Quote:I believe that shooting thru pickups is *cheating* if there exists at least one player that does not use this modification.
i already explained that, (read license terms i posted earlier), it's changing the gameplay, taking an unfair advantage = cheating
Quote:I wouldn't consider this cheating but a bug which causes a huge disadvantage
"You" simply can't call people cheaters, which are not affected by this bug. They don't take an unfair advantage. The game is for some players not how it is supposed to be, and gives them an unfair disadvantage.
Or all players with 0 hitdrops must be banned !
And then, the player with 30 percent hitdrop must be banned too, because his oppenent had 50 percent hitdrop ...
Quote:this bug does not depends on ping, ability, agility or skill, so it cannot be compensated with that, but with a source code modification.
As example, it starts on setting your FPS (v-sync OFF > maxfps) which can make a difference up to 50 percent hitdrop or more, to others which use standard settings.
That doesn't need any change on the source. It's a setting already available in the client, like mousespeed, just with the most possible horrible consequences if the setting is wrong.
So it's similar to change mouse speed. Just with a big BUG behind if done wrong, (and in that case, most worse way to play, not changing the original setting > vsync ON)
Fixed servers can be excluded too, because they don't make differences between the players. They are actually the only fair servers existing. They distribute server sided to ALL player the same, no unhits.
Quote:If there is already the solution, distribute it officially so everyone can play at (in theory) the same conditions as soon as anyone install this game, please.
Yes, any news about that PLEASE ?
additionally we miss 64 bit clients, with actual redistributions for all operating systems, this i can suggest you need to compile yourself for your operating system individually.
