It looks like Jedi Knight has already gone the way of
Diablo with people cheating with hacks online. I understand
people who can't complete a game by themselves using codes to
get through with it, I think it ruins it but to each his own.
The same thing is unforgiveable, however, when done online because
it's cheating OTHERS instead of just yourself. I understand all
the sophomoric reasons, "it's funny, it's cool, I have no
skillz!" but when someone comes into a game with the intention
of cheating it only means they suck and can't compete normally.
I don't like being killed with one blow of a Lightsaber because
it's hacked, or being shot by a bacta tank or health pack that
someone has hacked to use as a skin instead of a normal one, not
to mention the people that have limitless force or health. If
they'd just start their own game and say "Cheating allowed here"
so all the cheaters could still play and let those who want an
honest, fair game alone, then more power to ya, at least those in
the game know whats going on, but to jump into a fair game to
cheat only means you're a sorry person. I predict that Jedi
Knight on the Internet gaming zone will soon be like Diablo, 80%
of the people cheating, and the rest wondering how they died. It
really sucks that a good game has to be ruined by
hacker/cheaters, I wish LA had thought of a way to protect
against it.

Just so ya know, it IS possible to
kill somebody with the saber with one good wack... aim for the
head and use secondary swing. This puppy will kill (or
seriously wound) every time... I get nailed all the time this way
and I'm playing WITHOUT cheaters...
I'd have to say I've never seen any cheaters so far. But I'm not
on the Zone. Far too many lamers there for my taste. Anyway, can
you give me some more the details? Am I right in assuming that
in JK you can only run cheating COG code if you are the server?
Or can anybody? If it was the former, simply quitting and
playing on trusted servers would suffice. The same thing *would*
be possible with Quake, if the server was running a mod. The
only thing was, in Quake, you had to have at least a dual ISDN
connection to even start thinking about hosting a game. That in
itself and the permanency of most of the servers ruled out all
the llamas. If the case is the former, and anyone can run hacked
code during multiplayer, then we are screwed. Get back to me.

I totally agree. This seems to be the best way
to deal with multiplayer cheaters. Dark Reign uses a
"checksum" system that compares files, but I think there are
probably ways to hack around that. Blizzard proved that
trying to stop cheating and hacking is a total waste of time.
So the best thing to do is to let the game host deal with
it. It definitely works well in I-76.
Actually i have a pretty good solution for the problem of people
allready ruining the game like diablo or JK by the use of
hacks..... Give the host of the game the ability to BOOT anyone
that he or she wants!! I play I76 (interstate 76) and its
allready filled with people with hacked cars and weapons.. but..
the host can boot! People make games with the letters N/H
for no hacks and everyone knows that the host wont tolerate
hacked players! Hackers make their own games and have
fun.. and leave the rest alone.... THAT MY FRIENDS IS THE
SOLUTION! If you could boot in Diablo the game would be
saved aswell... I think its time for LA to make a new
patch.. dont you all think? hehehe

Read your readme.txt file in the Jedi directory. It explains some
usefull console commands such as kick....the command which is
already in this game for letting the host kick players.
Most games include a readme.txt file or something similar and it
pays to read them because they almost always include features
that weren't included in the manual.

If you use patches like that online, they ARE
cheats, giving you an advantage over others without their
knowledge or consent. What you do offline is your business,
doesn't bother me if you play in Godmode all day long, use Saber
hacks, or erase your skin completely, as long as you don't do it
against me online, without my consent. That would be CHEATING.

Look, I don't CARE if
they change characters as long as it's a person or humanoid bot,
Gamorrean guard, whatever, what I object to is people changing
to the skin of a bacta tank or rock, or crate, health, etc... Do
you see what I mean, oh, guess not, you haven't been killed by a
Bacta tank yet. They're basically doing what "Ghost" in Diablo
did, do you see anything wrong with that?
