author=LockeZauthor=Mr_Detective"Cheating" style hacking is most often done not because the game sucks, but because the opponent is unfairly better. In a single-player game, these two issues are actually the same thing, but in a multi-player game, they're totally different.author=Vegeta 's wifeBased on that logic, then every game, especially competitive games, in the world sucks because they all have people hacking. Just because we have pathetic players hack doesn't make a game bad. If a game is poorly designed, leave it and play something else. If a player sucks at a game, try to get better by practicing. There is no point in wasting time hacking and ruining other people who are having fun. :)
poorly designed games have a lot of people sucking on them, and thus lots of people will hack.
I have seen plenty of hackers in FPS games, and most are excellent, well designed games. I am sorry to know what happened to you in MS, but I understand how the admins thought you were hacking. The excuse "I hate this game because it sucks in my opinion, which I think is fact so I hack it" that some people use is really dumb. :|

FFVI sucks.
Heh, that's a totally different type of hacking - that's game design.
Actually, when you think about it, cheating is a type of game design too. You're making a new game that you think is either more fun, fun in a different way, or just a nice change of pace from the original. In that sense we should encourage cheating, at least in single-player games.
If a game encouraged cheating, then surely they would have an option for it.

Hold the Line!
I like the game - but one thing you could fix is the mouse. It goes ballistic when I move my mouse an inch.

S'true. When you didn't pay any money for a game, you have no investment in it - so if it gets retarded, instead of cheating you're just gonna quit.
Only if it gets retarded and was made by your friend who asked you to play it will you actually cheat. For example: this topic.
(Though that's assuming that cheating takes more effort than quitting. If I somehow accidentally access a debug menu in a game, and it asks me DO YOU WANT A MILLION EXP Y/N, I might play around with it for giggles.)
All I was looking for was some help - since this is the help forums. If you can't help me, that's that. You don't need to go out of your way to call my game crap. You're entitled to your own opinions, but it would be better if you kept them to yourself when I'm not even asking for feedback.

author=SorceressKyrstyauthor=firevenge007Stabbing Victim: What are you gonna do, stab me?
So what I told my friend was that he couldn't hack it, but eventually he did :P (Well he had some help from a friend of his)
You're pretty much chasing your own tail with this endeavour. I don't need to reiterate points already made by this topic.
which is why i'm asking for help...?
a stabbing victim doesn't stay on the ground after being stabbed, he goes to the hospital to get fixed up.

author=LockeZit was more of a "prove me wrong" sort of thing. Since I went to many cheat forums to see if it was possible to actually hack the game, but all the forums had frustrated people asking for help since they couldn't make it. The people who play my game like it, but they also think it would be nice to have more cash. So what I told my friend was that he couldn't hack it, but eventually he did :P (Well he had some help from a friend of his)
Yeah, OK, momentarily ignoring the fact that this request is literally impossible - MMORPG designers have spent millions of dollars trying to solve it and haven't yet - you're also looking at the problem wrong, as numerous people have said. If people are cheating at your game, it's because the game is designed in such a way that playing it correctly isn't fun.

I'm using XP. I know what a common event is, but I'm not sure how to make it so that when someone gains a certain amount of cash at a time - it will trigger something.

Use a global event that stores the current money and checks every 5 minutes. If the current money is 10000x what it was before, they cheated, delete it all.
To repeat everyone else's point, I'd say just let them cheat. If they bother to spend the time finding a way to cheat, they must like your game - because the rest of us would just delete it. Let them have their own fun within your game, even if it's not your intention. I wouldn't spend time deterring a very negligible % of players because I thought it would harm the "integrity" of my game.
Take Skyrim. Do you think Bethesda predicted people would be able to break the physics and send bears flying off the mountainside and ricocheting through the air? I don't know but I'm sure they didn't mind when those videos got 500,000+ views.
That sounds like a good idea - how would I put in a 'global event' though?

How exactly would I make it so that if someone gains X amount of money at a time, money is reduced to 0?
