Interested in feedback on this

How much do you think it would cost to outsource the NUON Authentication stuff?

I am about ready to just pay for this - how much do you guys think it would cost to get someone to get the Authentication tools working? I am almost 100 percent sure I can recreate whatever development environment that was used on the current stuff on the Dragonshadow site via a virtual...

It looks like we do not have the right code and this is not an environment problem. I am unsticking this as it is not the most major about getting new games out at this point.

That is fantastic except the guy did not post any details or anything else about it. Just a screenshot. At this point, unless there is confirmed confirmation somebody else can replicate what this guy has done it is just HOPE that we do have the right code and it is just an environment problem.

It works. I confirmed by burning the provided ISO to a DVD+R and the game loads and plays in my Toshiba 2300.

At this point it looks like we have confirmation that the Authentication Tools work and we have passed a major hurdle. The guy who did it is signed up on the forum and hopefully he will post more information later. This is so Awesome!

Alrighty folks, I'm still working on putting together a VM with all of this configured, but thought I would release this to the folks with an old RedHat environment already setup. I've uploaded the .gnupg files and the bless files to archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/tempest_202205

How did you figure out the passphrase? The only info I ever saw in the released tools was Past Is Prologue 6x7yc93

It is kind of funny and ironic that NUON never released the rights like Atari did when they were with Hasbro. I tried to track down who owns the NUON IP and it looks like it is in some Super Corporation that has probably totally forgot about it.

So, a little more than a year after I posted to Yak's forum, I made a follow up to my post, letting them know the issue has been resolved.

I am unsticking this and starting something else.... I don't think this is totally resolved yet because we do not have something we can distribute easily but I think it will be all wrapped up soon. Moving on to the Emulator and SD Card type solution stuff.

So where are we at with this? Can we get a link with instructions on how to do it?

you don't need an old redhat setup, I compiled his upload (https://archive.org/details/tempest_202205) on my current mint linux... it's missing the vmlabs/include folder, which is in the authentication.zip from dragon shadowindustry site... attached.

It compiles and runs fine, but I haven't tested it.

I haven't had a good look at the blessing code, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to port over to windows.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
