Discussion: +use spam binds, scripts and macros
Hey there,
We have to announce a possibility of a total restriction of +use spam based binds and scripts, including bind on scroll. We came to this decision after we faced some problems in checking demos with such scripts usage – it makes almost impossible to get run time of a demo. With our current tools it is possible to check run time only for the maps which were made in 2010 or earlier and totally impossible for the "new" ones. Currently we do not have an alternative solution for this problem and if we will not find any in near time, the new rule will be introduced. A new updated tool would allow us to check demos with +use spam, but unfortunately we do not have any available person at this time who could make it for us.
We understand that the introduction of this new rule will be unfair towards maps which would become unbeatable without +use spam, so we also have to deal somehow with it. Here are a few ways how to do that: the first way is allow it for some maps like kz_man_bhopocean and forbid for any other and the second way would be to replace "unbeatable" demos with old ones, recorded without scripts.
So, share you thoughts and suggestions in comments and we will try to find the best solution for this situation.
Best regards,
XJ Staff
