Maphacking...
QUOTE FROM SHADOWFRENCH:
I announce today, i stop all Maphack research.
I lost all motivation to continue.
I don’t find the reason why continue when people accuse me to be a thief, accuse me to kill the MapHack progress, accuse me to never done something good.
And in other side, look release after release my code.
You killed my motivation.
While playing on battle.net, i have seen people using shadowfrench's name spoofers to spoof to names lyk "fkshadowfrench, fkmaphack, maphacksucks, shadowfrenchsux, etc". Some ppl claim that shadowfrench has ruined games to a huge extent, killing strategies and stuff. Some claims that the program caters to cheaters who cant play properly so they rely on it to win. The maphack has caused quarrels and accusations in games, some even quit cos they know and its obvious that the opponent is mhing...
Well, shadowrench simply made the maphack as a hobby, and later released it to ppl cos hes a nice guy (like me). Statistics have shown that 70% of the b.net population use maphack. People request, shadowfrench provides.
It's like asking why programmers code (not as a job). It's a hobby, and shadowfrench doesnt want to be the only one benefitting from it.
And no, i do not believe that shadowfrench has ruined dota games. Maphack has made people strive to play even better, strategies have to be smarter. You cant easily gank someone as before mh was publicised. A lot of players that have a maphack tend to like to hide it, so if ur running away from a hacker, using lothars, they sometimes pretend to not know where u go or just follow u in ur general direction, cuz they risk getting banned using a maphack. So dota games arent really ruined, it just makes the games harder. People wont get fed all the time so there wont be a dominant hero. It will be based solely on team performance through pushing (so mh improves teamwork too)
Why are people trying to put SF down? Many people use his maphack, and those hypocrites themselves go curse it. Creating the mh takes a lot of skill and it is sad that people who dont have the skill to make one curse him out of envy. I highly doubt shadowfrench actually ruined wc3, if Blizzard did care, they would have ended the hacking, but they dont. They only worry about ladder and even that is being hacked. WoW is where they are focused on, so i hope people stop whining on how SF ruined wc3.
Anyway the debate on mhing will be never ending, but I like to sit on the fence, as long as other people are using mh, so will I...until an anti-hacking solution can be found...
Good luck to shadowfrench on his future endeavours, I hope maybe he'll come up with some other unique hack in time to come heh...
