Noto's News Nuggets

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 19:36 30/12/2003.

A pretty slow day for CS news however I have managed to scavenge a few bits to keep you occupied till the UK/IE cup games at 8pm.

Do you hate the text in CS 1.6? Ever wanted to go back to 1.5 style fonts? Well you can, thanks to a nice guide by TitrationX. It is well written, very easy to follow and lots of examples. So this should be mere child's play even for the simplest of folk. Check out TitrationX's CS Font guide now.

Next up is an Interview done by Steampowered.co.uk with the renowned cheat creator, Joolz. It's a little old and was over looked during the X'mas holidays, however it is an interesting read.

Steampowered.co.uk: (Decent) how did you get the idea to do the metacheat, and how did you get in side the code, so to speak?

Joolz: Hmmm... MetaCheat started as a concept. I was pondering if it was possible to push .NET Framework to do such a thing. In fact, Microsoft say that this isn't technically possible But, MC proves it is, It all started there... As for getting inside the code,If you mean Half-Life there is a Half-Life SDK available from Valve which details ALL the structures that they use in memory they say a lot of things like that.

Steampowered.co.uk: (MG^^) How long does a cheat like MetaCheat take to program?

Joolz: MetaCheat initially took a month of solid work (as in evenings and weekends). These days, to update it, takes around an hour per steam update maybe 2 for a VAC update.

"its not the cheat makers who give CS a bad rep, its the ppl shouting cheat cheat when someone is good"

ok let me try and work this one out, i am quite stupid and clearly not as intelligent as Joolz. If cheats for CS didnt exist ppl wouldnt cry "cheat cheat".

This leads me to believe Joolz is speaking out of his virus ridden anus, [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

There is the ever so slight wiff of arrogance in that i-view. But I do agree with him on Valve's treatment of the security holes in the HL engine, I also think that they should consult cheat coders, it can only lead to a more secure game.

Still, he thinks he's hot s***! "I hax0rd teh .net frayme w0rk, all teh n00bs said it was impossible!1" [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

actually, the people who shout "cheat cheat", when clearly its actually someone decent, are more annoying than really cheaters, who more often that not get caught and banned anyway, whereas the nobs who are too dumb to realise theres someone better than them dont get banned =/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

my m8 uses the j00lz cheat for a laugh on s***ty servers and tbh its funny as hell at times. He doesn't do it seriously or to gain a reputation or anything, he just does it coz its funny watching newbie t**ts getting ripped to pieces :)

I'd probably have a few spins on it as well if I didnt wanna risk losing an unspecled wonid which I've had since I started playing HL online. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i like the attitude he has. he is obviously a skilled programmer, more skilled than the guys at valve, so why not make cheats for a game that is free? no one is being forced to use them. people seem to think cheating is this big new problem that started with cs - a lot of these cheat writers have just migrated from quake and other similar games. only difference is that id were more successful at stopping cheating online.

what actually p***es me off is valves inability to stop cheating and ppl who cry cheater all the time. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

what actually p***es me off are these ppl who cheat at a s***y pc game and try to pretend to be good, coz they are losers irl and think the whole world is against em or something :) it's almost as bad as in the beginning of cs 1.3 again ... Joolz may sound arrogant, but he's good so that's ok i guess :| [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i kinda know joolz from online, cos he lives in my town, ive never actually met him but hes a sound bloke, i dont agree with his cheats but hes a very talented person, with a nicely paid job, which was to do with programming cancer treatment machines i tihnk or something.

dont forget he has offered his help to valve, and he was ignored, so maybe valve have made this cheat problem. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

shads, carvell, there's a very easy way to fix most 1.6 demos. doesn't work with every demo, though.

1. open server and choose the map the demo was recorded on. wait till the map is loaded.
2. open console, load demo.

i'm not kidding. it's really that uncomplicated! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
