Tell Me If This Is Not Totally Lame...

<div class="IPBDescription">this is why i only play on my server</div> this was horrible. went on a server named Missile Command 24/7 NS Server with the admins being Carl and Corp. Hicks (and btw, isnt that name a little overused? i know its the guy from aliens, but ffs) who were both on marines. and, as you have guessed, the map was ns_missilecommand_final3. i got in and went gorge. built a structure, and it finished building in like 1 second by itself. then i typed that code to give you res, givepoints, and bam, i got 33 res points. i went skull to drop down and see what was shaking, and the marines had everything built. they must have had 1000 res. so i figured we were doomed and this is pretty lame, especially when marines are doing it since they already have the advantage. but i said, what the hell. i went back up, went gorge, built d, movement, sens, and 1 more hive. got more res. dropped to that middle platform right above their base and went onos. dropped down and tore them up a bit. til i ran into corp. hicks, who had GODMODE on too!!! i mean christ, if you are gonna put cheats on and not tell anyone thats one thing, but to do that and then put godmode on yourself is another. but....my team figured out the trick and started building like mad and all went onos. we ripped apart their base, but could't kill corp. hicks, cause he still had godmode on. after like 5 minutes he killed himself. in the ready room i complained that you could at least tell everyone what cheats are on and NOT use godmode cause its extremely lame. they said read the server rules. i did, it says....

1) do not cheat
2) do not be lame

hmmm....interesting. then when i joined the aliens again pigged my controls so the were messed up. i couldnt do builds but i could jump. how much fun, standing in place jumping.

now, i understand that some servers use givepoints to speed up the game and make it faster paced. which is fine. i liked the givepoints thing, it was a change of pace. but TELL EVERYONE WHAT THE COMMANDS ARE AND NOT KEEP THAT FACT A SECRET. also, dont build up and level up everything then turn godmode on so you can win. thats just lame.

it was the first time i ever played a totally lame NS game that reminded me of how lame CS used to be.

i still love NS and i dont want to see lamer servers like this putting bad ideas in the heads of people.

let me know what you guys think.

    The cheats can be fun, if they are used not to "win" but to simply allow lots of ONOS vs HA/HMG/Welders etc, in siege_005 I remmeber it was just me and an admin, I was marine and he was alien and we just teched up and had some fun, didn't try to destory each others bases or whatever.

    But I fail to see how the Godmode cheat can be fun, unless its for a game of hide and seek or something.

    "RUN TEH ONOS SI COMING!!!"

    Just paralise him until he runs out of ammo anyway <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    LOL They are idiots for having cheats on someone could easily type crash in the console and bang the server will crash. GG.

    You should have typed "invul" and "spawnhive" in your console
    and beat them at their own little corrupt game.

    TBH, it's totally lame to for admins to do that sort of thing, however it's also totally pointless to go post about it on the NS forums.

    Is there a list somewhere over all the sv_cheats commands?

    I know a fair few of them, like give item_ and give weapon_ , but i´d like to see the list of them all.

    Is it maybe already lying somewhere in my ns folder? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think I was there at the same time as you, a][infect, as a marine.
    I had no idea cheats were on until everything but that godmoded guy was dead.
    That server sucked, I went console->exit.

    I would just like to add that, yes, there ARE way too many jerks out there named Corporal Hicks, Corp. Hicks ( Im pretty sure Corp. isnt a proper abbreviation ), Hicks,etc. Im tired of running into all these impostors, posers, and wannabes. After all, I am the original, and only, Cpl. Hicks, and Im tired of my name being taken in vain. I must confess that it was not me who so cheated you on that server ( I dont even have that map currently ), but I am appalled by his behavior. Rest assured that I would NEVER resort to such llama behavior. Im giving that imposter 48 hours to leave NS forever, or face virtual military action at a time of my choosing. Thank you, and God Bless NS.

    no he said he used the command to get res, which would imply that what I said isnt true but aliens dont have to type it so hes lying
  • AnavrinAnavrin Join Date: 2002-10-30 Member: 1734Members
    Doesn't /crash only work on clientside? I'm 99% sure of it. If you wanted to crash the server with that command, you'd need to /rcon it through.
  • masterswordmanmasterswordman Join Date: 2002-12-21 Member: 11303Members
    why don't we try it on that server <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Aliens do have to type givepoints to get res even with cheats on, he's not lying.

    Usually I'd agree that this is lame, but you can't really take missilecommand seriously... can you?

    I've been to that server, I think. Carl seemed like a nice guy, and none of that silliness happened then. It was kinda dumb for them to do that though; you REALLY should have given them a lesson in having half a brain and crashed their server with "crash."

    Man I know how you feel. I went into this server with these lame admins they were kicking ppl who were p-ing them off and they had full cheats on. Then they said anybody who activates the cheats are gonna get a ban. I got mad so I was like "unfair man some of these goofs are using the cheats!" next thing you know it they reconfigure my keys so everytime I try to shoot the mouse was binded to turn on the flash light and everytime I press my walk forward key they rebinded it to say kill in console. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Now THAT'S abuse. You know the name of the server?
  • MindmeldmeMindmeldme The Evil One Join Date: 2002-10-27 Member: 1637Members
    I recommend...you find a server you don't like....don't go back. I refuse to play with people who cheat...what's the point? Play the game right or go play CS...I thought this was about skill lad's...don't make it lame....
