I. Introduction Cheating in Day of Defeat is quite easy when you learn the fundamentals of cheating. They consist of situational awareness, knowledge of your config, the ability to control your recoil, intimate knowledge of the map at hand, prediction of the other team, being highly aggressive, taking the long shots, and an acute reaction time. All these are very cheap and require absolutely no skill whatsoever. You don’t even have to download them; all you have to do is develop habits over a long period of playing Day of Defeat, say since beta 2.1. Now, real cheaters have been playing since beta 1.0. II. Situational awareness To be aware of your situation you must pay attention to three important factors of gameplay: sight, sound, and flag capture. Sight is highly important to this game, and relatively easy. If you see an enemy you know to shoot him or react to him as the situation calls for. This is a very cheap tactic, using your eyes that is. But, seeing the enemy isn’t always easy. Sometimes they hide and prone in dark corners with an almost religious dedication; God must have commanded them to prone. Or, they might be hiding behind that corner with a spade/knife. If you can’t see him, you don’t know he is there? Right? Wrong. Assume he is there anyway; look in every nook and cranny, when rounding corners, look at them, when running in a plaza, look around you. LOOK! Sound is also very important, but harder to take advantage of. My suggestion is buy a good USB mic headset. Going to Best Buy or newegg.com is a very cheap hack. All you have to do is pay money and install some hardware, and BAM you are already better! Then bind a key to stopsound (see III Know Your Config). Renember, using console commands that the dev team hasn’t omitted is a cheap cheat. After doing this, you may want to mute the entire server if you are in a pub, this can be done two ways. One is to type in your console “voice_enable 0.” The other is to go to your playerlist in the main menu, and select which players you want to mute. Muting people will help you focus on sounds. Learn which texture of the map makes what sound. Renember, learning from experience and error is a nub hacker move. If you can hear someone, you can prepare, and react to them, giving you an edge. Wallshooting is quite easy when you use your ears, usually to shoot someone, you need to be able to see them, but if you can hear them and you can have a pretty accurate estimate of where they are, you can still shoot them, providing the wall is soft (see V Map Awareness). Flag captures are a very telling way of knowing where the enemy is. Sometimes this is called a wallhack. If an enemy is capturing/has just captured a flag, then they must be at or near that flag still. You know where they are, without having to see or hear them, and you can choose how to engage them as seen fit. The indicator of a flag capture can be seen in figures 1 and 2. Fig. 1; Fig. 2; Fig. 1 shows a multicap in process. Meaning at that flag location there is 1 guy I know of, and I can bet that there will be more soon. Fig. 2 shows a single cap, meaning that anywhere from 1 to 16 people might be at that flag. Looking up in the left hand corner of your screen is a cheat. III. Know Your Config Know your config. A config is a text listing off all your keyboard and mouse bindings and console variables. The filename is config.cfg and it is located in your dod folder. Using notepad.exe to edit config.cfg is something only script kiddies use. Basically, tweaking your config is highly important. This is where you can make things easier for you. If you have used a different setup in all your other games, you can use this to make the controls more at home to you. For example, most people in FPS games use the “wasd” movement scheme; I have used “asdf” ever since I switched from gravis gamepads to trackball mice back in quake. Previous gaming experience is also know as “practice hacking.” There are many important variables that the dev team has allowed you to customize. Customizing things that dev team allows is called “legit cheats.” Here is a short list of the more important and common, aside from movement keys. • hud_fastswitch 1- this allows you to skip selecting the weapon and just hit a number for it to switch weapons. • lastinv- allows you to bind a key so that you can quickly switch back to your last used weapon. • sensitivity-this allows you to set the mouse sensitivity as you see fit. • stopsound-as previously mentioned, this stops background noise. • cl_autoreload 0-this stops any automatic reload. • drop_ammo- this drops ammo, which sounds like you are priming a nade. • cl_allowdownload 0-this stops useless wav files from being downloaded onto your machine. • There are more, but I am lazy, looks like you have to use “figure it out for yourself hack v1.0” IV. Point and Click and Controlling Recoil. Point and Click, if you can master this, you can aim. When aiming at an enemy with a rifle, it is imperative that you cease moving right before you fire, this will give you best accuracy, and then after firing move around some more. I call these snapshots and they can make all the difference at long ranges. Don't worry too much about actually crouching, it really isn't nessicary unless you want to control recoil better. Stopping momentarly to gain accuracy is an obvious cheat. It is called the "standing still" exploit. When aiming with an automatic weapon, cease all movement before your first shot, and stay stationary-ish if at mid range. Maybe crouch for recoil control. If you are in close proximity to your opponent, begin strafing around your enemy after the first few rounds, all the while controlling your recoil as you aim for the head. People that strafe and shoot at the same time exploit every bug known to God. Controlling recoil is simple. Move mouse in opposite direction of recoil. I use a trackball, so controlling recoil can be tricky for me, so I like to aim for the head or legs. That way, I either get you on the first shot, or I let the recoil march up your body. Using your mouse is cheap. V. Map Awareness Know every square pixel of the map. Learn different routes to different points, which walls can be shot through, how nades react on it. Learn each sound that the texture makes you can id where friend and foe are located at. Learn which shadows usually have pronestars. Learn ambush points. Learn the neat tricks like how to jump from Ava w/o any damage. Pixels are cheats. VI. Knowing Your Enemy Learn to predict their movements. Carefully analyze your team and the opposing team’s behavior. Figure out who uses what route to get to where and where is the best spot to take him down. If a sniper always goes to a certain spot and has a certain field of fire, don’t expose yourself and outflank him. VII. Misc. The rest I cannot give much more insight other than, do it! Be aggressive. Take the long shots. Learn from mistakes. Develop a decent reaction time. Don't stop moving. VIII. Conclusion Well, there you have it, my guide to cheating in Day of Defeat. I’m leaving it open ended so that others may suggest insights for me to add. And remember the most important rule of cheating; if someone is better than you - he cheats.

