Are client-side scripts considered cheats?

Starkiller · January 2010

I found a bunch of scripts that seem to be useful, but some seem to give me a slight advantage, and I'm not sure if they're considered cheats or not. For example, I know a script that keeps a kill count shouldn't be a cheat, but what about others that give you a warning about something or more precise sniping?

Kryand · January 2010

No. Probably none of the things you found are cheats. The game was intentionally designed to allow people to modify tons of stuff on their end.

Thanks.

speaking of client-side scripts,can someone post a lik to that one that says how much flares you have,if you are with repkit or not and what speed was you going when you grab the enemy flag? ::) ;D

...more precise sniping?

This sounds like autoaim to me, which is 100% illegal and not possible through a simple script.

No, it just said it would be less sensitive to mouse movement to get better aim. I'm not sure how useful that'd be anyway, not that I like sniping in the first place.

I'm not sure if they're all there, but the bomber crew script might help you.

WoW theres an auto missle cheat in that pack under heavy enhancements,i will uncheck it i dont want to get banned,also whoever uses that script it will be just too obvious,dam now tehsres cheats killing the game too

Starkiller · January 2010

Oh, in that case I should take down that link.

henry700 · January 2010

AH MAN!!! IT LOOKS LIEK IT CHANGED THE LOGIN SCREEN TO A PREVIOUS VERSION OF T2 OR SOMETHING AND I CANT LOGIN!!! ILL TRY TO REINSTALL TRIBESNEXT IF IT DONT ORKS IMA REINSTALL T2 OK? omg...

THANK GOD THAT REAPLYING THE PATCH WORKED,BUT I THINK IT OVERWRITED TEH SCRIPTS :-( IM JUST LOOKING FOR A FLAG SCRIPT I SEE PPL WITH THEM EVERYTIME AND I CANT GET IT :'(

YAY I DINT LOST SCRIPTS IT HAS EVEN AN SCRIPT MENU!!! YEEEHAAA!!! ;D

Dude put the link back but contact the mods so they can block the vl2 file that contains the auto-missle fire cheat so we can install all these scripts(we lose loadouts and need to reaply ttribesnext patch but it works) without any cheaters! :-)

Starkiller · January 2010

Wow, quadruple post. :P
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a forum or something I should go to to report this, or do I just PM Thyth or what?

Thyth · January 2010

There's a cute little "Report to moderator" button which pokes the moderation team with emails. Unfortunately, we don't have a rule against vapid stupidity. Maybe we should.

OK, here's the link, do whatever you're gonna do.

The automissile script does nothing more than launch a missile after you get the lock tone and not before. Ooooh scary. Here's a scary one that makes sniping more accurate too:

Honestly I never thought the netcode fix helped with sniping... or anything but CG for that matter. The skipping movement is just too much of a drawback for any other weapon.

henry700 · February 2010

-_-

dude auto-missle can completely change the game,when you lock and you are going to fire and it unlocks,it was fair,but when a missle auto-fires,it aint fair for the enemy bomber pilot/shrike driver/tank driver/flag capper.

Blakhart · February 2010

no

flares arent fair

if a guy takes enough time to get a tone he should get a kill

Flares are sweet. I love being tailgunner, which is about all I'm good at.

Are client-side scripts considered cheats?
