NCBeachBum Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 That you can apparently actually synchronize PC's and make a working co-op mode and that this has cmoe as far as it apparently is, shows that some guys have hacked far deeper into Morrowind than I thought was the case. That's the statement that jumps out at me. I thought that it was illegal to hack a source code, under any circumstances. Ever. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxar Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Nope. This hacking is basically the same thing as what FPS Optimizer and Combat Enhanced do, if you are familiar with those two astounding mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brashendeavors Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 "Hack" is a word with very broad general meaning. Often it just means to work with a certain type of code, or to find a workaround solution to something. It does NOT always mean, to illegally change the code of a program directly or bypass program security (although that is one meaning). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, © 1993-2004 Denis Howe hack [very common] 1. n. Originally, a quick job that produceswhat is needed, but not well. 2. n. An incredibly good, and perhapsvery time-consuming, piece of work that produces exactly what isneeded. 3. vt. To bear emotionally or physically. "I can't hackthis heat!" 4. vt. To work on something (typically a program). Inan immediate sense: "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In ageneral (time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?" "Ihack TECO." More generally, "I hack `foo'" is roughly equivalent to"`foo' is my major interest (or project)". "I hack solid-statephysics." See Hacking X for Y. 5. vt. To pull a prank on. Seesense 2 and hacker (sense 5). 6. vi. To interact with a computerin a playful and exploratory rather than goal-directed way."Whatcha up to?" "Oh, just hacking." 7. n. Short for hacker. 8.See nethack. 9. [MIT] v. To explore the basements, roof ledges,and steam tunnels of a large, institutional building, to the dismayof Physical Plant workers and (since this is usually performed ateducational institutions) the Campus Police. This activity has beenfound to be eerily similar to playing adventure games such asDungeons and Dragons and Zork. See also vadding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
