[QUOTE=J!NX;43883404]besides that a map overlay is hard to decide if it's a cheat or not. It's not nearly as bad as antirecoil but it's on the border almost[/QUOTE] How is this any different than someone having a second monitor open with an interactive map pulled up? [QUOTE=J!NX;43883442]they could also just remember where shit is and not stray too far if they need a map while in game they clearly have no idea what to do.[/QUOTE] What you're saying here is that everyone should play the game the way you want it played.
[QUOTE=Primesghost;43883806]What you're saying here is that everyone should play the game the way you want it played.[/QUOTE] So I'm not the only one that sees this mentality floating around ;) ;)
[QUOTE=lewyk13;43883501]I don't see how it can be considered an advantage when it is available to everyone with no restrictions. An advantage would be if it were only available for a select number of people.... I do agree, it is a very grey area and until we get an official confirmation we won't know. Like I have said, I don't need it, or use it... But I can see the value in it. I have also stated before I would rather they add in mapmaking to the game, similar to Minecraft.... With the proper materials you can draw a crude map yourself, nothing fancy, but with landmarks and such....[/QUOTE] So are a lot of things this really falls under "sticker for a crosshair", "changing gama on monitor" etc in the end. Minor as fuck and no one can do anything [QUOTE=Primesghost;43883806]How is this any different that someone having a second monitor open with an interactive map pulled up? What you're saying here is that everyone should play the game the way you want it played.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=J!NX;43883302]unless its no different than a 2nd monitor with an image then whatever nothing anyone can do.[/QUOTE] can you even like read and I'm not even seeing how I'm saying that, but I'm not being cynical like yourself. I'm not even saying if it's a cheat or not.
[QUOTE=J!NX;43883838]So are a lot of things this really falls under "sticker for a crosshair", "changing gama on monitor" etc in the end[/QUOTE] I completely agree, but the difference is that this is an application running on your computer, so it could be detected. My advise does mirror many others though, I wouldn't risk it. $20 isn't much, but it's $20 ;)

Not like anyone can really be banned for stickers or crosshair overlays at first I thought it'd track his location, but, I do guess it does give the disadvantage of distraction
I'm lost here.

So it's fair GAME! Sorry, just had to point out the logic in that line of thinking.
[QUOTE=J!NX;43883912] at first I thought it'd track his location, but, I do guess it does give the disadvantage of distraction[/QUOTE] There have been a few times when I am gathering resources at night and it hits that 7-8 minute window where everything is pitch black and I get disorientated, expecially if I have to run for better position to kill something/someone... I open a map on my second screen to see where I may be... I prefer that over covering my screen with a map anyway, I can still see (relative term in the dark) what is going on around me.... I can see someone opening up the overlay map and getting ganked while looking at it, same thing happens when people Alt+Tab out ;) [editline]12th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=G3wd B3rg3r;43884019]By your posts in this thread, 'it's available to everyone, it's not a person's fault for using it while other people don't' means that all downloadable hacks shouldn't be banned, because if someone's playing rust, they have money+internet so the freehacks, plus ones you pay for, are available to everyone.

There is a HUGE difference between noclip/aimbot/godmode/flying hacks, and an overlay map... The hacks you speak of directly influence gameplay, and interaction with other players.... I honestly don't see how an overlay map could do the same?

Sure, [I]anyone[/I] can download an aimbot. But that has restrictions, this does not. I know "anyone can download it" isn't totally an argument but that's not what he meant.
Hello, I am the creator of this tool. This tool doesn't inject something into any executeable or other files. You can check it it is open source. It uses some windows functions to swap between the windows thats why you need to run it in window mode. I don't see why VAC should ban you but of course I can't guarantee it that it doesn't ban you. So use it at your own risk. And I don't post as anyone else here, why should I? Also there is no map included in the zip file you have to download one yourself.
