View Full Version : Anyone interested in a private server? (RANT)

I've been learning the game pretty well - almost too well.

All I get is, are you 8H (no I am not)? Are you using a cheat? Are you super low ping? Are you doing this or that?

Man ... (sorry to rant here) but I'm getting pretty good at this Comanche 4 and now I find people accuse me of cheating left and right. It's getting to the point the game is losing it's fun.

They don't do it in a way that's obvious - they say, are you 8H? Despite the fact a server says 3H only ...

Example - I go on and this guy is getting top score - a person asks him - are you 8H? I say, hey get on as 8H and you will explode. So the person goes, I know about autoexplode I was just askin. Well why ask a question that leads to an accusation? Instead of praising the person for his skill the other player accuses him of cheating - and this is a rampant thing.

It's become a fighting technique: "Accuse the other guy of cheating, when you lack the skills to kill him."

I really love this game but a lot of players will do everything to accuse others of cheating .. just to make a person feel bad and make them play worse so they can get a better score.

That's just wrong.

I have a setup that's pretty fast and I can run a dedicated server.

If enough people are interested, and willing to play without accusing others of cheating, tricks, or whatever - just good wholesome clean skillful fun - I will make it password protected and we can share it with other people who are willing to follow the same rules.

Thanks.

Sorry for the rant. I'm frustrated. :(

Thank you.

I'm running a server on Novaworld that uses AutoExplode (for no 8H) and I'm using a macro program "Macro Express":

www.macros.com

that gives message every 30 minutes - "Don't accuse others of 8H and cheating, this server runs autoexplode anti-8H program, etc, etc."

The macros works nice, just have to make sure there is a one second delay to every command.

Macro Express seems perfect for server admins and probably players - you can set it to do a series of commands, so if you use a keyboard and mouse (instead of just a flightstick) you can do a series of commands (i.e. gear up, shoot 3 times, etc.)

This is how to do the macros, if anyone is interested:
