I'm being framed

August 16, 2006 2:38:33 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums


Hello people

This is proably a stupid question but anyway

Every time i post my score i get a big red flag next to my post saying
"You cheated you bastrad"
I've deleted all of my mods and redone my custom race with racial abilities
below 10 points but it still says i cheated

if anyone has a answer tell me

Thankyou
metaverse

I didn't think your scores qualified on the metaverse if you were using ANY Mods in the game

Normally, the game won't let you start a Metaverse game if "enable mods" is checked in the setup so that shouldn't be an issue.

I believe the "cheater flag" checks if any of the stock game files have been modified. There's a file called gc2.xml in the xml directory that contains checksums and time stamps.

If you've modified one or more of the game's stock files, you'll probably have to uninstall the game, remove any files left behind, and reinstall the game to stop getting flagged.

If you want to play heavily modded games (where stock files have been altered), you might try running two installations, a stock one for Metaverse and a modded one for tinkering.

One of the Betas also set the cheat flag, so if you are playing that particular Beta, upgrade to the newest full release (unless you like playing with Betas, then upload the latest Beta)

I am on 1.3 beta 2a and I submitted my first game last night and I have a cheat flag set. I don't use Mods at all so it must be the beta, I guess i won't submit any metaverse games untill the beta patch becomes official.

No idea what it is until you post the debug.err. It shouldn't be the beta.

1.3 beta does cause the 'cheat flag' at present. Not sure if this is to be fixed for 1.3b3 or not.

DG is right it is the beta! I just told about it to Cari, I really want to download the beta because of the planet lights fix, but I don't want my games to appear with a "Cheating Flag"!

Full version is sometime next month, from what I've heard.

The XML ability files were edited for 1.3 due to a missing loyalty option that, when fixed, caused the custom race to have an illegal bonus. It's not very likely to be that, but it IS an XML alteration, so it might be possible.

Right: To test, please zip the savegame and your raceconfig files, and send them to carielf@stardock.com, not forgetting the subject title and description of what it's for, or the spam-stop-thing will eat it.

Everything not hard coded, yes. But doing so voids your ability to play metaverse.

I think every little change will make the cheating flag to appear, so the best thing is to put all your mods in the mods folder, not in the original file

I am adding a message dialog to let you know if your race config is invalid so that it can be edited.

Sorry I am new to Metaverse so I don't totally understand what you are saying. Will this message appear before we start the game, after we have selected our options? If so how can I fix my custom race so that it is not invalid?

The would be good if the cheat flag would notifiy you *before* starting a Metaverse game. That would really torque me to play a whole game only to find it's flagged after I submit it.

Thanks for adding that.
