PCF Q&A

HomeLanFed have had the chance to put a few questions to PCFs Adrian Chmielarz in the last of the present series of “Games in 2004-2005”.

The Q&A basically talks about PC and Console games that have already been released, and are yet to be released. Adrian mentions HL2 as being one of the best games to ever hit PC. I tend to disagree, but nevermind. :p

  1. So what are the limits of this kind of client side scripting? Looks to me like this is open to massive exploitation… Are there any controls or limitations?

  2. I’m not saying that _you_ would do that cubik, ur a nice guy 🙂

    I’m saying if you can add a sound to an event such as a hit, what’s to stop some evil cheater adding a sound to an event such as an item pickup. Without some kind of client integrity checking (as per blowfish’s link), it won’t be long before cheating (and often worse, the perception of cheating) is rife.

  3. Yeh, thats true, but weve been relatively safe all the time (you could do this in original pk aswell), so I think theres nothing to worry about, atleast not yet.

  4. good job cubik!

    nah, right now the main painkiller community is competitive gamers. it wasn’t that popular before CPL anouncement and that’s why there aws no point in cheating.
    it’s just a matter of time. I’m almost sure there will be some cheats soon, but only few lamers will use them. just like in ut2k4. I’ve been playing that game from demo release and have NEVER played with cheater on the same server.

  5. Muzzle, yeh, in ut2004 I saw a cheater once (and I played it since demo) in an instagib server (aimbot :P), but I never played a cheater in duel. But I still got raped :((

  6. nah 🙂
    well, yea, most cheaters cheat in insta servers (in UT1 I’ve played against many cheaters :P). but it doesn’t matter. what matters is that we have hitsounds now 😛

  7. Yepps 🙂 Booh got the timer and brightskin colors built-in, but I think ill also add a bigger timer (just enlarge the font of the timer) today 🙂

  8. is it possible, that booh got built in hitsounds?
    i found under ..\Painkiller\Data\Sounds\weapons a small file called hit.wav, sounds like a hitsound.
    any ideas?
