Registration date: 2009-07-20

Building Bars,

Do you believe they are advantage or non-advanatge? or would you go as far to say they are cheats?

Discuss.

Lol everyone who uses it prob says it's non-advantage ;p

Imo,
it's advantage, maybe even a 'cheat'.

Because you are able to see more of the game than other players,
noone is watching 'K' (if that's the button for watching the building hp) everytime,
I, myself, hardly uses the K button.

In times of a stank rush for example,
you AIN'T pressing 'K' to watch building hp,
but with the bars, you can see 'oh that building is weekened!' 'let me tell my team ATTACK THAT STRUCTURE'

But oh well,
if people need more info than others because less skill,
let them^^

I think it's more a challenge to use LESS info than default,
because you get more skilled in a way.

I think advantage because now you can just take a look at the building health

while walking and you see if there are enemies you see everything.

With the K button you have to stand still and look really over the whole page.

But I like Building Bars.

Advantage, but so see if it is a cheat, you first need to discuss about the definition of a cheat.
A cheat gives a player an advantage uppon another player.
The buildingsbars do give an advantage. So they would be cheats.
But then again so do clar sniper scope, shell emitters, vehicle lamp emitters, stealth skins, reticle skins etc..
Much of those are widiely accepted in renegade and not counted as a cheat.
The buildingbars are on the edge between a cheat and a advantage skin. They are an advantage skin, but they are not widely accepted in renegade. So it's your own opinion to decide what they are.
You can discuss this endless with 100 of pages, but in the end it wouldn't help anything.
Then again, the gps hud also gives a great advantage, with doublenuking for example or tunnelnuking. So why doesn't the renegade community flame on the gps hud? I think it is because off all the people who show off with their buildingbars, others get jealus and started screaming they shouldn't be allowed, the gps hud is released (by different people) and is now accepted, maybe if hte buildingbars get released and everyone can use them, that would even it out again, and removing the unfair advantage.

wanna know why? cause when its public everyone can get it, and then it would be "accepted" by most people, as it no longer will give some players the advantage, cause then everyone got the same stuff. or atleast the bb's. but theres one massive problem here, ONLY the pro skinners or the one with good connection gets teh BB, creating the advantage/cheat which people say today. I personally would like if the BB never existed, but i'd probably use it if i got my hands on it.

You need more programming skills than skinning skills to create the bb.
But then again, there is a second thing. Like everyone can get rgh to, so following that conclusion rgh wouldn't be a cheat to.

Here is my take on it.

It is defiantly advantage and anyone who says other wise is full of it. First hand experance with them i and tell what is being hit right away and what needs repair right away, because no one (no matter what you say) button mashes "K" every 2 seconds. I can intantly find out what building is hit, and to be honest, i love it.

Until it is said to be cheat by Jelly-Serv then only will i stop using them. but other wise, im keeping them.

WubWub! hah love your name lol
anyway, ITS a little advantage for servers with SSGM, sometimes EVA dont says when a Building gets attacked (little bug) and by using HP Bars you see when its damaged but heh, i dont care lol

Registration date: 2009-05-22

Yep mrackz

for instance n00bless says when a building is low health or damaged

True, but i play in Jelly and in jelly most of the pro's hit 1 building to get that message to pop up then attack another. With bb you can tell which building they're hitting right away

And how about: clear scope, bright skins fo rsnipers/ mines/ timeds/ remotes, reticles, stealth effect skins, using f8 toggle_sorting on islands????
Buildingbars should be between thos ein my opninion.

It's a bug, that gives you an unfair advantage in the isladns tunnels. It is solved by rr though.
