Re: Glitching and Exploiting

As far as it goes, FinalxDeath since you owned up to it here consider this just a warning.  That said, your name keeps showing up attached to quite a few exploits, so if we keep hearing you causing trouble we will take measures against you.  As "amusing" as you may find your actions, disrupting or destroying this game (which, I should remind everyone, we put over a year of our lives into making for free for you) is never acceptable.  Please ensure that we stop seeing your name appear in relation to any exploits or bugs.


Zenith, you on the other hand are much closer than finalxdeath.  You deliberately held up a game on Endor whilst your entire team couldn't spawn and the map couldn't change.  Your actions were singularly selfish and deliberately griefing towards everyone else in the game.  We asked you, then told you, then shouted at you to suicide due to the map-ending bug and you simply ignored everyone else on the server so that you could have your petty attention-seeking minute in the sun.  This will be the only warning, do not disrupt the games and damage our mod.


As I said above, we invested a massive amount of time into building this without charge or benefit.  We aren't paid for this work, we do it out of kindness and generosity alone.  But since we can only do this on our spare time, aren't being paid, and don't have most of the tools needed to troubleshoot everything it means we can't find nor fix every problem we encounter.  Just because you may find something in the game that is wrong does not give you the right to exploit it.  We have to maintain a certain amount of trust that our community will behave properly.  We've provided a great work for all of you at no cost, the least you can do is show us and it some respect and not try to break things.

Re: Glitching and Exploiting

For the other questions, no landing on top of the Imp outpost is not an exploit at this time.  Indeed, you'll find that just doing that won't be enough to win you that flag anymore either though, so that's less of a concern.

We'd rather you don't march the AT-ST on top of buildings just because of how silly it looks and the possible CPU collision-calculating lag it could generate

Re: Glitching and Exploiting

Actually Woodrow, I didn't realise my team was dead until near enough my death. Deliberately holding up the game? No, I think you misread the situation on that count, I was far too distracted by all the Rebels trying to kill me to even pay attention to the chat. If I'd been intending to hold up the game then I wouldn't have been shooting at people, I'd have been hiding somewhere, so please, before you accuse me of "griefing", I suggest you get your facts straight.

I won't be falsely accused of something that I didn't do, and most certainly did not intend to do, if there was any delay it certainly wasn't intentional, so please don't ruin my name on both these boards and the servers simply because of a misunderstanding, thank you very much. I respect what you've done to put this mod together, but I'm not going to sit here and have you call me out on what was, for all intensive purposes, a mistake.

And Oddball, I wasn't even referring to you, it was a generalisation, so don't get a bee in your bonnet about nothing. I'd also like to point out, that I was not trashing the mod or anyone here, so there's no need to tell me how awesome both mod and devs are, I've been playing it for a while and know this already.

Re: Glitching and Exploiting

Well personnaly I have to say I once got a unfair advantage due to a glitch I didnt know existed on 1 community game. Saw the enemy in advance, didnt kill him while in the static but heck, felt like a bad kill, like I didnt get that warm fuzzy feeling inside - like when you wet your pants, except without the shunning from classmates soon after.
But ya ive dealt with glitchers often in certain games... I hope this mod doesnt turn into a smoldering reck like Soldier Front*..

*For those who dont know, Soldier Front is a game with massive hacking, gliching and such.

Re: Glitching and Exploiting

There was no reason to have been hiding so far up in the tree village to begin with, unless you knew that it would intentionally hold up the game until you were killed.  On top of that no one was firing at you for a good 10 minutes so it wasn't as if you had anything else to do other than watch the chatlog.

But really, do you honestly want to argue with us over it?
