H4XX0R RPG is an attempt at a virtual Internet based game.

The goal

You play the role of h4x. Nothing is known about you, at first, not even your name. You enter a vast, open Internet full of endless wonders... in an attempt to find out who you are, and why you have landed on a page called h4xx0r.net.

It's asking you for a username and password, which you do not have.

Essentially you can do whatever you like on this Internet which contains parodies of many popular websites...

Death

If your computer gets a virus, or you do something silly, you will land on a 404 page. This is your GAME OVER screen.

Adverts? What is safe to click?

It is safe to click absolutely anything contained within this game. Even adverts, spam emails, or things that might normally give you a virus.

Safe is of course meaning in real life terms... your game could go interesting places if you click some obscure advertisements or whatnot.

Websites online

Spoilered because you should really find out yourself.

Spoiler: Site list

H4XX0R, admin CP
Facebook
Youporn
Holliter
Google
Yahoo! Answers
Get-Ripped
404

Spoiler: Planned sites

Wikipedia
Microsoft.com
Gmail (email system)
ebay
Twitter

This game is NSFW.

This game is 18+, NSFW, contains porn, contains bad things, contains parodies, contains references to 18+ shit, etc etc etc.

It is designed as a clone of the Internet, and you know what the Internet is like.

Dead links

Every link is traversable, however at the moment some will lead to dead-ends (click "back").

The aim is eventually to have every page linking to another page until you reach H4XX0R again, or a 404 page (game over).

Scope

At the moment the game is very small... 28 html pages making up it's construction.

It will grow daily as it's pretty simple to update.

The end?

Currently the username and password aren't found anywhere.

Eventually there will be clues lying around as to what they are, and then you can log into H4XX0R and end the game. But for now, just testins.


The demo

Tested in Firefox 3.x

Remember - 18+, nsfw.

FAQ

Q. Why don't the websites look anything like what they are meant to portray?
A. Speed, ease of duplication, laziness, loading times, and the fact I want every link to go somewhere.

Q. Why is it so small? This isn't worth it.
A. Just testing the "system" at the moment. Will upload more sites daily if I can.

ha ha ha, that was pretty funny, although there are too many useless links on the youporn page.

All in all, what you have so far is a bit too easy. I can pretty much see what the site will be when my mouse hovers over it, so it spoils the fun a bit. Various links did nothing, and the ability to traverse back really kills it.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the final product and exact what kind of shit you'll put in it.

 

[vgvgf]

Nice idea, I'd like to see it finished.

As Daxisheart said, you can see where the link goes, so it's too easy not to get a 404. You should make a php redirector, something simple using some kind of id like "redirect.php?id=57".

 

[Ellie]

Thanks. Yeah at the moment there isn't much, just a handful of "sites".

I never thought about filenames -.- I think a php redirector would be a bit too confusing for me, instead I'll just rename everything as er...

site1_page1
site1_page2
site2_page1

etc, with no 404.html, rather site1_page2 might contain the 404 page.

I also need to remake the 404 page, it kinda sucks.


I drew up some plans for the first part of the game last night.

There'll be lots of small interlinking pages, and then several "hubs" - i.e. places that connect to lots of places.

I'll also be working on working username/password systems - you might encounter Hotmail.com but be unable to view anything; find the password in an activation email somewhere and BOOM, you have access to a list of sites contained in Hotmail emails.



I don't have a scanner for the fancy sitemap drawing but:

Spoiler: planned sites

H4XX0R
Facebook
Google

Phpbb
Wikipedia
Microsoft
Yahoo! Answers
Gmail
Hotmail
Twitter
Youporn
Youtube
Get-Ripped
Whiten-Teeth

Blogger
Warez site
Paypal
Amazon
Microsoft tech support
ebay

gmail, hotmail, google and bing all provide "hub" pages linking to lots of smaller sites.

By my plans there are no "dead ends", everything goes somewhere.

 

[Ellie]

Ok so in terms of password systems I think I'll be using simple php post/get.

hotmail - enter username and password - takes you to hotmail.php?u=username&p=password

Then that page checks if they are correct and redirects you to either 896&^£(*)%&*£%.html or hotmail_failed.html

>_>.

I think that will work.

 

[Ellie]

Update #2

Haven't got around to renaming all the files yet. However;

The first quest!

I've added the following sites:

Amazon
a9
gmail

If you can find them, you'll eventually end up at gmail - which requires a password to enter. The password is currently a simple single word, no caps, no numbers, no other characters, and is short. That's the only clues you're getting because if you've read all the sites (mainly the new ones) it should be simple!

 

[moog]

haha this was pretty cool man! Id like to see you add more to it.

i figured it out

youre a dick thanks for that

 

[Ellie]

Thoughts:

Is it possible to do tests based on a user's browsing history?

