Untick forced models
 

hi all, i was wondering i heard Dogmeat was making a mod where it auto uunticks everyones forced model box on arrival at your server, has anyone any ideas or has anyone got it

thanx in advance

Yeah, I know! But don´t know by now where to DL this tool, sorry.

should prevent cheater skins. Good idea, altough ppl can still replace one of the original skins with cheater skins -> Damn!

Anyway it´s a good attempt to stop cheating! THX

I´ve played with the regular Wehrmacht skin all the time, so it´s not a big change for me ;-)

That would be great to have for the server I admin on. I hope someone posts more info on it. But it is true, they will just modify the base skin files. Its sad to think that there are people out there who have to win by shooting at red and blue skins.....

Yes that's right dogmeat and myself got it working ages ago

visit TMT coz u can download it from there, look for DMZDogTag 1.7

BTW it does much much more than just the force models.

@ Sitting_Duck:

Indeed, it´s very sad that ppl use damn texts to see you on the horizon. So if you´re sitting somewhere like a duck and feel yourself covered, but get shot in the head then you know why!

@ Dogmeat / Scorpiomidget: GREAT WORK!

thanx for the replys, i had a look and couldnt see it sorry

can't fin DMZDogTag 1.7 at TMT......
 

Thanks for the file to look for. I hope DK666 will be able to use it in conjuncition with the other mods running on the server. But....because theres always a but somewhere....I can't seem to locate it at TMT, I did a search by the exact spelling and it doesn't show up....hrmm. Maybe they tossed it? Is there any other location that it may be available? oOo:

Re: Untick forced models
 

that would be a big bummer for those out there who hasn't got the best videocards - forced models makes it a bit easier to handle. Besides, I don't think forced models is the biggest cheat around... By putting on a mod like this, "cheaters" will be replacing the original skins, and non-cheaters with old video-cards will suffer.

I think its a rubbish idea
 

I always play with forced models so that I feel I am in a squad rather than surrounded by Mannons/doctors/SASguys........
Will it ban winter skins to!?
While I appreciate the effort to reduce cheating frankly its a non starter, there are much worse forms of cheating going on and I doubt it wil be very hard to get around.
determined cheats will usually prevail on public servers.
If a mod to prevent a lower order of cheating alters the way many people prefer to play legitimately then its just a kind of victory for the cheats. Like the pointless satisfaction of outwitting everyone with the ladder cheat, wall hacks, teleporting nades whatever...... what the joy is in winning nothing in particular by cheating and defeating the whole purpose of playing a game is... I really don't know.
Basically there are worse types of cheating going on
Ladder exploit, Bush Hack, Fog Hack,Max Farplane Hack,Farplane NOCULL Hack, No Recoil hack, 3rd Person View, Door Hack, Entity Hack, POV hacks,
nade teleporting, nade throw distance hack, spawn switch hack,plus who knows what else.........

STUPID WASTE OF TIME way of dealing with this problem unless ALL servers use ALL legitimate skins "PLOP" goes using custom skins just for your own viewing pleasure

text?
that a typo?

[url:e4ac7]http://www.pricewatch.com/[/url:e4ac7] I don't mean to offend anyone with financial hardships, as I have them myself. But this is the site to go to for good deals on hardware. I have done 90% of my upgrades from this site. The cheapest G4 MX 440 64MB card is $57 with s/h. As for the fact that there are tons of cheats out there...well we need to get EA to install PunkBuster in the expansion pack. We need it desperately. All the Half Life hackers out there are feeding on our beloved game. I have posted a petition which has been created to make EA aware of our plite.

Found the file....thanks alot!
 

Thanks alot for the info on the file. I found it after a little hunting in the forums. Btw, will the immunity option be available soon? We have a few admins and also when pvt practices are held it would help to have that in place. I know we could just overwrite an adjusted version on the server and restart it. Ok I guess thats it for now. Thanks again!!! ed:

@ remix:
No, I meant textures, loool!

can u plz post the url where i can find it cheers

when you turn off force models it feels like you're playing a ffa game instead of as a team. everyone's got their own preference for stock skins and it sucks that you have to take that extra half second to make sure that the person in your crosshairs is the enemy. more often than not that enemy is going to get you first. the fact is that armed forces wear similar uniforms. now if you took off force models and then make it so everyone has the same skin on then that will be tolerable.

yeah theres that but screw it..... i wanna see whatever the hell i pick. i been playing with elite sentry / airborne forced for months and thats what i want to use. these are the helmets i look for when sniping and against the background when im running about. i used to run forced cause with low graphics setting on a shit card at 20FPS you pretty much pissing into the wind if you wanna distinguish between all the skins and have a decent game.

i got a kickass card now but i like my Nazis as SS looking black bastards and pretty much everyone uses the Ranger skin as allies so i wanna look different.

you could spot the tools from day 1 who were running around on all maps with the snow outfits and you knew what they were doing.... its always gonna happen to some degree.... just got to shoot them in the face first is all.
