What does to IP mean?

I've seen many pro-cwers say that someone "IP's" when he/she took the flag faster than the others from the ground. What does that mean? Is it legal? How can you do it (if it's legal)?


IP used to determine a player's PID (Player ID), which sets the order in which the server processes events for each character. Basically, players with lower numbers for the last 2 parts of their IP address would gain an advantage over anyone who performed an action in the same relative window of time that they did. For example: If two people clicked a dropped flag at the same time, the one with the lower IP would get the flag.


However, the Runetek5 update changed the determination of PID, disposing of the usability of IP addresses to gain an advantage. Instead, PID is determined when you log in. The most viable (from a programmers perspective) method of determining PID is that you are given the lowest available PID when you log in (lower = faster), and you lose that PID (and free it up for someone else) as soon as you log out.

Flag holding

An IP keeps changing it to say that melee flag holders can't attack. They can attack; just with lower attack power. If you want to argue that, argue it here. Why can't they attack? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 16:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


Tactics

Would it be bad to put tactics for playing on the main page or on my page? Thanks. Syugecin

I'd put it in a seprate atricle castle wars tactics 88.109.83.190 13:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Battle Tactics

This paragraph is a little off base and repeats some stuff already said in the document. I'm not saying the paragraph should be deleted, it has useful information in it, it just needs to be editede a little bit to exclude already stated information and organize the information in the paragraph to seperate paragraphs to make it easier to read.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wafflecake2 (talk) on 14:24, June 28, 2007 UTC.


Members Only?

I think that it should specify if it a members only Mini-Game because I would like to know and I play FTP.

It is members only. I'll add it in now. Ssj metroid 01:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Arrows

Do you get them back? 87.80.83.70

No. You do not if you do not pick them up that is. C.ChiamTalk Calebchiam 13:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, some will break anyway. File:Rollbackcrown.PNG Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 13:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
You CAN though, have Lanthus enchant your cape by bringing him Ava's Accumulator. He does what Nomad does in Soul Wars to it! The Mistress of Poison 20:55, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Positions

Are these official positions, or are they just names for people that do those things that somebody made up... if we're going to have them here, can someone please clarify. Dragon platebody Mythik Bandos godsword 23:20, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

They're player made. As far as I know, only Barbarian Assault has official positions. Dtm142 20:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

This section is still woefully disorganised compared to the rest of the article. Perhaps a table is in order to get things looking more clean, or considering the other similar sections perhaps it should be scrapped altogether.Spikkle 23:38, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Done! 222 talk 01:33, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

"Take-From"

anyone know what this actually does? Take the flag? under what condititions can you take from someone?

Glitch

I seem to have found this glitch when i died on the river stones.

the colors were altered by paint, so sorry. It was the same as the respawn room, but I couldn't move. Noobsrus 21:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Skill capes

I know this seems unlikely, but I remember a loooong time ago I played against some guys who had on skill capes in Castle Wars instead of the default Saradomin or Zamorak capes. I realize this is highly unlikely, but just wondering if anyone else seen something like it? Shafez

They got in by Noclip glitching. It's when a player can walk through wall and such.

Grammar?

In the trivia section I found this sentence "Players were once able to drop their into there teams respawn room." It doesn't make much sense if someone knows what they mean please correct it it's near the bottom! 66.188.117.77 01:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Barricades

Like the article says, I have noticed that some people randomly attack the barriers that will prevent the other team from making a quick escape from the fourth floor of our castle with the flag. When I first saw this, I simply thought that they wanted to go downstairs, but once the barrier was gone, they just went back to their spot on the far corner of the roof (really useful, huh?). It seems like they either want to sabotage the team or their macho pride makes them think that they shouldn't have to have barriers because they can 1-hit anybody.

Nice Picture

I'd just like to say that the first picture on the article of the outside of the lobby is awesome, with emphasis on the awe. I would like to know if it was taken with the Orb of Occulus, though I suspect it was.

Split

Could some parts of the article especially the Tactics section be split off. That way they could be expanded without making the article too long. 222 talk 05:50, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Done (read RS:BB) 222 talk 06:39, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Update Help

Hey, if anyone could, please help me format the page to reflect the new changes. Also, anyone that could create a few good articles for the new items, please do so! Thanks a ton! The Mistress of Poison 20:53, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

I have the Castle Wars page updated in the rewards section with all the new items. All I need now are pages for the rewards! The Mistress of Poison 20:53, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks to everyone who made more of the item pages! Good work! The Mistress of Poison 22:17, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
