Staredit Network

I regretted making those news posts about rumor and people's research how viruses were impossible (people misinteruppted what I was trying to say). At this point, I'm going to change the way I make news posts for now on.

Hey, I'm only human. It was a learning experience for all of us

Ok, now first of all... who are you to say that EUD triggers didn't pose a threat? Are you an expert at code injection? Not only did a more knowlegeable person say that there are methods to doing it (with EUD triggers), but regular triggers pose no immediate threat if more buffer overflows aren't found.

Let me get this straight, you're saying that if you had knowledge in programming, you'd somehow find a buffer overflow in the .wav playback code and manage to execute code? How do you know that such an exploit exists? Or was it just pure speculation that a large portion of SC trigger execution/wav playback code was insecure and contained a crapload of exploits?

Back to my point: go ahead, try to find another buffer overflow that could be exploited by SC maps to prove that EUD's weren't a significant problem in comparison. Or, prove to me that EUD's didn't pose a threat at all. Just because no virus maps popped up yet doesn't mean that it's not possible.

Blizzard's goal was to make SC as safe as possible, and leaving a hole in that they know about which could be used to execute malicious code wasn't part of the plan. If a virus map was ever made, they'd get a ton of complaints from the non-map making crowd. You can't compromise the safety of the whole user base just so that a portion could have freedom to do whatever the hell they wanted while making a map.

Patches don't corrupt replays. Replays become unviewable after certain patches. There is nothing 'corrupt' about them that prevents you from watching them in the version they were made for. Please stop using this word improperly.

Can someone punish all those people who posted 5 page of politics? Since that was just really retarded for posts and minerals. Go to sleep for 6 hours and come back to 27 pages. -_-

Nothing was reported from this thread either.

Hey, I am going to put in my calmer two cents.
EUD's are gone. I'm sad about it. If Blizzard thinks they were a potential threat, who am I to disagree, though I'd hope it wasn't true?
On the other hand, I don't feel it's right to condemn DK. I feel I had a good post earlier about radium and Marie Curie. I believe everything he seeks is not for the purpose of destroying Starcraft, but rather expanding it. If his methods have potential problems, better that Blizzard learn from us than from someone who really wanted to do something malicious. But if it turns out he finds more good things without bad side-effects, then the whole benefits. I don't think the loss of replays is as important (no offense, I suppose I'm biased) as the potential growth for the UMS map-making community. I feel the benefits of his research far outweigh the hazards. Just don't get too upset. We are all fans of a beautiful game. Some of us just hope for even more.
Forgive me for anything rude I have said.

i named you as "a good example", your lastest annoucement sum up a large part of i could have put in my post too. I'm more worried about people that still claim that blizzard did the patch just to annoy them personnaly : if you had as much knowledge of the game as Blizzard had, you would approve this decision.

Funny, I thought I reported DK. Different thread?

I thought I reported too.

I knew EUD were going to get removed :S Oh well. Personally I think Blizzard should of spent more time fixing things like Map Hacks, Winbots, and maps that crash SC but what can you do about it.

EUD maps crash MACs, so they were fixing a crash glitch.

I checked out the www.battle.net forums, and some people are going nuts. In my opinion, it would of been nice, but not necessary.


I got nothing. It must have been a different one.


Extended Players crash MACs as well.

Ohh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the the information.

Recently, I have started my own research. I call it, "The Mix Factor." First off I need some Pasta, then some Spaghetti. Then you add a pint of Salt, and a bit of cheese. Then you got yourself StarCraft Macaroni! PWNED GG NOOBS! I AM DEATHKNIGHT W00TZ0RZ!!

i kinda find that amazing lol

I clearly remember reporting at least twice in this thread...

Again another problem solved by prodject revolution. Every trigger you could ever wish for plus custom crap without moding in a Wc3 run SC. Everything would be exactly like sc except maybe carriers cuss of lag for the time being until we can get some better&cheaper hardware out. Oh yeah im back this is the first time if ever heard of these so called "god triggers" even though you can still do more in coding.

Only one problem with that, WC3 isn't starcraft.

Last time I checked I played starcraft not WC3.

took me a while to work out, but the 1.13b patch also stops deathknights TRIGGERS OF GOD triigers from working (ie; th death count stuff and terrans with shields)

... that's like the only thing they are supposed to do.

thats what the patch was all about rofl

Extended Unit Deaths Triggers are the Triggers of God.
Have you been following us for the last month, or have you simply not chosen to listen? The whole purpose of 1.13b is, as all the others have said before me, to patch them out and specifically make them not work.

well said

OMG SOMEONE ATE MY BURGER!

stay on topic (which is religion, candians, japanese, koreans, bush, iraq, nuns, and aboriyton if you dindt know )
