What is WP coming too?

Tue Jul 15, 2003 9:29 pm by JohnnyDakota

Just about 20 minutes ago I logged onto elite. Nothing radical or anything. I spawn in gamma this time, consequently 2 wp's are there (White..somehting, and Tellgalas). I proceed to own them after a few times of being dock raped. Then they start accusing me of cheating. Saying I have a double mount. My current layout is ;
2- TDC's
1- Nomad cannon
1- nomad blaster
1- catapult
1- lancer
1-wasp/hornet
and rippers.

Last time i checked that's perfectly legal. Maby i'm wrong, and if so has WP imposed some new unknown rule about only being able to mount 3 weps in the 6 available slots?? That's the only possible way i can explain the "double mount" accusation.
Just because ppl are noobs doesnt make them gods. Realize that if you're a noob (not ment to be insulting, but if you are only new to the game) chances are there are ppl out there that can own you over and over just from the simple fact they've had more time playing.

To the 2 wp's that accused me of cheating; You'll quickly realize that the most expensive/powerful weps arn't necessairly the most effective over all. That is why i use catapults/lancers vs. cannonballs. Regardless if i have 20 mill or 200 mill, i'll probalby use this layout.

cheers.

Perfectly legit weapon loadout.

They just couldn't handle the asswooping you gave them

Probably 8 year olds playing on daddy's computer.

I just found out that that there is a bug that might who a scan as a double mount even if there is none. If they saw that, I can totally see why they were accusing me of cheating. If they were accusing me of cheating as a bluff.. Very lame, and very low.

This is a bug, weapons are displayed incorrectly, happened to me while i was on argonus, the argonus admin said it had something to do with corrupted files on server side.
The player displays more weapons than he should, but he only fires his own original loadout, the others are "phantom" and useless.
Ironicly thats how [OWLMindnight was banned from elite.

Ah yes, they have tiny amounts of "evidence" that points to us cheating... A screenshot of an ex-member getting kicked for "cheating", and the buggged screen shot that was spoken of above.
Considering that they were quite insistant that there was no alternate explanation to hairy's sudden kick from elite due to his 'cheating' (they refused to believe it was a bug of some sort), how then will they explain the multitude of similar screen shots we have of them and their allies getting kicked?

The cheat kick really doesn't mean all that much. I've seen many a legit player get kicked once in a blue moon.

And that's to say nothing of how many times I've been kicked after running a mod in single player. Sometimes FLmod doesn't do such a great job of disabling mods. On occasion, depending on the mod, I've had to extract the game data files from the cabs on the CD to repair the game, after getting punted 3-4 times because flmod hadn't fully disabled a mod i'd deselected.

Witnessing a cheat kick means very little. Consistent attempts by a player over several days does. If you see a guy getting the cheat kick 3 times in a row within a 15 minute span it means just about nothing.

a thing i did to run SP mods in FL without having to worry about being kicked was make a copy of FL to another hard drive...FLMM is set to enable and disable mods on my SP freelancer while my MP freelancer is on another drive. i never get kicked.

Another thing that can happen is when you lag (red) and the game catches up sometime you have moved vast distances and this can sometime drop you with the cheat dectection (SPEED CHEAT) I have had this once or twice on odd servers.

This has happended even tho i dont have any mods or FLMM on the system after i tried it FLMM and a mod corructed FL and had to reinstall

oh come now Jhonny dont have to make up stuff, the last time i logged on as Tallgease was about 2 weeks ago when i was still playing FL. And z0pharx the only times i used hairy's pic of getting detected was when you posted pics of me getting detected, which was the bug that catches up to you when you lag. k?? KTHX@!@#
