commands and <form> tags. Next, there are so call Realistic Missions. These are harder to finish, because there are some realistic elements. It is a lot harder to hack (this time I mean hack) a real system than a one which is meant to be hacked. Here you can learn about SQL Injections and other ways to fool the server. Furthermore, there are Encryption, Programming, Permanent Programming and Application Challenges. I have nothing to say about them, because I haven't tried them yet. When we move further on, we can see that there are a lot of useful articles, that can help you increase you knowledge. They vary from mission tutorials to complicated techniques. I haven't mentioned it, but in order to play these challenges, you must register first. This is good, because for every solved challenge you get a certain amount of points. This is where the fun starts. They even give you point to hack their site! I think only two people managed to do this, but there is still time for you to join them Next, there are a few ways of communication with other players. There is a forum, where you can find hints, but not solutions, for all of the challenges, and also talk to other people about other things. Also, you can talk to them by using IRC chat, which might be even more useful if you want to ask for help. To sum up, the site is great! Challenges get harder all the time, you can learn really much, and that is not all you can do. There are some really nice people out there to talk to. Negative stuff - well, someone can become a really evil hacker by using this site. My opinion: 9/10
  6. I was just saying that I think that would be hard work This CMS you are making should have as many modules as neccessary - mostly what kaputnik said. But, with all that, I guess it would be pretty big, which is a big minus. A CMS should be prepared for easy and fast upload. After that, installing a few modules that aren't so big shouldn't ba a problem. If you really want to know what you need, think what you would like to have for a computer related site, a health concerning site, a sport related site etc. You should also speak to someone else in order to hear another opinion. Well, I guess that's why you're talking to us

    Custom BBCode Help

    Now it's working :)As for the update, I'm not sure what you wanted to say, because even without doing that everything works just fine now.
  8. I think you misunderstood him (or did I?). He wants to make his own CMS Multilingual support Depends. If you want to spread your CMS, you must have. On the other hand, if you want it mostly for yourself and maybe somefriends, I don't think it is neccessary. There is one thing I don't like about Joomla! and it's their multilingual support. They do allow uploading new languages, but that way you can't change the pubilshed dates (i.e. it always says Sunday, 15 January 2006) Features Besided the option to upload new "modules", which is a must have, you ought to have user accounts, and if you want something else, for example a forum, you would have to make it yourself, which could be a problem. Templates Two or three templates will be enough. Databases I'm am not really informed how much each type of the is used, but MySQL is obligatory! Others If it will be available for download, make it open-source

    2Houdini Useful, I'm sure that will come in handy. 2m^e Let me check if I got this right. The div part should look like this: <div class='notetop'>NAPOMENA</div><div class='notemain' style= white-space:pre;overflow:auto;word-wrap: break-word'>{content}</div> Cause it's not working Here's a link to how it looks

    Custom BBCode Help

    Need help with one more thing. When I type some logner texts, instead of breaking it into a few lines, it creates a horizontal scroll bar. How to solve this? I see that the code tag works properly.

    Custom BBCode Help

    I don't have a home server, because I tried using xammp, and didn't like it a lot. But never mind, I have managed to solve the problem! Since I wasn't able to find the css file, I looked at the index.php source code because I was hoping to find a link to the css file that it uses. What I found in there was the complete css structure between <style type="text/css"></style> So I decided to try something different. I thought that the BBCode would work if I put the custom css between the tags and into the BBCode replacement. It looked like this: <style type="text/css">.notetop,.sqltop,.htmltop{width:300px;height:20px;color: #000;margin: 0px auto 0px auto;font-weight:bold;padding: 3px;color: #FFFFFF;background-color:#4A6A75;background-image: url(style_images/1/note_back.gif);background-position: left;background-repeat: repeat;}.notemain,.sqlmain,.htmlmain{font-family: Courier, Courier New, Verdana, Arial;color: #000000;background-color: #CAD7DD;border: 1px dotted #000;padding: 2px;width:300px;margin: 0px auto 0px auto;/*overflow: auto;height: 200px;*/}</style><div class='notetop'>NAPOMENA</div><div class='notemain' style= white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>{content}</div> And fortunately, it worked! Thanks a lot for you help, now I have a better understanding of css and how it is used. This will help me with building websites, I am sure!
  13. There are some more professional programs that you can find on the internet, or buy them, since they are not free. I haven't tried it myself, but after some googling I'm sure you'll find. But, be aware that for that kind of program you ought to BUY it, because freeware programs are either insecure or not good enough.

