Maphack

Post by Angel
I recently came across a site that has a maphack download that shows
you where all the plaques and badges are on the ingame map and also it
tells you what lvl the mobs are in each part of the zones. If I
installed this would my account get banned?

If you're talking about the VidiotMaps upgrade, no. These are installed
on your local system and don't have anything to do with your online
interaction. They don't even replace or damage game files - they exploit
a developer loophole wherein files placed in a certain location will be
used in preference to default game files.

I think the Devs are down on them, but they're widely used and, IMNSVHO,
they only contain information that should be in the default maps anyway.
Stores, badges, plaques and especially Especially ESPECIALLY a detailed
map of the f*cking Perez Park maze!

Go get them. They improve gameplay immensely and have no downside at all.

Seconded !

After installing, you actually have a chance to collect all the
badges, too, as some of them are so placed as to almost impossible to
find.

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes !

If you're talking about the VidiotMaps upgrade, no. These are installed
on your local system and don't have anything to do with your online
interaction. They don't even replace or damage game files - they exploit
a developer loophole wherein files placed in a certain location will be
used in preference to default game files.
I think the Devs are down on them, but they're widely used and, IMNSVHO,
they only contain information that should be in the default maps anyway.
Stores, badges, plaques and especially Especially ESPECIALLY a detailed
map of the f*cking Perez Park maze!

Cryptic's official policy is that using them WILL result in disciplinary
action against your account.

Not that this really stops anyone.

I don't care about the maps...if it weren't for the ability to remove
looping sounds from the game, I'd have cancelled my account a year ago.

Actually, according to CuppaJo, the only disciplinary action that you
have to worry about is having your posts deleted if you discuss it on
the forums. She said they're not going to "hunt you down for using
it". As I said, it seems to be a case of the term only really being
there so they don't have to deal with it if someone puts out a trojan
in the guise of a map pack or some such.

That would be dead simple to find out; All they'd have to do is check
for the presence of a data directory in the city of heroes directory.

They don't care.

They "officially" ban them because they don't want support calls from
people who have hosed their own system with mods and are too stupid to
think "maybe I should remove the mod I added just before CoH stopped
working/started crashing/etc."

Cryptic have enough problems with crashing, mem leaks, etc from their
own coding, without added user mods confusing the issue further

I recently came across a site that has a maphack download that shows you
where all the plaques and badges are on the ingame map and also it tells you
what lvl the mobs are in each part of the zones. If I installed this would
my account get banned?

I PMed CuppaJo on the forums a couple weeks ago about such maps
(Vidiot Maps are the most popular. Not sure if there are others or
not), asking her if these maps were against the EULA. This was her

Post by Angel
Yup. But no one is going to chase you down for it. Just do not discuss it
on the boards.

So, basically, use them, fine. Just don't go to Cryptic or the forums
for help if anything goes wrong with them. ;)

Since it's not actually patching the game files, it's unlikely that it
could cause anything to go wrong, and, in the unusual event that it did,
simply deleting the files from your COH directory would effect a
complete cure.

The worst case scenario is... you're stuck with the maps in the game
now. Horrors!

Vidiot Maps is pretty respectable. I wouldn't expect any problems from
their maps.

Highly unlikely since you aren't altering the actual game files at all.

I will note that I had to move mods out in order for issue4 to patch
correctly (it went into an endless loop of scanning/fixing/redownloading
while the mods were present.)

I also use a couple sound and graphic mods to get rid of the horrid
superspeed/regen/and some other looping sounds and some of the more
atrocious graphics (regen integration/instant healing) so it may not
have been the maps that were causing the problem.

As soon as Issue4 completed patching properly I put all the mods back
and everything worked fine including the in-game maps.

I doubt it was the maps, as I use those and had no problems patching. I
don't currently have any graphic/sound mods, so I guess that's where
your problem came from.

I was very unimpressed with the effect of Issue 4, though. It started my
game crashing unpredictably whenever I looked at a new window(contacts,
mission, info) or zoned, and I had to install new graphics drivers and
disable shadows before this went away.

Hmm, I have an extensive sound bias against the sounds in Dark Armor, and
I4 patched without any problems at all for me. Might have been the map
thing, since I4 included some actual map changes (adding in the arena,
university construction, and such).
