A reminder

2006-01-18 22:02 by term

We have issued our first warning for using scripts and it's probably time for a reminder of our rules:

Scripting:
EQL does not allow any movement scripting, such as kfjump or selfbuilt rocketjumping.

Clients allowed:
fuhQuake 0.3x (eQuake package) with -ruleset smackdown -norjscripts
mQWCL 0.96+ with -noscripts
ezQuake with -ruleset smackdown -noscripts

Warnings and disqualification:
To retain order in the league and prevent clans from cheating effectively we may issue warnings to teams if they misbehave in some way. When a team has received two warnings they will get disqualified from the league.

This means that the latest ezQuake, at the moment version 1318 is not allowed since it has no security module.

Clans should check this with f_version, validate_clients and f_ruleset before the game starts.

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of another boy.

i think eql should specify a ez/fuhquake version

This is just pathetic, that it's not allowed to play with 1318, since it's the latest official stable versios, who gives a damn about security module? :)

i give a damn about security module... i mean if you dont have it you can change every single mdl and get away with it, such in the old days when ppl had spike skins and mega/ra/ya sounds that could be heard all the way to china and so forth...
there would be no limit of the cheating.

most ppl using ezq use 1318 and i don't really care, but i can imagine some ppl take qw so serious that they will do care

anyway, we are waiting for that security module several months now :E

well zaq, if it helps one to feel better when he can beat another clan using cheats then let him, who cares anyway? sooner or later the truth will come to light anyway :) 99% current qw scene doesn't cheat

Yeah if someone wants to cheat at QW, let him. It's so pathetic you can hardly judge it :/

Is the only thing different between ezquake 1318 and the previous version with sec. module the exe file? Could I have both versions on there with renamed exe files?

#13 2006-01-19 12:10 by phrenic

let's ban crosshairs, it doesn't got a security module ;P

Men Frenik you lizard, stop whining.

#15 2006-01-19 16:20 by babi

why release a client without the security module?

anyway, the only way to make sure QW stays as clean as possible is to allow only the latest version that DOES have the security module. Deliver warnings/disqualifications or whatever for players found using clients unallowed. Simple as that.

Yeah who cares about cheating. It's not like it's a game where people try and have fun, and don't want their fun ruined. Nor is it a game where people want to see who is the best competively, something cheats also negate.

Yeah nobody cares about cheating at all!!1

So, latest allowed ezQuake is 1144. There hasn't been a new security file for 9 months. Why?

Gaz: I use newer version for speccing and 1144 for playing. Main differences in 1144:

- Script checking is dumb. Not hard to find workarounds tho.

- The different cl_gameclock value (also its a little buggy on overtime).

- If you use newhud, some hud elements are missing, but only stuff you would want as spectator.


I think you should ban only the movement scripts that are blocked by the clients. Other stuff is hard to check for and doesn't give that significant advantage anyway.
