Login problem

Hiya!

I just found out this site today and am very excited to test this game. Only problem is that I can't login/start the game. Login widget appears and lets me type my username and password and then nothing. I've cleared browsers and Java caches, reinstalled Java and tested this with Firefox 3.0.11, Opera 9.64 and even with IE 6.

I'm running out of ideas and any help is appreciated.

Thx,
shacs

Server is under maintenance

Welcome.

Sadly, something happened and the server is down for maintenance.

Devs are working to fix it, just be patient.

Ahh, thx for the info.

Ahh, thx for the info.

may take awhile

Unfortunately it may take up to a few days until the devs can fix it. When the server works again a new window should be created within a minute after logging in with the correct name and password.
That window will look similar to this one: http://www.hackwars.net/wiki/images/5/5a/Computer_screen.png (the image is an outdated version of the interface but still similar)

PS: werty build up a HW server tester but it looks like he deactivated it. In case he finds a way to build it in a properly here's the link to his link:

Sweet Werty

Thats really helpful, now i'll have to check that before i even come to the hackwars site.

werty, last I heard, JJD was

werty, last I heard, JJD was saying that your little program was messing up the server.

i heard a rumour of that, but

i heard a rumour of that, but havent heard jjd say it and i havent seen him around. Thats why im having it to 15 minutes refresh.
That way it is only a 1 second connection to 5 ports before being killed

I would be surprised that

I would be surprised that even the old one minute version would do a DOS.
Neither do I know how you connect nor how the server works but maybe it doesn't like your way of connecting one second to the server.

it only prompts the servers

it only prompts the servers port. But the 1 minute one i can see how, if multiple people had the page open then there could be quite alot of connections, but i was shocked when i heard the rumour as i thought the site would have a firewall good enough to notice if i was creating a DoS

This didn't create a DoS

This didn't create a DoS attack. The problem was, it tried to create a connection to the server and because it wasn't from the client, it caused errors. This however didn't cause the server to crash etc, just was annoying for me when I was trying to test things.

Thanks to werty for turning it off for the moment.
