Ok, so in case it helps anyone here is my connections map of the MatrixNet as of version 0.1.33. The number at the beginning of each line is the number of levels down from the initial login point. Then the name of the Net. Then the IP address equivalent followed by the Faction that it belongs to. The $ at the end of the line means this level has paydata. The EOL (end of line) at the end means there are no more connections off this one. And finally, the ^ means the Net exists at (loops back to?) a higher level. I tried to do the levels as Tab spaces to make it clearer but the forum doesn't seem to recognize Tabs. So basically if you think of the level number as the number of Tabs over it may be a little easier to visualize. So far every Data Terminal I have tried starts with the same initial connection. Hope this helps.

Use dashes?

[captain nemo]

Damn I'm sooo far behind !!!

[jeffjway]

Is there a FAQ on hacking? I don't seem to fully get it yet

[monkeyrogue]

Still in beta, so things are going to change quickly and drastically. I don't see why we shouldn't start one though.

[blackwolfe]

What Ive been trying to figure out is where I start hacking? Is it somewhere in west end?

[monkeyrogue]

Ah! You use a terminal. First gotta buy a datajack cybernetic implant, and you need to be sure to put some points into hacking. Viola,it will appear as an option on terminals.

@dil

I have no idea what most of that means, but i'll assume it's something great.
Good job.

[blackwolfe]

The hacking still doesnt make sense to me. Oh well, I'll figure it out

[captain nemo]

OK that's it then. I've got my hacking skills up but haven't tried any implants yet. Thanks for the info.

Ok, here is a flowchart style diagram for the MatrixNet Ver 0.1.33. Should make the connections easier to understand. The octagons are End of Line (no more connections). All green nodes have Paydata available corresponding to the faction of that node. I'll be posting a quick guide to hacking later tonight probably.

I'd really love to include this in the game, as an "in character" file created by some highly enterprising (and infamous) hacker.

Does the character responsible for hacking every host on the Global Matrix have a name?

(And can Trese Brothers use your file?)

[dilz669]

How about "Digital Blasphemer" for the character name? And by all means, use to your hearts content. Just glad I can contribute to what promises to be a fantastic game. I've always loved Shadowrun, D&D, CyberPunk and the like and have wished for a long time that someone would make a simple game that brings the heart of pen and paper RPG mechanics to life particularly in the Shadowun style. What I think a lot of game developers don't understand is that if the game play and depth of story are there you really don't need all the fancy graphics and effects. I'm glad that you do.

2D for the win! (Andrew, your graphiks rock our socks bro.)

@dilz Great pic of the Matrix Flowchart !!!!

Looking forward to reading your hacking guide.
