Forum

I'm tempted to unban right now. Here's why:

- Most hackers that get caught by our system won't bother to appeal because they know they're guilty so they'll move to 2.8.5 and never set foot on this forum.
- This guy came here with a consistent story that has stood up to all of our questions.
- This guy has no other accounts or computers and has not shown suspicious behavior. He does have 2 IP's but one is Verizon Wireless and the other is Comcast, likely mobile phone and home internet.
- This guy has been patient over 4 days since posting here, asking nicely and never flaming.
- Assist copies the whole pre-installed 2.5 folder, it is possible that his story of downloading a 2.5 torrent is legit. The day this guy started playing, he was banned, it's not like he was playing for a month and then all of the sudden got banned.
- He only had possession of the hacks which is detected even if you use it properly. There's no log saying that he got kicked for using the hacks, he just had them in the System folder.

Unless Jonny or the other admins say no, I think this guy should be unbanned and put on the watch list.

We'll have to see what Jonny says about Alien files.

You're misunderstanding. The mutate mod will forceclass for you automatically to all the players. There's a weapon chooser, where players can choose their own weapons, for 2.5 but it's not included in Assist.

To the Assist team: Without having thought this through, would it be a big deal to completely remove the option to play with an existing installation from Assist and start with a fresh install downloaded through Assist? That way we could avoid claims like these.
I'm aware that zero tolerance is zero tolerance but I did find this a tough decision.

Cheers

I think that would be a good move considering most 2.5 veterans that kept 2.5 installed on their computer have already migrated to Assist. I've found that people who download 2.5 outside of Assist often end up with multiple 2.5 installations which just clutters the hard drive and makes it somewhat confusing for the user since the installer creates ArmyOps shortcuts on the desktop. Aren't there multiple SourceForge mirrors so if someone has an issue downloading from one, they could choose another? I remember that being an option a while back.

bartek, even if that system save had your honor in it, we couldn't take it as proof. I mean, it's just text.

Just building on stuff I already know It's the GD stuff that PostQuote uses for the signatures. I also added another query for the "Online Users" to stick it in a row in another table that will store about 300 values to generate this graph. Should be quite a bit more accurate than the BattleTracker one.

Well if you have enough RAM, you can try RAMDisk and run your programs from memory instead of your SSD which will make them even faster. But this is all off topic.
