I think his computer gives him 10million gold when he STARTS the games... and then never repleneshes it... kinda like he modded the slic for the scenario creation.. or something...

would starting a sp game with say X computers playing 0 turns... not doing anything, saving.. then hosting in MP and letting him take one of the computers starting locations would fix his childish "I have to cheat" problem?

What mod were you using? Or what version of CtP2? It crashes when I try to load it.

**LStanley** · October 31, 2004, 21:24

CTP2 with the patch, and city expansion mod...

and I tweaked a BUNCH of the science issues regarding how fast you advanced through the game...

I'll zip my gamedata dir.

**LStanley** · October 31, 2004, 21:26

Its ok I loaded it.

Obviously the Viking player has cheated in some way or its a hurrendous bug in city expansion, but I doubt it.

and I have one question because the BOY will not EVER grow up and play w/o cheating... How can I as a client, prevent him from cheating in this game? is there a way?
or even as a HOST how can I?

I cant see why you would want to play against a repeated cheater, I certainly wouldnt, in CtP2 or any other game again.

There are many people here who would play against you that I KNOW arent cheats.

Its also funny that with your friend even using those cheats im pretty sure a lot of players here would still beat your friend without cheats.

well its more of like bragging rights than anything... most games we've played I've kicked his ass at.. and there's been times and games he's kicked my ass at..

I'd just like to add this one to the list... namely because EVERY (turn-based) strategy game we've played... he's beaten me.. cheating or not...
and I dunno... this really kicks his credibility in the balls
makes me wonder if he cheated on the other games too...

but I dunno... if any of you guys want a game... gimmie a hollar... I usually play via Kali and have no problems connecting there

I've got LOTS of time to play, so anytime is good for me

Cheaters

CTP2

**Deathstar** · November 1, 2004, 18:22

The guy who posted the original thread is a friend of mine. However, he gets extremely cranky when I beat him at like almost every single computer game we play. He thinks I cheat in them all or at least this one. Because I am a member of this forum and frequent this site, I wish to at least present my case. I had to go out with my girlfriend and left the game (I was hosting). He stayed in it and connected to it through another computer in his apartment. If thats not cheating enough, I think he saved the game and then edited the save file and presented that to this site to rant on. I made a RAR file of the save game I made before I left the game. I'm uploading it directly from my "D:\Program Files\Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp\save\mp\Demigo" directory. My name on CTP2 i made is Demigod_Slayer which is prolly why it made a folder Demigo. My save game is nothing like the one he speaks of, which leads me to believe he is trying desperately to indicte me as a cheater. I have no need to cheat when I beat him in every game all the time. RTS, turn based. Just ask him who beat the heck outa who in Warhammer - DOW as a freakin beta tester!

BTW - he edited the barbarians and goddy huts to give about 5000 gold every time you turn one over. But you also have a greater risk of barbarians coming out with the minimum of 3 coming out. Get lucky - get LOTS of gold. And yes, there is a pattern to the goody huts that do and dont have barbarians.

no ted you beat me in TURN based ONLY

Originally posted by Deathstar He thinks I cheat in them all

no just this one

yes I was under the suspicion that you were cheating so I investigated. On the different filename dir structure, it saves the games based on the PLAYERS name and empire you are PLAYING.. its the same game.

The year is different because the game that I saved on my turn W/O the computer playing one of your turns WILL LOCK UP (there is some part of you having a turn that crashes the game....) if I let the computer play ONE turn then save, it moderates out whatever substianciating line on command you are running (seperate program that logs the current #of gold in the background and imports 9,999,999 gold and PW in its place while its running, and after your turn it reverts BACK to the starting gold... (as to minimize trace of cheating) **** I don't know... ) and after I save on that turn, load, and look... its got 9million gold.

why would I try to MOCK a cheating thing about you to these guys? I have nothing to proove to them... *edited out by Locutus*

as I stated before, its a SEPERATE program you are running that makes it LOOK like you aren't cheating... but in case YOU ARE... the savegames yes, are a different dir structure and filename due to the game.
oooh... and load my savegame.. enter cheat mode.. IT WILL GIVE YOU THE WARNING ON NO SCORE!
I HAVE NOT EDITED THE FILE!...

again ted, that is a straight out lie... I've won the last 7 games we've played IN A ROW....
but again.. this game and "how good you are at it" are IRREVELANT to this situation...

But you also have a greater risk of barbarians coming out with the minimum of 3 coming out. Get lucky - get LOTS of gold. And yes, there is a pattern to the goody huts that do and dont have barbarians.

so what I edited the goodie huts... so what?
load the game in single player, say restart, and ADD ALL of the # of huts NEAR your player, give gold out of each (max was 5k) and hell give the whole 5k each... thats a tops of 45,000 gold... and not to mention that 60% of them are NOT gold... and 45k will NOT buy you as much crap as your bought.. NEVER in a million years... not to mention you don't even have the wages maxed out on profit... do the math... it would NEVER happen...

and a pattern???? ahhahhaahahha lolooloolol you must be kidding...
there is no pattern.. the way the huts are treated, there is NO POSSIBLE PATTERN to how they are placed, what graphic they give, or what is inside them other than a ratio of percentages to recieve which goodie or barbarians or nothing at all...

ooooh and again on the gold issue... I had run through as many huts, if not more, and gotten the same amout of gold, if not more... and I spent it all.... yet you have the ability to buy 4x the buildings AND troops I do? hardly...

just because you use whatever cheat you are using, wether it be slic editing, a seperate program, or hex editing of the savegames... (it was saved after turn ~70ish on your computer.. and then loaded from your save... then you began to kick my ass from then on... and a 36hr rebuttle on posting your savegame... lol.. time to re-edit down?).. posting a different savegame will NOT fix the fact you have no argument, nor a standing on the issue... its quite OBVIOUS you are cheating ted... I dunno what else to say.

**Ekmek** · November 1, 2004, 20:30

you guys need to sit and have a beer together...

**EPW** · November 1, 2004, 21:44

I looked at both saves, and clearly one of you is lying. I think I know who but I'm not going to say

Don't Cheat! Its not any fun for either player!
