Is turning off rain and fog considered a hack too?? I know many that have done this due to issues with their video cards dropping fps to low. It is a simple command to do. There is no complex code or bind that has to be done to accomplish it. The way I see it it is part of the game. Otherwise that would be a dead command.

I have a story regarding that. I don't remember the exact command, but mine was implemented for whatever reason at the moment I did it (I forgot). So I never realized there was rain on the map Donner before somebody mentioned it to me

When I said it should be considered cheating, I meant editing wavs not the stopsound command.

i have all my sounds edited...and i still suck...i also use headphones so i can get the stero affect but most of my sound editing is to make it cooler...the fact that some are louder...is coincidental...only my ladder sound is unually loud...i can hear from across half the map KLANG KLANG KLANG....someone is coming up the ladder....i turn around, shoot at them...draw an outline of them on the wall behind them...then they sneeze and kill me...so yes my sounds are louder...yes i know where you are...i still cant aim...

Where does one distinguish an acceptable adjustment to a non-acceptable one? The line is so unclear to me, but I am supposing it is clearly visible to "anti-scriptors."

If editing sounds to make them easier to hear, or more distinct is cheating, Then you shouldn't be able to change your crosshairs to something easier to see. Like Chen said.. where do you draw the line, if your an honest person and feel you have an unfair advantage over fellow players because of all your scripting and editing then take it upon yourself to play more naturally. So do peoples skills get better? or do their scripts.....

Shouldn't editing sounds that way be considered cheating?

All this talk about stop sound? There is no way that stop sound is cheating. I have been using it forever and it makes the game alot better. However, as for editiing sounds, in 3.1 my brother showed me all kinds of different mods. Sound, player, and flag mods. There look cool and ad alittle variety to the game. My brother plays in cal, and the rules state no mods of any kind are aloud during a match. SO the question is, is editing or adding sound mods Hacking?

good to see you posting dub! i think that adding sounds to make the game more enjoyable is completely acceptable...i have added more realistic gun sounds, and i dont consider that cheating....now if i made it so i could only the enemys footsteps louder or something i think that is a little questionable....but like someone said, there is no way to find out who is using editing as a way to cheat.

It has crossed my mind several times whether I'm cheating or not the first time I edited sounds - like changing the grenade_hit sound from a *tinktinktink* sound to a *THUDTHUDTHUD* sound. I know that grenade landed right there but my teammate might not have.

I still haven't used stopsound once. I dunno, maybe I will now (seeing how much one can benefit), but before it was a fear of the matter of crossing the line between enjoying the ambience of the game as opposed to obsessing over small sounds and constantly scanning for any noise. Hmm...

And use headphones! I cannot stress this enough, you must have them! Try it once and you'll be damned if you can ever play without them again.
