The trouble with ZeroPing mod

[HuFlungzeDung]

That's too bad about Counterstrike, I hadn't heard about that happening! That is really an irrelevant issue though, because I am talking about how well zeroping works with normal honest citizens using it, not hacked apparitions that everyone is so worried about.
In case you haven't been in on the previous discussions of ZP, I'd inform you that ZP is no cheat. It is a lot fairer game to any mixed lot of players than anything else I've played. I'd like to know if any Lpb's have documented the improvements that were supposed to be implemented in ZP beta?
I noticed that I have seen the timeout message on some of my shots: I get a message about how long the delay was and that my shot was invalid (or something to that effect).

If Jibe had taken the time to reskin the weapons and make them look like something other than the standard UT issue, I believe that people would be far more receptive to Zeroping. The way it is now, people have this misconception in their minds about how Jibe is trying to do the impossible and is messing with THE ALMIGHTY SERVER.
People would instead think, wow, this new "____" gun sure works great. It is not enough that it is called a zeroping sniper rifle. Players just can't see past their own prejudices. I would like to see zeroping implemented as standard gameplay. Is the beta version still unsuitable for the Lpb or what? Let's get a little heat out of this!

As far is my conserne, zero ping, may be banished to the mod graveyard. Maybe it cool for an HPB to give him the feeling he's good, but he is aqtual cheating in my opinion.

Every game, that uses clients side dessicions like kills, etc is open for cracks, just look what happend to Half-Life counterstrike, that game is totally sickened by headshot scrits, players bots with godlike skills, invisible wall etc etc, it all start there to with something like zeroping here
Coutersrike is now played as, who got the best working cheats, and has nothing to do with skills. fun great game now that CS.
Lets do that to UT too

He's part mechanic,
and part organic,
not a Cyborg.....
Call him .... XAN!!!!!

BloW_Smoke: I've put a lot of work into making sure the Zeroping Beta is no easier to hack than normal UT. Check out my FAQ to find out about zp's cheat protection: http://zeroping.home.att.net/faq.html

If you can find a way to hack Zeroping, post it here.
