InqWiper 0 Posted October 6, 2002 I really dont like how people use the target command to spot enemies. People shoot across the whole map through fog and bushes just because I fired a bullet. Its about as lame as turning cloudlets off. The reason Im asking is because I playd today with people who seemed to use this function and I asked them if they used it. Then the people on my team that I play with several times a week told me to drop it, then I told them why I thouhgt it was lame and they all turned against me and started shouting at me. They just wanted me to accept that its there and just shut up about it, the thing is that I wount accept it. If I accept the target command and turning cloudlets off should I also accept the ammo cheat and the laggcheat? Am I a complete idiot or is there anyone out there that feels like I do about this? Please give me your oppinion. :Edit Sorry I wa gonna post this in general but forgot to move. Im sure a mod will be so kind and help me with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Yes I don't like it but it is there, nothing we can do about it (unless BIS include the option to disable it in MP) RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hugo2020 0 Posted October 6, 2002 What do you think about forgeting one officer, one mg gunner etc...., make all officiers and indepandant, like in Cup_arudy for example, download: http://www.ofp-cup.de/maps/Cup_Arudy_C_1.3.Abel.pbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted October 6, 2002 there is a possibillity to get rid of that "cheat". I really do think it is some kind of cheating cause there is no skill needed to fire at a yellow square. Also the enemies dont necessariliy have to be sighted. Sometimes they appear on the target list without being spotted. This is lame. We played against clans at TCZ that only use this OFP malfunction to gain wins. It is so disgusting, cause people need no skill to win a match then. I already mentioned this malfunction in several topics on MP cheats and others. Only thing that needs to be done is to take away the possibillity to use radio for all on the map with a trigger initiated at startup of misson. The useage of this function made us more or less halt any match activities for the CiA clan at TCZ. There is no sense in searching for good covering places or using tactics if the enemy team uses the target function to uncover every opponent on the map. The clans we faced that used the malfunction often called us losers or beginners or whiners when we told them that we think it is no sportsmanship or fairness to use this function. We are not using that function cause we play fair. I really hate this thing and I hope all ladders will modify their maps to get rid of that cheaters.

InqWiper 0 Posted October 6, 2002 So I guess its not just me then Isnt there any way for the server to change the difficulty settings to prevent the box from appearing or make it appear only for 5 seconds or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Not that I know of, but it would be a nice addition to the game. RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw 0 Posted October 6, 2002 in vet mode the yellow square will dissapear after a while, but 5 or 10 secs are still 5 or 10 secs to much. The lkadders need to take care of that issue by changing the maps with a trigger "enable radio = false " for all units on map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted October 6, 2002 talk to TCZ about that. Their biggest weakness is that their maps need serious work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whisperFFW06 0 Posted October 7, 2002 OMG!! That's why I'm spotted and killed evry time!!! (hum...Not sure, but could be ) Did anyone try to "this disableAI "AUTOTARGET" " on the init line of players? This can sound rather stupid for players, but it is related to the AI ability to detect units, and I think the same engine is used to update the player target list. We should give it a try....
