Bhop Scripting and how to spot it
Just a quick little guide on this issue in particular. Bhop scripting is using a tool which makes bunnyhopping basically automatic. It can be done by basically binding a button to constantly jump for example, or can be used like a toggleswitch so you don't even have to hold the button down. The how isn't what's important though, what we all need to understand is that while the script is active, the user will be bunnyhopping FLAWLESSLY. On all of our servers, it is possible to bunnyhop without scripts, usually by using the scroll wheel to jump. USING SCROLL WHEEL TO JUMP IS PERFECTLY LEGAL. However even the best at this method will screw up every now and then, and lose their momentum. So if you're looking at someone to see if they're bhopping, look for these things:
1. Mistakes? Mistimed jumps? Does he lose his momentum? If so, it's not a script. Scripts are flawless, or very close to it...that's how they're made. Unless he's purposefully hiding a bhop script...nobody does that.
2. Ramps/uneven surfaces. If it's not flat or downhill, bhopping is extremely difficult, especially in the case of stairs. If they're bhopping flawlessly up stairs, up ramps, over uneven surfaces with any consistency, most likely you're looking at scripter.
3. Is he on WCS? If so, several races have long jump, and bhopping is very easy with those races. Hell I used to do it with just a spacebar. Keep that in mind, however if the race has no long jump/gravity reducing abilities, you can still spot this in WCS using the above tips.
4. Is he a zombie in zm? If someone's somehow consistently bhopping as a zombie, something's fucked up... see THIS thread. NOTE: bhopping is still possible for humans.
5. Review some old bhop script ban demos. These three( 1 2 3 ) should be decent examples, pay attention to the ticks listed and note what we see in them.
6. If this is your first bhop script case, don't ban right away. Call in someone more experienced (anex, hitman, chef, me, cyber, scribs, spasm just to name a few) to take a look, or post up a demo without making the ban. Better to wait a bit than to make an unwarranted ban.
7. Are they using a heavy weapon? Bhopping with something like awp/m249 is not only inefficient, but damn near impossible with anything but a script. Keep an eye out for that. (thanks cyber)
8. Scripts may also give a robotic mouse motion impression, from anex: "Ex, camera not moving up or down, only moving left and right. Camera moving left and right at the exact same points."
As always, if you need to review the demo, post the demo, or send a demo to someone else to review, those are found HERE. Or of course you can record a personal demo, just be sure to include sb_status at the end.
