After reading the title you probably think about either one of these things: "What the hell was he thinking?" or "Yay, finally homing attack for me!". To make sure, you won't think bad or raise your expectations too high, read this:

The guides are no longer password protected, but are now using an IP filter. This means: You have to send me a PM with your IP and I'll add it to the white list (Thanks to Irixion for suggesting, after he easly avoided the password protection!).
Besides that, people no longer just need to ask me for the password, they must also show me evidence that they really need the homing attack. In other words: This is not really a guide, but my part of supporting a hack, which could need help.
So don't PM me like "Hey, can I have access to your guides? My IP is: 123.456.789.012", but try to make your PM as decent as possible. That's all I'm telling you.

The link stays the same as the older guides of course: http://bsv-lueneburg...en/Selbi/guides

I suppose this is the day homing attack is no longer a feature exclusive. :s

For me homing attack gained the status "overused" since Megamix. I know it's one of the first hacks having this feature, but just look at the number hacks after that which have homing attack. Seriously, what difference does this guide make?

Cool, I'm glad that you're so generous. But I don't think I'll use this guide at all.

In that case, make way for the "How to port Super/Hyper Sonic" or "How to fully import knuckles into Sonic 1" Guide.


Know where I'm coming from?

Yeah, I must admit that there's a very interesting stuff in this place. But not useful for me actually due to my hack's purposes, I think. I didn't check this yet but certainly I will check it soon. Selbi broke with part of the policy that said "Not everyone can have certain things"? Not exactly, but Selbi is coming with very nice and very useful works for share... And this must be congratulated. So, congratulations again, Selbi!

I must say I dissagree with the whole "this feature is over used" because to behonest sometimes you get used to these extra moves and when I play a hack that dosnt have them I feel like its lacking, I love the peelout, I love the spindash, and to be fair the homming dash is growing on me - to me what makes a hack stand out is some of the wonderful new level layouts, some of the great new art and some of the other rare but amazing stuff like brotro's overworld or Megamix Megacd conversion. This is just my opinion.

[Selbi]

To be honest, that's excactly the same thing I thought when I started with all this protected guides thing. The real problem I see is that features get overused so much, that the actual problem is not that they are overused anymore, but that they become standard and a hack which is lacking this feature feels empty. But this is only limited to hacks which actually contain something, not just a little palette and layout change here and there, at least in my opinion (otherwise, this guide would be public).

Do you need LAN or WAN for my IP?

Oh come on, that question is far away from being a valid one. I'll give you a tip: http://www.whatismyip.com

And if ip the dynamic?

[Selbi]

And if ip the dynamic?

Then you just have a limited time looking at the guides, simple as that. If someone needs to look at the guides again for whatever reason, just PM over your new IP.

You do know people who get access to the guide can easily copy and paste the contents onto a file and spread it like wildfire, right?

You do know Dan, who gets access to the guides and easily copy and pastes the contents onto a file and spreads it like a wildfire, is fucking asshole? Besides that, I only let trusted people in. And by trusted I don't mean people whose name I never even heard before.

REALLY?!?
K. Next time, I'll think before posting a large flaw in the system. Sawwy, I'll never do it again! =(

What is that even supposed to mean? That just because they're trusted, you automatically know they won't leak shit?

Did your friends ever steal from you? If yes, they weren't friends. Those "trusted people" are persons, who are either my friends or I just know them for a damn long time and the way they acted on the forums is good enough to show me, that they're trusted.

Selbi, the problem is, that there might be a few people that won't like to give their IPs away...

No offense, but your quote made me laugh! If someone doesn't want to give away his IP, he can fuck off right away, because I'm not going to make any exceptions just because someone is scared that I do bad things with a number and some dots.

Besides that, your IP is totally not save on the internet, how else would http://whatismyip.com work? I mean, why do people even care about it?
