I think the only way you can change something to look like that and play online is by hacking it in some way. :Q

(Lame cheating)

nope, no hacking - just changed scenery files...

btw could u ppl say what gun are u using? :)

If you changed scenery files you can't play online. And i am using all the guns.

cooz
September 20, 2004, 4:45 pm
dont get it? it helps player who's using it, and if everybody will, then it helps all of them...
and on the end of this story there won't be any campers anymore.

Don't you get it? You can't play online with modded scenery if you have not somehow manipulated the game. (In other words. Hacked.)

What i get when i edited one single scenery file.

cooz
September 20, 2004, 5:17 pm
yes, i modified it in one special way, but i assure u:
i used only M$ windows xp and adobe photoshop cs to edit those files, no: hex editors, disassemblers, etc!

Hahahahahah, we're not accusing you of using hex editors, you just can't play with different scenery.

I know exactly how he did it.. No real "hacking". Then again, it's bypassing one of Michal's routines..

Back in 1.0.5b you could easily play with modified scenery and nobody complained.. (afair). Now that it's not directly possible, it's cheating?

(Anyone who knows how to do it, don't mention anything about it.)

Edit: There even was an option to disable ALL sceneries in Soldat. Michal removed it after 1.0.5b

cooz
September 20, 2004, 5:30 pm
he was accusing me of hacking; what i have to do to convince U that it's possible, record fraps movie?...

edit:
just like with wallhacking but little easier, maybe MM should add checksums to scenery filles too in next version, becouse now it's too weak protection...

but till then i'll use it ;p

ok, so mod will be never released; go, go, camping bastared...

ohh, one more thing BoostA: aren't U using changed granades and other little weapon color things, it isn't protected by MM, but i think it's also not fo fair, am i right?

I meant that modifying files that you can't modify without some little "tweaking" shouldn't be modified. And half of your post doesn't make much sense anyways.

cooz
September 20, 2004, 8:05 pm
>Does that include animations and maps?

i didn't play with animations (yet ;)
and mas are already locked - not in perfect way, but it works in most situations ;>

>BTW, using this mod is cheating, period.
btw usind red nades, beret with big green dot in front of it, yellow spas ammo, etc is also cheating - is it?

>I meant that modifying files that you can't modify without some little "tweaking" shouldn't be modified.
but u agree that making nades bloody red makes playing easier? if yes it should be locked by Micha#322; too.

>And half of your post doesn't make much sense anyways.
in my weird polish way it does, shame on me ;p

Deleted User
September 20, 2004, 8:51 pm
No it shouldn't be locked as it doesn't give such a critical advantage like your little mod here does. And and making nades red gives no real advantage if you ask me.

And by the way. If modding possibility was taken out, i would most propably quit soldat.

This mod is lame if not cheating.... MM! Put more security in ! plz !

cooz
September 20, 2004, 9:03 pm
(heh, hardys jest...)
another example and if u tell me that this thing which i'm going to tell now don't give real advantage i'm quiting this discussion:
when u add big dot in front of beret - it's almost as usefull as wireframe mod, isn't it?

Alamo
September 20, 2004, 10:10 pm
I don't know but wouldn't that bust the file size and make it impossible to play?

cooz
September 20, 2004, 10:25 pm
where do U live? even on some movies recorded and released on This forum U can find such kind of modification...

>MM! Put more security in ! plz !
He already did, but just like Boosta said: it can be bypassed...

I recently created a mod where all soldat players have large, brightly coloured dots instead of heads, and they carry oversized flags with the team colour on it.

It's real funky looking and gives me an unfair advantage in gameplay, but I do not use it myself. Takes away from the realism.

cooz
September 20, 2004, 11:04 pm
Elephant Hunter, you cheater, hacker, how U could make such unfair mod?!!?! delete it, erase all copys!! aaa,

j/k ;)

September 20, 2004, 11:14 pm
I made a little batch file that set all scenery files to full transparency... but I don't use it since I believe this can be considered as cheating, plus it doesn't look nice anymore without the sceneries...
Anyway I agree with them you shouldn't post your "mod", neither give bad ideas to the new comers.

cooz
September 20, 2004, 11:29 pm
yes, is't little less playable...
and about your batch program, u have to operate on it a little to work with soldat and dont show any errors, right?

papasurf31
September 20, 2004, 11:38 pm
If this mod requires hacking for it to work, then it's bad. That would mean that soldat isn't meant to be played that way and changing it would be wrong. However, if this mod perfectly fits into the parameters of Soldat, then I consider it an ingenious idea that anyone should be free to use. It's the same as the sniper line, a tool that can be used to help the player boost his/her performance that should be allowed and socially accepted as it simply shows originality and thought was put into it's making.

I must say though that it would almost give an UNFAIR advantage.

bypassing not hacking.

next only beret/campers tool; my is non-campers tool.

If you read the Manual...

