World Record Rules for Kreedz Climbing Ath1337's on Dec 29, 09 00:00 am by SoUlFaThEr in content
The Recording Rules Page These rules are subject to change at anytime. Last updated: January 10, 2010 Things to know before even thinking about it...
Only run the KCAC (pronounced kaysee aysee) = KreedzClimbingAnti-Cheat program when you want to attempt a World Record.
When you start the KCAC for the first time, it will ask you to bind a key (which generates the .kcac file after recording). Close KCAC. When you reopen it it is ready to use properly.
A file named after the demo with a file ending of .dem.kcac should appear in your main kzmod folder when you press this button. It is working if after pressing it, your game will lag out for a short moment while it produces and saves this file. Visit this link if you are having any problems.
If you should one day get banned from this website, you can still submit World Record attempts through other channels other than the website (IRC, quakenet, #kzmod for example).
Note: Older DLL's can be found properly arranged in your kzmod/bin/oldones folder so that older demos are still viewable. The World Records list shows you which version the demo was made with, so you will know, when you download the demo, which DLL's you will need.
KZmod Official Course Rules
Get there as fast as you can, no matter what it takes Until it's directly forbidden, use it!
1. The awards are not to be activated and used to gain advantages prior to starting your timers. (This will become obsolete in the future) 2. On Derby or Target Races, camping while shooting flares for points is not allowed. You must genuinely be trying to get your fastest time while you also shoot down your mechanical opponents along the way. 3. Bungee specific: 2 bounces per target are allowed, at the second bounce you must go for the next target: attach-bounce-float*-bounce-float+cut-next target attach. 4. You cannot use a starting point that required noclip or an award to get to prior to starting your timer.
* = attached or not
Note 1: Breakables may be broken before actually recording the demo. Note 2:You may turn on cheats to noclip to a mini-map. Just make sure sv_cheats 0 is given before recording.
KZmod and Short-Cuts Kreedz Climbing is a race so all Short-Cuts are allowed ...until the map gets updated
Known game bug and award exploit shortcuts are not allowed and may also undergo changes in later game updates. Generally we want to see skillful shortcuts. The Developers reserve the right to deny demos clearly abusing a game "bug" whereas, "bug" indicates things/acts not thought to be possible.
General Rules and Settings Record only on Listen Servers with the default "TICKRATE" of 60 Demos recorded on Dedicated Servers will not be accepted
1.sv_cheats 0 is an absolute must setting. 2. The demo must be recorded in First Person View. 3. Let's make it also very clear that the kz_pause function is not allowed in your demos. 4. Any kinds of jump scripts (autobhopscript, etc) are strictly forbidden! The only command that your jump key is allowed to be bound to is "+jump" and u may not install plugins that effect the jump command or any of the air movements, the gravity, view angle (or depth) or any of the special kz_ convars pertaining to friction or timing. In short, you must have the default settings for both your client and your LAN (listen)server to be considered for the demo World Records list. 4a. Printing out the entire source list of server settings and cheats would take up too much space here, but we can compare easily because we know them. 5. You must leave the configs in the CFG folder as they were, and that includes all the map specific configurations. If surf/bhop mode is called, then surf/bhop settings are valid, even if you are doing a jump route in the surf/bhop map. The base.cfg must have these settings only:
sv_gravity 610 sv_airaccelerate 30 sv_accelerate 5 6. You are not allowed to use ANY type of entity spawning that will change your movement (speedmod). 7. You are not allowed to use ANY type of Turbo joystick hardware that presses the jump button superfast automatically. The use of such things is easily seen by the KCAC. 8. You are not allowed to use ANY type of plugins or commands that would give you an advantage over other jumpers in any way shape or form. If you have plugins installed already, make sure your Addons folder is READ-ONLY and is renamed to addons_bak. If you forget to do this, kcac will do it for you when it starts and will rename it back to addons when its done. 9. Do not ask when your demo will be uploaded. 10. Check your demo(s) and make sure that it plays correctly, and that all settings are correct before you submit it to us. Cheating will not be tolerated. If the demo is manipulated or settings were changed before or during a recording, an Admin has the power to ban you from this website permanently. This might seem harsh, but it's fair to those who won't cheat their way to KZmod stardom. Know that a VAC ban is a lifetime sentence as well, so we are not any more harsh than VALVe Software. 11. Do not put a . in the time when naming the demo. 12. "Fakedemos" are strictly forbidden. Nobody is allowed to record any demos (for ANY World Record section of kzmod.com) with a friends nickname or another username. In the case of any abuse, both involved players will get a lifetime ban from the whole KZmod community (Website, IRC, Servers) for fraudulent behavior. 13. The behavioral rules for this website apply to the behavior in each demo. Read them to know how not to act in your demo. Flaming, etc. will not be tolerated. The same will apply to pornographic, or otherwise offending spraylogos or Art Tool drawings or writings. The Admin has the right to dissallow such a demo if he/she feels there is something in your demo that breaks these rules.
The 8 Step Recording Procedure "Yeah, that's better than before, guys" It can only get better, too!
1. Make sure the map is on the World Records List . 2. Start the KCAC.exe then the game. 3. Click "Create Server", select your map. 4. Begin recording the demo clearly before starting the timer. 5. Press the start button make the course with 0 Teleports. 6. Stop recording clearly after the stop button so we can see your time properly. 7. Press the button you selected to generate the .dem.kcac file. 8. Compress both the .dem and the same-named .dem.kcac into a .rar, and submit your demo.
File COMPRESSION & N4m1nG Conv3nt10nS Saving the Demo Admins some work is a usually a good thing for you ...it has been known to lead to faster demo releases, ya know
The demos must be compressed with WinRAR and named like this: "mapname_coursename_author_time.rar", for example: "kz_man_madness2_madmini1_climbstudent_0015.rar".
The demo file (inside the rar file) must be named like this: "mapname_coursename_author_time.dem", for example: "kz_freezing_ridge_the5trees_climbstudent_1337.dem".
If the name of the course matches the name of the .bsp (the levels name), then a coursename will not be necessary.
Course reNaming Example: kz_cathedral_yourname_1245.rar is for the main course on kz_cathedral, and kz_cathedral_slidemap_yourname_0017.rar for the minimap called "Slide Map"
Demos should be named with lower case letters only except for your name. It should be written the way you want it to appear in the World Records and Top 5 list. The same applies for the.dem.kcac and .rar file, of course. Keep in mind though, that if your name differs from the name you submitted your earlier demos with, you will have two world record users.
Submit the demo to an admin via Submit a Demo or by submitting to one of the Staff by using IRC over Quakenet and channel: #kzmod.