If so then the following could be done:

1. can only access certain pages if previous ones have been viewed already
2. a "browsing history" inside the game, which shows all pages of H4XX0R you have already viewed (main pages of sites only) which you can browse back to at any time



The next password to find will be for hotmail - but you'll also have to find the e-mail address this time and the password will be more difficult d

I'd also like some branches, so you can follow more than one path.. idk.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Rather than checking browers history, just use php setcookie

http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

setcookie('visited_google', 'ON', time() + 60*60*24*30)

To check
if (isset($_COOKIE["visited_google"])) {}

 

[Ellie]

Oh, I never realised cookies were so simple. Thanks, it works! I'll find a use for it later.

(At the moment, admin_1.php sets a cookie, test.php tests if it exists or not, and unset.php deletes it again).

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Sounds like you are making tons of pages. Why not make a 'include.php' with a php function like so:

 

function hax_setcookie($id) {

  t = time() + 60*60*24*30;

  switch ($id) {

  case 0:

    setcookie('visited_google', 'ON', t);

  case 1:

    setcookie('visited_youporn', 'ON', t);

  }

}

 

function has_cookieset($id) {

  switch ($id) {

  case 0:

    return (isset($_COOKIE["visited_google"]));

  case 1:

    return (isset($_COOKIE["visited_youporn"]));

  }

}

 

function hax_unsetcookie($id) {

  switch ($id) {

  case 0:

    // unset cookie

  case 1:

    // unset cookie

  }

}

 

Now on pages you wish to set/check/unset cookies, include your include.php file and call those functions.
include 'include.php'

You could even add a redirect function here as someone mentioned above. :biggrin:

 

[Toams]

yeahh i got the password on my first try, and i didnt 404 ONCE
eat that shit

 

[Ellie]

Game is gonna be down for a few minutes while I update it.

BIG UPDATE #3

New in this update:

- everything is now a php file so I can use cookies and gets and other functions and shit
- files are now named p#.php, i.e. p1.php, p2.php, so you can't cheat by looking at the status bar
- 404 files are duplicated, so you won't be able to remember the number and look out for it
- google now shows proper searches and relevant ads

Coming in the next update:

- a "working" google search based on what you type in, with "relevant" adverts
- a working version of the dating site (different images based on options)
- a reason for gmail
- facebook with an actual friends list

IMPORTANT NOTE

The game is now located at www.h4xx0r.in

I will get around to making an index eventually.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE

I think I tested every link but there are a lot. If you find a 404 file like this: http://vengeance-rpg.com/H4XX0R/nofileishere.php

...then the file is legitimately not where it is supposed to be. Please note down the number and let me know.

 

[Glitchfinder]

All you need to do for the 404 page is to set up a proper .htaccess file. Set it up so that it will link to a custom 404 page and, so long as you make a link to a page on your domain that doesn't exist, you will go to that custom 404 error page. The best part is that you won't be able to tell until you click the link, and you won't be making a lot of 404 pages with different names.

 

[Ellie]

Oh :p I never thought of it like that. That would probably be best, yeah.

FULL FACEBOOK DONE!

So yeah, you can now add friends on facebook.

To clear all your cookies for H4XX0R there is a link on the homepage.

IRC channel

There's now a channel at #H4XX0R on irc.slacked.org

link here for mibbit

 

[Ellie]

UPDATE #4

Added a disclaimer to all pages. This can be removed by clicking a link in the bar.

Added a link to clear all H4XX0R related cookies to H4XX0R.php.

Added paypal (but you can't log in yet).

Added some e-mails to your gmail inbox if you've got that far.

I plan to have emails being dynamic. For example, after you visit x special site, a new email will appear in your inbox, your facebook log will update, or something else will happen.

 

[Ellie]

UPDATE #5

Just spent a while coding the next passwordquest. This one is a lot lengthier and requires further digging into the smallest of links...

I have updated several pages and added some new ones.

Go to paypal - and click to send a password reminder... and then... yeah.

I am hoping it won't be too difficult so I need people to test it!

This also introduces a "working" e-mail system - it will send the password reminder to your "gmail account".




Note: assume any cases are the same as when you found them. If you think a password is thompson and saw it with a small t then its a small t.

 

[Ellie]

New Domain

h4xx0r is now located at:

http://www.h4xx0r.in

While the original directory remains it will not be updated. Please use the new domain.



I finished wikipedia, will add a link to it somewhere soon.



STATS

Added some game stats to the new homepage at www.h4xx0r.in.

 

[action]

I can't really see what I'm supposed to actually do in this game.
I suppose I should wait until it is finished... But am I supposed to keep going through links until I get somewhere? And how am I supposed to figure out these passwords?

I'm just confused @.@