I think we have made a point... not allowable to Michal's standards!

>all may be modified except scenery files
oops Michal is wrong - we can modify scenery files too, but we cant release them as Free Soldat Mods.

ok, so i have question, did anybody released mod with mofified wepons on this forum, which make some kind of weps easer to see?... if not be prepared that ill do it;p besause nobody can forbid it to me. right? Michal didnt write about that any word in his manual, get my point? ull get proof that itll be almost same as this wireframe mod.

Cooz, I think you should just shut up and use it if you want me, not go on in discussion with these guys. Cuz If MM sees this, he will change the security, so I say your pretty stupid not to keep it for yourself. BTW I hate that, I love doing an Inf map without shooting [:D] That is moving from bush to bush, only stopping to let the other team pass.

cooz
September 21, 2004, 12:37 pm
>I think you should just shut up and use it if you want me
i don't want U, pervert ;p

>Cuz If MM sees this, he will change the security,
i hope he sees it, and add to next version more powerful protection, just like he should do with maps

>That is moving from bush to bush, only stopping to let the other team pass.
or shot in back other players? ;p

September 21, 2004, 12:51 pm

September 21, 2004, 1:12 pm
oh, we have here another notty beret user... so if that person dont see u, you can kill him first, but if U see him and he sees u, then u have equal chanses to die ;)

Rhombus
September 21, 2004, 2:31 pm
Just so ya know: I do NOT use barretts, NOT, you get that? the only thing is, that it takes away a dimension. If everybody knows from the start: this is a game where camping isnt possible, I wouldnt mind at all(like make a map without scenery) but when all scenery is transparent, nobody knows it and hides from you, and you get in place and throw a nade while the other guy thinks you didnt see him.

Elephant_Hunter
September 21, 2004, 2:39 pm
Rhombus : ?..., okay.

cooz : I have a sense that there are too many people to trust with this mod if it went public. People already abuse the speed hack on public servers, and lucky for me there's still bushes to hide behind. You have bragging rights you get with this, so even if you don't release it you probably share it with your immediate soldat friends.

cooz
September 21, 2004, 4:04 pm
Rhombus: in soldat you should fight not hide - u can quote me ;p

>so even if you don't release it you probably share it with your immediate soldat friends.

u can belive it or not, but i dont have any immediate soldat friends, i only KNOW few polish players, and i didnt shared it with then... when first i thought about giving this modification to public i went to polish soldat forum, but my topic was closed right away - stupid polish moderator without imagination("it's cheat bla bla..."), i couldnt even defend my arguments

ando one more:
>People already abuse the speed hack on public servers, and lucky for me there's still bushes to hide behind

U poor man, i see u (with my soul eyes) hiding behind bushes when ultimate hyper-speed hacker is coming, lucky U, lol!

>God...? Whazzat?
eee, anything special, just forget about it ;)

i have example in our campers deal:
i was thinking about it, and here and now i'm talking only about barels, boxes, etc (not bushes and grass because it's for 100% made to camp by MM)

if we have box which is also colider, i think we should hide NEXT TO is, to cover us from enemy gun fire, just like this:
[file]proper.jpg,28,,[/file]

but nooo... every sniper have to hide BEHIND our colider, not for to cover from shots, but just to kill plyers form opposite team, and not be seen:
[file]weknowthis.jpg,28,,[/file]

here is same thing but with poligon,
proper usage:
[file]proper2.jpg,28,,[/file]

and this is that we all know:
[file]weknowthis2.jpg,28,,[/file]

oh and u tell, that if u dont prone u see less than u crouch, so why the f*ck u have to prone just behind those coliders, find another sniping place... look when in action movie sniper is trying kill someone from roof, Is he hiding behind wall which is on the roof?(for sure for that to be not so easy to jump off from the bulding), NO! it's imposible because behibd wall he doesnt see his target.

and my conclusionis that, Michal should add anti-throu-wall protection which detects if end of our barrel(or middle of it, because more times sniper rifle is sticking out from colider/poligon) isnt touching colider/poligon and if detects it gun wont fire - end of wall-throu shots, and little less campers, good idea?

i didn't make a another topic just a one post, because its related to this topic disscution and i add link to idea section, couse i don't think that ppl which are looking for new ideas(or anyone else ;p) wont search them here ;p, and i think it would be done in similar way which MM make law shoting only on ground crouching/proning, if it's possible of course...

"there are no rules on mods, as of now."
Therefore you probably can release it worst thing happening is they warn you to take it away me thinks?

"I guess this is against the rules then."
You are silly? No rules thus it is against the rules O_O

I say release the mod cause it looks cool plus i have a wireframe map i was making so it would go well with it

-=Edit=-
Barrett is made to camp with ;) not to be an assault rifle
Micahl said something about why anyone would want to run up to someone and shoot them with the barrett when you could shoot them from far away.... shooting them from afar seems more fun to me too :P

/me goes and camps
