Quake3World

First off, where did the server admin forum go? :icon23:


Second, there is a person on our server that is suspected of cheating.
Naturally, they will remain nameless but said person's rail gun seems to recharge much faster than it should.

Is there a way to time (in miliseconds) between shots or at the very least, between kills.

I mean, if someone gets two kills within 2100 miliseconds with the railgun and the reload time is 2500 then...

Something is obviously wrong and needs to be fixed.

Any help appreciated.

the default reload time is 1500ms afaik.

Okay, I knew it was something like that...

What I'm looking for is a way to catch someone who might get 2 rails in say like 1000ms.

That's too long to be a "two-for-one" but not long enough for them to reload....

know-what-I-mean-Vern?

Record a demo, and use a stopwatch.

What accuracy is that person hitting and at what ping?

Its 1400 as I have my rail fade time set to that.

nope it's 1500
see upsetchaps Q3 guide

quick look at the source code says this:

case WP_RAILGUN:
addTime = 1500;

It's also possible to kill 2 or 3 people with one rail, but I don't think that's what your talking about. I've done this before though.a 2in1 shot

Almost all cheaters have cheap bots. These bots always lock the target to center while using lg, mg. See by this. If you see perfect mg or lg - as person to aim legs ot head - 99% of such suckers will show poor skills in this:)

Pirates of the southern void mods invading.

and no hack that i know of will allow someone to reload their weapons faster - that's a server option... so unless they have rcon and a clever config (ie- have a bind that fires drops the reload time to 0 then resets it to 1500) it can't be done.

more likely, you've encountered someone with good aim. the game is 8 years old, this happens... especially on ffa servers with lots of (wounded) targets (and not much armor).

this topic is 2 years old. unless he's riddla, he should have gotten over it by now.

mah bad, just looked at the last post.
