[edit] HackScript
HackScript's syntax is similar to that of C, although HackScript does not contain definable functions. Instead, HackScript uses preset functions that are executed when an action is detected. Bleh does not know what else to add.

[edit] Hardware
All the hardware in hackwars determines the power of your system and how much it can run at any one time. There are several pieces of hardware that can be upgraded to increase the power and capacity of your computer system.
CPU is most important piece of hardware on the game. This determines how many ports and watches you can have running at any one time. You start off with a CPU that only has 50 CPU points and will finally end up with a CPU that has 300 points. Upgrading this should be first on your list.
Memory determines the maximum number of ports you can have open and the number of watches you can have running at any one time.
Hard Disc Drive determines the maximum amount of files you can hold on your system. The better the HDD is, the more files you can store.
PCI/AGP Cards are the only pieces of hardware you can buy and sell from any store on hackwars, or found on NPC, FTP ports. They provide you with small increases (or decreases) in system attributes, such as extra CPU points or extra file capacity. Equiping such cards onto your system will allow these changes to take effect.
[edit] Firewalls
Firewalls help to protect you from attackers. A port with a firewall installed will reduce the amount of damage the attacker will do to it each time it is hit. The stronger the firewall, the less damage the attacker will do as a result.
Normal Firewalls only reduce the damage an attacker will do each hit. However, normal firewalls come in different levels of strength. They start at Basic level, then Medium and finally, Greater.
Attacking Firewalls not only reduce the damage the attacker can do each hit to a port, but also deal damage back to the attacker. These can also be found in different levels of strengh, from basic to greater.
Ultimate Firewalls are the last of the firewalls that you will be able to access and require you to be a Firewall level of at least 95. They are the strongest of all firewalls, cost a huge amount of money to purchase and are also capable of dealing damage back to the attacker when the port it is assigned to, is attacked.
You firewall level increases by the amount of damage the firewall blocks, each time the port is hit.
[edit] Watches
If you want to protect your system and make it provide you with feedback about scans or attacks, yor going to need to use watch scripts. These scripts are capable of logging the IPs of the players who scan or attack you and also, they are capable of starting a counter-attack against the attacker. There are 3 types of watches that you can use.
Petty Cash Watches are triggered when the amount in your petty cash increases or decreases. You can use these watches for things such as automatically depositing your cash into your bank when it reaches the specified amount.
Scan Watches are triggered when someone scans your system. You can use this type of watch for things such as automatically turning off your systems ports when it is scanned, to confuse the pontential attacker.
Health Watches are triggered when the health of the port it is assigned to has changed. These can be used for things such as counter-attacks, port healing or turning off/on ports.
