We have regular weapon switch buttons. But when the same actions are repeated over and over, it feels like driving a manual transmission in a big city. The art of scripting wouldn't be art if it didn't involve getting rid of such routine scenarios. I play most of the time with the Railgun, but it would be nice to have a button that, when pressed, switches to Rocket first, fires, then switches to BFG, fires, and then switches back to Railgun, allowing me to choose the moment to shoot with the mouse button. This would be convenient during routine moments, considering that the animation switch delay is always respected. This is just my subjective opinion. If this is not prohibited, I will create a topic in the future where we can discuss useful scripts in different areas with players, not just game mechanics.

About JUSTICE. Dialogue with GPT

What is justice?

GPT
Justice is a multifaceted concept in philosophy, ethics, and law, tied to fairness, equality, and moral norms. It involves distributing resources based on merit or need and ensuring equal application of laws without bias.

What is justice in Quake III Arena Excessive Plus?

GPT
Fairness in Quake III Arena, especially in the Excessive Plus mod, is about balancing gameplay to ensure equal enjoyment. This includes equal access to weapons and items, balanced weapons with distinct strengths and weaknesses, and fair server settings that apply equally to all players. Fair play is key, meaning no cheats or unfair advantages should be used.


Everyone understands this by default, that's how it is. For example, take Counter-Strike competitions. Don't the players there have equally powerful computers and the same ping? Doesn't everyone play at the highest possible FPS and with the lowest possible ping?

GPT
Yes, exactly! In Counter-Strike competitions or other esports games, players often compete under identical conditions, which creates a foundation for fair competition. Here are several important aspects that contribute to fairness in such competitions:

1. Identical conditions: All players use the same equipment, which eliminates advantages related to hardware. This includes not only computer power but also settings such as FPS and mouse sensitivity.
2. Low-ping servers: The use of servers that provide minimal latency is also critical. This allows all players to act on equal terms, without facing delays that could affect their performance.
3. Standardized settings: In esports, standardized settings are often used to ensure all players have equal opportunities. For example, identical rules about allowed or prohibited tactics, rules about the use of auxiliary programs, etc.
4. Honesty and rules: An important aspect is strict adherence to rules and honesty. The use of cheats or rule violations can seriously affect the perception of fairness, even if all other conditions are equal.

GPT
You raise very interesting and complex questions about fairness in the context of online gaming, especially when it comes to aspects like ping, FPS, and hardware. Let's break down a few key points.
Different gameplay conditions: Indeed, due to differences in ping, FPS, and hardware, achieving absolute fairness in online games is difficult. Varying conditions can affect gameplay, making it less predictable and fair. This is a reality that many players face.
Ping compensation: Your idea of using the cl_timeNudge command to compensate for ping sounds logical. It could help level the playing field for players with different pings, allowing everyone to play under more equal conditions. However, this might also lead to other issues, for example, players with lower ping might feel that this makes the game less fair for them.
FPS limitation: Limiting FPS for high-end computers could also seem like a fair solution, as it would even out the opportunities. But this could be a controversial issue, as players with more powerful systems may have invested in their equipment to gain a competitive edge. Limiting their capabilities might cause dissatisfaction.
Accepting unfairness: Ultimately, as you pointed out, the world isn’t always fair, and this applies not only to esports but to life in general. Some people may have better equipment, while others have better conditions. Players need to accept these realities and adapt, using their skills and strategies.

I ask everyone to pay more attention to my questions than to GPT's answers. I ask everyone to think about the topic of justice.

you just demonstrated the vagueness of chatgpt, because language models dont understand complex questions that way. it answered generally without specific examples.Please do not use chatgpt because it doesnt help your topic.

So are we agreeing on standards or is this unrealistic in your opinion?

If there is something like an honor code according to Excessive Plus standards, then please provide a link, I will take a look at this bible. This is important to me.
