robhol Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Since all this bullshit and the 8 967 346 548 218 321 threads about it are essentially because Strongbit took down a service, why not make your own? Putting together a little something to extract hardware IDs isn't hard. Hashing/encrypting it isn't hard. Making it in PHP isn't particularly hard. Putting the PHP script up isn't hard. Then, the installers could be modified, and even if people would need to get new serials, it's better than having all new registrations effectively cut off, and the forums spammed with barely intelligible "HAAALP I R NEEDZ TEH SRLZZZ!!!!!!!!!1111111"#¤!"#!%T&!#¤&%¤54523 I HAZ USRNAME IZ leetdude1996" posts, flame posts, and goodbye posts by the hundreds... What do you all think? Devs as well as other community members? Link to comment
paul527 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 That sounds fabulous. There's just one problem; A lot of people don't know how to do even one of those things you mentioned. Can you link us up a few tutorials for users, and tools to simplify the process? Sounds like there's some learning to do here! Link to comment
robhol Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nonono, I meant for the devs - they need to make their own... On IRC yesterday though, I think IJs said they'd done it already and it was to be used with DP3... Until that of course, we still have to suffer through the whining. Oh, well. Link to comment
mabako Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 And herein lies the problem. DP3 isn't released, noone (appearantly) intends to create a working serial generator for DP2.1. Link to comment
haybail Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 but they could fix mtabeta and then people could play. but still not as many cause not everyone knows how. Link to comment
ijsf Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Problem has been solved. Please download DP2.2 or wait for DP3. Link to comment
