Anyone know if this maphack is virus free? What about detection?

Unlike mousepad's this maphack loads before you login. It's actually a
DLL run with d2loader. It works, I made a new account and character to
test it out and my virus checker didn't come up with anything.
Everyone from mousepad's forums claims it's fine but they might just
be in on it, you know?

I really have no idea - but I'd stay well away from such things, just as a
general rule .... especially if playing on battle.net

I'm thinking the whole maphack detection thing was just a bunch of BS to
frighten the impressionable .... but I'm impressionable :P

Well, maphack isn't detectable, using it in certain ways is. For
example when you target monsters that would otherwise be
invisible/untargetable such as behind walls. Chicken mode (dunno what
that is) and when you scroll the map are all aparently detectable.
There is alot of good things to say about JHJ/Flamingcow's maphack on
mousepad's forums and also battleforums so I'm gonna use it. I'll let
you know. I only have one account with a lvl 82 necro being the best
character and he only took a week or so to build. No biggie.

I don't know where you buy your manure, but maphack is most certainly
detectable in 1.10. Disassemble the code and you will see. In any
case, why do you need to cheat at such a simple game? Do you also
cheat at Go Fish?

Often a mechanism for malware, and always will get you banned from

Considering how badly cheats like maphack have screwed the realms, How
could you be so naive as to actually post that here and not expect it.

If you install it, you're likely to get banned, and you might get
some payload you didn't bargain for with it.  These, I feel, are a risk
that you take for being a cheater.  If your ethics aren't bothered by
using a cheat when you've agreed not to (you *did* read what you
agreed to, did  you not?), then obviously some guy on Usenet's
opinion isn't going to change your ways.

Why are you unable to play the game without cheating?  Is there a problem
with your system or something?

Can't you do some of this with a mod that won't affect the game? I seem
to recall a mod that cut out many effects to improve performance way
back in the pre-LoD days.

Yeah, they should do something about slot machines too. You can't
manually adjust the reels to win prizes, which is one feature I'd really
like. Guess I'll just have to cheat.

And this is different than the rest of the people playing on realms how?
What justification does this give you to lie and say you won't cheat on
the realms, and yet do just that?  Open is for people who can't handle
the game pure, maybe you could just go there.

I don't think turning off the Shenk death animation, ferinstance, is
cheating.  Lots of people have boxes that can play most of the game just
fine but dog down to 1-2fps for that scene.

Except he also said he uses it to highlight runes and jewels(giving him a
better chance at them than other players) and to prevent items like
arrows/bolts/thawing pots, etc from showing up, which further makes it
easier for him to see items other people can't.

I had no problem with him prior to that, as, while I don't use it myself, I
have NO problem with someone who just uses it to eliminate the stupid death
animations and such. But using it to give yourself a better chance at items
than other people, and well, that IS cheating.

Something - like a mod - that changes gameplay to reduce lag, is not a
bad thing, I think. Of course, if it does more than that...

But the config file could be edited down to the bare minimum:

shenk animation: off
rain: off
show sockets: on
drophack protection: on
socket protection: on

At this point you can't even tell it's on, much less have any measurable
advantage over other players. But is it worth losing an account because the
BCMs use the same color gray for both socketed items and ethereal items?

Well, it would be nice if Diablo 2 had the ability to do this.
Unfortunately, since Maphack is more often used for evil...

I recall a guy on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic who insisted that
Warcraft III would only be interesting and challenging for him if he
could use a maphack. He seemed quite indignant at the suggestion that
this need implied a deficiency in his playing ability.

Yes, I've read Blizzard's warning, and no, I don't use it, but has anyone
in this forum had an account banned for using maphack, or know anyone who
has?

We didn't ask for your original post either. One does not need
permission to post something on usenet. Also, David's right, you
shouldn't cheat. And you really really shouldn't complain when someone
points out you're cheating. It's your choice, but if you don't want
others to comment on it you shouldn't talk about it. :-)

Do you all think I'm suddenly going to come around to the fact that
maphack is cheating and cheating is bad simply because *you* pointed
it out? I've heard all the arguments before and no one will be able to
convince anyone else that their opinion of maphack is the correct one.

Lets agree to disagree.

You have the right to your opinion, but Blizzard's opinion is that if you
use it, they will eliminate your account and ban your CD key, which I think
is a good opinion.  Using MH is discourteous to other players.

Maybe there should be a "MH only" realm so you can play your game and we can
play ours.
Dave Hinz - 27 Nov 2003 01:45 GMT

But wait...there is...open.

