you shoudl read thru this thread. people who hve have gone an exceptionally long time between pulses tend to have the .bin file get corrupted and lose all their strokes.

[protegechris]

lol it'll corrupt itself at 900 thousand keys.

[Wolfgang]

hmmm you have a point. Maybe I'll make it 408804 instead. I've done over 200,000 before.

[Warrior of the Light]

there's no harm in saving up keys.. just backup whatpulse.bin daily

[Wolfgang]

but then if it corrupts, how do you use a saved .bin? Will the program recognise it?

If it does, then what's to stop people from cheating? Saving .bins and then reusing them to stack up hundreds of thousands of keys.

i wonder if you can even do that...

/edit

tried it. doesn't work.

[Wolfgang]

I thought so. I used to run WP on my flash disk at college, and whenever I restarted it it told me I had to delete whatpulse.bin and start again.

There's a large forum on the site for cheating reports, so cheating somehow must be possible.

it is probably possible with programs that fake keystrokes.

Possibly. Certainly you could just run Windows in an emulated session (such as Bochs), and have it give emulated keystrokes.

Another system would be to just find the part of WhatPulse that gets called for a keystroke, and just call that with something you've written.

You could also possibly patch whatpulse.exe, though that seems far more work than it's worth...

No, of course I don't cheat. :P

[Wolfgang]

heh, I was thinking that cheating could be done in a much more rudimentary way. Get an electric motor and get it to repeatedly hit shift or something whenever you're not using the PC. Actually, if someone did that they'd be among the saddest people on Earth.

[Warrior of the Light]

not only that, he'd be banned within hours

[xzxzzx]

Phff. I could cheat and never get caught. One of the keys is just not cheating too much.

[Wolfgang]

It's interesting to see which the most used keys are:

1. 34,235 Space
2. 21.067 E
3. 15,769 T
4. 14,879 A
5. 14,776 Backspace
6. 14.726 O
7. 13,796 Left Shift
8. 13,436 I

Apparently the letter E is the most used in the English language, so the scientific data I have collected proves this. I also seem to make lots of mistakes.

35,007 Space

8,147 H

Actually, whatpulse.bin is where the account data, as well as keystrokes you make are stored until pulsed; trying to tamper with it just results in "corruption", though.

And I learned that the hard way, trying to do the backup thing and when it finally did go corrupt I learned it doesn't work to use a backed up one so I pulse every 2 to 20 thousand keys now..

Dlink.. You use F1 a lot are you a gamer?

[dlinkwit27]

yea, I play "america's army" and f1 is the playerlist screen. I use it to check who all is alive on my team.

[protegechris]

I KNEW it I play too

I know, but you could patch whatpulse.exe to load a file regaurdless of its "corrupted" status, for example.

[protegechris]

bump for new members!

[Warrior of the Light]

hoping for some competition?

[protegechris]

i wish

[mysterious_w]

One of the guys in my school had whatpulse in his msn name, so now there's a 3-way battle going on between him (joe), me and another guy in our year (metcalfe) who's joined the team. protegechris watch out (literally)

mysterious_w a.k.a Walker
Mojo a.k.a Metcalfe a.k.a James
Joe a.k.a The big J.C. a.k.a The big gay C a.k.a lanky larry

WTF? 160,474 keys in 46 hours? That's almost 1 key a second for nearly two days straight! Is he on a caffinated C++ coding session or something?

[mysterious_w]

No, just typing out a whole English textbook to me in around 20 min over IM

[protegechris]

I should make the top 10 work for me.

No, it was spread out through the 46 hours.

[protegechris]

wtf is up with this joechilds guy? How old is he? If he is in school there is no way he types this much, none that I can think of.

157,263 keys on friday the 3rd of june. School day? Maybe it's summertime. That's a lot.

[ElChevelle]

[mysterious_w]

exam season, meaning he had whole morning to type (he's not the type to study)

[dlinkwit27]

i installed this on my g/f's comp a while ago, but forgot to turn on teh auto-pulse thing and now there aer about 500k strokes that I cannt get to send. Every time "server busy, try again in an hour or so".

[protegechris]

yeah that sucks.. thats what happened on my other comp, i had to leave it idle for like a week several times I've just reset a few hundred thousand keys because I couldn't let it idle.

[Wolfgang]

Hey chris you could join the Sultans of Pulse now if you wanted to (they only take people with 10 million +). But your loyalty lies here right?

[protegechris]

of course

[protegechris]

Wednesday (June 8th) 422,782 90,854 2
Tuesday (June 7th) 189,612 33,853 1
Monday (June 6th) 252,249 37,282 2

How do you do that? day, date, keys, clicks, pulses

[mysterious_w]

I have no idea, but my friend is an utter loon. He has started coming up to me before exams saying how he just pulsed 300,000 keys, and how he has peed off this other guy (who has moved back to his old team).

[MojoMonkeyX]

JoeChild's is using memory hacks but is abusing his position with admins to stay off the list. I'm getting him back on don't worry

And in answer to you guys' questions, I am a programmer yes, and I also play AA

[Wolfgang]

so basically you don't go outside?

[Print]

Haha, if I my posts were as long as my last few, I would own joo all ...

I'll never be down with What Pulse though.. it would just show me that I spend way too much time on my computer...

[MojoMonkeyX]

dude i go outside enough
