  1. Problems with shared and smurf accounts, and rating inaccuracies (Title was "What?")

    Could we please stop the mess about the account speculations ? I'm always wondering what are the real intends behind? (@Yekaterina ?)

    Not speculation. Facts. People shared their account password or user.cfg with me via WhatsApp and Discord. Then I did the same with my accounts as well. I sent people my passwords as a gesture of friendship. Only my very close friends and trusted ones got to use my most important accounts. 

    I'm different to GOAT; these were not gathered by snooping IP but actual first person involvement. People offered me their accounts and passwords but I declined in some cases. I used Catherine because I wanted the name but berhudar made it before me, sad. He kindly shared it with me so why not

    But the names in the table are already history. No longer relevant.

    I'm just demonstrating to vinme what he has encountered

    2200 is just a number. Try to draw the rating distribution and you will see that it looks like everything except the Gaussian it should be.

    We can discuss its theoretical benefits but a basic and quick check of all players rated between 1500 and 1700 cancel all of them.

    Right now they are so many exceptions in ratings that you cannot find any threshold for beginner/med/pro/legends.

    It's pure non sens to give any number when joining TG (And we can also debate about any balance based on 1vs1 ratings ?? they are just fully different)

     

    Well said. Although I would expect a kind of Poisson distribution, or double Poisson with 2 peaks.

    If you are a modder reading this, please do not follow this recommendation. There are valid guides on the forum explaining how to make mods for the game

    Why not. I always do this. All those mods were made this way. It's simple and fast and allows you to test things on the go without installing A27

    Furthermore, you've also won the a special award for naming the exact steps that could help cheaters cheat better.

    No. This is standard dev operation. If you want to make any mod for A26, you must unzip the public.zip in order to gain access to the asset files and templates.  I would copy the files away to my mod folder in order to not harm the source code.  A27 svn is not always reliable because there may be changes to file hierarchy and naming, so their templates will cause errors in A26. 

     

    After the unzip, whatever you do is another story.

    . Are you going to claim that getting a free 500 of precise APM with possibly no overkill ever is just an insignificant, minor convenience?

    I've never heard of any script which can do what you describe.  0AD executes 5 turns per second (less if there is lag) so I really don't see the point of your 500 APM. Plus, a good build order and knowing when to do what is more effective than spam clicking on your units. 

    I mentioned "snipe script" to mock JC, who accuses StockFish of using "snipe scripts" whenever he loses to fish. Didn't expect you to fall for the same thing.

    lol kids, pros unzip their public.zip and edit straight away. No mods. 

    All those arguments about snipe scripts and autoboom... Let's put it it this way: all such knavish tricks are insignificant in front of a pro player with true skills. 

    You can install whatever fancy mod but I will still boom faster than you (but with my cube trees of AbstractGUI of course) ;) 

    So these cheat scripts aren't really important. Fish/Irland/FallOut is OP regardless of whether he uses snipe script or not. A nub with some whacky script is still a nub.

    Therefore, kids, relax and play! Don't let cheaters scare you away.

    The entire idea of having ratings and accounts is undermined by endless smurf accounts. I don't know if going anonymous would be bad. But if the lobby moderators set the rule of no double accounts, then repeatedly breaking the rule is respect-less. Especially since those moderators are volunteers as well.

    No. 

    Firstly the ratings system is very biased and rarely reflects a player's actual skill. You are an exception because you play mostly 1v1. But the best TG players don't have their skills taken into account. That's why DoctorOrgans(1854) and FUBAR(1795) might get beaten up by NoobDude(1333) or reza-math(1377). So if you want to make ratings system reliable then you should take into account game modes other than just 1v1. Localratings is already better. If localratings can be applied lobby-wide then that would be great. 

    Secondly, players don't lose anything very important in making second accounts. In other games like PUBG and CoD, you would lose all of your stats, privileges, unlocked weapons, skins, etc...  But nothing significant is binded to one account apart from a meaningless rating number. The reward of second accounts is much greater than the losses, plus bans are rare, so we see many more accounts. 

    The rule has no effect. There is no difficulty nor sanction, so people ignore it. Why should anyone care about an empty rule which is totally useless and few people ever obey? 

    Here, if we see a red light, we just check if there are no cars and we just cross. I am often mocked by others for waiting for the green light.

    do you have any proof to support this claim?

    Stan, Norse_Harld are living proofs. I don't want to share screenshots of conversations between me and Norse unless he agrees. In one instance he said he had access to lobby logs. If you can't see the full lobby logs, then defcon my friend you have been blocked out by other mods. Stan also admitted that he is the admin so he can see the private group chats that he weren't in. My posts to the Sunday Pro TG were deleted by stan. Also go look in 0KD server. 

     

    don't lock this topic pls, I have more things to say.

    whats the supposed to mean

    It means, it's pretty easy to work out who is who based on when they connect to services, their IP and their chat style / play style. The forum moderators can also see all personal messages, so anything you say to anyone on 0AD forum is no secret; stan can see it if he wants. Lobby moderators have access to all chat logs. This is how stan found a forum account that I have only used three times and managed to merge it into me with Sevda. 

    Lesson of the day: if you want to say something private to your friend, use another means of communication, e.g. Element.

    New update: to reduce polygon count, I turned trees and starting berries into cubes. This reduces the number of rendering polygons from dozens to just 6 per tree. OP. 

    image.thumb.png.5bdb140d739b9645ce3a8b2950384abf.png

    Trees are just a first step. Everything's polygon count must be reduced to minimise lag. It's a balance between being able to identify things and the lowest polygon count possible. Currently working on: reduced mine polygon and unit polygon. Units are harder because I want them to be distinguishable without having too many polygons. Difficult...

    Having this shaved tree mod already raised my FPS from 60-70 of vanilla graphics to 92. This is because in many biomes, the trees are over complicated and consume huge amounts of processing as there are so many of them in the view range. 

    If I lower unit polygons further, there will be a bigger performance improvement, which is ideal for people with low end PCs and those who complain about lag in 4v4.

    you could also set the body decay time to 0 so that tons of dead bodies don't need to be kept track of. I think this is in template_unit.xml, not sure what else you would have to change.

    you can do this to in autociv, set max corpses to 0 and you won't have any corpses. 

    but we can start a new topic to discuss this

    it's easy to catch you via web access log.

    Norse has demonstrated to me the power of web access log. Thanks. Defcon also said that devs had knew all of my smurfs since the very beginning but just wanted to play me so they pretended that they didn't know. 

    Defcon also claims to be fishing a puppet master who is fooling everyone.

    Did I understand correctly, that Sevda and Helicity were sock puppets of @Yekaterina?

    I'd be very disappointed of you, Yekaterina. Behaviour like this separates communities.

    There is no rule saying that you are not allowed to make more than 1 forum accounts, so I made a bunch. You can also make more if you want, Obelix1, Obelix2, Obelix3...

    I would consider it as simple as your mainlog parsing or your trivial bots via XMPP

    Sad, yesterday I dreamt making a mod which displays some contents of mainlog as an overlay in the main window, and a Discord bot which allows Marc to interface 0KD with the lobby. Sadly when I woke up, non of them became real. :(

    Hi @G.O.A.T, all of Sevda's content has been merged into me. So if you have something to say to Sevda then you can say it to me. I think our chat record is still preserved on my side. 

    Stan deleted all of my other accounts on the forum and merged them all into one Giant Yekaterina - well played by him :D