Of course, lots of people who play open are more conscientious about
avoiding cheats and dupes than many players on the Realms. Ironic, I
think.

Wouldn't you just LOVE that. Let's not. You are a cheater, and you can
wrap that fish in as much sh.t as you want, it will still stink like a

Well it seems that the rules are not the same for everyone and you made a so
good point that I am as surprise of your reply about Mickey's post as I am
about him not replying to yours. I have used MH in 1.09 and I do not in
1.10. When I will have done all the quests so many times, may be next year I
will use it again but I will never pay for it and it has nothing to do with
financial issue. I think that MH now costs money so there is nothing wrong
to steal a hacker.

Come on.... You are not the flame_thrower that I know.!!!!!!  Your reply is
so weird that you sound like Max Terry and if I lack in writing English I do
understand it very well. Your reply is so surprising to justify the use of a
2nd party software that you do not use? Ok let's get the things straight.
Mickey once posted he was a genius but he made so many mistakes posting
under the name of Max Terry but I see "right now"  the "same mistakes". I
see a "flame" who is not able to play his role properly. You wrote; "Now I'm
not an authority on these issues" You were never ever so kind before and you
are talking exactky like Max Terry. I will try to traceroute your IP later
and your reply on this post will be your deed! ;oP

Or you are Mickey, or you are a very close friend but "the general feeling"
is there. Is it Palajin who said Mickey had a thirth identity?  Your reply
is so weird and protective about  him and I thought you would flame me.????
"flame" is a nasty warrior but so kind now and trying to justify gently
Mickey's use of a second party software? He sounds exactly like Max Terry!
Mickey often do this kind of mistake and you sound just like him. You could
be Mickey or a good friend of him but still I could be wrong. Anybody
noticed how protective he is and in the same style of Max?

If you are "flame" you will reply! ;oP

Let's agree that you're a cheating scum, and that cheating scum are
(...again...still...) wrecking the realms.  Let's further agree that
from this point on, when it becomes clear that someone in a realms game is
cheating, I'm going to haul out a high-level character and PK the bastard.
Never done it before, but your attitude is so _inspiring_ I think I'll
give it a shot.  So...what realm do you cheat on, Jordan?

Help me understand the purpose of attacking Jordan the way you did. He didnt
initiate a discussion on the merits of MH. What he did do is ask a question
related to its detection. It seems that most who gang up on MH users need to
ride their high horse for the day. I am not saying you do but that if MH is
even mentioned the anti-cheat police form a posse and take all types of pot
shots.

Jordan asked for some advice on MH.  You called him a cheating scum. A bit
overhanded I think. What is your motivation? Do you not ever cheat? Do you
never lie? Have you never stolen? If you havent then I would love to be
chastised and corrected by the likes of people such as you. Until then,
relax and re-evaluate the situation.

Thanks for the support. It's really no big deal to me tho. If some guy
on a newsgroup wants to get all worked up over what I do in a game
then it's his problem. I think this is all pretty funny actually.

So, we should welcome people who are f.cking up the realms?  How does
*that* logic work?

Sure, I'm plenty relaxed about it.  Cheaters have no place on the realms,
and I'm amused whenever someone comes here whining that they downloaded some
cheat program and got their account stolen or terminated.  Further, I will
not just idly sit by and accept someone who is admitting that they're part
of the problem with cheating on the realms.  

If this upsets you, perhaps you should look at why that is.  Guilty
feelings or something?

Let me apologize to you for jumping down your back. I dont think you
deserved it actually. The auto-response that even the word maphack illicits
for one reason or another baffles me. We, as regulars in a forum, cant have
appropriate and reasonable discussion about it. A shame it is. I will tell
you why. Instead of condeming MH'ers, I think lively and spirited debate -
with respect for each other - would be healthy for the group. I could go on
and on but I think I have made my point. Either way, my apologies.

Of course not. This simply means, however, that you are dense. We all
realize that you're dense. That you've heard the arguments, but are far
too self-absorbed to admit that they could possibly apply to you.

If that were true, you probably wouldn't care enough to try to convince

Perhaps someone will be so concerned about your best interests that they
will send a URL of this thread on Google to Blizzard along with your
account information and assist you in finding the straight and narrow
road?

To be serious now, anyone who asks about how a cheat is detected is
opening the door on this discussion. It's naive to believe one can post
on a newsgroup about using a cheat and expect that a discussion will not
ensue about the ethics of using a cheat. That's the nature of all usenet
and how most discussions are perpetuated. A topic is raised and many
tangential discussions arise.

