change parental control from number pad to a seq of button presses #319

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
instead of having the number pad on the screen in front
of everyone when you click the password in .
why not make it memorize a four button sequence of 
button presses on the wiimote ..

there is 10 buttons on the remote that would be the 
same as 0-9 and no one could see you entering your password
if there was lots of people in the same room 

like for exp:

left, 1 , A , 1
right, B , down, up

endless possibility

I really dont see any benefit to this.
And i dont get the comment about entering the password.
I am certainly not going to enter the password when somebody is looking.
Thats like you let people watch when you are at an ATM getting money.

you must be really rude to your guest if you have a living room full of people 
and need to make a change to a games settings .

you ask them to leave ... lol 

by using my method you could make the change in front of them and they would 
not need to leave the room .

Then i have a question for you teksigns, why do you need to suddenly change the 
password in a room full of people??
Where you playing games with adults and suddenly a kid came in? ;)

I change parental control before i have visitors and if i think they like to 
use the Wii, that is in my opinion what it is used for.

That said, if other people like the sugestion then why not implement it, i just 
dont see the point.

if you had a ton of games you would understand ... 
Not change the password ..
im just wanting a more secure way of disabling parental controls infront of 
people 
so they can not see what you click .

reason:

i have tons of games that i do  not play because i dont like them ...
but guest sometimes like them .and want to play them ...
however since i have not tested them sometimes they freeze 
or simply dont work cause the video setting needs changed .

so i have to disable parental controls to get to the settings for that 
game to make it work for them ....

Allright, I've deleted my former comment. I know that categories seem 
different, but they are not.

When you try to accomplish hiding games for whatever reasons, you can use 
categories. Check it out, before insulting me and my time. Actually, I think 
you should be glad that I'm not wasting MY TIME for creating and changing this 
loader so you can BRAG to your guests with it.

i dont want to hide games .. i never asked about hiding anything ....

i want to be able to make changes to games settings in front of people 
without giving away my password.

Allright, I got it...but we're not gonna add this in the near future.

i have no idea where you came up with i want to hide games ... 
i never want to hide anything ... i just want to keep them from 
deleting my games so i use parental controls ...

and i dont play those games so when company test them 
if they do not work . i need to make changes to the setting for that game .
therefore need a more secure way of typing the password ...

what i proposed is a very simple fix for you ....if you would just take the 
time 
to try to understand where im coming from ..

Actually, it took me 15 minutes. It's gonna be in the next release, or in my 
next commit (somewhere around 191)

Oh, yeah, before I forget. It will only work when you DON'T point at the 
screen. If you point at the screen, normal behavior will be used. And the HOME 
button cannot be part of the code. Mapping is as follows:

Up  0
Left    1
Right   2
Down    3
Minus   4
Plus    5
A   6
B   7
1   8
2   9

damn dude read a little.  You're  lucky r-win felt like felt like being nice 
because with your attitude I wouldnt have done shit for you.
"what i proposed is a very simple fix for you".. damn who are you to decide 
what is easy or not or when or how we should do something?  if it was so easy 
why did you not do it yourself?  we have bigger projects going on and will NOT 
accept any more feature requests for stupid little things like this right now.  
So you should be elated that you got your way even.  You are not a "customer" 
and we dont have to cater to your needs.

I just dont see how hard it is to try the dol..  Why not ask in the irc?  
obviously you were there if you got on the ftp.  the BUG tracker is for BUGS. 
thx.

if you are taking something out of context ... im sorry ...

i was just asking a question .

if this is not a request area .. im also sorry as there is a dropdown 
for requesting features ...i was refered her to ask for any features ..

im only trying to follow instructions ....
many people telling different things ....

i will not post in this thread again .....
im sorry i upset you somehow ......

Posting the feature enhancement here was the right thing to do. This is not a 
bug tracker only, but you can also do feature requests here. Teksign, if there 
are other helpfull enhancements, don't hesitate to post them here.

The reason I added this eventually, was because I can see the value in the 
request. Also, I like people who can support their case pretty decent :)

Actually, when testing this feature I pressed some keys, thereby locking myself 
out of wiiflow. Well done...

However, Miigotu is right about the no new features thing. We will not accept 
any new features anymore, until after our next release. But that doesn't mean 
you don't have to post here anymore!

Now, I suggest we all leave it at this point, and close this issue thread.
