CALCLIENT.cfg is an excellent idea, but I hope I can still edit things like my rate and continue to use my one button to buy ammo and a HE. I can live without the silly bind, but I am very curious to know what my limitations are.

[MikeJ]

I just looked at it and it doesn't have anything to do with buy scripts, mostly netcode tweaks and such. I'm still using rze's CS helper. By the way is it cal-i only? I don't see anything about it on the intermediate page, didn't check the others.

a little bit off topic but who says that the GotFrag forum people are complete idiots? this is probably the best thread i've ever seen of actually helpful people:

back on topic though, does that link to the calclient.cfg work for anyone now? it wont connect or timeout for me.. nvm i got it.

[orion]

I hope CAL enforces it for all divisons. I play in Main, so I'll probably have to use it, but CAL-Open clans are probably be to stupid to know how to use it. The team with RCON should be able to execall calclient.cfg and enforce it.

[MikeJ]

We're in cal-im playoffs so with any luck we'll be main next season too. I would like to see it used division wide though it seems a lot better than just detecting illegal configurations, it sets all the restricted config variables for you and eliminates the problem at the source.

[DarkZeratul]

I have an innocent question, don't make fun of me. Why can't the players just exec their own config again? What I mean is, what is preventing them?

[MikeJ]

because it's



A. blocked



B. would show up on demos

[cHic0!]

blocked as in "blocked by WWCL"...

[lockhart]

WWCL is crap. It's incredibly easy to bypass, as shown by kSpro bypassing it just so he doesnt get motion sickness. the calclient.cfg is extremely difficult to get by. EXTREMELY difficult, only an outside hook can get around it right now: the deal is, it takes ss of your commands, and u need to be rolling your demo before, so CAL will see if you do any bypasses like changing it to echos or something. there are so many misconceptions about it, its funny when everyone's like CLIENTSIDEOMGITSBAD! the MAJOR positive about it is that you no longer need WWCL on your server, which means you can run a 'pure' server free of metamod. i don't care if they said they fixed the bugs, it's still a plugin that can lag.

I think they should remove cl_bob from the client for people like kSpro who get motion sickness, but keep the bobcycle and bobup things in; that way they don't get an unfair advantage by being able to see over things, and they don't get an unfair disadvantage by getting motion sickness from the gun bob.

it puts you in developer mode and changes all of the blocked variables so if you put them in aliases they don't work.

MikeJ: Question for you. Did the Cubs have to forfiet the game that Sammy was caught in? Nope they kept the win. And from what I have read this was the second time they tried to replay the match. The first time TEC couldn't field 5. So get off your stump.

[MikeJ]

That's different because guess what, sammy's bat broke and he didnt get any runs. If kspros score was, oh say 0-12, then you might actually have a point. But he was #1 fragger on his team BOTH ROUNDS with something like over 50% of the total kills. And with baseball it's clear cut when the advantage is there or not. If he hit any home runs or what have you with the soon to be discovered corked bat you can bet that any scoring that resulted from those hits would be discounted. It's impossible to tell what frags may have resulted from any advantage kspro may or may not of had and seeing as he basically won the match for them it's only fair it not count.

[Dirk]

If he got bloody motion sickness from a damn gun bobby a little on his screen he couldn't ride in cars or even walk. So please stop with the motion sickness bs.

[Unreal Dante]

That's why his motion sickness reason never made sense to me. Anyone who has motion sickness can never play FPS's as they are the worst. If he has motion sickness from his gun bobbing then how is he able to speed around and play a game that makes you feel like your moving?

[MikeJ]

you can't get motion sickness staring at a 17 inch monitor. the huge huge area around the monitor clearly lets your brain know that you aren't moving...unless he plays CS on an imax screen.

I don't get motion sickness anywhere. But does anyone remember Descent? My dad, who gets motion sickness pretty bad, (rhyme!) played that for like 10 minutes and he was sick. If the gun isn't bobbing like that, it can make a huge difference. On top of this, the Sammy Sosa analogy makes ZERO sense, as Sosa using a corked bat gives him an unfair advantage, whereas having your gun not bob does not give anyone an unfair advantage.
