IRC-channel rules
The community guidelines apply for IRC as well. However, there are some points of special importance:
Do not speak any other languages than english. Speaking another language will get you banned from the IRC channel for 30 minutes.
If you have a question, type it in our main channel fist!
-> Be sure your question(s) isn't in the FAQ before asking.
-> If no one answers you can try to contact an admin.
Check the admins page to see who's the right admin to talk to.
Don't advertise for other IRC channels.
Do NOT highlight operators.
Demo rules
// General rules
Demo must be complete. Which means you have to start the demo before pressing the startbutton and end the demo after you have pressed the stopbutton.
Knife & USP are the only weapons allowed.
Demo must be compressed with WinRAR and named like 'mapname_author_decimal.time.rar', for example 'kz_man_bighardclimb_Ad9r_1337.76.rar'
The name of the demo file (inside the rar file) has to be like this: 'mapname_author_time.dem', for example 'kz_man_bighardclimb_Ad9r_1337.76.dem'
Submit the demo through our Demo Uploader or to an admin via PM in case you have problems with the Demo Uploader.
You are not allowed to use any cvar or setting that might give you an unfair advantage compared to the default counter-strike settings (just as cl_sidespeed and so on), even if it's not stated in the list above. Keep your config default!
// Gamespecific rules
The demo must be recorded at your own LAN server (aka listen server aka not dedicated). Demos which are recorded at dedicated servers will NOT be accepted.
You may not destroy breakable objects (like bridges for example) or push buttons (with an exception for HP boosters), or push movable objects, before you have pushed the start button.
You are not allowed to use any script or metamod or amxx plugins that give you an advantage to other jumpers.
You may not use methods which shows the velocity (e.g. /speed).
-> Being able to see your velocity gives you an advantage on running parts.
You may not use any other timer than the original one.
Using Godmode isn't allowed - use the health button!
Hook/teleporters: You are allowed to use AMX features like teleporters or hook to get up to places you could climb up as well, means you are allowed to use them as a 'support tool' to save 'senseless' climbing time before you start the actual run (because theoretically the same record would be possible without teleport/hook - it would only take much more time to get up there every time before you start a run).
BUT: It's not allowed to use teleporters or hook to get an unfair advantage, means gaining more speed or reaching an unreachable spot (to start the run from).
-> Setting a teleporter or hooking to a precise location and taking your speed and direction with you into that teleporter can be an unfair advantage, because this might give you an additional speedboost (and therefore more speed than you could gain without these AMX features).
Demos that require any sprites, models, sounds or gfx not coming with the downloadable .rar/.zip file in the download section are not allowed. Those custom files often come from using inofficial AMXX plugins. If you want to avoid this, you should record your demo at a clean server with the Official XJ AMXX pack v2 or no plugin at all.
If you want to use HLTV models, use the non-bugged XJ HLTV models. You can get them in the download section.
-> Other HLTV models are not allowed.
adjust_crosshair scripts (changing the color of the crosshair) are not allowed.
Fakedemos are strictly forbidden. Nobody is allowed to record any demos (for the record or the LJ record section) with a friends nickname or another username. In case of any abuse both involved player will get a 6 month ban from the whole XJ community (Website, IRC, Servers).
It is strictly forbidden to change your keys/binds/aliases during a run, they must be set before you start the timer.
It is strictly forbidden to take any kind of advantage from another player present on your server.
If the admin thinks that the demo is breaking against any rules, he can choose to not put it on the demo-page. If you do not agree with the admin, you can, of course, tell him what you think about it. But in a polite way.
// Timer rules
Ever since it was discovered that the Kreedz-Timer was inaccurate and that timerbugs can occur (FAQ: What is a timerbug?) it caused quiet a few problems and a lot of different rules had to be introduced.
To solve this problem a final set of rules was established:
-> The XJ record system is using a real time time-measurment system allowing millisecond times up to 2 decimals!
It's not possible to beat demos with faster times in the third decimal place (.00x), if there are two demos with the same times in the first two decimal places the first submitted demo will be accepted (first come first serve).
-> This is based on the fact that the demand interval of the hl engine is not capable of giving solid and valid times beyond the second decimal place 100% of the time (then again timeshifts would be happening in some cases, which would be way harder to determine than the old timerbugs, since they are happening in the decimal areas): Because of the quantization of time measurement in the hl engine in 0.01s intervals the mean error of one time measurement is 0.005s. So the statistical variance for the measured record time is Sqrt<2*0.005^2> = 0.0071. Every time difference smaller than the statistical variance is not significant and only based on statistical effects so it is likely to have occurred only by chance.
To check the real times performed in your demos either use the Official XJ AMXX pack v2 in your run, or use the DemoChecker after the demo was recorded (or both, if you want to be sure).
-> If different times are shown (caused by massive ingame lags, for example) the DemoChecker time will always be more accurate and therefore overrule the plugin time.
// Rules about cheating
Any kinds of jumpscripts (bhopscript, doubleduckscript, duckscripts etc) are strictly forbidden! The only command that your jump or duck key is allowed to be bound to is '+jump' or '+duck'.
You are not allowed to install and use plugins or tools that effects the jump or duck command in any way!
You are not allowed to use tools or other stuff that might affect your game in any way, especially not tools to slow down the ingame speed ('slowmo').
kz-sca takes the freedom to be able to change these rules without informing its users. To be able to follow these rules correctly you should update yourself every once in a while. It is the users responsibility to keep updated.
