They are the cowards for using game hacks, absolute scum.

It would seem someone has figured a way around this module, I'm pretty sure I typed their name correctly "AltF4" yet when I tried to kick them it said player not found.

For context, this player used a macro during their turn which begins at 12:36. The point at which they used some macro was 13:17.

I immediately tried to kick them because I don't want to associate or play with any cheaters/scripters/macro users.

Anyway, it didn't work, and I had to quit the game to rehost so I could kick them from the lobby.

Attached is the replay.

Playoffs started! Good luck!

Xan, Wolf, Oli - If you guys haven't played tiebreaker by the deadline I will use the lottery wheel to pick 2 out of 3 to go forward.

If Sensei is stepping down at first point in KO, shouldn't replace him with runaway?(Who was next in line).

This is IMMEDIATELY what came to my brain when you said this:

Who is "fux"? they created their profile today lol, I thought you couldn't just make a new profile and join a Cup immediately anymore?

So 5 days left, waiting for Xan, Wolf and Oli to play.

Cup approved! Signups are open now!

Cup approved! Signups are open now!

Yeah I'm free tonight 

I'll keep an eye out here for any agreed times, and stream the matches as this is a nice Cup to stream!

Please PM me on TUS or Discord or in AG if you guys are about to play, if I am around I'm happy to stream!

Quote from: Aladdin on December 23, 2024, 05:44 PMSo, I have a question: So that module would be a cheat for using two or more spacebar on the wkRemapKeys ? By Steps

Good question, I like talking about this.

Objectively, it is not currently defined as cheating and is generally accepted in the community widescale. There are a number of players who use this and it's fine.  It is not considered a cheat because you still have to manually release one key before activating the next, therefor it's not exploiting the game in any way. It's another learning curve to learn how to use 2 spacebars although it's definitely got it's advantages if you can spend the time learning it properly with good timing.

Subjectively, If you're asking me, I personally don't like it and wish nobody did it though wouldn't consider it "cheating" as it doesn't break any rule. It isn't deceiving anyone by giving them extra abilities not available to anyone else. I personally find it less impressive.

wkRemapKeys is one of the most widely recognized modules and is even accepted here on TUS, in short, it's perfectly legal.

However, there are modules which are banned, such as wkWormOrder.

Technically speaking there are no rules against the things I mentioned earlier as well, so you can use extra peripherals like having more than 1 keyboard plugged in, a footpedal, or spam spacebar with the mousewheel. Though it's definitely another learning curve of it's own, it definitely has the potential to give a massive advantage at top tier roping.

Most video games these days come with built-in key remappers, Worms Armageddon doesn't so wkRemapKeys put it on par with modern games, it's a QoL module as opposed to an advantage over anyone else. Not to mention it's something most gamers find common in video games, being able to remap your keys. So you see many gamers asking "How do I remap the keys in Worms Armageddon" but you see nobody asking "How do I use a footpedal for WA?"

Most games do not encourage people to download apps to make their mouse wheel spam space for every click or to use extra peripherals like a foot pedal, in fact most of the time this would be highly inconvenient, but Worms Armageddon has a niche skillset with this where it DOES have an advantage.

Though I personally think they are extremely lame and abusive and therefore do not do them myself other than for educational purposes such as documenting these things so at least the community knows of possible ways for people to have "inhumane" taps with assistance from extra technology. I checked those things out of curiosity as opposed to wanting to gain an edge over other players and I posted about them in my Discord server over a year ago.

Even if people were using these methods I personally wouldn't consider it cheating(although it's very lame) because in my eyes they aren't using anything automated, everything they are doing is still manual.

Though, saying that, It is my personal opinion that I consider players who do the following as less impressive and having less physical skill:

• Finger rolling with 2 or more spacebars(Finger rolling on 1 spacebar is more impressive in my opinion and I'm ok with it).
• Using foot pedals.
• Using mouse wheel as spacebar.

---

My concern with THIS REPLAY specifically, is it looks like something automated is being used. As in you do one thing, it does multiple things and takes human timing out of the question for the duration of use. It looks like a combination of natural roping, with subtle use of some kind of script at certain moments, but in all honesty I have absolutely no definitive idea of what's going on, it's all assumption.

---

This is a pure assumption, though I'd love to do some real analysis some day... Maybe someone who is a programmer could help me? This is interesting to me.

The average roper will have something like 5-10 frames of accuracy, as they don't consider "taps" their peak skillset. So if your opponent can save 5-10 frames 50 times in a game that's potentially 5-10 seconds over an entire game, which is quite a lot if you take into account they couldn't save that time normally without using a script/program doing it for them. As it's EXTREMELY useful to have these quick double shot taps on climbs where you disconnect then connect the rope immediately the very next frame.

Quote from: TheKomodo on December 23, 2024, 03:19 PMI will extend the deadline by 1 week for the tiebreaker matches.

@FoxHound @Mega`Adnan @Big Billy

What's going on with your group? I see you've reported extra games.

We had tiebreaker. So Foxhound suggested to play again after losing to him.

Edit: Oh we have to play 1v1v1, didn't see.

Well, the 1v1v1 with other guys was a spur of the moment thing that they agreed on and I allowed it, but sure you guys can do 1v1v1 if you're all on together, if you guys DO find each other send me a PM if on Discord as I'd like to stream it if possible!

I will extend the deadline by 1 week for the tiebreaker matches.
