    If mp_bs is on, I know you guys think it is stupid, but at least try to play like the server owners want you to play...without the use of any kind of scripting/programmable aid.

    its fun to go to mp_bs 1 servers and bunnyhop, its also fun to go to mp_bs 1 servers and get accused of scripting.



    the problem is noobs thinking scripting greatly ups skill while it does not.

    scripts don't play the game for you.. an aimbot would be a more fitting role, but not scripts.

    Wrong, the client side animation leap exploit worked every time. You could actuly do this exploit about half the time correctly without scripts. It was an exploit facilitated by scripts. It was not an exploit of scripting in its self.

    I had a small conversation with an established competative aus-ns player about scripting on ventrilo one day.

    The converstaion went somthing like this:
    ...
    aus: Thats one thing I hate about american players, their scripts.
    me: Is that a joke?
    aus: No, aus dont use scripts.
    me: Clearly.
    me: btw what button do you use to bhop?
    aus: mwheel
    me: and you find that drasticaly diffrent than a 3jump?
    aus: yes.
    me: In what way?
    aus: honestly I dont even know how the bhop script works, I have never scripted.
    me: Did you know at one point in developement the dev team was going to block mwheel with mp_bs?
    aus: that would suck.

    If someone with a good computer is "good"...

    And if someone with scripts is "good"...

    Imagine someone with a good computer and scripts.

    That is why I think scripts are blocked for EVERYONE. You can prevent scripts, you can't prevent updating technology from absolete technology. So by preventing scripts you hope that people update their technology one of these days so as to have the same settings as another, and if you win/lose it will be by skill, not by a script.

    I'd rather be killed by a person with a good computer over a person with scripts anyday. At least the good computer guy killed me using the same methods I use, which would be script free, and I can commend them for doing such an awesome job without being lazy with hitting their buttons.

    What exactly are you pointing out? How the 'aus' notices a different between a 3jump script and using mousewheel?

    Other then the fact that one can bind mousewheel to +jump straight out of thier NS options menu, the only difference I see is that mousewheel is better for Bhopping.

    Simply put, it doesnt really matter.

    I dont use scripts myself, however if you feel you want to, it doesnt make a difference,

    Id say a pistol script gives you a SLIGHT advantage over others meaning your aim doesnt jerk as much as pressing mouse1 will slightly knock your aim.

    A triple jump script is uneeded unless you have low fps, I needed it on my old pc to bunnyhop with below 30fps but with >70 fps its unneeded. (also isntit annoying having it bound to space then lerking?)

    its not really a big deal, why do people go on so much?

    If it makes no difference then surely you can play without them on mp_bs 1 and witht hem on bs 0 servers?
  • tjosantjosan Join Date: 2003-05-16 Member: 16374Members, Constellation
    The only harmful script (if mousewheel bound jump is the norm) I can see is the pistol script as it takes away some of the skill involved in using the pistol.

    If a player is good with scripts then he is good without them.
    If a player is bad with scripts then he is bad without them.
    If a player is bad without scripts then he is bad with them.

    Scripts will never alter the outcome of a round. If a team can win on a bs_1 server then they can win on bs_0 and vica versa. I found it funny about how many clans whinned about bs_0 when they played <3 and they'd still lose if i put it to bs_1. What a load of difference that made. This just in, scripts are a scapegoat. The real reason you died is because the other player has something resembling skill.

    Yes, people with scripts are probably good without them, but not as good as they are with them.

    We are on the same level of playing, that is what you need to realize.

    Your case is correct about being on the same level of playing on my server. That's because I have mp_blockscripts enabled.

    And on bs_0 servers, everyone can use scripts. It's not like only some people are allowed to.

    The point is that NOT EVERYONE knows what scripts are or how to use them.

    If NS came with a script section built-in the options menu where "official" scripts were available to all players I'd change my opinion.

    The point is that NOT EVERYONE knows what scripts are or how to use them.

    If NS came with a script section built-in the options menu where "official" scripts were available to all players I'd change my opinion.

    oh that's fresh... the "if it's not editable in a menu; it's not kosher" argument...

    FYI.. the menu is scripted... fastswitch was created out of necessity after using aliases long long ago.

    It's all about the Joe Shmoes' in the world making aliases for actions <i>they</i> feel is a necessity.

    Kids cry about losing to other players all the time. That has never changed, but then you have scripts; something people can point their fingers at that doesn't have the stigma associated with them like hacks do. It's like scripts are some kind of tangible black mysterious fog like apparition that is bad and is unfair to other players.

    In the end..examine two players leaping for an attack, one with and the other without scripts; and tell me who has the advantage. The difference I can foresee is that the player without the script will have the advantage by having the freedom to make subtle adjustments to compensate all sorts of conditions. Even in real world conditions the only noticable differences is the very linear and, dare I say, scripted movements that aliases provide.

    I can even go as far as to argue that, barring scripts and aliases, skilled players have the advantage over players with little to no skill at all. Should the game be adjusted to level the playing field?

    No matter how many times it's said you will always have people defending blockscripts despite any real experience with scripts, and mp_blockscripts is that warm blanket for those same people who have next to no idea what it is really like and how worth wild it is to use them.

    And you will always have people defending scripts. gg.

    The devs decide what they want standard on the game. Server ops will then use plugins to alter the game for their server. You can choose what to do on your computer.

    Play happily on a server of your choice.

    As a veteran server operator I appreciate mp_blockscripts 1.
