Silence of the Terminals - first Terminal hacking!

Well today I've added a simple Terminal Hacking System to the current mission, also teams and a capturing system has been made.

Yes questions do start off pretty hard!

So far there is only one question at the moment, a list of them needs to be made.

Ok so how is it done?
Client runs in to the trigger (area around the terminal) the server knows this and sends them a question and tells them to stick up a dialog box, the client answers and the server tests if there correct if there correct this get the Disc item which they can capture back at there base.

The player then gets 50points for the team (wow!) but so far team score just doesn't count, so...
I add it to that player also so they can look high and mighty! :-)

It's a little awkward really... Could be better, The Client and Server streams of Data are different so I can't Stay with just one channel at one put it comes back out of the blue somewhat, without any connection to the fact that this client was sent a question (maybe a risk in terms of security).

I also added an Assault Rifle, but I hate the model so much its not in the map so far... we'll see.

Joe's additions to the sniper rifle have been added.

I made the Pistol a bit less over the place with relation to Spread, so it'll be more useable.

I'll post the updated files later tonight.

Michael did you try it on Linux?

My only worry is that there maybe a few case sensitive problems.

Ed, this sounds sick! Can you get any graphical control over the pop up dialogue box? You might have to forward your responses to these comment to Mike and my emails as our RSS readers don't pick up anything but your original articles, so we won't know if you have commented in after us.
