»Do something about factions

It's full of hackers and I haven't seen an admin online since ItsDxstyy (worst staff member ever btw) deranked himself to helper which has been a week.

 

We would love to do something about it and we're but there are not allot of people who want to become admin on Factions. Mainly due to the fact on how people react towards staff in general.

 

You would be a crap admin

 

Okay thanks for trying, anyways, currently I'm trying to report a hacker but I am not able to find an admin who can help me. I've heard of "Elphios" and "Elwin", but I have never seen them since I have been actively playing the last 10 days.

Usually I just end up deleting the clips after a week since they become irrelevant after a while and I can't be asked searching for an admin again and again.

 

aXed man I would really want to apply but no one gives a hit about me put up a staff aplication post plz I would love atleast mod to help out cuz Im online 5 hours a day on factions and most of the time I chat I have been muted tons of times for swearing and harrasment but that was cuz i was bored Im not motivated now but I would love to spend some time keeping the chat safe for the 10 year olds

 

Read forum rule for mod app and meet its requirements

 

I tried finding it in rules but ntg can u mabye send me a link cuz Im not to good at finding stuff on forums

 

ikr even i fought 12 hackers today and still counting i was so mad got almost muted

 

> Complains about hackers
> Doesn't upload them

-_-

 

Trying to report them, can't upload for some odd reason.

 

Ban all hackers for good, not for 10 days or 4 or whatever, ban them forever then we will reduce the number of hackers

 

How many times I have to say.Its impossible that a server doesn't have hackers

 

So GC has come to the point where if a hacker has to be banned, he has to be recorded and uploaded. Not everyone has good enough pcs to record with good fps, nor does everyone have good enough net to the point where they dont have to wait 6 hours to upload

 

Complete bullshit.

6 minutes of potpvp (4 minutes pvp, 2 minutes catching a hacker/waiting for queue) at 1080p@60fps is recorded with ShadowPlay is ~420MB

Cutting out 1 minute of pvp at 30fps with ffmpeg is ~75MB for 60 seconds of 1080p@30fps which takes ~10 minutes to upload with 1Mb/s up.

If you have worse internet try using lower quality (-crf 30) (75 -> 30) or removing audio (30-> 29MB) at 512Kbit/s that would take 8 minutes. And it still looks way better than what some ppl have uploaded here.
If it were to take 6 hours, then your upload speed would be less than 11Kbit/s

 

There are forcefielders playing longer than a week without getting banned, even without a report, how are they not banned?

 

Tibo does his job well <3

 

Well Faction is not a main pvp server, only Like anni, potpvp and kitpvp needs a lot of admins active on difference time zone to deal with hacker tho

 

420MB seems legit.
A 1:33 minute long video in 30fps with fraps (Idk what ShadowPlay is, total random) is 1.28 GB. I could wait 10 minutes to render it to around 200mb; still being at 720p -10 minutes
I have 5 down 0.5up and uploading that would take another 10 minutes to upload (When I do upload, I switch to my home net which has 50down and 10up but not everyone would have this option) which is about half an hour already. Now you said cut the video to 1 minute, unless it was an obvious hacker which could be banned within a minute (if we had admins all the time) the admins will just deny the report saying not enough evidence (This has happened on multiple occasions, then they just lock the thread so don't deny). If I legit want to get enough evidence to have a CHANCE to get a good hacker banned (Example RatiG Kb modifier and speed, one of which isn't even in this new helpop system. Jkbb even reported him and it got denied as expected) Ill have to get like 5 minutes atleast which would total to atleast over an hour to report ONE hacker. Consider that one demanded server of gc has atleast 10 hackers online at a time, this is complete bullshit, not what you said.
Ideally, we need 10++ hours of time to get all hackers banned per hour. And one hour for one hacker. (If you dont have a good pc) Moreover if you have to record, the damage would already have been done (Elo / Gear lost) and we couldn't be bothered less to upload (Especially for the random obvious alting hackers which the 2nd best autoban in the world cant autoban but an admin can in seconds), but if we have an admin on at all times he could stop most hackers easily before the damage is dealt

 

i would upload if i could but these days its shit ping for me

 

i want to be staff but i have no idea if tenderman checked my application or not so i dunno if i should go for staff or not :/

 

Just apply, you cant get admin like this anyway

 

I think your biggest problem here is using bad render settings. If you're using windows you might try using this .bat file that uses ffmpeg (get it here; https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/, just download the static one extract it completly in a folder somewhere where you won't remove it and run ff-prompt.bat to install it. You can close this window after a couple seconds.)

Save the following as compress.bat.

Code:

@echo off
set /p input="Input: "
set /p start="Starttime (seconds): "
set /p len="Length (seconds): "
title Pass 1
ffmpeg -y -i %input% -r 30 -ss %start% -t %len% -c:v libx264 -preset medium -b:v 4500k -pass 1 -b:a 128k -f mp4 NUL
title Pass 2
ffmpeg -i %input% -r 30 -ss %start% -t %len% -c:v libx264 -preset medium -b:v 4500k -pass 2 -b:a 128k output-%RANDOM%.mp4
title Done
pause

Double click, drag & drop fraps's .avi in it, press enter, enter in start time in seconds and length in seconds and it should start then. For me it takes 2 to 4 times the length to complete (depending on starttime which can take a bit when above 60 seconds).

Goes from 2 GB fraps to 33MB file in a couple minutes.
(this example took 1m57s to process on my computer, time from pressing enter on Length input and seeing the 'Press a key to continue.' text)

With 0.5Mb/s up that should take <9 minutes to upload. If you don't need sound you can replace both '-b:a 128k' with '-an' and save a megabyte and ~30 seconds on upload time.

 

what are u both fighting over just download the app "handbrake" it compresses the video file and no quality reduced

 

Well, there is a bit of quality loss.
The settings I posted with ffmpeg are equivalent to
The only reason why to use my ffmpeg settings above handbrake is the ability to cut out a part without using a video editor to cut it.

 

They would just get a vpn and come back hacking u dont know how sad these kids are
