Q2 Training Camp / Re: Volunteers needed!!!

« on: June 24, 2011, 03:45:58 AM »

Good tips Foc.  One thing I notice a LOT of novice-level players do that is a really bad habit is constantly jumping while firing ANY weapon.  This is an especially bad habit when someone is trying to hit you with the rail gun.  You have little to no control over your character after you hit that jump button and before you hit the ground.  Your trajectory is defined soon as you leave the ground.  For myself, if someone jumps and I'm trying to rail them, I feel like I should hit them 9 times out of 10, if not more, because they jumped.  However, if you're using the rocket launcher, it can occasionally be beneficial to jump before you fire, if you're going to be firing the rocket close to the ground near you.  In this case, jumping can actually lessen the splash damage you do to yourself from your own rocket.

I'm not saying to NEVER jump, but keep the jumps to a minimum, as many players will easily pick up the pattern that you're jumping with every shot, and intentionally wait for you to do this again to take their shot on you.  I think it's possible that many players are doing this in an attempt to imitate other players they see that are strafe jumping/running around the map, when they perhaps don't realize WHY those players are doing that.

Added a screen shot showing the crash logs in my Quake2 folder.  Not sure which of those files are needed.

So... you're not gonna use the damned anticheat or what?

I'd like to use AC to prove I don't hack (because I feel better when I see others using it, tbh), but I get the occasional crash with AC + R1Q2 (which I made a thread about, found HERE), so I have opted not to use it

It can be very annoying to hear that *ding* sound and then seeing the r1q2 crash screen in the middle of a game while you were playing well. Happened to me four times in just two days. Suspecting it was AC screwing something up I removed it and haven't had a crash since.  

That's exactly the one and ONLY reason I stopped using AC, after using it for a very long time.  Not a single crash since then.

...I don't feel like watching a demo in 3rd person of FFA DM

Just to clarify, it is a demo I recorded in first person.  Again, you just want to accuse without proof.  The proof you COULD have, you're not even willing to observe.  You were chasing me in third person, which when gauging whether or not someone is hacking is inferior to the first person demos that I have uploaded.

I'm glad your opinion and attitude is out in the open for everyone to see, btw.  I for one didn't know you were like this.

I consider Punk the most challenging FFA player I have ever played against.

He is 100% legit.

Thank you, Ely =)

P.S. Cheater threads are easier to defend yourself if your accusers make the first move.

Not sure what you mean by this.  I think me coming here, intentionally drawing attention to myself, would speak more to my being legit, as opposed to trying to keep everything quiet and avoiding any attention that might get me caught, if I was indeed cheating.  Thanks for vouching for me, though.

That's exactly the one and ONLY reason I stopped using AC, after using it for a very long time.  Not a single crash since then.  Yeah, I agree that it sucks that I don't have the reassurance for the people that don't know me.

Cheating in any manner is totally contradictory to WHY I play this game.  I'm bored if I'm not challenged.  I will play around with players that aren't as good as me for a little while, but if there is nobody at, or near my level, or giving me a significant challenge, I will get bored and disconnect.  Winning by any means necessary is boring to me.  That's why I choose not to run quad (I feel it is counterintuitive to making me better), or get the BFG, like on DM4, and focus on collecting as many cells/shots as I can (hyperblaster, etc.).

I'm very content with my setup right now, and because of that, I'm hesitant to try to switch to another client, etc.  I have heard that aprq2 gets along better with AC, and I've considered using it just so I can use AC.  I'm unsure if my settings, and the "feel" of the game will be identical to R1Q2 though.  And really, I personally have no reasons to switch, other than to appease crybabies like WD and others who accuse with a closed mind ("no, I will NOT watch your demo", etc.).  If I didn't care at all, I wouldn't have come here and made this message.  Maybe I will eventually switch to aprq2; I just hate to do it just to quiet the vocal minority.

lots of anger

I have no desire OR obligation to prove anything to YOU.  People with attitudes likes yours, and a seeming inability to have a civil discussion are the least of my concerns.  While I do spawn kill, and I will use the BFG (sparingly), I try harder than most, in my opinion, to keep the cheap play to a minimum.

I have a history of being respectful in the game, and I have NO history (other than mostly novice player accusations) of using ANY short of cheats.  And I have been playing this game for  LONG time... 12 years now, I believe.

I aliased originally because I was just going to spectate, then I decided to play.  The reason I removed the alias, was to explain why this random "Huppleton" person was doing so well.  I've always been one of the top 2 or 3 FFA players on the servers, and I think most everybody knows this.  FFA is my "mod" of preference for a number of reasons.

You are SOOOOO angry, when I have done nothing wrong.  I am not cheating in any way, shape, or form, yet you're coming down on me like I raped your mother or something (is she hot, btw? =P).  I'm sorry I'm not intimately familiar with your "Tycho" nickname.

I see one download of my demos so far, were you the one?  You keep insisting that demos don't mean anything, or something along those lines.  You're dismissing what has historically (on these forums anyway) been a very highly touted measure of whether or not someone is hacking (wallhacks, bots, etc.).

The ironic thing is that the 2 people, or the majority of the ones accusing me of cheating, are the least likely to actually download these demos.  I wonder if they're even part of this community, as in active members of the forums, etc.

Two people (at least) in the last 24 hours are adamant that I am cheating.  One is Mudkip (who I think might be Razer) and the other is Tycho.  For one, I think if you're going to go overboard with accusations, you shouldn't be allowed to alias.  So I would like to know who these 2 people actually are, if that's ok.  I've attached 2 demos of me as "proof" that I bot/wall/etc., apparently.  I'd like to use AC to prove I don't hack (because I feel better when I see others using it, tbh), but I get the occasional crash with AC + R1Q2 (which I made a thread about, found HERE), so I have opted not to use it, hoping my 10? years on these servers, and the reputation myself and my clan have, were good enough for those to vouch for my legitimacy.

Attached are 2 demos of FFA DM, the first on DM1, and the 2nd on DM2.  DM2 is probably more "bot-like", if you can call it that.

Anyway, please download these demos, analyze them, and let me know if you think there is "proof" that I cheat.  My intentions are to have a thread to reference in the future that I do not.  I'd like to hear some different opinions.

I was having freezes, or really "crashes" of R1Q2 until recently.  I disabled Anticheat, and that seemed to cure the problem.  Not sure if you're running AC or not.

Man, very impressive play by zorre.  It's obvious he stays calm/cool in just about every situation.  Very very smooth/accurate mouse movements too.
