GPL Cheats!

The original code for GPL set the hp for each car. Changing this value changes the car! Why alter this? [1] BECAUSE you are not as fast as the posted Hot Shoes! [2] You do not want to invest the time to go faster. The solution: [1] Invest the time and analysis of your individual driving style. [2] Use the GPL Calc program [link on our editing links page]. [3] Become a C++ programmer and you can change anything in the game you want to. Of course at that point why bother with GPL at all just create your own sim. [4] Follow the posts at Turn 1: sooner or later someone will post the location of the code in question.

First of all, this all sounds more like a pathetic attempt to try and drum up some hits on your site than genuine concern for the GPL community. That said, the cheat code 'evidence' Chipper posted about a driving robot of some sort is laughable at best. If he's not making it up entirely then his friend pressed V or Shift-V while sitting on the grid and was then 'riding' with one of the AI cars as it made it's laps. His car would have been sitting still, waiting for him to return (cycling through the drivers with V and Shift-V or by just pressing CTRL-V). That's not to say it's impossible to hack the game to gain some advantage (there's really no way to ever entirely eliminate this kind of 'cheating' from a game). If someone wants to do this in single player mode than more power to them. It's really none of anyone's business and they should be able to play the game however the hell you want to. However if in order to feel good about themselves they have to try and cheat in a multiplayer game in the hopes that someone they don't even know might think they're a better player than they really are, then they've got some serious issues they need to deal with...

[2] You do not want to invest the time to go faster. And please... If you are able to do this (it's actually quite easy to do for any good Papyrus editor here in the community), please do not do this for online racing. Keep it offline. The client/server architecture is quite IMHO lacking in terms of cheater protection. AFAIK they probably thought that simracers would not do such a thing, but there's always some lamers who will try to do this just to be good online. You only cheat yourself when doing this. -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

What AI cars???????????? Not with us.............. <drivel cut> We all know this, this is off topic on what my post was about.......a diversion on your part. I stated exactly what happened as it happened...........That is all. Chipper

There will always be guys who cheat. I have raced against them for real and its funny since whent hey get protested and thrown out they still proclaim they are fast. Funny deal is they are talking more to themselves then anyone else. Winning by cheating has never been winning. It is just a way for a person to try to fell better about themselves. Kinda like the bully in school who made fun of others so he could feel better about himself. -- David Robinson Egan's Law The Pace car will always go 2 MPH slower then your race car idles in first gear.
