Hacks On Loaders

[whodiszbee]

im running sc/bw on a loader, i want to know if this might affect any of the hacks that you guys make. Palamino's Winamp Plugin hasn't been working for me could it be because of the loader?

[nickolay]

So tell me, how does running the Brood War process with a no-cd crack affect its code, besides the part which is used in checking for the cd. Everything else remains completely untouched, and thus has no effect whatsoever on almost all possible hacks.

You are supposed to lock these threads when you own them.

[whodiszbee]

oh okay thanks

[CoLt]

whodiszbee, I'm guessing that you have the wrong version of Winamp. I think it works on 2.8 and 5.02... Well tested on those two. I havent used it too much because in all essence it is still a hack, and can get your account banned. So I rather just use a bot for my winamp features. However, Good Job on making it. I've also wanted something like that back when I didnt have another spare cdkey.

[BloodyBlade]

You do realize that bots are also not supposed to be used? Here is License.txt from the StarCraft folder. Im pretty sure it says something about not using 3rd Party Programs in there.

You do realize that bots are also not supposed to be used? Here is License.txt from the StarCraft folder. Im pretty sure it says something about not using 3rd Party Programs in there.

Yah, but does my account get banned when I use a bot? If it does I havent lost one yet, and I leave the bot on always whether to save accounts that I like (i.e. Neltharion, Abit of WarCraft History) or just for simple Winamp features.

[BloodyBlade]

Err... If Blizzard wanted to ban it they very easily could. They just really don't care. They WILL ban bots that are mallicious as in Flooding, Loading, Warring, or advertising a scam site.

[CoLt]

To my knowledge they havent banned any Flood Bots, however they have banned the Keys used in such acts of Warring.

I skimmed it, I didnt find anything directly saying that 3rd party programs were not allowed when running Starcraft. I think I found something indirectly about not emulating starcraft which I gather can be a bot taking the role of an operator.

Why would Blizzard bother bots that dont harm Bnet? And arent being sold for profit, I do remember earlier when alot of Bot providing sites were being attacked by Blizzard for CopyRight issues they mainly attacked them because they A)Provided Hashes or B) The Bots contained Blizzard Game Icons.
