HradBa is the anti-cheat system used for the Vietcong game. It's no longer being developed and the master servers are no longer active so the latest version of this system is becoming harder to get. To get the latest version you have to either join a server with it installed and enabled or download it from this site.

Full HradBa detail are in the - Info, Links and Downloads - section.

Included is:
-HradBa, what is it?
-HradBa readme file, kick codes and false-positives list
-HradBa v206 download
-Behind the Scenes in the Making of HradBa
-Links to Auscong, United Admins Limited, official game site and Pterodon

Initial tests last night went well.

The fires in southern Australia (Feb-09) are the worst on Australian record.
For full news coverage see here http://abc.net.au/news/events/bushfires


===

Peter is from Flowerdale and miraculously his house survived even though he and his local fire crew were miles away fighting the fire somewhere else.

When he arrived home after four days on the truck, he turned to poetry to try and get his feelings out.



Have a listen to Peter's story and poem.

I've changed my current #1 gaming interest from Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars to Left 4 Dead.

I still think ETQW is the one of best multiplayer games ever made but unfortionately for me, many others don't agree. For now my #1 gaming interest is L4D. I'm progressing quite well through the achievements. Some of the ones left are going to be very tuff to get. Details - here.

I'll have a L4D server up and running by the end of the week I'd say. More details soon.

[L4D] Zombies everywhere! 
Thursday, 5 February, 2009, 08:34 - Left 4 Dead
Posted by ned
Well I've started getting into Left 4 Dead! It's a game by VALVE.

Left 4 Dead is a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters. Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies.



This game is a heap of fun ;] Online and LAN are great! There is a singleplayer mode which is ok but coop & mp is where it really excels in my opinion. To add to the game there's a bundle of achievements you can go for. Here's a list of them all and the percentage of world players that have them - link. As you can see, some of these would be quite hard to get (legitimately). I've been slowly working at mine. I've been keeping track of them chronologically - here.

I've already had a play around with the dedicated server pack and it ran well. I've only tested it via LAN so far. When my server eventually gets a dedicated connection again I'll run some test nights where while testing the server I'll organise some achievement goals as well.



Stay tuned ;p

ned's Steaming! 
Saturday, 24 January, 2009, 05:55 - >Games (PC)
Posted by ned
I tried Steam a few years ago and had many issues with it. I swore I'd never touch it again. It was a buggy, laggy, slow downloading POS in my opinion.

BUT... now I'm back using it after buying Left 4 Dead and I have to say that I can't fault it! Resonable downloads, good layout, user friendly, huge variety, great info per game, xfire-like features..

I've also run quick tests with a couple of dedicated server setups (Left 4 Dead & GTR Evolution Demo) and everything went well with no complaint.