So this guy I've been talking to on the steam forums has been working for the last year trying to get a drivable, shootable tank for DoD:S. He's very close to finishing, just a few bugs to work out, since valve made it close to impossible to actually pull this off. He hopefully will be finished with it soon, and as soon as it's ready, I'm going to make a map, specifically with this in mind. The tank is destroyable by shooting it with 2 rockets in the front or side, or 1 rocket in the rear. (disables the tank and kills the passengers) It then respawns just like a player would. It also has two compartments, driver and gunner, who both have controls over the tank. The driver can move the tank forwards, backwards, left and right while the gunner can turn the turret 360 degrees and raise or lower the cannon and fire it. Also, the turret is in a seperate compartment, so the gunner is free to move in any direction while the driver stays stationary. If this actually ends up working out in game, it will bring a whole new aspect to DoD:S and a new set of possibilities to map making. I ,for one, can't wait!! Btw, he made that entire tank from scratch, that isn't a pre exsisting model in the game. Front view showing viewing windows. Drivers View: Gunner's View:

Me too...

So what are your screennames? So I can add you.

Part 1 Part 2 Very Moving Stuff.

Led Zeppelin - 10 Years Gone If you've never heard it, shame on you, go listen, if you have, go listen anyways. Hands down one of the best songs written by one of the greatest bands ever.

I've been playing on this site since 2001 and was curious if I was the only one here who did http://www.pogo.com There is all sorts of games on there, pool, poker, dominoes, chess, bowling, baseball, golf, you name it. If any of you decide to play there, add me as a friend, AllenFord01 Oh and this is a challenge, I will destroy any of you at any pool game on there, 8 ball, 9 ball, cut-throat. Bring it on.

Yeah......

So after much debate on what I should spend money on, (either saving for a new car or rebuilding my PC, yet again) I decided to mozy on over to newegg and see what was cookin. After having many video card issues as of late, (one of my 8800gts cards fried and the other is limping around like a hooker who stole from a pimp) I checked in on the latest warez from eVga, the only company I buy cards from. I like what I see. I like it very much. My new setup, hopefully will be getting built in the next month or so and here it what I see in my future: Case: Antec 900 (Already own but may upgrade to the Antec 1200.) CPU: Intel E8400 (Upgrading to the new i7 950) Power Supply: PC Power and Cooling 1000W (Swapping this out for a Corsair HX1000 because I need the bigger rails for my new graphics cards.) Video Cards: 8800gts 640MB (Swapping to 2 GTX 285 FTW Editon Cards. Quad-Sli anyone?) Memory: 8GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 (Upgrading to 12GB of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600. Yes I said 12 GB, The new Motherboard has 6 Memory slots.) Mother board: eVga 780i tri-Sli board (Upgrading to eVga E760 Classified to handle the new CPU.) Should run me right about $2,350.00 without the new case, around $2,500.00 with it. I am gonna destroy some framerates with this beast.

SS or it didn't happen...

1045.1 Suck it Trebeck!

804 on the second game 577 on the first one... Without steriods too.....

Sign surfing is fuuunnn

Not bad Le. A tad large, but all in all I'll give it 7/10.

Try giving your monitor some Heroin, should slow it down a little.

Slipknot - Vermillion Pt. 2

Excellent.

It's obvious that guy is over 16, that's not the point. And as far as the maturity isssue goes, Maturity isn't why our age restriction is in place. We have an enviroment around here that isn't suitable for children. Constant swearing, most of our get-togethers, meetings, and debauchery take place long after the little kiddies go night night. No one said you have to be mature to join our unit, but you do, and always will, have to be 16. Period.

Awesome. Evian spelled backwards is Naive. Coincidence? Or does paying $1.49 for a 20 ounce bottle of water make you naive?

refresh all your pages tard...

don't take this the wrong way Zahl, but will you marry me?

OMFG....... Le is on YouTube

On a different note, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK SMITHERS?!?!?!?!?!

But isn't spam a food product which would categorize it as Mess?
