Wow.


Alien crosshairs are considered cheating, so give us proof that you cheat.

Well, he is now banned from tremleague.
The ip to ban is 86.101.2.153, but the last octel changes so banning 86.101.2.* would be best, however it might affect more than just him.

exactly, if they thought it was cheating, the variable would be cheat protected (and if they meant to cheat protect it in the next release, it would be cheat protected in svn, it isn't)
edit: if you knew this was gonna happen, why didn't you just use your regular hud when recording the avi?

I like to play with noobs, but banning from Tremleague :O , isnt fair i think.
ui_menuFiles -> not cheat protected -> custom hud isnt cheat-> custom crossgair is enabled in game. in all q3 game custom hud is enabled i think.
So im banned for fake reason.

Edit: So lava and other noobs owned themself again. Great shot!

This is what happens when you whoop 1337 ass. U get banned.

Gj you gods of Trem.

Nice to know that we all have equal rights here.

Now will you dipshits get the sand out of your vaginas and unban the guy.
If you make such an idiotic hummie move, it's only expected to get your ass handed to you. Crosshair or not.
Title: You think that's a custom HUD?
Post by: WolfWings ShadowFlight on October 29, 2006, 07:23:35 pm
You think adding a minor crosshair to the stock HUD is 'cheating' these days?

(http://wolfwings.us/tremulous/HumanHUD.gif)

That's my human HUD. My alien hud looks just about identical, and is that compact. Yes, including the crosshairs. I could just as easilly add the crosshairs as a strip of tape on my screen though, so realistically, what's the point of trying to claim crosshairs are cheating when someone goes through the extra effort to add them to their HUD compared to the 'piece of tape on the screen' approach? Modifying the HUD files takes more effort by far compared to two seconds for a tape crosshair.

The core design of the client-side HUD is meant to allow extensive modification. Tremulous was built around the Quake 3 Team Arena HUD, NOT the stock Quake 3 Arena HUD. The Team Arena HUD is built around the same scripting language Tremulous uses for HUD's, and designed to be extensively modified and re-arranged, if not outright thrown out and built from scratch again for heavier or lighter levels of theme and visual eye-candy.

Seperately, all the HUD menu-files are controlled by a client-side non-cheat-protected CVAR, again indicating the CVAR is meant to be customized, meaning the HUD files are meant to be customized.

Could you get other that "it is cheating" crap and just admit using alien crosshairs isn't cheating at all? What next, using crosshairs with ckit is cheating too?

Let's just make everybody use them and be done with it.

altough i kind of hate puma for being a jerk at times i have to say that banning him from tremleague is a bit extreme.

the crosshairs aren't that big of a deal. what worries me is the time it takes him to make those very long pounces as goon...for the life of me i can't figure out how to pounce so quickly.

Alien Crosshairs
Cheap?
Yes, kinda.
Cheat?
Not at all.

I think they are kinda noobish, but go ahead and use them if you want to.
Personally, I think that even the Advanced Dragoon crosshairs should be modified, as a weapon with a ballistic trajectory should have a range-finding crosshair, not a dot crosshair.

if i must ask, if all of you, (mainly smokey and lava croft) have problems with the alien crosshairs, make your server pure. for christ sake. chompers hud isnt supposed to be considered a hack. it is simply a mod for thoes who are not good enough to aim right.

btw, nice sig puma  :-?

Purity doesn't prevent custom HUDs. My HUD works on sv_pure "1" servers just fine, with the stock 1.1.0 client-side download.

Use a crosshair as a learning tool so get better at aiming, until you are good enough that you no longer need it and you can remove it.
Philosophical compromise.

Well, as a matter of purity and making sure that no one can possibly get an edge in software, it's probably better to ban ALL modifications for tournament play. Even if Timbo says it doesnt provide an advantage, people use them for some reason, and just for the sake of equality it should be dealt with.

To get a server to check the code, though, you'd probably end up making it wholesale 1 to 1 with whatever master files the server wants you to have, which would probably kill binding too, which everyone seems to agree isnt a hack.

my 2¢...

