Galcon 1.3.2

This release of Galcon includes several bug fixes.  A cheat whereby you could take over unpassworded accounts in mid-game has been patched.  A number of crashes in the single player game have been patched.  Also, when rounds end, a "ding" sounds so that if you are AFK you can get back before the next round begins.  Download it here:

T-Shirt Competition

The t-shirt competition and voting wrapped up a couple weeks ago.  We had some great entries!  Congrats to the winners - strk3, morgan, and commodore!  I was able to get all that put together today, and now you can get your own Galcon T-shirt here:

A couple contestants wanted me to mention their sites:

http://forums.indiegamer.com/showthread.php?t=11800 - I'm working on an update to Galcon, and need help!  If you are an illustrator / artist, or know someone who might be interested, please check this out :)  

Have fun!

P.S. Since this release actually fixes some cheating issues, I'll likely be requiring all servers to upgrade this week.

Aye - would this solve it:

/showip $user
Tells you the user's ip.  (So you can check... and if they are, /banip, etc 'em.)

Thanks!

It isnt a cheat, but possibly few friend playing from one place behind NAT. :-)

sounds like a fix to me... you wouldn't have to be admin would you?

It would be an admin only feature.  And people would have to be careful about accusations, since many times several people play from the same IP.

Not a fix then, I suspect some of the admins abusing.

It would be good to give the players a chance to explain before banning them, because for example my ISP puts **everyone** in the country who uses it, (and it's one of the two big ISPs) behind a NAT, so there's hundreds of people who look like they have the same IP address.
