Force Sky
« on: March 15, 2010, 01:19:22 PM »
Forcesky is currently enabled in all servers and has been for the past few years. Although i think all forcesky does is cause more people to "hack" by changing modding their env folder. why just disable forcesky so everyone is able to do it like it was a few years ago. if everyone can do it, its not really an advantage.

This vote will decide whether or not forcesky will be on or off in FR4G Match Servers.

On, kinda stupid to give people advantages with exploits just like the crosshair exploit.

Jitspoe likes to keep this game as newbie friendly as possible, and the command to change the sky isn't commonly known when you first start out playing the game.  That is why it is considered an advantage, and forcesky was introduced.

this is just for match servers though which you're only able to get on irc thus there are no newbies and anyone who gets themselves into the match scene will learn about it rather quickly just like it was before.

When you go on airtime and turn on a day sky but still see the outline of a person in in shadows that's an advantage. It was used as an exploit, not because people preferred different skies on certain maps.

not quite sure what your talking about considering you can see the whole person when using a day sky.

looks like none of you can think outside of the box. except olbaid but i dont think he realized i was just talking about match servers. not even saying that im right and it should be changed but at least ive given a valid reason...

Why can't you just play the maps the way they were made? Instead of trying to change things to make playing easier and take out any difficulty to the game whatsoever...

there you go jusu you gave a valid reason as to why it shouldnt be changed you're the smartest one who voted that sky should be forced.

Mappers put the type of sky they want in for a reason, and have the style they think fits their map best. Airtime's highdark for example. Changing skys ruins that. Might as well say: Mappers can only use bright skys, that way even newbies would have the advantage.

Just like the crosshair exploit, it's not needed, it gave an advantage, it got removed. Everyone could of found out about it, just like they could find out about skys, but it gives advantages to those who know about it to those who don't. Sure everyone might find out over time, but why not just make sure everyone having the same advantages/disadvantages by just not having the ability to change that stuff. [I bet some people reading this wont know what the crosshair exploit was, and it was around for a build or two]

Reaver, you're in your own world on this, nobody agrees with you yet even on IRC you still try to prove a point which you have no logic towards. It's not needed, nor wanted.

how so. i stated several times over irc that i didnt think either argument was right or wrong. i just dared you to think of a reason why it should be forced. took you over 30 mins of bashing me to come up with an answer. basically you acted like a politician when you dont have an answer for something you just publically bash your opponent in the hopes that no1 will notice that you didnt respond.

But the thing is, NOT everyone will know about this command. I remember when it was off, I had no idea about it until I joined unpro. You can't just expect to re-enable a command in the game that gives a huge advantage and think everyone will be able to use it/know about it.

Play the maps how they're suppose to be played.

would only be on fr4g match servers and i doubt it would take very long for the matching scene to realize it was off. as i said in my post above though i like that you and jusu at least knew why you voted for what you did before you voted. instead of acting like an ignorant 15 year old

It wouldn't be getting enabled on Fr4G match servers, no idea what you're talking about. Unless you're planning on buying new ones then I have no idea.
