I could do it as a torrent but I would be the only one connected and you'd likely get worse speeds.

Sounds like there's different errors going on here. My recommendation was to change the line "Sourceforge" to "AAO25.com" in the settings.dat to hopefully switch data verification servers from Sourceforge (which is having problems) to here. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to recommend since you guys are doing a clean install.

Give this a shot:

Open up your Settings.dat in a good text editor (Notepad++) and change line 71 to "AAO25.com" without the quotes.

Where are you downloading Assist from?

Delete settings.dat in your Assist folder and try again. SourceForge was having some issues, that might be what's going on for you.

Support / Re: banned from shoutbox?
« on: Thursday, July 16, 2015, 18:59:13 PM »
if you want to inform players, make your message stick to the top.
It's a good point and I've thought about it but haven't tried to implement it.

You're not the only one complaining, you're also not the only one banned. Seeing that the issue is on SourceForge's end, there's not much we can do. Clogging up the shoutbox so users can't see our messages doesn't help either.

Yes, when AA is loaded, type "open mapname" in the console (~ button). For McKenna it's either MOUT_McKenna.aao or mout.aao, I can't remember which.

That is why. Too many people commenting on Assist not working when they stop bother to stop and read.

Don't use the in-game menu to navigate. Only use our program Assist to join servers or start training missions.

General Chat / Re: the server manger need 16 bit and i have 64 ??
« on: Wednesday, July 15, 2015, 16:19:05 PM »
I've run the server manager on Windows 7 and Windows 8, both 64-bit and haven't had an issue. This sounds like a more one-off problem so we would need to know the exact error that comes up.

16-bit hasn't been around since probably 15+ years ago. Maybe you're thinking x86/32-bit?

The only accounts I have are hype, bananagun, and 2+2=5. The others you just mentioned are name changes from one of those accounts. So no, I'm sorry Mr. KnowItAll - but you're wrong.
Fair enough, I didn't (and still haven't) look into it very deep.

Fast swapping is not intended in the game and actually was taken out in future versions. However, video settings...like for real, I can't even ...lmao. This is a fucking joke, every PC game has in-game video settings you can alter.
The issue is that people bind it to keys to change it on the fly to see better in the game. Using things outside their intended purpose to gain an advantage... That's the whole problem. Bugs & glitches are included in that.

But only AA is providing some advantage over other people? Get real, your mentality is ruining the game, not mine. Whining about shit like this and more than one account? Jesus.
The only way my mentality is ruining the game is if I actually banned for this stuff. I'd like to but those kinds of decisions are democratic in Assist and I try to follow the rules that we as a group set out.

Anyway, I don't use the binds for anything except maps like Urban for the most part as I don't like to be blinded when I play a game. Funny how you say shit in shoutbox the day I use it on URBAN and only that map, look it up tough guy.
The admin features in Assist don't tell me when you activate a specific bind, just that you have the bind. I still don't see how it's not an advantage.



This whole thing is pointless anyway. I'm not going to ban you for it and you're still going to do it. I'm just saying it's shitty behavior. Just because something isn't specifically banned or bannable doesn't mean it's "ok". Stopsounds, FixedFPS, Pokes and many others were in-game features that players used for unfair gains, even competitively. The whole issue I have with this is an unfair and uneven playing ground where unassuming new players that don't know all the little allowable glitches are at a significant handicap. It makes for incredibly boring gameplay and an environment where you HAVE to join the tweakers/exploiters in order to even have a chance. Maybe you don't use Gamma/Contrast/Brightness binds for an advantage... the only person that knows is you. I see the binds and comment how ridiculous it is along with the multiple accounts. Neither have a legitimate reason for being in this game. That is all.

If we're not allowed to have multiple accounts (which I have 3 and don't see why as it has no affect on anyone or anything) then my fault, I wasn't aware.
You have 6;
.neXus[banana^gun..] used on June 6th 2015
.neXus[hyPe] used on July 5th 2015
.neXus[KeviN] used on February 25th 2015
2+2=5 used on July 1st 2015
hype.ki^ used on April 16th 2015
nsd[hype] used on February 20th 2015

Sure, accounts before Assist existed are allowed. That doesn't escape the fact that there's no valid reason.


However, despite your unpopular and personal belief, using in-game binds for video settings have been used for a very long time by many people especially in the competitive community back in the day. The settings are there for players to use at their own discretion. No, it doesn't give me an unfair advantage over anyone; as you say it does. If no one else was able to do this or if it was a bug that I was abusing, then that would give me an unfair advantage
If they don't give you an advantage, why do you use them?

Alternatively, he could have just sent a PM with his opinion and we could discuss it.
I didn't remember that you had an account on here. Plus, it's better that the community knows what kinds of players are out there. Now that I know, I'll avoid playing with you in the future.

Point is it's part of the game and working as intended. Not a bug, not something no one else can do. Chill.
You need to remember that this engine is OLD. When I first started playing it, I was using some shitty CRT screens. Even with the monitor's built-in brightness maxed out, McKenna looked like Insurgent Camp. This is what those settings are for, to compensate for shitty hardware. Modern LCDs, even 8 year old LCDs don't need these adjustments. Most are pretty good out of the box and those that aren't should be adjusted on the panel itself so everything is constant. These in-game settings are not so you can make maps brighter and see things easier. You think the AA devs didn't test that? You think you know better than a paid level designer with a team of beta players?


Spanky might have been a little hard saying it's people like you who ruin this game, but I don't think it was worth making a forum post about it.
I don't feel I was overly hard on him. It's a fact. For whatever reason, this game really draws out those players that like to seek an advantage and push the limits of what's acceptable. Always trying to tweak, always blasting their ear drums to hear players across the map. It's the same old shit. Assist detects more things but it isn't a perfect system and I realize that. Personally, I feel we should ban for that and ban secondary accounts as well. But if we did, we'd basically kill the game since the majority of players share this mentality. It's always what's ruined this game and makes it difficult for new players to join in.
