--> Own binary modifications

[<hk>]

Since, not everyone seems to be pleased with the current server rules i suggest we develop new rules for the server here in this thread. Please try to find rules that have as least exceptions as possible. I want this to be constructive, so please make short posts which concentrate on essential things. Stay on Topic and do not spam.

Should it be allowed to modify the quake binary your self?

Note: We are not talking about pre compiled quake binarys that are available on the various sites.

This is a no go. There are tons of ways to get advantages by modifying your quake binary. For instance the -128 cheat and modifications to replay offline demos online require adaption of the quake binary. There are ways around that but those require massive workarounds. Those should be banned too.

Ok, wtf is this "-128 cheat"? :p

A way to get 1/127 more speed in certain occasions. Nothing fancy but it's enough to get a very good time on test_bigbox.

It's not necessarily cheating.

I'm not so well versed in this area. So, what legitimate things could such a rule clash with?

Hmmm, I think you'll have to clarify what you mean by "own binary modifications". I thought you just meant own dfengine versions etc.

"Custom executable are not Quake 3" (C) Camping_Gaz (this means even DFEngine)
Only quake3.exe allowed. Case closed. If yoiu want to quick ALT-TAB then use Minimizor 1.8.

We will never know what people will invent to cheat.

Aww Alien, stop being so brutally paranoid.

Would you please care about finding a proper rule text? People seem to agree that this should be banned.
