NOTE: You're probably better off asking your questions in the forums if you want a quick answer, since it gets checked more often then here.
Q: Can I have a multi-player game no my LAN with only 1 registration?
Yes, you can now do this with Lux. The only catch is that you have to turn OFF the 'advertise game internet-wide' checkbox. Joiners will then have to enter the host's local IP address in the bottom of the Join game window.
Q: Are there any security vulnerabilities I should watch out for when hosting or just playing?
DustinSacks says No.
Lux is written in java, so it is impossible for there to be any type of buffer-overflow exploit. When hosting you must have port 6619 open. However since no other known services run on port 6619 this should not be a security issue.
NOTE: When you use third party AIs or MapGenerators then they are capable of executing arbitrary code on your computer. Therefore you should only install these plugins from trusted sources.
Q: what does dumping the sunk-a-junk mean?
gibraltar monkey: lol
dustin: cleaning the memory of the last game
Enter: or getting rid of your girlfriend?
Q: who am I?
You are a Luxer. Most likely Kef.
No- I am not Kef. But yes, I am a luxer.
Q: who am I?
See above.
Q: What's the rule for using the asterisk to bold an entire line? The parser seems to prefer interpreting an initial asterisk as a list item bullet.
When an asterisk is the first printable character on a line and there are fewer than 3 asterisks on the line it will be used as a bullet. Otherwise it will be bold.
Q: Is kef a semi intelligent program used on the forum to respond to every post?
Yes, Kef is the semi-intelligent forum spammer program. He will "say" he isn't, but he is actually a little file on the server.
Q: Who is the most skilled luxer?
Yo Mama!
Q: Who is the suckiest, crappiest luxer?
George W. Bush
Though the team of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford weren't too good either --ahhh, never start a land war in Asia.
Q: How do I apply my license key to Lux?
If you are on Macintosh then use the 'Lux -> Enter Code...' menu item. If you are on Windows or Linux use the 'File -> Enter Code...' menu item.
I have v3.98 - it doesn't seem have a File -> Enter Code.
The 'Enter Code' menu item goes away once you have registered Lux. If you need help removing your registration then you can email mailto:lux@sillysoft.net
Q: What is the capital of Mongolia?
The letter "M". The Man-the-CIA-scares-the-crap-outta-me link -tn
Q: What band wrote the song "i'd Love to change the World", featured in the Michael Moore movie (and trailer) F 911?
I haven't seen the movie (yet!), but when it was a big hit back in the 80's (?) the band as I recall was "Tears for Fears".
Hello, the song was a hit in the early 70's, and it was by the English Blues Band, 'Ten years After', the "Tears for Fears" song you are thinking of is "i'd love to Rule the World"
Aqua Regia: You all need to get your facts straight - the Tears For Fears song is called "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Trust me. I have the CD.
That is some serious musical knowledge---but Q: Can you name this tune? And don't cheat and look at the file name And if that's too easy---Q: Who was the bass player? Extra bonus points--- Q: In what band did he get his big break? Super-extra bonus points--- Q: What was the rhythm called that they played? -tn
Universalcat says: 1.Dee-Lite, Groove is in the Heart. 2. Bootsy Collins 3. James Brown's backup band (The JB's) Also Parliment/Funkadelic 4. I dont know!
Q: How do RAW points work? Why do they go up differently each time? How are they scored?
See this forum thread for an explanation: http://sillysoft.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57
Q: What do the medals and stars mean on peoples rankings pages? How can I get some ;)
You can get medals by finishing in the top 3 players in a week. You also get a medal for being seeded in the top 100. You get stars for playing and winning 100-500 games. Many medals are also given out at Luxtoberfest.
Q: Can you give me more information on your registration system? I am concerned about a question above that refers to the game trying to contact your web site. Is this just during activation or ever time the game is played. If it is the latter, that is wrong for many reasons and would keep me from buying the game. And I am sure I can talk my group out of switching from Risk II to your game if this is true.)
Lux contacts the website when checking/installing plugins and when hosting/joining public internet games. It needs to contact the website in order to get the list of plugins and/or games. When it is contacting the website for these reasons it will also perform a registration check. If you never download plugins and you never play public online games then Lux will never perform a remote registration check.
Q: How can I best demo a networked game (on my private lan)? I'm part of the Risk II clan (from the Q above) and would like everyone to try the game - the problem is that we'd have to buy 8 licenses just to do it?! I'm not saying give the game away for free - but remember that 'we are the little guys' also?!?! Thanks
L33tness/The: Everyone can get the demo but that is only 20 games. They play as unregistered and only 1 unregistered can play in a room at any time. As far as i know unregistered users cannot host, but im sure there will be hosts who will be glad to have you and the rest of your clan members come. I would definately recomend you guys to buy this game. It is a great bargain. I have been playing about a year (on and off due to real life). In addition to the classic risk map their are many others. You could also make your own map. I hope my post helped you. If you need any further help i would recomend making a post in the forums or PMing me, a mod or of course dustin about any problems you may have.
