Custom Map: SPIFFENs Speed

[Matt]

Yeah, it's pretty lame for people to do it that way. Kind of defeats the point of the game. Why bother? Some illusion of glory?

[UpperKEES]

Please note that this 'script' does nothing else than pause the game, play for a fraction of a second and pause again. It's exactly the same as tapping your 'p'-key twice quickly when in paused mode.

You still have to play the game the way you do yourself. The script does nothing else for you. It is only useful when bridging over crazonium walls, which can be done manually as well. It's a kind of tedious micromanagement that most people don't like, hence the script.

On maps without crazonium it's of no use, just like on maps with double crazonium walls (which can't be bridged), so more than 95% of the maps this isn't used. Fast times are just set by playing carefully: planning ahead of time, being able to determine what weapons and how much energy you'll need and building without a deficit. I don't use above mentioned script myself (as I don't like maps with crazonium), but I have no problems when other players do. I consider it 'automation', not 'cheating'.

I don't care if they do it, it just seems lame. Play the game straight or what's the point?

[UpperKEES]

So what's the definition of playing 'straight'? Bridging was never intended by the creator of the game. Yet most people do it when attempting to obtain a high score (or have at least tried to do so). Many new keyboards and mouses allow the user to define actions for certain keys, so what's the difference? With this script it's possible for anybody to use this functionality, even when you don't have the most modern equipment.

If you don't like it, just don't use it. It's not the script itself that results in fast times; it's the technique of bridging that does.

Hey man didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Let's just agree on two things.

1) It's your right to play however you wish.
2) It's my right to think using computer scripts to get bogus scores is lame.

Everybody wins.

No worries mate.  8)

Yeah, let's agree on that. :)

Only people who bridge a little more often.... ;D

roccologic, i think you can use more difficult programs...

[roccologic]

i play it with my script but also need ~30min to play

pressing "O" then 5x positon chance then pressing "O" then 5x positon chance, .... this is horrible and not funny



Bevore i make this script i play with "P" -> "P" but at this map its horrible with or without script (without you must make some breaks for a coffee  ;)).


PS: time information are valued, play this map for longer time.
