Title: *Cheat/Bug in 1.3*
Post by: AlbinoPenguin on March 06, 2004, 02:39:39 AM
I'm gunna be away for a lil birt, taking care of some family stuff. However, when I get back I would like to demostrate this bug to someone in the closed beta team, like Speedy, and explain how it is done, so hopefully it will be fixed.

Thanks for the attention.

Hmmm.... I've heard rumors about it too...and rumors about insiders confirming it.

Can GSH confirm this himself?

Wouldn't particularly blame him if he did, tho he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to let a 2+ year project go unfinished just because a few unsocialised kiddies want to post rude words at him. Hope he's just having a break.

Every community has it's vandals and hooligans and career wankers, BZ2 has never been an exception. At least here they are generally in the easily ignored minority.

So, no-one on the inside wants to see this even of the hope he will come back?

May I suggest just waiting for Ken Miller or GSH to show up or contact them through private channels such as PM or email. I can't see where telling other players is going to help anything.  The AV chat attack was spread across the entire community when it was described in the changelog, please don't let your new discovery be spread just because you're proud of having found it.

See above post re: vandals and hooligans. Some people just thrive on making others have a hard time.

TV, thats why I wanted to only describe it to one of the private beta members, and only one I felt was reliable. Waiting on GSH might be a good idea, but he has never said anything to me both, or replied to any PM's in the past. Not saying that was intentional, he is a busy bloke.

Also, this is an old exploit, which I reported about a year ago now(Wardog should remember it), so I was a little suprised it was still in 13

Where telling someone in the private beta might help. Thats simple TV. It has alot more chance of been seem by GSH/KM if it comes from a private beta tester on his "good list", then it does coming fom me. So *hopefully*, this time it is fixed.

I'm not proud of finding a exploit. Whats to be proud of? Its a simple bug/unintended use. Simple as that. Nothing big.

Anyways, I'll try and be on msn to catch u speedy.

You could have simply email or pm it to some of the beta or CP team members, no need to post this here in the puplic, init ? Unless you are - oh well.

Post by: AlbinoPenguin on March 07, 2004, 12:23:51 PM
*sighs again*

Why??? Because I posted on these boards a year ago. Was told thank you for finding it, and we will fix it.

Result: Not fixed.

also, it is hard to show its effect without SHOWING someone. some people would say, "so what, that won't affect much", until they you show someone, then there "WHOA that blows"

But, if someone trying to HELP out, and report a bug, which can be just as bad as the AV bug, just gets critised as "Unless you are - oh well."

Well, you know what? Everyone here whinges that we are here just to cause trouble, and we get treated like we are crap(note, this stuff is working both ways), then I may as well go the same way as Lizard. Screw you all. Work this stuff out your self.

Lucky I installed BF1942 today eh? Wonderful game

Have fun, good luck, die well and don't lag.
Bye,

Move to BF42 its like moving to a dead man. Try UT2004 demo Onslaught mode instead. And stop cry me a river Albino, you know exactly what effect it can have to post something about a not fixed bug in 1.3 beta for the Community and the game at this serious situation. Pretty much of a difference if you posted it a year ago or now exactly at this time. I am convinced you not as dumb to know what a little drop like that can cause now. Either report your stuff to an official hand without showing off to the puplic and begging for compliments or stfu and go an play on the motorway or BF42 or whatever.

LOL this is getting a crazy circus. Especiially I like watching people who pour oil into the fire and then whine and swear about all the flames.

Last post on here. Just had to clear something up on Mav's last comment.

Call me dumb, or w/e u like. But I don't do crap like your suggesting Mav. Maybe someone would back me, but who knows. I have been trying to people testing 1.3 since it came out, and have been doing so myself. The initial post was made before I was aware that GSH may have left 1.3. I don't want 1.3 to fall over. Why the f* would I have already changed over around 500 files to 1.3 to try and get SO mod up again.(its around 3000 files total).

suggesting that I'm doing this to cause crap is nonsense, and if that is how you treat everyone *attempting* to help, then no wonder there is so much trouble with 1.3.

Look up all the old posts by No|<0mm3nt(me) on the old board. I did everything I could to help bz2, writing game reviews, etc, etc. But if you want to think that I do this to spite 1.3, then who am I to tell you what to think.

I'm not begging for compliments or w/e you reckon. This is a game, and I couldn't care less what people think. It has no relation to my RL what so ever.

But anyways, talking here is a moot point anyway, so why bother. I'll try UT2004, thanks for the suggestion.

I know a few RIPs, but Maverick doesnt really fit into this cool bunch. What means the F? Fool? *Ammo*ed-up? Freak?

I recall a few games with Nok and he has all my respect. You must have reasons beyond public knowledge to piss at him.

NoK, I think its great that you want to report the bug, and hope that you get it resolved. But seriously, telling other beta members is *not* how its going to get fixed if it does get fixed at all. The closed beta isn't as "private" and only inclusive of honorable people as an outsider might presume.

Either you get Ken or Nathan to listen, or it simply wont get fixed. If it doesn't get fixed, then why spread it?

This reminds me of NoKomment's common abbreviation, "NoK". Some people (Uhm, Speedy?) seem to be confusing it with old, dead clan's tag I happen to wear, {NoK} that is. Just to make this clear hopefully once and for all, {NoK} is a clan tag, NoK seems to be short for NoKomment aka AlbinoPenguin(right?). And I hope (well, I'm fairly sure ;) ) NoKomment doesn't put any {NoK}'s in his name, even when he's undercovered? :)

Hmmm. Tried playing BF1942 :( Got very stange looks when I keeped asking for pods and scavs, and saying there was a sniper about, but let him walk home...

Anyways, I got this issue hopefully resolved with someone now. So we just need to hope GSH comes back. =)

Can let one person ruin a patch that has been so fun to play with so far modding wise now can I?

For those interested, view the Mods and Maps forum for a new map downlaod by me. Completely new mode, with a Bugless(hopefully) Spectator mode.

lawl.. nok showing the old dog a new trick.. what it DLL or ODF spoofing?

or some sort of isdf weapon access on scion terminals .. or something simple and inconspicuous like deploying undeploying rapidly so to get thru walls with the turrets?

or is it something like bouncing mdm off a m-curtain for extreme range? tho its a complete waste of time :D

ya'll leave NoK alone damnit!  :P (yeah Mav talkin to you, if you have nothing to say but bitch at him then shut up, no need for you to post here then)

its good that he posts here, the devs could see it as a spam/flame pm (so many of them anyways).. Besides beta team knows what to do with it, and pass it on, he's not asking for recognicion, no need for that, he just wants to help..

(lol NoK btw 1942: POD! :D)
