What do you think Mr. Karski would think of article 55a? My guess is the parliament is lucky he's dead or he would probably have turned up and personally ripped the lungs out of the person who proposed it.

The bill, which passed the lower house of Poland's parliament on Friday, has yet to be approved by the Senate, the upper house, and signed into law by the president.

Article 55a, clause 1, of the draft law states that “whoever accuses, publicly and against the facts, the Polish nation, or the Polish state, of being responsible or complicit in the Nazi crimes committed by the Third German Reich … or other crimes against peace and humanity, or war crimes, or otherwise grossly diminishes the actual perpetrators thereof, shall be subject to a fine or a penalty of imprisonment of up to three years.”

Clause 2 of the law says that those who “act unintentionally” would also be liable to punishment.

Clause 3 reads that “the perpetrator of the offence referred to in clauses 1 and 2 is not committing a crime if he or she commits such an act as part of artistic or scientific activities.”

In science news the University of Pooland has just annouced a new scientific study whereby nationalist MPs will have swastikas tattooed on their forheads in order to study the rate the ink fades.

...and finally tonight we have a sneak preview of the latest artwork to be displayed at the National Gallery of Pooland as part of the Stan Odmowy collection. Mr. Odmowy was quick to point out that he "absolutely acted intentionally".

^^You are aware this massacre took place when Poland was under German Nazi occupation?

This particular massacre was primarily perpetrated by Poles, who burned 340 Jews alive by setting fire to a barn.  The new Polish law will make it illegal to discuss.  Academics are still allowed to research and write about it, but ordinary teachers would be arrested for telling kids about it.

So they're burning the books as well then? How appropriate.

^^Your warbandit I think

Firstly. It's 'you're'. Secondly, I know you are trying to insult me, but it's not going to work. Warbandit is a fine, upstanding example of an all round player. Not only that, but he is 6'5 and 130lbs of pure muscle and could take out pretty much anyone on warcraft 2 in a real fight.

Ah, well spotted tora, now it all makes sense... sup dan lol

Yes we are super cool ....... it is not all about winning to me, but being a noble person

Ok this is one of the lamer troll threads. Come on, I just watched and episode of supergirl that was less cheesy than this. It's like a triple-cheese cheese supreme with extra cheese, a cheesy crust and a side of cheese balls. Surely nobody actually talks like that....

How is this a troll thread? She said not all 00 are bad and i let her know it was true. You're just trying to pick I fight but i'm not going to stoop to your level. 00 means everything to me and i will represent them with respect and dignity

lol because you are talking about respect and dignity in wc2... have to be pulling the piss - respect for a fair troll tho wp

PUD File Format Stuff


Quote from: easycompany on 2017-02-26, 03:50:18

    hex(h)
    80 (00) value =01 bnet 00= custom map<--- very important this is


Ok. Not really sure, but I'm assuming the "80" at the start of this line is a file offset, i.e. the position in the PUD file where this value should be set ya??

Not sure, but i should give a quick description of how PUD files are formatted - perhaps you already know this IDK.

PUD FILE FORMAT

The PUD file format is like a simplified RIFF format (which, incidentally is what an AVI file is). It consists of sections. each section is formatted like this:

Code: [Select]

DWORD        4CC
DWORD        Size
(Size bytes)  Data


A '4CC' is a "four character code". It's just used like a name for the section, but it always contains exactly 4 characters ('DIVX' is a 4CC). 4CCs are kind of cool because they are easily readable by a human, and usually kind of describe what they denote, but also because they are exactly 4 bytes, and 4 bytes is a DWORD (32bit value) they can be handled by the processor as a single number and don't need to be processed as a string.... anyway, its a name that has 4 characters (letters).

i.e. the section that contains the starting gold for each player is called 'SGLD', and the section that contains the list of all the units on the map is called 'UNIT', while the section that contains the unit data (specs for each unit type... HP damage etc.) is called 'UDTA'

Most of the sections appear in all PUDs, some don't. i.e. the restriction section that allows a player to train certian units/upgrades but not others is called 'ALOW'. A 'normal' PUD that does not have any restrictions (you can have all the unit types) does not have an 'ALOW' section at all, however if this section is present WC2 will look at it and only allow the specified units/upgrades as per this section.

If you run my GrimEdit editor, and select Edit->Clipboard from the menu, you will see a list of common PUD sections. You can select the 4CC for each and it will display a (very) short description of what it is. You can then go to Modules->Player Properties, select a player, click one of the the "Units Allowed" etc. buttons and deselect a few things then click [Ok]. If you then go back to the "clipboard" you will see that an 'ALOW' section has been created and added to the PUD.

Many of the common sections that can appear towards the start of a PUD have a fixed length (i.e. 'SGLD' is always 32 bytes) which can make it appear that certain values occur at certain file offsets, because the sections are commonly written in the same order, however this is an illusion as the sections can be written in a different order or entirely new sections inserted into a PUD. ( this is how it is possible to create a file that is both a playable .PUD file and an executable .EXE file).

Also there are certianly sections whose length will vary from PUD to PUD... i.e. the size of 'UNIT' will depend on how many units are placed on the map.