You can't get your questions answered without the risk of side issues
and topics coming along with it and when it comes to cheating, there
will naturally be a discussion about the morality of it.

Given the general attitude around here I don't think I would have to
have said anything beyond the original question for someone to report
me. Those folks who have and will report me I'm sure feel much better
about themselves for doing whats right, or something, and it was the
highlight of their day. I'm still really not all that concerned. If
something should happen to my accounts (god forbid) it will still be
just a game, no big deal. You will all feel better about the world
because I will not be "cheating" in my private MF games anymore and
that will be the end of it.

I figured the ethics of cheat thing has been discussed so many times
before, why bother to bring it up. See post about nothing anyone says
making the least bit of difference. Arguing on the net is pretty
stupid so why not have fun with it.

No, you're the one who is having issues reconciling your actions with
your conscience and taking it out on everyone in the group. Otherwise,
you wouldn't care what anyone else thought and wouldn't be going to such
great pains to be hostile and defensive, even toward people who aren't
attacking you.

I don't *think* I was attacking him, although I realize I did say a
couple of provocative things. I admit that maphackage bothers me more
than it probably should.

And I'm so glad I don't have neighbors like you who have such a huge
chip on their shoulder that they're just so anxiously waiting for
someone to try and knock off that they start to imagine people are
saying and thinking things they are not.

Isn't this a little over the top considering that *I* didn't say I was
going to turn him in (nor did I condemn him in any way)? If anything, I
was trying to warn him of a possibility that could hurt him but you've
read something else into it altogether.

Need a kleenex for that snotty attitude, sir?

Morality isn't about "sins". It's about ethics and how people regard one
another.

Just for the record, I don't believe in the concept of sin because I
don't believe in heaven or hell and subscribe to no religion.

However, I realize that you don't care what I really believe because
you're looking for any post you can to take potshots at people and be
hostile toward.

Please tell me where I said you were going to turn him in. I think you are a
bit confused here. Jordan uses MH. He was attacked for asking a question. I
have a snotty attitude? Does that make sense?

If you look at my history on this forum I have usually been quite friendly
to most. Taking potshots isnt my thing as I like to keep my mouth shut even
when angriest. I could say the same about your response to Jordan.

If you saw hostility or a potshot in my response to Jordan, it was
purely your imagination whereas you were the one lobbing accusations of
being on a high horse in a hostile fashion (I didn't have to conjure
that up on my own).

At any rate, I've seen your posts on both AGD and AGD2 and I wouldn't
say that you are usually "quite friendly," particularly when you start
arguing about some issues.

Orchid you write amazinly well I must admit it. I do not know if the guy
posted his account information but it is a hypocritycal way to say to other
people to report him.. Stop skating and tell him he is a little scum bastard
cheater (I was myself in 1.09 OMG) but do not suggest other people to do the
dirty job for you. You write very well to pass a message, HYPOCRIT. What
about your dear friend Mickey? Jordan is an amator about cheating. I have
nothing against people who will attack someone using a cheat but Orchid, you
should not be so selectived.

Whether or not maphack is cheating isn't an opinion. It's a FACT. A
cheat is anything that gives you an advantage (No matter how minor) in
the game that is not available through normal gameplay and given to
you by the designers. Also, if the designers say it's a cheat, it's a
cheat. Period. They're the ones who decide the rules for the game,
nobody else. Violate those rules, and you're cheating. No opinion
about it, simple fact.

Any topic that gets mentioned in any newsgroup is fair game for people
to add opinions to, requested or not. That's the nature of the beast.

I take it from your post that you intend to start using maphack if you

See, I loved maphack for my modding work. I never did anything
serious, just little changes to skills/monsters/items. It was nice to
do a test of an area without running around trying to find everything.

HOWEVER, using it on the realms is something that REALLY annoys me.
I'm ashamed to admit that I used to use it. :S I believe that maphack
can give someone a very unfair advantage over someone else.

There are those who say they use it only because it cuts down on
graphical lag, and to them, I say you lie. Think of D2Accelerator. It
works WAY better than maphack ever did for cutting down lag. If I
remember correctly, the creators are currently working on a version
for 1.10.

Ah, just getting rid of some lag isn't enough for you. You want to
cheat, for freem without risk of catching a virus. Personally, I hope
Flaming Cow's MH contains some sneaky trojan or something which allows
him to hack the accounts of everyone who used it. That'd be a lot more
efficient then waiting for Blizzard to ban all MH-related CD-keys.

In Options, click on video, and turn your lighting quality to low.
