hacking in supcom

Postby Golol » 04 Jun 2013, 17:45

have there actually ever been any hacks or such stuff for supcom? ive wondered about that for a while.
i could imagine client side micro hacks that make all of your units dodge or focus fire without overkill.
have there never been incidents of hacks in gpg or faf times? i cant really imagine. every game has hacks xD.
and does faf have any anti hacking protections? or could there be selfmade micro hacks out there?

If any one attempts to manipulate unit behavior or resources or whatever on their side, the entire game will desync. It is very possible to "hack" SupCom, but since the game is P2P and runs on everyone's computers concurrently, if there is a difference in the code of one of the 4 players or whatever, the game gives the DESYNC error. That error means that either though lag or through code manipulation what is happening on the screen is not what should be happening in the simulation.

For FAF, this means that the game is no longer ranked and that you will be bugged by incessant messages.

I heared about UI mods that can give you intel advantage by looking at oponents income

there exist UI mod that automaticly turs on or off your mass fabs, depending on how much power you have

also dodge probably can be programmed as UI mod (select units, hit button and units start dancing until you give any other command or push button again, or even dance-move order, when units move and dodge slowly getting to locaton they need),

in Dune 2000 was a combination of butons that was made for infantry to dodge tanks that trying to move on them, was pretty usefull if tanks suddenly appers...

thing that makes overkill lower sound impossible, unless you make all projectives hit target all the time
