So I don't think editing these sounds is a big help |
I get accused of wallhacking all the time because I can hear people coming a mile away.Cheating no simply a modified .wav don't like it boohoo cry me a river |
alright *crys a river*
*stops crying*
anyways i tried it out today and found that it really helps...i wouldnt consider it hacking on the basis that i watch tv when i play any mod...any game so i have enough a distraction with or without the ambient sounds _________________ [img]http://users.tvr-guild.org/speaker/speakersays.php[/img]

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. _________________

those are fun
but aside from all that all i have to say is that i personally dont consider it cheating for the same reasons that brn said if they didnt want ppl to be able to do that to make a game more enjoyable(for whatever reason) _________________ [img]http://users.tvr-guild.org/speaker/speakersays.php[/img]

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 _________________ PJ --- ancient IDIOT with a rusty CROWBAR....

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... _________________ You dont know who I am but you will instantly fall in love with my voice, chances are I will be the best thing you have heard your whole life, I am the voice of the angels.

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."

That's not necessarily good logic.
There are several simple commands in TFC that are banned outright because of the significance they contain. I actually can't think of any string commands that outweigh a few of the banned one-liners.
The complexity of a code does not determine the "morality" of the outcome. Stringing together commands is also obviously part of the game too. Valve had every intention of letting players customize.
I could write a long script that changed my fov constantly for a drunk effect, or I could adjust a setting which would result in a league ban.
Also, how does one discriminate between "natural" and "unnatural"? Does an "unnatural" command give a person a clear advantage? If so, which advantages are okay?
I remember many complaints about turning off water fog in well. Is it a double standard in DoD?
As for sound editing, you can get to a point where it becomes hacking in a sense, although impossible to catch. I believe a simple edit allows you to hear the prime count of an enemy nade in TFC, with a few strings attached though. I used to have my shotgun sound set as the Monty Python "Ni" yell. That was fun. Then I changed it to a sawwed-off I think. _________________

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. |
