Ugh, a suspected hacker.

Raeiphon · #1 06-07-2005, 12:44 PM

Lord Sephiroth had a seemingly endless supply of pipebombs and was running into us and throwing them at us. We couldnt dodge them and he'd keep on throwing them. He did this for around 20 minutes while running around being practically invunerable. Each time he threw 10-20 pipebombs.

Beside the fact he was constantly swearing, it lagged us so bad we couldnt fire if we werent killed by the explosions.

xAndrewx · #2 06-07-2005, 01:24 PM

What hack do you think he used?
Frame rate?

Rick · #3 06-07-2005, 01:42 PM

Err... pipebombs are cheap, not hard to get a ton of them. That is why they are heavily abused for lag spamming.

Cheap? You can easily waste like 100k on pipe bombs without even noticing. I doubt someone would have enough pipe bombs to laste them 20 minutes long, when they're constantly throwing them.

Googi · #5 06-07-2005, 03:22 PM

Sounds more like lag.

Gambet takes offense because he lames this way aswell.

I only get on client when I'm testing or when I have the extra time to play. And, when I do play, I hardly use bombs, unless I'm being attacked by a massive group of players. So, please, keep your comments to yourself.

Kaimetsu · #8 06-07-2005, 09:48 PM

Given that his name is 'Lord Sephiroth', I think it is safe to say that he is not a 'hacker'.

Must you take everything so literally? When someone goes 100 times faster then regular speed, players call that person a "hacker". Of course, they are using a program to go that speed, so no, they are not hackers, but I'm sure by now everyone knows what they mean.

Do you even know what that means? This isn't a matter of figurative speech, it's a matter of conflicting definitions.

And in doing so they encourage the idiot.

Gambet · #11 06-07-2005, 10:20 PM

Why? Because anyone with half a brain knows what the person reporting this "hacker" actually meant. I mean, people using trainers have been called hackers for years now.

So?

Lord Sephiroth · #13 06-08-2005, 03:01 AM

I used 3k on Pipebombs and I only throw them when I get to Base 1. I don't use any weapons or bombs in the field, only on Base one. I have about 60 left.
Though I feel complimented, Im laming well enough to be considered "hacker".
Thanks.

Isn't there like any program on graal that can detect hacking and alert any RC's on the server so the staff can take imediate action.

You mean a script, and yes.

Ok, Andrew(i dont know how else to refer to him, i hope andrew is ok) says there is one, but isnt the point of hacking transending(or whatever) all of the rules? ignoring them, breaking them, saying that you ignore the rules of everything to make it go how you want?
How would something detect that? Can you make a script search for an anomoly?

Gambet · #17 06-07-2005, 10:34 PM

So you'll only be acting like a fool by doing so. Sure, the players misuse the word, but atleast they misuse it in a form that everyone can understand what they mean.

I think you're missing a few logical steps there, buddy. Go back and try again.

No, you're just trying to act like a smart ass by doing so. We KNOW that the term is being misused, we KNOW what the person means when they report such "hackers", and we don't need you to continue being a smart ass in every thread that talks about it. You said it once, now let it go. You can't change everything to be how you like it.

I'm simply waiting for you to support your statements.

I never contested this, so I don't know what you're trying to achieve by incessantly parroting it.

Quote:

And I don't "need" you to whine about it. So I guess you should stop?

If you know, why do you keep using it incorrectly?

Googi · #23 06-07-2005, 11:53 PM

I remember back in the day when people used to actually use evidence against Kai instead of insulting him.

Raeiphon · #24 06-08-2005, 09:19 AM

Still, there should be some delay in pipe bombing, its really unfair for the newer players.

Blackdragon · #25 06-12-2005, 03:40 PM

ok there is ntoher hacker this guy doesn't care what other people see hes like moving like 2 commandos but hes a sapper class his account DaRKIcE hes speed hacking ask anyone there hes moving around with a shotgun with out even reloading it, Its madness please do something about him i'm going to tell other servers about him to watch him ok so please do soemthing about him please and ty you

Ok, lemme see if i understand what you meant, but not typed.
You found another "hacker"*, his account DaRKIcE. He's moving at the speed of 2 commandos combined, but he's a sapper. Ask anyone, they'll say he was shooting around a shotgun without having to reload. It's crazy, warn other servers. Ban him. Thank you.**

*" Marks because he "might be using a program, not really hacking"

** Ty is thank you. You said, in effect, thank you you.
Andy, really? But does it find, like, player speed or something, and notify an rc or somethin? Or how ,many blocks in how many seconds? Or what?

xAndrewx · #27 06-12-2005, 04:01 PM

A script can do what ever you program it to do.
Tell Gambet Blackdragon.

the not loading of shotgun isnt really a hack, i myself sometimes cross this. like when i enter the sweep building i notice i suddenly dont have to reload (i think its just all lag)

Happens to me too, except it gives me 12 extra ammo, and for those 12 shots I don't need to reload (Ex: 500 normal ammo-512 ammo,
1st reload = 498 ammo)
