Have you hacked a game before?

Does deleting system32 count???

While I'll argue that the effort spent doesn't really validate ruining someone's fun,
I did also use the mentioned Rakion hacks I did just to mess around in the free for all DM mode. I didn't go around murdering everyone, and people were even wondering how fast I could throw bombs or shoot fireballs.

The key is modesty. To draw from an anecdote, I was once on a TF2 server where a hacker essentially took over the game. But he only did so for about half a round, and put on a good show while doing it. That was fine by be, because it gave me a good laugh, and I was entertained and intrigued the whole time. However, on the flip side, I can recall once playing on a server on BuildAndShoot where a hacker had managed to lock everyone on my team in our spawn room and repeatedly throw grenades at us, leaving us helpless. He did so for a couple games before I finally left. The entire ordeal was incredibly cheap and lacking in showmanship. That was a bad hack, homebrewed or not.

I might even say I'm not necessarily against script-kiddies. It's just that whenever I see them hack, they always do so in an incredibly cheap and unoriginal way. If you are going to hack, either don't interfere with other players in a major way, or interfere in a creative, original way. Homebrew hackers just tend to be more creative, since they are the ones with the creativity to create the hack in the first place.

I typed impulse 101 on the console in Half Life

you'll never catch me alive!!

I hacked on C&C renegade online games.
It was stupid easy. You just used the official modding tools to create a project where you could define whatever properties on weapons or vehicles you wanted, exported it to a specific format, then threw that file in your game folder, and then you could have characters that cost no money, weapons that do 999999 damage, etc.
There was no official anti cheat software of any sort. There was a third party plugin that would kick you from the server if it detected added files, but you had to download and install the client on your own computer yourself, and if you didn't, all the game server did was throw a pop-up alert at you every few minutes asking you to install it


I went through a ton of MapleStory alt accounts too, but I only just fooled around in low level zones. I don't believe I ever hacked up to even level 30


That was back when I was like 12 or so, though.
Hacking online games and running other people's matches isn't fun to me anymore

a long time ago i felt really cool cause i used a cheat engine to make Blockland run really fast back in the free version before there was a timescale command (or maybe it was always there and i just didn't know about it until Retail)

There was always a timescale variable that the host could change via console. Just not a slash command until retail

Yeah servers eventually started to force users to have RenGuard.
What bothered me about RenGuard is that for about the first half of the time I spent playing Renegade, big head models were not considered cheating despite the rest of the community wanting it gone. Getting headshot from behind a big rock was never fun.

That's hilarious. I always wanted to try and get some Perfect Dark maps loaded into blockland, but at the time I had no idea how I would even pull that off. *cries*

i cant remember the name of it, but i used to have this program that essentially acted as a printscreen function for directx. you could literally copy any scene from anything that used directx to display itself, and then save it to any standard modeling format. i used it to rip animal crossing and soul caliber assets all the time, and it worked so well. the rips where clean and all my models looked just like they did in-game

if anyone knows what im talking about hit me up with the name again. id love to use it again

Are you sure?
I swear I remember using cosmetic skins and Renguard wouldn't let me

1f=31=11111
20=32=100000
etc

it's just a base 15 number system instead of the standard base 10 we're so used to

edit: added binary for the sake of number scale comparison (binary being base 2, of course)

[Im_Gay.avi]

I used a skin changer in CS:GO and PAYDAY 2 once, if that counts as hacking

The skins weren't in my inventory, I was the only person who could see it

Thx man u save my life. Maybe now i can replace the Link's sword with a carrot

EDIT:
Serious though.

If any of you guys want to get started in Rom Hacking, i'd recommend you reading this manual first.

i downloaded a program that gave me 100000000 robux and now u can too!!!!!

go to: imalovingsuckerforrobuxhavemy robloxpassword.xyz for free robux!

base 16, because there are 16 symbols, 0-9 (10 symbols), a-f (6 symbols)
base X has X symbols in it

Cosmetic skins should've only been warned about, and only disabled in 'pure' servers. But maybe you started playing after I quit or something. I remember people complaining to them about bigheads.
