There have been a couple of shock cheats, but nothing lately that I've heard
of. Some guys are just deadly with the shock rifle. Record a demo next
time you think someone's shock is suspect and post it to the binary group.
As to it being a bind: Most will say that the shock can't actually be
keybound to auto-track the ball, but there was a clue of how to do it posted
here in this group once... it has to do with setting your mouse sensitivity
to zero, but there is more to it than that and I won't tell anyone directly
how it is done because I consider it a pretty serious cheat. I doubt that 5
people on the planet actually know how to do it, and I bet I'm the only one
of those 5 still playing UT.
The other shock cheat required matrix moves (and bodens tools, if I remember
correctly) to be installed and loaded mutators to work. There were guys who
could explode the shock ball immediately (no wait between secondary and
primary fire), but that doesn't sound like what you are talking about. That
particular cheat was pretty involved and it included other things like a
player being able to carry more than one relic and damage not being
calculated properly (a buffer overflow that goofed up the servers ability to
calculate damage taken by the cheating player) and much more. Most of the
admins who saw it never beleived it was a cheat and they said it was caused
by a glitch in one of the matrix moves scripts (they were wrong). The good
news about that cheat is that it was carefully guarded by about 6 or 8
players and I don't think it ever propogated to the general population...
If that *is* what you ran into, I'd be interested in knowing what server you
found it on so I can email the admin to ask for his logs and share a little
info with him.
The likelihood, though, is that you are playing some shockwhores that have
better pings than you. I don't really know what your pings or skills are
like so I certainly won't claim that you ran across a shock cheat.. I
won't rule it out, either. But, until you grab a demo, I don't think anyone
can give you a solid answer.
Good luck and good fragging!
