Hey, I just noticed... he's now spamming with his message telling him not to spam I wonder what Netcoms TOS is like?

We hate cheats in tribes more than anyone.

Therefore Scott Youngblood (Tribes John Carmack) is in constant communication with the major indy sites for bugs (ie [EM]Brit ) and every possible cheat found so far has been removed in a small patch released weeks at the most after the cheat was discovered.

Therefore there are no big cheats for tribes.

Because of the way tribes works aim bots are imopssible to do (well really really really impractical but I'm sure some geek somewhere can do it)

So soz no cheaters in tribes (apart from ski-ing and nifty scripting of course but lets not ignite that touch paper)

Just change teams and shoot up thier stuff. Had one muppet one time claiming he was a double agent for the other team, and got a bit upset when he everyone started telling him to **** off.

ButcherOfNog

speaking of tribes, what about this mortar aiming help thing? heard about this at the weekend so is this commonly used?

tHE vAGGABOND

I presume its the mortar HUD you speak of.

I dont like it but some people do, best advice is to just go out and try it.

http://www.planet-tribes.com/sitecore/reviews/hrf.htm

reviews all available HUD's and gives you a download URL for each of them too.

Give myself or shinji a shout on #tribes.ie and we'll give you a hand (if needed) in installing and setting it up.

(which is easy enuf anyway)

The one I saw which isn't listed there, was an lead in aim.

You know the way you get 2 crosshairs in a combat plane, one facing forwards and the other pointing to where to shoot to hit the selected target. It was like that. You selected your target from the map and the crosshair did the rest. There was also a Mortor lock as well, which automatically pulled your crosshair onto a painted/selected target by pressing a button.

thats an aimbot vagga its not nice and i would'nt use it. anyways i hate heavys, unless i'm on point blank defense.

Shinji

It's not an aimbot really, it's a different crosshair more than anything else.

I think altered HUDs are perfectly acceptable in Tribes, like the SnipeHUD which gives you a little sniper zoomed-in window and crosshair in the bottom right. It's not a cheat - it's all done with CS scripts - it's just using the technology available to you.

Actually it is a cheat. Adenfreak had a big argument about this (She said it wasn't cheating if you could program a script to autoaim), as unlike Quake the clever lads at Dynamix did most of the processing client side (which is a big no no). So if your using the argument that you can do it with scripts, you can do oodles of things with scripts in tribes, a heck of a lot more then you could in Quake.

tHE vAGGABOND

If it is possible I have'ent seen much Hobbes.

Surely if the game supports scripting, then if you can script it then do it.

Argue all you want, tribes does not support aim bots,

BTW use the said HUD, It does not work properly, it was all theory and no practice.

Cowboy gave it a shot I herd, and it was un relyable, ie did not work proper

ROFL

shinji, so what your saying is, clear walls, hacked backs, auto aiming, etc etc etc, isn't cheating because I used the technology available to make them? I find that a bit confusing.

heres my opinion about cheating, If its something that you add to your quake that helps you, and isn't readily available to all players when they install the game, it's a cheat.

Perhaps you think otherwise, but thats how I view it.

Also, im glad you guys get a kick out of my site being cancled and all , there is no need to go into netcoms TOS, , Dont plan on hearing too much more about my site.. .

Vagga, if you can aim manually it is possible to have an aim bot. I've seen an auto-mortor lock, while not an aimbot it is detecting the paint triangle and locking your view into position.

As I said, most stuff in Tribes is done client side, which is why it is possible to do a heck of a lot more which would be regarded as cheating.

It is possible to write a script which will display everything on the map (enemy locations and objects). Would this be classed as cheating?

Actaully one fun kind of cheating is if your running the server in edit mode, you can edit the map real time. So you can pick people up and smack them against walls while they are playing or move buildings around. While some of it would be dossing, it might make for intresting games if there was a impatial ref causing problems for the players.