I think it's just plain stupid to ban because of the crosshair.

If that is really the "smokey" I can remember, the one that is on a lot of shitlists, then it does not surprise me to see him whining here.

Where was it that the crosshairs got defined as a cheat? I did not yet see any concludent anouncement, just some bitching about it, mostly from players that have trouble playing as an alien...

no, i dont belive i know you, anyways using a crosshair is an unfair advantage. Iv asked the devs if they think it warrants a ban and im awating a reply.

What i find more disturbing then the actual use of the crosshair(agreed it won't help an experienced player that much, little advantage maybe otherwise you wouldn't use it) is the fact that it was used in a clanmatch.

Where do you draw the line for what are allowed modifications in a match?

Quote
Seperately, all the HUD menu-files are controlled by a client-side non-cheat-protected CVAR, again indicating the CVAR is meant to be customized, meaning the HUD files are meant to be customized.


So any changes i can think of to non-cheat-protected CVAR's(whatever the hell they are :) ) are not considered cheats? If i could find a way to make pink tyrants and get it to run on a pure server it would be 100% non cheating?

@ puma: On a side note why do you feel the need to egopost a demo on the forums everytime you successfully rush some newbies?

if it's not cheat protected, it's fair, there is no way to make pink tyrants by modifying cvars, and by suggesting that there was a way to do that, you show that you don't really understand how this works, the q3 hud was designed to be modified, even if you're playing on a pure server, if it wasn't, there would be about 5 ways (according to wolfwings, i haven't looked myself, but i can think of at least 2) that the devs could have forced you to use the default hud, but they didn't. how is a clan match any different from a regular game anyway? there is nothing preventing the other side from using the same hud if they think it will help them. just like binds, if one side chooses to make buy/evo binds, and the other doesn't, it doesn't make the match unfair in any way.

Why do people get so pissed off on something as minor and unimportant as a crosshair?

Do people use the adv goon and adv mara so they can have a crosshair -
No

Do adv goon/mara make a newb a pro because theres crosshair -
No

Do aliens kill by pointing at the targets head and stare them to death -
No

Do the Dev thinks crosshair is cheating -
No

Do i care if you have a crosshair or not -
No

Can anyone stop me from making hardware crosshair -
No

Do people get ******ed by a simple crosshair?
I dont know... its a sad world...

I'm pretty much with everyone about it not really being a cheat..
Because.. i think we've debated this before and come down to that same conclusion.. I believe even timbo has said directly it isn't really a cheat.
I don't have it enabled myself, and was a little bewildered to see it isn't actually where I thougt it would be.. apparently I over estimate a bit... but yeah.. .. puma go out into a field and flail yourself for being bad!

So would it be fair to prohibit binds since you prohibit crosshairs?

If the rules imply that only stock trem can be used in tremleague then so be it.
But please don't make a double standard in regards to this.
Either nothing is allowed or everything is.
U simply can't pick and choose as you wish.


*moron disclamer*

When I say all I mean all "legal" tweaks such as gamma, crosshair, binds, etc. This does not apply to wallhacks, aimbots, autoaim, etc.

Post by: TonkaTruck on October 30, 2006, 10:00:06 pm
Heck, I'm semi-new and I've played my fair share of games. Since its accessable to anyone who's willing to take the time and mess with coding its not really a cheat. If its a clan match and one side doesn't use it and the other does even though the one not using it is fully able to use it then its their choice. Besides the aliens attack radius isn't limited to the crosshair its bigger so it really doesn't matter if you got one or not, its not gonna make you better.

In short: Crosshairs can not be used for cheating. Ever.

This is crazy, honestly anyone whos ever played scoutzknivez in cs knows the spitball in mid of screen trick, i used to use it and eventually didn't need it.  Only reason no crosshair doesn't bother me is i got used to it.  Best way to learn without a crosshair is without a crosshair.  If someone wants one  say let them have it.  However us players who dont need one will always know, we know where the middle of our monitor is lol big whoop.
