Windows 7 has addressed almost all of my problems with Vista and the new Visual Studio is the best version yet so I see bright things in the future.

I recently wrapped up another prototype project based on my initial theory. You are right though, it has been a long time. Trouble is I run into these road blocks that completely break the design and I have to start back at square one. Take my initial design for example, while I was writing a demo app I realized that there was no real way for the controllers to be able to pick out certain data from the actor without breaking encapsulation. Because I wanted to extend this design into intelligent actions and even automatic dialog <- this would be huge, I had to jump back and rethink some things. To prototype my theories I have tried writing quite a few demo apps where the plain of controllers are letters and its the network's job to parse and write back words and phrases. The idea is if I can make the program talk I can make it walk, sort of speak. Anyway my latest prototype will parse words and build the network, but I ran into yet another road block when it came time to judge actions it can take. The network builds, but when the program is confronted with a choice between executing one tree of controllers or a separate similar tree, it cannot decide on its own which one is better. Its been a very interesting 2.5 years, but I am afraid I have nothing physical to present yet. I have an idea for a judge system but I have yet to write it into the project. Thanks for commenting Hi mark.

But in this case it was preferred to not have the client download any patch and I never got a complaint about bullets hitting/missing. Supposedly the server is written so if you hit them it squirts blood so users still knew if they hit their target or not, regardless of where the dust cloud was in their game.

I only used IMs for work at the moment. How are you creating these sigs? Are you picking them out of the binary or are you pulling them off some site? This scenario sounds a lot like the game just updated ( or punkbuster is blocking your scans ). Do you have a section of the binary that you pull these sigs from? If so post 2 copies, one where you know where the player pointer is and the current one and I can help find your sig. No I do not really have any contact info other then email or this site.
