I'm not related to BI though my clan is in a "partnership" with them. You'll find KOSs2 to be even more severe towards this kind of stuff, though.

This is a similar advantage as radar hack, though a bit less extreme. It's a cheat, period.

It's deffinately making already accessable information allot more easier to access whilst in combat. It is an advantage over other players in that respect I suppose... Especially the harvester health. I mean, you can't access that info by pressing "k". That part is deffinately a little cheeky at the very least.

I would feel allot more comfortable if it didn't display the harvester health.

But pretty nice hud, and good job on making it. It must be pretty satisfying Smile

I think that's the best hud I have seen for a long time.

Before you release it, please make sure it supports all the classic maps, including glacier and their flying counter-parts.

wow, gozy.
Well, for you its a cheat, for me a little new project what everyone can use.
Hmm, but you are right. It will be useable only for my Servers, i will add this in the next days.
So i can be sure that nobody will use it on your old, oldschool servers, where everyone gets a ban for bob C4 etc. Huh

Harvester status can you only see with RR Client i guess.

Name 1. Though the bob c4 is a perfect exemple of an advantage skin, that's right.

Okay lets define skin = texture for this topic.

Everything is right when you define it as right. So it's right from now on (for this topic).

Edit: Btw a cheat is an unfair advantage. In my eyes these buildinglivebars and bright skins aren't a real unfair one.

Especially when you think about the kind of release. Everybody can use it on RenCom servers ONLY on renCom servers. It will NOT be possible to modify it, play somewhere else with it, to look up the code or the hud.ini commands of it.

Read my post again. I said they ARE an advantage but not a real unfair one.

No. That would imply that this hud-feature is a "cheat" in MY opinion but it isn't as you can read above. You would be right if I say these buildingbars are a cheat.

So I'm completly against releasing cheats to everbody.

These buildingsbars aren't a cheat in my opinion - the are a feature for rencom servers.

AND I'm for releasing this FEATURE to every Rencom user. That I'm for. This would be right.

Sorry, m8. But I still don't get it.

What is the difference between a bright skin, which you call a fair advantage ("not really unfair" = fair I assume), and lets say big head?

Bright skins help you to spot things more easy..... big head helps to hit things more easy. Bright skin user have an advantage over pure players. Big head user have and advantage over pure players.

The question is not, which one is the bigger cheat. Its like compareing shop lifting with MDK.... but still: both is a crime per definition.

That's a matter of tolerance and opinion. I make the differnce between such hardcore-cheats and that slight modifications.

PLZ I'm NOT a MMORPG player or a WOW expert but for example in WoW you can code your own macros/scripts which give you similar advantages. These players also have an advantage vs other pure players but no one calls that a cheat or unfair. It is completly normal.

Of course there are also macros or scripts or whatever which are called a cheat or unfair but the point is that they decide or make a differnece which advantage is fair and which is unfair (and is called a cheat).

Why not in renegade too?

A cheat for me is something hardcore: wallhack, aimbot, speedhack, firerate which gives an unfair and very overpowered advantage.

This buildingbars don't give you such a overpowered hardcore advantage. They don't let you aim better, do more damage or something like that.

That's my opinion - hope you got now my point of view.

Yes, I do understand your point. But it seems I'm more strict on definition here. I don't care how much advantage you gain...otherwise I would tolerate radar hax, for example. Its not really a big advantage in comparison to aimbot and co. However this little advantage of knowing that some enemy is close even If you haven't spotted him yet, can make the difference. Same as the nuke you spot a sec earlier because you have a nice pink blinking color on it (I cant even count how often I couldn't disarm a nuke by 1 sec). Or colorful explosions, bright green snipers, purple sbh's, macros to buy certain units.... or knowing which buildings are damaged without the need of "k".

Each for his own is just a very tiny advantage... almost not noticeable. All together a nice cheat package Wink

That is true, but they don't allow you to see other players stats, same as NPCs(I play WoW.).
Also, please note I STOPPED PLAYING RENEGADE!(Why you ask?It's dieing out, and there is no stopping it without creating an entirely new game.)

Yea okay but it is such very slight advantage between pressing k for 1/2 second and just looking there at the list... Wink

Maybe I give you another point: You all know the !minelimit command which is a serverside advantage for all players. Every user on this server can use this advantage feature. But no one calls that a cheat.

Here it is the same. We release this hud-feature only for rencom servers and everybody can use it on them. You just have to download it like Resurrection which gives you the advantage for seeing the harvester health when pressing k - without RR this feature works only in LAN-Mode. So if you call every small and slight advantage a cheat - you must also RR a cheat.

So talked a lot about the buildingbars in our hud. I never talked about these skins. I personally hate these "advantage-skins" the look crap and fu** up the graphics and in my opinion they are much closer to the be-a-cheat-border than these b-bars... but the ccr-anticheat systems accept them as legal.

Was waiting for the minelimit command argument and the bind key (end) that comes with scripts. We actually discussed that very long and carefully and agreed on allowing it to compensate the wall dodging to detonate proxy which became a common tactic.