It is by changing the sections that a PUD file is edited. If you look at the map description module in the ASM source you will see it loads/saves the 'DESC' section, while the Starting Resources module edits 'SGLD', 'SLBR' and 'SOIL'. There are (or used to be) descriptions of the common PUD sections floating around on the web.




                                      == == == == == == == ==



Oh Hey, here ya go, found the section definitions. I downloaded this from somewhere in like 2002 or something   

PUD Format (Download)


So your offset 0x80 is the very start of the data for the 'UDTA' section.
You can see it here - random cusom PUD is Mini BGH (SS of my trusty Hex Editor - I wrote that golden oldie in '97 - been using it ever since  ).



So the red box shows the section 4CC 'UDTA' the blue box contains the dword length of the data for that section - in this case 0x1640 bytes (5696 in ape numbers), and following that inthe green box is the value you are setting, which is actually a 2-byte 'WORD' value, but as it is either 0 or 1, the high byte (which comes second) is always 0, so only the first byte is modified.

As you can see from the included file:

------------------------------------------------------------
6: Section 'UDTA', Unit Data

        word            use default data (0 no, 1 yes)
        110 words       overlap frames
        508 words       obselete data (ignore it) was .....
-------------------------------------------------------------

... it's that first WORD value "use default data"

and just to illustrate the issue with using file offsets for this type of file, here's the same information from an earlier description of PUD internals, which is entitled "PUD Maximum File Format"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:006A-00:006B   W Era number
        0=Forest,1=Icelands,2=Wastelands,3=Swamps
        *4-255=forest
00:006C-00:006F   $ Header description "ERAX"
00:0070-00:0073   L Expansion era data length ( 2 B)
00:0074-00:0075   W Expansion Era number
        0=Forest,1=Icelands,2=Wastelands,3=Swamps
        *4-255=forest
00:0076-00:0079   $ Header description "DIM "
00:007A-00:007D   L Dimensions data length ( 4 B)
00:007E-00:0081   W Map X and Y dimensions (0 ?? .. 128max)
        *Map is always loaded only by Y size
        *i.e. Y*Y map size
00:0082-00:0085   $ Header description "UDTA"
00:0086-00:0089   L Unit data length ( 5950 B )
00:008A-00:008B   W Set if Should be used default data
        0=no,1=yes
00:008C-00:0167   W Overlap frames for each unit (0..109)
        * group to belong number
        * see "UNIT" section for units order
00:0168-00:0265   W Obsolete General grafix frames
-------------------------------------------------------------------

However as you can see here the value is denoted as being at offset 0x8A because the PUD file being described also contains the optional 'ERAX' section.

The only thing that can be guaranteed is that it is the first WORD in the data for the 'UDTA' section.

The data lengths in each section header construct the file i.e. as the 'UDTA' section in the Mini BGH PUD here is 0x1640 bytes long and starts at 0x80 then the next section header will be at 0x1640 + 0x0080 = 0x16C0, and indeed if you go to offset 0x16C0 in this PUD you will find 'UGRD' the "Upgrades" section 4CC followed by the DWORD 0x0000030E because the data for this section is 0x30E bytes long...

DOUBLE DODGE.

How about when the subject is the mass-murder of Polish people by nazis and your response is TO BLAME THE JEWS FOR PROPOGANDA. Are you even hearing yourself right now?

That means your nat is not properly configured, so server has to send icmp redirect packets, that helps to fix your routing.
Server.war2.ru doesn't send icmp redirect, i don't plan to allow that packets, so make sure your routes on NAT are proper.
If problem happened after entering login/pass, it could be related with UDP traffic.

FIXED THE PROBLEM. NEED TO SET MCU OF VPN CONNECTION TO 1500!

Nice now I can spawn free vpns with open ports that will work on ru. I will test this later!

I expect MCUs to be set to 1500 by default on any connection, but I don't use a vpn, so ok.

-- EDIT

Just out of interest, what was it set to before you changed it?

IKR? Then he talks all this shit but is 100% smurf. Nobody will ever call out his constant cheating because he is too cowardly to even use one of his known smurf names, let alone his own. Sad scared small.

The name next to this post is the name I use in game. Occasionally I smurf if I don't want to talk, but 95% of my games are on this name. Wonder why the Polish hive-mind "hate threads no longer surprise us" can't use actual names in game?

O H    M Y    G O D

See this is how naive I am from living in a multicultural society.

I was actually just talking about the huge numbers of Polish jews who got killed by the nazis, because I just think of them as Polish people who got murdered.

It honestly never even crossed my mind that due to your hideous racism you might actually support the mass-murder of your own countrymen.

In Australia, there's still pleanty of racist talk amoungst some people - I don't like it, but it's there. However when it comes to a fight, let alone a war, an Aussie is an Aussie mate and we protect or own, whatever they look like.

The entire concept that you actually consider children who were born and raised in the same neighbourhoods as you to be anything other than your own coutrymen - let alone that they deserve to be put to death is just insane. In hindsight, it makes sense knowing you, but I could never even think of that by myself.

...ahhh so this is what all the stuff about black people is about, because it's too politically incorrect and you're too cowardly to do what you really want to do: villify the jews. Finally it all makes sense.

So tell me .... do you consider a Jew who was born and raised in your coultry to be Polish? Yes or No.
