Considering shutting down master server...

Well, today I've seen the biggest display of immaturity I've ever seen. People running around, connecting to servers as soon as they saw someone else connect, crashing other clients, banning them, etc.

If this is what it has come to, we'll just shut down the master server. People only seem to want to abuse the service we're graciously providing for free, and fuck it up for everyone else.

If that's the case, if that's what some of you guys really want, fine, we'll just shut down the service since it's basically unusable to anyone as is.

Hey SleepwalkR, are you sure you didnt put the Sauerbraten one back on as well? ;-)

Seems my server is being registered on the master server.. and I can update my server list.

If I had to make a guess I\\\\\\\'d say it\\\\\\\'s coming from Sven Co-op. Probably a coder within the team. This is only a guess though, but I have a tendency of not being wrong.

On another note, I really like Sauerbraten and have been playing with the editor. Hopefully I\\\\\\\'ll have a map to show off here in a month or so.

#63: cheaters

by Jsloan10 on 09/21/2006 22:57

Tell me how to cheat cause I suck badly, no really I cant frag for crap.

An extensive websearch for cheats only came up with one really horrible aimbot that actually made it harder to aim, jittered like a bugger and forced the aim away from the target, meanwhile I see people taking multiple hits in instagib and keep going, insane gun damage and firing rates, impossible running speed ect,ect.

To do away with cheaters forever I suggest doing a Jay and Silent Bob and going to each cheaters house and kicking the living crap out of each and every one, right in front of their pathetic crack whore mothers. :) (whadda you mean unreasonable??, they did it in the movie so it must be possible)LOL

Odd. I don't think you are right there though. Anyways, I removed all traces of it now, so now it cannot work anymore.

The \\\"Crash Hack\\\" is caused by sending many hit packets to the server, with a negative damage being dealt. Originally, the hack was meant to give all other players health. The hack worked fine in previous versions of Sauer. But in the newest Sauer release, players crash instead of gaining health.

Hopefully that helps pinpoint the problem. ;)

Its you who was crashing clients then? You find it fucking funny? I havent had a decent game of Sauerbraten for days, and its all because of you and your hacks..

Why do some people have to be so malicious..

I only used the hack a few times, about a week and a half ago. If you can't find a decent game, it's not because of me. I haven't used the hack since then, nor do I plan to use it again. For those people who were playing a week and a half ago, and were affected by my hacking (which only lasted for about a half hour), I apologize. If you have had problems in the game since that time, I had nothing to do with it.

And in response to eihrul's comment, you are right. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. I apologize. But the recent "wave" of hacking is not because of me. I admit I contributed to the problem, but I am most certainly not the underlying cause.

If it is any consolation, I have recently modified the hack to target only a single player, and I have already used it once to crash a player who was hacking (who was also the master). I suppose this makes me a criminal turned vigilante, but that's better than staying a criminal. (If anyone objects to me using the crash-hack against cheaters, say so now.)

So, in conclusion, I was an asshole. A week and a half ago, at least. I just want to let people know that I haven't done anything wrong since that half-hour period, and I only told one other person how the hack worked. That one other person deffinitly isn't copying what I did, because that person actually complained about what I did on this forum (not giving names). I wish I could tell you who is causing continued problems, but I honestly don't know.

Fine. I will just do what most people do and leave the server if someone is cheating.

Jeez.
Some people are such noobs!!

I had started from basic steps in UT:GOTY. I was owned by a bot at the first level. Now I can play one level away from Godlike (Inhuman IIRC).

Some people spend ages training their skills.
Some noob comes in, who can't play, and wants to be able to play straight away. However, they are too stupid to realise that others had worked harder than them and want to play fair games!
We just want to enjoy the game, fool!

If you can't play, then start on sauer's SP mode level 1. When you finish level 6, then come and play against me!

i thought the idea of not having the netcode limit on the source was so that people could use non-cheat hacks (accesibility, neat things impossible to do with scripting, etc) in multi?

Nope, the point of not using Cube's setup is that it was a pain in the ass to support more than 2 platforms by ourselves. This way people can compile their own bins, and we don't have to worry about supporting them.

Drakas, you name it.

People don't want to earn things, they want to get it right now, and this sucks.
Come on, I started with Doom II and played it so many times until I was able to finish each level starting with just the gun! Now people who barely can hit an OK-Button join the game and wonder why they get slaughtered? Ever wondered why Michael Johnson runs 200m faster than you do 80m? No, he doesn't cheat!

Hi everyone. I\\\'m a regular player of sauerbraten because I like it\\\'s style of gameplay. I don\\\'t edit (I do gawk at others edit creations, though) and I most certaintly do not / can not make any cheat mods. some of you may recognize me from games as bonghit.

I too have been dismayed at the level of cheating. Recently I noticed there are less servers online than what I had remembered. Curious, I investigated and my search led me to this board. As I understand, the main server is shut down. Are there other servers out there I could try and play? How do I dial up another server within sauerbraten?

I apologize is my message is noobish, despite playing the game for a long time now, I never immersed myself in the technical side of it.

Thank you,
Player just wanting a fair game
