For the sake of the great justice, separate rank tables of course!
Khetti, Sylvan! and jesus agree with Me (no surprise, Jesus is right).
defrag.ru offline rating tables separate exploited routes in different tables (nrjt and nrjt-OB, spacerun and spacerun-TR etc).
Learn from the Russians!
Not only wallbugs, but also timeresets should be separated (intentional random OBs remain at your choice).
Once the wallbug times get into separate tables, the exploit abusers shall have less interest in setting new wb-records. Because no newb can beat Arca for free anymore.
I'm sorry, but this is the worst argument/comparison.[gt]neiT. wrote:+left,-128 exploit, rjscript, cjscript = banned and more... Why there should be exception for wallbug?
The items mentioned above are not doable by hands.
I gave you Q3, DeFRaG, keyboards and mice, now go playh! Wallbugs are doable by hands, hence they are legit.
(Maps with intended WBs and "teach mappers" are good arguments too).
Only those who use modified software (and special hardware) should not appear in the common ratings.
You're wrong, go learn the history.[gt]neiT. wrote:wallbug is there only like 1year
Is wallbugging a bug? - Yes (no surprise).
Is strafejumping a bug? - Yes, I guarantee that it originates from bugs. Strafe techniques existed in q2, q1, and earlier in DOOM (the DOOM's strafe exploit is the weirdest and easy/fastest imo). ID tried to remove the strafe exploit, but all the players had already learnt it, so ID decided to make strafejumps modest and good-looking.
Are OBs, GBs, skimming, etc bugs? - Yes.
Can wallbugs provide much faster routes? - Yes.
Can other bugs mentioned above provide faster routes? - Yes, Defrag is all about finding those routes.
Can wallbugs be performed manually same as other bugs? - Yes.
So it is not about "bugs should be banned".
It is only about offending players that don't use WBs but stay in the same rank table. Indeed, sometimes wallbugs provide a much greater advantage than other tricks. Don't forget about maps with intentional WBs.
THEREFORE separate tables will administer justice: a wallbugger will not offend a pro strafer. Same statement is valid for timeresets.
Of course, it is hard to make the mod detect wallbugs on the server automatically. So manual detection with a delay time should take place.
<hk>, of course database redesign takes time. But wallbugs have been in defrag for years. Players can wait (is someone pushing you?)
P.S. Those who remain in the "ban wb" camp will
Amen.
