Green should disallow GINA

It's like the unclassicest thing ever, with the buff timers and voice announcing spawns.

Like... not sure how. Maybe scanning running processes every minute and seeing if it looks like GINA? Maybe dsetup.dll could add such a watchdog.

Some clever guys could patch their gina exe so it doesn't hash the same but I'm sure the smart folks behind dsetup could find a workaround.

Just my 2 cents

I ran log analyzers back in the day. Somewhat less functional in general but same general concepts iirc. Not significantly different than setting a clock for spawns, though yeah it's more than a bit unclassic when it comes to buff timers.

Screw it, remove logs. Everybody run OBS if you think someone's gonna do some illegal shiz near you.

That'd be great.

Remove gina, ban resolutions above 640x480. Limit bandwidth to 24.4 kbps. No more than 2 mouse buttons allowed. Only 8 hotkeys allowed. Welcome to flavor country.

Yo, I had 128k ISDN back in 1997, it was awesome for Quake and Quake 2 years before EQ came out. I don't want to hear about the plebes who had to suffer with 28k.

I'm not saying log parsers or voice communication should be disabled. I'm saying GINA should be disabled.

Reading basic english is hard.

Reading basic dates is hard.
did we make any progress with childish comments? nope.

Doesn't change the fact that people were running log parsers as early as the log file was a thing. Nerds were crafty even back in the day. I have to imagine the early log parsers were build from database parsers.

So it's reworked and upgraded. By your logic we should be running 56k internet on single core PCs. it just wont happen. Also if P99 had a way to detect Gina it would open a huge security concern in the community.
