Now, I'd like to re-recommend something here. It's obvious that Blizzard is reading this board, no? Someone posted, out in the blue, that we should use PMAC, and not a week later Blizzard wtfpwned PMAC. I recommend we either make this board require 100+ posts, or make another board that requires that. Sure, Blizzard could go under-cover as a "civilian", but the chances would be much less.

Wouldn't work - there are Blizzard spies on this forum with 700+ posts.

You just made yourself oddly suspicious, having (apparent) inside knowledge of Blizzard and just over 700 posts.

You guys could have it completely wrong. A blizzard worker could have told you to use pmac hashes so you would waste the time making all the bots work and this "blizzard" person already having the code to patch pmac waiting to see all the conversations and after everyone fixed their bots boom patched it as well getting a laugh out of it.  Blizzard does watch places and of course does monitor channels and forums As well as invisibly watches channels and users themselves.

Good Eg. of this is in OTS on USEast.

Anyone gonna answer my question?  VS6 won't work on Vista or I'd figure it out myself.

Does XMAC still use the old checkrevision libraries?
OH GOD BIG BLUE IS GONNA READ THIS POST AND UBAR PATCH IT TO GET RID OF TEH EVIL BOT SCOURGE... give me a fucking break.

You are an idiot.

Have not tested it, but I would asume it was second to be patched.

[Ersan]

I would too but assumptions don't really help me.

No.

VB6 apps and the IDE are supported on Vista.  VS 2002 and 2003 are not.

[Ersan]

Well the IDE won't work on Vista...  Have you actually tried it or are you just going by what you've read?  I read that the VB6 IDE isn't supported in Vista at all (and I've tried it).

EDIT: I found a quote from some microsoft representative that says the vb6.0 IDE is supported until 2008, but I can't get it to install...  Microsoft doesn't offer any solutions for vs6.0 either, I'll try later.

EDIT AGAIN: I think a got it working, there's a bunch of libraries that can't be registered though.

They might be trying to give you a subtle hint - upgrade?

Microsoft is officially supporting VB6 on Vista.  That means you're broken.

[Ersan]

...

Yeah so there's an updated VB6.0 installer on MSDN that works correctly on Vista.

Thanks for all your useful assumption-based comments dumbass.  Next time don't take the thread further off topic with your trolling.

Anyone feel like getting back on topic?

Then why did Blizzard update PMACverX.mpq to ver-PMAC-X.mpq before hand, when no/few robots were useing it?
Looks to me like a tipical anti hack move, that happened to effect BNCS bots, like most anti hack move's would.
I think you guys are just getting paranoid
Just like when Warden was patched into Diablo 2 game servers/clients, it effected all D2GS Bots, but was inplace to catch hacks/macros etc.
