1 [quote]From reading the above it seems to me that Zero-K should only allow a set of pre-authorised widgets. Would that be technically possible or would there be workarounds? Seems crazy that players could secure an advantage over others by only enabling a widget. Just like typing in a cheat code.[/quote] 1 [quote]From reading the above it seems to me that Zero-K should only allow a set of pre-authorised widgets.

5 I think widgets need to be limited to a pre-authorised set that relate to interface options rather than provide ai-based assistance. Just like using an aim-bot in an FPS, I do not see why enabling bot-like assistance that affords an advantage over those not using the option does anything other than spoil an otherwise level playing field. 5 I think widgets need to be limited to a pre-authorised set that relate to interface options rather than provide ai-based assistance.

9 So at the moment can anyone code their own widgets / hacks, and does the server know that they are using their own jack's? Otherwise does the server know what widgets are enabled or disabled? 9 So at the moment can anyone code their own widgets / hacks, and does the server know that they are using their own hacks?