    Custom BBCode Help

    This is so unbelievable! See for yourself, the attatched picture. There is one from the upload folder, one on the server, and one from cpanel. Anyway, just to make sure i understood what I need to do if I somehow find that file. I should create something like this and adjust it to my needs: .notetop,.sqltop,.htmltop{width:98%;color: #000;margin: 0px auto 0px auto;font-weight:bold;padding: 3px;background-color:#FDDBCC;background-image: url(1/css_img_code.gif);background-position: right;background-repeat: no-repeat;}.notemain,.sqlmain,.htmlmain{font-family: Courier, Courier New, Verdana, Arial;color: #465584;background-color: #FAFCFE;border: 1px dotted #000;padding: 2px;width:98%;margin: 0px auto 0px auto;/*overflow: auto;height: 200px;*/} And then in the BBCode replacement put notetop and notemain, right? I can change the size, the background image ('ph'), the background colour, font, etc. A few more questions. color: #000; border: 1px dotted #000; Why are there only three characters here and not six? /*overflow: auto;height: 200px;*/ If I am not mistaken this is a comment, and not a part of the code. So, what does the comment want to say? Thanks a lot for this, you really cleared out some things to me.

    I'm not that stupid I just don't get it, but when I search all the things in the upload folder (TC search *.css) I get three files for lofiversion and one in skin_acp. If I could find it I believe that I could do something, it looks quite understandable.

    The things with div work really good, it's showing the same as code, but I don't seem to have css_2.css. Furthermore, I can't find (when I search through files) that is the same as you wrote it here. I don't know what could be the problem, but if I solved that, I believe that I could handle some css, it looks easy
  17. I though we could use a topic like this, where you could ask for help considering making custom BBCodes. I'll start first I was really inspired by the notice bbcode here on Xisto. I wanted to put something like that on my IPB 2.0 forum, and of course, it was a total failure First I made a simple html code that creates a table with two rows, where in the first row it would say notice and in the second {content}. It worked properly in the testing part in ACP, but when I tried to use it in a topic, the table was... well, you'll see it on an examle in the end. I still have the same problem, but I started messing around with something more complicated. Since I have no way of limiting the use of the tag to admins and mods (maybe you know of a way) I need a piece of code which would put the username of the person who is editing the post. Similar to the edited by legend, except I want only the username, and inside the table. The current code I am using looks like this. <table width="350" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#99000"> <tr valign="middle"> <td height="30" bgcolor="#99000"> <div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Napomena</font></b></font></div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td bgcolor="#990000"> <table width="350" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="top"> <td width="350" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">{content}</font></p></td> </tr> <tr valign="middle"> <td bgcolor="#99000"> <div align="right"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>[NAME]</b></font></div></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr></table> 'Napomena' means notice As you can see, it is quite simple, but it still isn't working! Where it says name, IPB should put the username - I need your help with that. And, of course, I would be really happy if you could tell me why it isn't working in the topic view. You can see how it looks over here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  18. I'm not sure if I understood you well, enough, but here is something useful. If you want to put up a web site that would be available from everywhere in the world, and you want to do it for free, there are a few things you can do. As vujsa already said, use Linux. It's much more secure and a big percent of web servers uses it. The thing that I found interesting is this. I don't know if you have a static IP address, because i'm not into t1, but even if you don't you can setup a website that would be available every time when you are online. Anyway, check this out. You can setup a free domain name (something.co.nr) and if your IP address changes, you can run a script everytime it does. A bit complicated to explain.
  19. People mention all the time that violent video games have a bad influence on people, especially kids, whose brain is like hot wax (from a great book lol). It is true that violent video games such as Manhunt can do something to your brain and make you destructive, but there has to be something that will be triggered. I myself play a lot of games with blood and violence, but I can easily call myself a non-violent person.Actually, I think that the games are not guilty for strange behaviour, they are only something that made the behaviou appear. The thing that really affects our behaviour is our surrounding. It is all about the influence that other have on us. For example, some big criminals became like that only because thir fathers beaten them. The same is with violence caused by video games (as they say). The games didn't create violent habits, they were created by something else, earlier, the games were just a trigger!
  20. Yeah, I also wanted to find something like that for Xisto, but with only a little searching I found this:

    Best Forum System

    Out of those I've tried (IPB, SMF, phpBB, vBulletin) IPB is the best! Even though it is not free, it has so many options which can really be useful. Furthermore, there are hundreds of mods for all sorts of things.On the other hand vBulletin is also really good, but I don't like its defaul skin, so that's a minus, whereas I am really keen on the IPB default skin.phpBB is too easy to hack into (I have not tried it myself, though), and SMF is good, free, secure, but lacks some good options that IPB has.
  22. After 2 minutes of Googling, I found this. I am not sure if all of them have all you need, but I think they do. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://nexuswebs.net/ http://www.propercomfy.co.uk/
  23. As far as I know, IPB has a useful option concerning this. You can allow a user to delete his or her own post, but only for a limited amount of time. For example, if you put 15 minutes, user will be able te delete a double post, or a one that he doesn't like. and he wouldn't effect the flow of the thread. Think about it, I'm sure it would be easy for you to configure it to work with the credits script.

    Dot.tk

    freedomain.co.nr is quite good, I use it, bu it is not ad-free. They don't put forced ads on your web site, but you are required (according to the Terms Of Use) to put a small banner that would link to their web site. So, anyone who doesn't have this, better put it Another one is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, but they are not as good as they used to be. They change the favicon of your web site, and also put pop-up ads, which is above all acounts.
  25. Are you sure this is possible? Even if you try, everytime you get two same characters in at least one 2x2 area. Where did you find this?
