Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / June 2003Message stuck on screen
I have a message stuck in TFC that says "Welcome to Poopshoots Playground" and basically says press 1 if I agree to be scanned for anti-cheating. But I quit that server, restarted HL, and even rebooted, and it's still there... how do I get rid of it???

Dunno about that, but I got a similar message when trying to join one TFC server- and I could punch the '1' key till the cows came home, and still nothing happened until I'd finally get disconnected for failing to push a number (pre- sumably, anyway- since I have no idea what would even constitute a cheat in the modern TFC world, let alone be *using* one). And my '1' key works just fine, so it was a problem with their server, not my keyboard. -Marshall Oo - this sounds like a problem that I had once with TF1.5 when it was first released.... I can't remember how the hell i fixed it though! (It wasn't the server ... I think it was something in one of my CFGs ... because i copied Iphi's config.cfg to my HL dir, and it worked OK..... then a while later after i'd re-configured it to my settings again... i got the problem again. then a new patch came along and it stopped.) I also remember it only ever happened on the map where you take your flags to the 5 command points ... push i think it's called? > Dunno about that, but I got a similar message when trying > to join one TFC server- and I could punch the '1' key till [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > problem with their server, not my keyboard. > -Marshall -- Ben Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 > Oo - this sounds like a problem that I had once with TF1.5 when it was > first released....

It might have been, but I'm not really sure just what the map was at that point, when I tried to join. I do have a few old aliases and binds in some of the configs in TFC, for things like 'jumpcrouch' and the like. But I looked, and there was nothing that even used the '1' key, for any bindings. Pardon my ignorance, but are there any common old aliases or binds that are now considered 'illegal'? -Marshall > > Dunno about that, but I got a similar message when trying > > to join one TFC server- and I could punch the '1' key till [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, > Nintendo, Inc, 1989 > > I also remember it only ever happened on the map where you take your > > flags to the 5 command points ... push i think it's called? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > any common old aliases or binds that are now considered 'illegal'? > -Marshall No - I do believe it was a game bug and not that it was rejecting anything on the basis of you cheating this was before the days when these anti-cheat programs existed, and cheating wasn't actually much of a problem ... this was the 1.1.0.0 patch (I Remember thinking "This new netcode has fooked up TFC") .. I never had any Aliases anyway ... but your '1' key should always be binded to "slot1" .. anything else and it will not register anyway. (Just to double-check .. when the server loads.. bring down the console and type "bind 1" ... just to check that the binding is correct...) -- Ben Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 > > > I also remember it only ever happened on the map where you take your > > > flags to the 5 command points ... push i think it's called?

Hmmm... so instead of just key '1', that server was expecting the command-bind of 'slot1'. That explains it. I've remapped my key- board so that most binds are on the keypad, and 'slot1' is bound to the KP_HOME key. -Marshall What if you connect to a different server...? > I have a message stuck in TFC that says "Welcome to Poopshoots > Playground" and basically says press 1 if I agree to be scanned for > anti-cheating.

Your only chance for redemption is to burn your 'puter while chanting "Bill Gates is a God" 500 times then buy a 486dx2 with a DOS OS and upgrade, step by step, up to current standards... Let that be a lesson to you.... :) >I have a message stuck in TFC that says "Welcome to Poopshoots >Playground" and basically says press 1 if I agree to be scanned for >anti-cheating.

I mugged this poor old granny on the way home from work yesterday, knocked her chips out her hands, stole her purse and put the boot in as I f*cked off. Afterwards I went to the cash machine with her bank card and it said "Please enter pin number" anyone know how to get rid of it?
