I havnt been able to play much of late and my gaming is during early evening and not late Uk time as I like to sleep for another days work!
That aside I cant really see what the issue is apart from the continued baiting and insult throwing on the Shoutbox . Its a very small minority but surely they can be removed from the Box and then the servers by Admin , Maybe just ignore them or have Admin programe a block function into the game chat that allows players to block words communicated  by selected others from a list > Cant be too hard to do?
Anyway peace and Love And PIPELINE is the Only Map to PLay on Heartbreak Ridge , No map changes , No whining , It is what is is .

Everyone will always cry about Map changing , and Shoutbox is best avoided, far too many attention seekers prodding for a confrontation , nothing better to do with their lives quite obviously .
Alkos take some time out , have a holiday and come back with Grandma pal  :up:

General Chat / Re: Convert Shotguns from 285 to 25Assist
« on: Friday, May 31, 2024, 12:43:06 PM »
Am I hallucinating or is there a shotgun mod floating around for 2.5 Assist?. I seem to recall seeing a few servers running it and perhaps even playing it here and there over the years but I can't say for certain. I'm also not sure if there is a difference between the mod and 2.8.5, but figured I'd throw that out there.

Shotguns are available in the Pool Day map.

I haven't worked on the tracker in some time due to needing a break but in response to this incident a few ideas popped into my mind to ease myself back into some work before I begin tackling some overdue plans.
I feel like this sort of thing is relatively uncommon, but on the odd chance suspicion arises in the future I've added a few tools that will hopefully help spot this sort of thing (at least to the point it can be brought to a Assist administrators attention for a proper investigation).

Searching for a name will now consider previous display names. The current name will be displayed along with an asterisk which when hovered will display a tooltip with the matching alias.


If a players name history is longer than 10 names, you'll be able to load the entire (tracked) history in increments of 10.


Finally, you're able to filter match history by matches played with another player. In this example, matches with both myself and Mr_Gunman-GB are being displayed rather than just my personal match history.


Great Work !

All well and good . I guess you can all pat yourselves on the back although when I  made this video and it was posted and suggested he was cheating I was pretty met with a Brick wall from most people keen to say he was clean and his game play suggested nothing untoward he was a Pro ( Whatever that really means( Won tournaments etc etc etc LoL !
 He clearly was tracking people across maps and scoring highly on a regular basis with very little deaths . A few other players supported my feelings and thankfully Bart has investigated more deeply and my feelings were proven to be correct rather than being labelled a continuous Cheat caller . Cheers

The Age old Pro using sneakey measures ... what a surprise ...
Of course the other account that played with him and claimed he went to a tournament was probably aslo a stooge account .
Cant Say I didnt warn you !  two weeks is a little weak dont you think? Of course if he was using a Laptop with a ghost account ,, What else was he doing .....

I'll just reiterate what teddy said. It'd be either killing people from spawn, or inhumane snapping to targets. Outside of that, it's incredibly difficult to tell between the best players and cheaters. The sad reality is that this game is over 20 years old on a 3 generation old Unreal Engine. It's not like cheat detection for Unreal 2 is still ongoing.
The biggest cheat deterrent this game has is the fact that committing resources to cheating in such an old game doesn't really make much sense. There's no clout in it.

So Its Open Season then ....

Nah man, a "Nice Mouse" is the Logitech G Pro Superlight. A "Nice Mouse" is the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. This mouse just sounds like it's straight up cheating and you can absolutely ban for that. We've banned macro (auto fire with one click) before and we can certainly do it again. The trick is being able to detect it.

I get the point that the anti-cheat isn't all encompassing, and it's absolutely not. We couldn't even hope to get the type of detection modern FPS games get, and even those aren't absolute. The one big benefit we have is server admins being able to ban obvious cheaters. The obvious downside is good players getting banned by bad server admins but you can't win every battle here.

So what constitutes an obvious cheater ?

With all do respect, I think you need a better sound card / headphones then.

SoundBlaster Z Series with Sennheiser Wired Headphones .

I assume your guys were playing a while before you actually started recording so he had some what of a history on your game play and how you would react to certain situations. In that round your teammate was clearly heard to the right of you as I listened to the video. That was clear even without watching the SAI. If I heard it then most likely he heard it as he came around the left side. Typically players tend to stick close together as they have a "feeling of safety" that someone else is covering there back. He can deduce that you were probably close by. Then he went all the way back to his side got the OBJ and came all the way back without even a shot at him so by deductive reasoning he can infer that you were somewhere back at your spawn area. From the sound available from your viewpoint he went to various places and finally found you in one of the most common places on that side peps go to hide. Again, simple connecting the dots. Noting special about it. He just decided that if you were there he was going to make it a jump shot.

For what it is worth it was kind of cruel how it ended but again that is the game.

As for rapid firing binds and / or hardware rapid fire mouse hardware: I would prefer peps play using what they are given physically rather than rely on these things but I leave it up to Assist admins to determine what is allowed and not allowed.

I think youve read far more into this argument than I have !! LooL
I was playing alone , No wingman .
You can hear he didnt go round searching the map , that was my point . the video maybe makes the sound less close but I know the turn of events .
Ill leave it there .
