The Whole Problem of Good Intentioned Mods gone Horribly Wro

Tue Sep 16, 2003 4:51 pm by Chips

Getting fed up of hearing this reverse engineering crap! If you have the cloak, you can see cloaks. There are 9 cloaks in total using several different effects (5 different effects) This reverse engineering phrase is rubbish. Search for a post someone did a long time ago about how to see cloakers - bout the little adjustments you make - no reverse engineering needed, none of that crap, just a couple of instances of gun instead and done.
-However, you still can't see their weapons unless you do more modding, but that is beside the point...........(oh- and cloak detector didn't allow you to see weapons did it? Cos that way you wouldn't know if they were a cloaker or not unless someone else was there who couldn't see them)
Chips
p.s - never had to use cloak detector, so i assume it does just what i mentioned up there - at which point you can't see their weapons, therefore, don't know IF they really are armed with cloak at all.....................get it?

Well, well, well...

This is a very interesting topic. Gregstar, you ever thought that this is being quite cruel?

Also: For v2.0 of TNG, we will remove the Warp thing STRAIGHT away at the first sign of abuse. This goes for all the other things.

And for the Turret things... Whats wrong with that? I am planning it myself, and I might even INTEND to add escorts for yourself....

Reverse engineer is a term, especially when concerning virus curing. All it is is the disassembling of it into what you can use. Whooopido.

You CAN tell if someone is a cheater cloak or not. Even if they use a hacked tizona to hurt you because:

A) You keep dying when near them

You get hurt for no reason when NEAR THEM
C) You hear from other players about THEM

It's not that hard chips. Anyone got some dip?

I must say, You all have som good points here. I actually have an example that i'm working on at the moment called the 'coronasurfer' it is designed to withstand the heat of the damage zone of the sun. And guess what the first thing i thaught was?

'That things f***ing invincible!'

so, all you people out there THINK before you send these 'good' mods put because cheaters can use them to tilt the balance in thier favour (anyone get the image of vertical scales?

Downwind whatever thingy.

I played on servers that had a busy busy Manhatten population. What does that mean? There were about 10 to 20 people round the planet manhatten at all times. What does that mean? At any one time you had to SCROLL through the list of players in the visible 5km of you.....what does that mean??? That any one of those 10-20 players could be the pker, and not always did they shoot everyone, sometimes just one person...........what does that mean?? It can be a little hard for some people to find out who the pkers using hacks to kill everyone were........what does that mean?
Shut up basically, cos you aren't talking about similar situations at all. Sure, you see someone at about 5k and you die when there are only 2 others around, that is easy to work out. TRY 20 and having people squeeling about how someone is dock gang banging them - it can get a little fustrating.

As for the dip - very original..........usual kinda five year old insult.
Suggest you get some maturity next time

I just thought I'd mention this, maybe DA designed Freelancer too well. This thread, and others like it represent the classic clash between technology and tradition. Just like in the original privateer, most people want all this new technology (cloak mods etc) and others, like the retros, insist all that stuff is bad.

Of course there's always people who kill everyone and don't worry about higher ethics.

"Moloch, horrid King besmear'd with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
Though for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud
Thir childrens cries unheard, that past through fire
To his grim Idol. Him the Ammonite"

That's funny, trust me, you can tell.

Usually, if its a hacker/modder, the server has trouble with THAT many players as the server does LAG then...
i play on range from 28 to 32 OMG OMG does that mean 10-20 people can be in manhattan? Of Course. We have clan wars for godsake.

Considering I'm finishing my Uni Degree this year, I'm proud to be a five year old because that means I'm much smarter than you chip-dog...
