Is mapping multiple buttons to a gamepad chearing?
It's been my impression that it is against the P99 rules to map your joystick/gamepad/keyboard buttons to multiple button presses (or mouse movements/clicks). In other words, if you map the "A" button on your controller to "2", that's ok, but if you map it to "2, 3, wait 5ms, 2 again" that's illegal automation.
However, I've scoured the rules and the forums, and the closest I can find to any sort of official response on the issue is this post from Rogean, which was directed more towards log parsers: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...90&postcount=5 Can anyone point me to a GM post, line in the rules that I missed, or anything like that that shows that multiple-button mappings are prohibited? Or allowed for that matter; either way I'd just like to have some sort of clarification that I can point people to in the wiki. | ||

if it is cheating i certainly hope that the server staff would articulate it clearly before beginning to issue bans for it. from past experience, i have no reason to doubt that they would make every reasonable effort to inform the community of the expectations before handing out consequences.
having said that, i do not know of or even heard of a single person banned for the type of macro'ing that I believe the OP is discussing...that doesn't mean necessarily that it is or isn't against the rules, its just an observation from playing here for a long time. everything in this thread is anecdotal or hypothetical, so nothing short of a GM jumping into this conversation is going to make the rules any clearer than they already are. my only other suggestion is that if you are actually concerned about something you are doing or thinking about doing in game being a bannable offense then you might have more luck sending a PM to a GM/Guide for your specific situation and question. more likely to find out the information that is relevant to you that way than by a threaded discussion in the general forums. | ||

I think if you are mapping buttons to things that are at least relatively possible with in game hotkeys you are fine. If you are trying to make a macro that automate something for you while you are AFK then you would be cheating.

Thanks for that Jeremy, made me smile.

If no GMs answer this thread, and no one knows of an existing place where the GMs spell things out, then I suppose I can assume that means there is no rule against multiple button mapping. However, it'd be really nice if it were clear exactly what is/isn't against the rules (thus my asking). Ultimately what this all boils down to is, I don't want to encourage some n00b to map multiple keypress-es to a gamepad button if that's going to get the n00b banned, but at the same time I don't want to scare the n00b out of doing something that the GMs are perfectly ok with either. | |||
