Ok, here's the story:

I was playing ra2 earlier and it said I was botting. 

Kinda weird, my mouse started tweaking out like it sometimes does, only worse...
I ended up trying to RJ, and "killed self". I ended up smacking the mouse against the table, and it was fine.

Why would the server think I'm botting if my mouse is fuxx0r'd   


Just curious...

There is a definitive answer; but, here is my comment in the meantime..

I know KanasasNet had a server-side anti-cheat which would instantly kick you if you used a rocket jump script, such as the one below.  Perhaps RA2 includes this.

Code: [Select]

bind "MOUSE3" +rj
alias +rj "rj1;rj2"
alias rj1 "set rj_cl_pitchspeed $cl_pitchspeed;set cl_pitchspeed 100000;wait;+lookdown;wait;-lookdown;set cl_pitchspeed $rj_cl_pitchspeed"
alias rj2 "set rj_hand $hand;hand 2;+moveup;+attack"
alias -rj "-attack;-moveup;set hand $rj_hand;centerview"

Oh, no no =]
I know what you are talking about. Where the server kicks you if "cl_pitchspeed" is changed. This isn't it though. (I don't use an rj script either way.)

It think it was Q2Admin.
The message "The server thinks you are a bot, If you are not a bot you can reconnect." was also flashing in the middle of my screen. 


Anyways,

Strange, yes. Important, no.
 
Thanks

Take it as a compliment:)

The most common and sophisticated server side software... thought you were a bot.

[console]

It think it was Q2Admin.
The message "The server thinks you are a bot, If you are not a bot you can reconnect." was also flashing in the middle of my screen. 

Weird.  I'd never heard of that message before.  Turns out it's part of the ra2 game binary...  I found these strings inside the ra2 game:

  Connected with ZBOT
  %s IS A ZBOT %d
  are a bot. If you aren't,
  you may wish to reconnect

Funky.  We don't appear to have the source code for ra2, so I'm not sure what factors it's looking for that would trigger this message.

Weird.  I'd never heard of that message before.  Turns out it's part of the ra2 game binary...  I found these strings inside the ra2 game:

"We're doing this because we don't trust you."

Think that's what Hal's RA2 would say...

You would connect, then reconnect right away and it would echo that statement.
