Will this be open source, perchance? Not much reason not to do so...

I don't want several parallel Versions to pop up, also there is the coding of the passwords.

I'll think about it but I won't release the source before it's finished anyway.

(And it's far from finished...)

Looking forward to it.

Security for the password coding should not be a problem as long as all the players passwords are stored locally with an .ini file or something. That way even if the source code allows a person to crack that, they still would only have access to their own passwords.

Yes, Admiral wrote it. I'm not sure how much help we can give you on that though. RTC is a java app that is heavily tied to the workings of PBW as a whole. The programs use a lot of the same code and the functions work together. I'm not saying it would be impossible to make a standalone application. And I think it would be great if you could. This thing you are working on seems like a great idea. But I don't know how much the exsisting RTC code will help in that area.

Yes, that is the idea, but I still think that when I release the sourcecode I'll remove the local password encoding.
Otherwise there's no need of password encoding.

Still need help with the PBW RTC though, was it Admiral who made it Geo?

I'll try to get into contact with the Admiral and see if he can tell me some useful info, otherwise I'l have to skip that part and let it use the mail functions instead.

So far I've worked most on the editor, right now it's better than the Last ver of the SE4 history editor, good.

If you want to crack passwords, you just have to write a program that loads the game with command line options... it will be a bit slow, but quite doable. I don't think this is much of an issue.

You mean brute force cracking? It would be too slow...
