Info on VaultSTER

[JeroenB]

Hi All!

Soon I will release the brand new VaultSTER edition. New features include:

* Linux support!
* Better and improved source code
* More stablility
* New documentation

Possible future additions:
* Better security (a trust list) by using public-key encryption
* More options (dis-/enabling of compression, etc) for the user

Stay tuned!

Well good luck Blowfish is one of the most used encryption block cypher mechanisms of this time and works pretty well. Drawback of Vaultster is that the files itself is not encrypted as that will take too much time to do in realtime.

Vaultster opens easy way for cheating like:

1. login to server A
2. portal to server B
3. sell all items, give money to accomplice waiting here
4. logout from B, goto 1

maybe deletion of initial character file after successful transmission will fix this issue ?

The NWNX developement team is having a discussion about this right now. We will let you know our solution. Deletion is one of the posibilities, but has the major drawback that the player can not go to that world in case the rest of the worlds are offline.

We are currently thinking about a player tracking system via variables stored on an non-dropable item. This is a higher level solution which keeps Vaultster as general as it is now.
