16bit .vs. 32 bit
hello everyone
well first time around and i have been checking for ideas on 16/32 bit
well many people complain that people "hack" when using 16 bit. well i wanna stop that. i wonder if any1 could creat or if it already out there a mutator that kicks the player when entering and when playing while using 16 bit. and give them a message saying "go to preferences and chance ur settings to 32 bit before u play here".
well thanx for ur time and if any suggestions please contact me

I really dislike this. Because some (older) graphics cards are limited to running in 16bit. (I myself played on 16bit for 4 years)
The idea that someone is cheating if he uses 16bit is just nonsense.

My old PC lagged like a bitch when I used 32 bit. I know a lot of people who use 16.

Yeah, but we still need a mutator to force them to set the contrast and brightness to our specifications, and what about the people using these over size monitors?
I mean come on! Is it fair for them to use a 24" monitor when I am using a 17"? If the mutator detects a monitor over 17", or a video card with more then 64 megs of ram, it should automatically kick them and ban them from all servers permently for cheating. Fair is fair, but using better hardware then me is cheating!

Well ye I understand that. But to me, 16 bit and 32 bit looks pretty much the same. Except that on some custom rifle servers, the scope does not show with 16 bit.

16bit / 32 bit
Allthow 16 bit is an option in the game, we would like to have an option to let the server only to be played upon in 32 bit.
That way we wont have to deal with all the blabla 16 bit "cheaters"bull.
Yes 16 bit is not a cheat, but it would be nice to have a mod to choose.

Yeah it does depend a lot on the card - my old TNT2 used to be uplayable in 32bit

no i am not saying that
i am just saying how is there justification if u can bend the game to gain an advantage, when maybe using skill is more honorable way
and my friend u can use 16 bit in any map, no matter how good its done
especially if u use an old vid card for ex. a voodoo card
know its an old post but lately i am seeing more and more people using 16 bit to gain an advantage and its a lame way to win
just because a game has some faults in it doesn't mean u have to use it
the makers made the game to play it properly
you mise well lump it in with helios , because whats the difference between finding a weakness in the game and making a script to exploit it or taking an old vid card and exploiting a weakness in a texture so u can see around a corner or through a wall . there is no skill in either when it comes to game play, just a weak player trying to use something to make others think he or she is good ( no honour)
and please no excuses about thats all i can afford because now adays u can buy a good vid card at a very cheap price
and remember you have your opinion and i have mine , thats why its call freedom of choice

I used 16 bit on my old PC because it gave me a higher fps. Not once have I seen the effect you mention in any stock map.
I have seen it in one particular map that has camper positions where you can see through the wall from the inside. I dont know the name of the map.
You might not like that people can do this, but calling random players cheaters because they can see though those walls is imo just wrong. I have seen how this matter is handled in some zark forums, so I know there is no use in discussing it (and here I am assuming that you are part of the zark/camper sniper community). I think that in stead of hanging out these players as cheaters, they should modify their rifle to stop it. Make it display a big black square or something when you zoom in 16 bit, so that people have to use 32 bit to see their target. If people understand why that happens, they will change it. If they dont understand it, they will leave the server.

understand you pizzaman, just frustrating when u know someone intentionally sets it up to use it to abuse it
as for running 32 bit gun, u can still bypass it but not zooming out very much
aall has been done to fix but it still gets bypassed
spectated a match recently where a player was using this to give out positions to other players and then even took out 4 players himself using it
in most game types its not a issue except like u said zark/camping

There is now a mod that will reset color depth. You can find this in the UT forum.
