50% fair and 50% unfair

Sorry, but i cant really remmember the time. only that it was more than a week ago.
He banned me for breaking the unknown rule he mentioned.
Oh and i didnt spawn anything on his chess board. I know the rules i just spawned it floating near it and you needed to stack ~3 jeeps to reach GlaDos
Also, I DID break a rule with out even knowing i did, that was breaking 1 glass prop while using a companion cube. i know the rules and its my favorite server so i didnt want to be banned.
also, i didnt say that knowing an admin whould help, i was just telling him so he whould belive i had been playing before, and not just randowly joined 15 minutes ago.
Admin that banned me- Dave. im not sure about the tag but his name is Dave

bump 2 days already and no answer

Here is my expert witness testimony. Because I was there when it happened, and I was the one that banned you.

Okay, let me start by saying that it is defined in the server configuration, the server-side user management and security addon ULX that only admins and higher may spawn NPCs and several other types of special entities. What you in fact did do, is some how (I don't know how) circumvent that protection to spawn into the game, something you should not have had at all to begin with.

Let me be clear, that if it is in your intention to go and intentionally break through our server's security layers just to get something you shouldn't have, then of course you're going to get yourself banned. Destroying someone else's work is one thing, but somehow bypassing all the layers of protection we have established on our server is a whole new major league ball game.

This also shows to us that you have hacking tendencies, and I don't particularly like those who have hacking tendencies. What happened to all of those who either ran those SlobBot scripts or compromised our server's security sometime last year? They all got banned. Every single one of them.

Also, does this message seem familiar to you at all?:
"This server is VAC secured, cheating will result in a PERMANENT BAN."

i didnt spawn any npc. It was an adv dupe that whould SIMULATE the npc. i dont remmember ANYONE to be able to spawn GlaDos, not even a player with the highest rank. I did not break any layer of protection, neither hack to make glados or the headcrab appear.

Yes it was.

Addendum, I have done some research on what and what does not make an NPC an NPC. Here are my results.

Here is a screenshot containing different types of entities. No distinctions yet, however.


Here is a second screenshot of the same, with my addon Falco's Xray addon enabled, thus outlining the different entities with different coloured wireframes.


From left to right:

Player

Physics Prop

Ragdoll or any other gmod specific entity

NPCs

As you can see, the entities wireframed in green are are the targets of Wire Rangers, which are connected to text screens to tell me what class they are. The results are generic_actor and npc_kleiner, but hold on right there because I'm not finished with this just yet.

Refering to Valve's source engine developer wiki, both LINK:npc_kleiner and LINK:generic_actor both contain references to the BaseNPC keyvalues. To further back this up, here's a snippet of lua code extracted from Falco's Xray addon.

...
elseif v:IsNPC() and (r ~= 0 or g ~= 255 or b ~= 0 or a ~= 255) then
allcolors[v] = Color(r,g,b,a)
FSetColor(v, 0, 255, 0, 255)
...

Did you see that? Look at the IsNPC() condition, the lua code inside that tells the game to render ALL NPCs with a wireframe material, coloured green, no less. Therefore, generic_actor or not, you still spawned what is considered and defined in the game's source code to be an NPC.

Conclusion:

I am done with both this ban request and this thread. Additionally, should Conor (Not Conzor or Connor) see fit to unban you, then the decision to do so rests squarely with him.

Straight from Source SDK - Hammer

cant you really let me keep playing? i mean, i guess i wont be using it again. its not like i crashed the server. Give me annother chance because no one ever told me i couldnt use those adv dupes. you wont EVER see them again.
oh and when i said SIMULATE the npc, i didnt mean it wasnt. i meant that it whouldnt do anything that npcs do, like move or attack or even have some kind of friends and foes target system like the real npcs do

I think he would deserve an another chance.

I think he would deserve an another chance.

I wouldn't mind this

thanks for the support

To be honest. Dave's ban = Dave's decision of unbanning.
But whatever.

· Unbanned

THANKS! gonna get on the server right now

ahah
first of all congrats on the unban kikbow.

second, this will be strange saying this but I actually enjoyed reading these comments. This Dave/darkmessenger84 person seems quite the admin. Spending all that time typing all that up + the screenshots. Aprilon has a good admin here Not saying all the rest aren't because they're all great of course. But I was impressed. Seemed almost like an actual court case here ahah except online, on a forum.

Very interesting, Anyways congrats on the Unban and hope you stay active kikbow
