Metris Records

screen_name · #1 03-16-2002, 03:27 AM

everyone says that i hacked the scores or something because i should've been disconnected, but i swear i scored this score

during the course of game play, i paused, read and sent pms, and chatted to players, so maybe thats what stopped me from being disconnected, please clear this up stefan

here is a pic

Hmmm normally you can't get such a score, but
if you have a slow computer and pause a lot you can
probably reach that

That's why there needs to be a command to disable pause so that players can't pause while playing it.

Kind of takes the point out of it when you can pause when the block appears and then think of the best location for it. I could score like 100,000 on it if it wasn't for being disconnected.

For some reason I always have bad luck with it. I tried to pause and do other stuff and come back, but all the sudden it just says "You have been disconnected from the server" nothing about me not moving or anything.

That, or my cable modem decides to lose it's signal RIGHT while I'm playing.

I remember lagging so bad that i could easy score records like that

FFusion · #6 03-16-2002, 04:07 AM

you should still be able to pause but when you do pause the pieces disappear like they do in the real game, tetris.

cds96 · #7 03-16-2002, 04:12 AM

i would like an indicator of what peice is coming next

Psyker · #8 03-16-2002, 04:29 AM

if we do that we should reset the metris scores because if they already had those scores when it was ez it would be unfair

screen_name is lying...
I was there in personalhouse.pw (sparker´s house) and saw him playing metris, and I saw 900 points, not 8000 points

you have to lie better

screen_name · #11 03-16-2002, 05:06 AM

it was last night, not today when i was playing

and to konidias, i dont pause to think where to put the pieces, i pause to talk to people, thats all

screen_name is my friend, I saw the whole thing. He was playing metris by the gold pit. He was there for over a hour! He was not hacking/cheating. He is just a ******* good metris player!! You all are just mad cause he got the top score!

Screen Name is just a good Metris player, I think I have seen him beat out anyone that he has ever played. And isn't there any way at all to keep the player from disconnecting while playing Metris?

thanks, but i do lose every once in a while too

ZORG1986 · #16 03-16-2002, 05:51 AM

I seem to remember Kaimetsu saying Metris was a clientside script so scores could be changed, was this fixed before the score board was made?

Admins · #17 03-16-2002, 07:03 AM

It could move the player some tiles to the right
or to the left once in a while to prevent
'disconnected because you have not move'

funnylinkwantsbomys · #18 03-16-2002, 07:14 AM

*sees a little guy with a bone moving back and forth* THATS JUS NOT RIGHT lol maybe change the persons text to like their score?

Wouldn't he have been disconnected if he didn't move for an hour? Even if it does move you tiles to the right, he would have had to move about 4 times, correct?

He paused and replied to PMs, maybe that stopped him from getting d/c.

thats the only thing i can think of

Saga2001 · #22 03-16-2002, 06:36 PM

Yeah, however I think that you should be able to pause, but i think a good thing to test would be a variable to test a player's ping...

Minoc · #23 03-16-2002, 08:46 PM

Saying someone hacked scores is very very stupid, people just don't know what hacking is =\
And what's the point of playing Tetris in Graal?

ZORG1986 · #24 03-16-2002, 08:49 PM

They should make the disconnecting for not moving thing work with keydown so if your pressing left and right in Metris you dont get disconnected.

i agree i guess, even though i usually dont get disconnected anyways

Faheria_GP2 · #26 03-17-2002, 04:07 PM

you could make a duplicate of the bone gani

like metris2.gani

and every 10 or so seconds, alternate between them
