changes:
imageadd: "Telecomms machines now have open-panel sprites."
imageadd: "Added a new particle accelerator sprite."
Additional changes:
NTNet relay now has its own sprite.
NTNet relay now indicates its status on its sprite.
Fixes the Select-Equipment admin verb's ERT loadouts not being listed.
- Implements DoS traffic generator that is available via software downloads on emagged computers (computer emagging will be added separately)
- This generator sends DoS traffic to the NTNet relay. Amount of generated traffic is linked to connectivity (Wired: 5GQ/s, High Signal: 1GQ/s, Low Signal: 0.25GQ/s)
- NTNet relays dissipate this DoS traffic on their own (at 1GQ/s rate).
- Multiple devices running this program against one relay will have cumulative effect. For example, one wirelessly connected device would not be able to overload the relay, since it dissipates same amount of traffic as wireless device generates. On the other hand, two wirelessly connected devices would eventually result in overload and failure of relay.
- (D)DoS attacks may be stopped by manually shutting down the relay and reactivating it again
- DoS program will trigger an IDS(Intrusion Detection System) alert on execution, which will immediately show on the monitoring console. However, if IDS is disabled, only way to detect this is via the relay's UI (it will show increase in buffered traffic)
- Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/q0gbWJm.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/NVobCWa.png (Visual note: 1s and 0s in the UI change over time, amount of 1s is equivalent to approximate percentage completion of DoS attack)
- NTNet Quantum Relays now have simple UI that allows users to manually toggle them on/off.
- Implements simplified Denial of Service handling for relays. This will be used by next commit that will add antagonist software.
- Relays can buffer and dissipate certain amount of DoS traffic. If this traffic exceeds certain level (configurable via varedit) the relay crashes temporarily.
- Relays may be manually reset by using specific button in the UI
- Relays are now buildable. They are relatively cheap (circuit board and some cables), but the board requires Data Theory 4 research.
- As usual, fixes various issues through the code, but likely creates more as this is still WIP project.
- Most importantly, NTNet software downloader program now exists and more or less works.
- Your device's connectivity has effect on how quickly you can download. Right now, things with wired connection (consoles) download at 0,5GQ/s, mobile devices on station where signal is good at 0,1GQ/s and mobile devices off station where signal is bad are limited to 0,025GQ/s. This is all controlled by three defines.
- Small adjustments to NTNet behaviour.
- Adds "undeletable" and "unmovable" flags for computer files. Intended to use for ROM-style programs that are necessary for PC to work.
- Programs now know NTNet status and can act differently depending on this.
- Overall improvements of code, fixes, etc.
- Adds NTNet and NTNet relays. They currently miss deconstruction/construction but that's planned for later.
- Adds few more programs (still preinstalled in the laptop, for debugging)
- Successfully gets rid of copypaste formerly needed in templates. Now the header is in default template itself. This seems to be least problematic solution without making change to nanoui's code itself.
