That's not a bad idea.

It's not an original idea, either :-P

They only problem with that is then ill have to hear that anoying beep beep every time I send a new black message.

hierholzer · August 10, 2005, 11:37 AM

Couldent I just take out the timer so it dosent time any of the messages and then just make a blank message on all 11 offsets?

we have been over this already it would only effect the messages you see and nobody else. also i am not sure and maybe sombody can confirm this for me but if you use the starcraft text input function it doen't make the beep noise I don't have starcraft installed right now so I can test myself.

If you're the host, you could just silently discard all chat packets from the players.

He can do this without being the host, too. Of course, discarding text from other players has no effect on their ability to communicate among themselves, it only emulates a mass-squelch.

Hm, maybe I'm dumb and was thinking of Diablo.

No, Diablo is the same way. Being the host gives you no special properties beyond being the one contacted when someone wants to join.

Then how come many Diablo hacks required you to be the game host in order for them to work?

I've never heard of such a hack. Name one and its purpose?

Warrior · August 12, 2005, 09:39 PM

Of course what would an application be withought making a user have to do "special things" to get even a hint of functionality?

Good

If you are reffering to Diablo 1 or open Diablo 2 then it is because you act as a remote server in open battle.net play. In most Blizzard games the host transfers control of the game back to battle.net once you start the game, but I believe in open diablo play you remain the host during the extent of the game. If that is the case then that is why you would have to be the host for certain hacks to work.
