RE: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2.

2005-03-30 Thread michavermeer

Another Suggestion, to really get people to fear cheating, after VAC2 having
proven itself, make the ban steam wide, not just for the application being
played, they should not be able to play anything at all, not even on
non-secure servers.

Don't even give them a chance to enjoy the game(s) they've tried to ruin for
others.

Just like with (what used to be) the Catholic church, if you want to repent,
it will cost you money, in the form of having to buy another Steam Account.
(No flame intended)

We'll have to come up with a solution for the pubs though :/
(if clients want to play CS(S), boot to a clean image, where security
disallows any additional files in the dir's (where possible).

I don't think that would be much of a problem... they are in violation of
the User Agreement.

VAC2 would of course have evidence to back up the reason why it banned that
account.

Anyway, most casual cheaters will not be bothered enough to risk their
account, the rest of them would not have the money to sustain a lawyer long
enough. And if someone does get the guts and the money (or they are banned
by mistake), VALVe requires that a thorough investigation is held (or
something like this). The 0.01 % of people that does get trough all that...
well, that's collateral damage.

I don't think its likely that VALVe would get sued for millions for a
mistakenly banned account.

Just my 2 eurocents

I'm sure that VALVe would be all over this if you offered to refund the
retailers, and cover the legal bills from the resultant lawsuits filed by
those who are banned and cannot play their games at all.

RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update

2005-03-24 Thread michavermeer
Oh no, not this:

Equipping the silencer is canceled if the player switches weapons

Now i cant put my silencer on in a twitch and run from spawn all the way
with a split second advantage... :/ that is when you have a freeze time less
then 2 (or so) seconds (For those that don't know, you run faster with your
knife in your hand, than with an m4)

Now I have to guess when the sequence has finished... just like with
reloading the m4, the animation is finished, but still cant shoot for about
an half second (which is a eternity if you have a opponent shooting at you)
ive been killed because of that stupid last half second too many times!!

I guess I really have to make a pistol switch script now.

By the way, it is rather funny seeing someone doing some sort of sequence
(weapon pointing all over the place) and firing at me, and actually hitting
me. (ask me for details if you don't know what in talking about)


Oh well, I guess this update has _some_ advantages ;)

Thanks Alfred
