023 Shadow Of The Void [130] v1.0.3

[CYBER]

i can do some testing, give me a complete checklist of what to look for (variable-wise) and i can get a couple players in there asap and test shit out.

so do i understand from the posts that the test server is not updated to the current version that the current server is on?

and by strength , i think zero meant somewhat of a "Radius" of the void and if people caught in that radius can escape or not (i would know how to test it i think, i always get caught in voids as a flyer or "sticking" race, and i manage to get out alive by controlling movement...
checklist would be nice,
and please, no bots, fuck them. if we want to test 2-player skills , we can call a friend in fo sure

Not sure if anyone else posted this, but when going from terrorist/counter-terrorist if you are Shadow of the Void, or any race that has an ultimate/ability attack that lasts for a length of time, when you go to spectate after you die, your wards/ultimate TARGET BOTH T/CT giving you credit and XP for killing EVERYONE. I was testing out different races/methods and I got banned with no warning from an admin w/no tag for exploiting this (erdenay said it was illegal but I hadn't seen a ruling on this situation), but some others have figured out how to do it and i'm sure there's a simple code to stop wards/ultimates effecting the game as a spectator. Admins aren't always in the game so I figure the code should be put in place to make sure XP is earned correctly.

I'm not trying to piss people off, I just like to find exploits because that's what I do. And if I have to get banned every time an exploit is found, I'll gladly take the fall so long as it gets fixed, like last time I got banned for dragonfly crashing, and look now it's fixed! peace.

I just like to ban exploiters because that's what I do. Enjoy your 6 month vacation.

i'm going to have to agree with spasm on this one. finding exploits is NOT a bad thing. however, taking advantage of said exploits should absolutely be grounds for a ban. the fact that you don't realize this is extremely troubling.

I'll just say that I thought this was the first ban I got for glitching, I see that Erdenay banned me for 2 days a couple months ago which I wasn't even aware of until now. The other 2 'hacking bans' I received were overturned after a month.

Going from 2 days which I wasn't aware of, to 6 months feels slightly excessive. Let me just stress that I was NOT told/warned by an ADMIN to stop what I was doing yesterday, I was just banned, yes maybe I knew I probably shouldn't behave that way, but in real life if I got a lawyer you guys know I'd get off on these technicalities. We really should at least have an ADMIN ask someone to stop, Kick, then Ban like the procedure states. I clearly would have stopped even if I got slapped by an admin. Not to mention the rules are being updated so we should add this information so people don't think they can get away with it.

It's these Gray areas that cause trouble in my mind; I’ve heard people say rules apply that don't exist, like 'no sky-walking' when it is allowed. My main request is to have some form of communication from an admin confirmation, not just a regular who says it is illegal, because honestly us regulars can give advice but the admins are the ones who have authority to tell someone to stop, kick, THEN ban. I don't feel like I should have less procedure rights just due to the fact that I frequent the server or "he knows better". Thanks for reading

(p.s) If an admin has a transcript of them telling me to stop yesterday, please let me know where it is as I potentially could have missed it. (spasm)

little off topic as opposed to the shadow glitch but earlier in the day u were a vaga and i killed you and i would assume you changed to panorama to cause rematch and than you changed to shadow hunter before the next round but you still spawned me with rematch so you are well aware of what you are doing with glitchs

[h4x0r]

Is that illegal?? this is exactly what i'm talking about guys, gray areas everywhere with this mod... wait maybe I should be upgraded to Permanent ban because I've been using that glitch too? Or is it even a glitch? I don't know as far as i know that was allowed. We rarely have regular admins on who actually know the specifics of these rules, which is why we get insta-banned because the admin is already pissed off that they even have to go to the server because no one else is there. So fuck the process, let's just ban without a kick or a warning or even a slap, fuck the procedures, I know he must know all the rules.

dude this is the thread for the race if your gonna complain about your ban make a thread in the unban me section.

ps glitching is against the rules, the glitch itself does not have to be specified since there are likely innumerable ways to glitch
