about keyboard macros-Is a "hack" or not? - X-Lancer - 01-19-2008
the keyboard macro can allow you to fire your weapon like NPC's battleship (their turret are not fire all together..)..which is something only can happen if you switch weapon groups like mad.but if you use a keyboard macro program, you can done that easily...according to rules..you are not allow to use any software to change the normal gameplay..so..
is that counte by cheating?

I am afraid it is... If you want to chain your weapons, get some practise, play with your key-settings and after some training you will get nice refires without much work...

Allowing such software wouldnt be quite fair would it now? For example:
Guy A gets this software.
Guy B has trained for ages getting to the level of the software, no cheap tricks.
Guy A faces guy B. Guy A wins due to his superior firing " skills ".
Guy B gets mad and starts a crusade on the forums.
This is an example out of a thousand. So, think of your own awnser. Im sure ittl be the same as the admin's.

Tough one...
But u can simply make 2 weap groups and activate half the weaps in one and other half in second group.
Or 3 or 4 groups, as u prefer...
Then activate 1 group and fire, after about 0.5- 1 sec just activate another group and so on(do this only
once).
Dont at any point release trigger.

Weapons will fire mostly like those of NPC BBs.

I use 6 weapon groups on all my fighters, switching quickly beteen them is simply a matter of defining your keys to suit your preference. It's not hard.

Can the server rules be updated to allow an exception for DBoy's "mod"?
Note that I'm using the .exe version, so I don't have a problem myself.:D

My GLS mod is allowed, it is the exact same thing as the EXE application, except it works in FLMM instead of a setup application. I never liked applications that I couldn't remove afterwards, so I made that. Use the EXE if ya want, both do the exact same thing anyway.
Now, as for the Macro business, the answer is easy to understand...

However, I haven't had any problems with the .exe version.

nah. if you do this..you don't have any hand to make your ship to strafe to dodge enemy fire..which is not worth to do it..and it need to switch very very fast and is craszy...
