Defense Contractor Needed

The Bhodi Tree Gallery would like to hire a "Defense Contractor" to build a script. Contact me if you are interested - will pay well for a script that successfully meets our goals!

What do you need Bhodi? I'm great at defense, though I've been a little busy lately.

I wonder why people insist of posting this sort of thing in the forums instead of asking their nearest friend.
I got lotsa defense scripts bhodester, all free of charge and without silly copy/mod restrictions.

In interest to stimulate the economy? Also a closed system is inherently more secure than an open, due to people not being able to examine the code to find flaws.

The counter to that is that with an open system, anyone can find and suggest a fix for a problem. With a closed system, there are far fewer people looking for flaws, most of whom are hostile.

What on earth does forums vs in-game have to do with open vs closed?

In reference to that, Eggy.



I suppose the real world OS situation could be a good case example for your arguement.

Alondria, a defense "system", much like all griefing tools, is a single line of code
Want an orbiter? llPushObject
Want an anti-orbiter? llMoveToTarget
FWIW she IMed me and said that she wanted a way to ban specific ppl from her land.
I just pointed her to the land tools. Let's hope that works

Someone orbited all the barrels in my DK game in the sandbox throughout the night. With one barrel rezing every 1.7 seconds, it took about 10 minutes for my inventory to download this morning, and a lot longer to delete all the stuff in Lost and Found (about 10000 objects, Id estimate).

I really think there should be a way to make PushObject opt-out (eg you make it so you can only pushobject your own objects, and everything else has to happen via real physical interaction)

Eggy,

First, WHY would you post here telling people what in particular I was looking to do? And I know how to use the land tools - if you had spoken to me, you would have understood what I was looking to do. You've misunderstood my intent completely.

Also, as to why I would advertise on the boards rather than just hiring someone I know, there are a number of reasons. First, yes, I want a closed system that can't be easily hacked or worked around. Second, I want to hire someone who is active in Jessie because I think the BTG owes Jessie that much! And third, I like to hear what new ideas people have rather than always tapping the same well.

It means using llPushObject on the avatar with a force in the billions (or impulse perhaps), in the vertical direction, so they get propelled into space.

There's another type of orbiter which traps you in a cage, and does the same thing (only it takes longer).

You can protect yourself against these by doing llMoveToTarget(llGetPos()) The downside is you can't actually move at all There is a script, in the Official Scripting Library, which locks you when you stand still and unlocks you when you press a movement control.

PushObject is very popular with griefers because it doesn't require consent.

I think using the term Orbiter is kind of a misnomer, since it doesn't make you orbit, it just shoots you.

If you want to have "The Pushobject Experience" go to the down right corner of Mocha and climb into my Big Cannon and click it. You should be in Slate shortly.




A real orbiter would be a program that causes people to fly around in circles, something I've actually been hoping to make.

The last time I tried it, I landed about half a sim short.

I suppose a simple system could be a single line, hwever many have wrote much more sophisticated systems, for example I know Charlie Omega created a flipping huge security script, that had to span something crazy like 9 scripts due to heap. My own is definately much more than a single line.... As a metaphor, sure you can make a vehicle with a single prime and adjust the placement mannually, however some prefer a more complex, elegant solution.

"Small is beautiful" has always been my motto and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands to get me to part with it.
I dont really understand what on earth charlie was trying to defend himself from
That's more code than darklife for pete's sake.

Yeah it isn't very accurate, since it doesn't take the mass of the 'shot' into account, it's only aligned properly to shoot me.

I'm really small and have a lot of attachments.
