F1 menu has been activated... little help here

Recommended Posts

I am playing on server US2253 and it says that the F1 menu is activated, and I can teleport by using the alt key from with in the map screen. I found this on accident trying to place a map marker and thought a hacker was porting me, so I quickly logged. Upon logging back in, I got this message. I tried it again, and sure enough, I am able to teleport. I logged off immediately to come post my concerns. It does not do this on any of the 5 servers I like to play on, but I am really worried that this is going to show on some ones doc.files. I did not do this, I do NOT hack... I despise little fuckers that take away my "earned" weapon stores just to cause some one grief. Am I at risk for this crap???

Thx and apologize for this not being in a bug report, as they never seem to post any of the topics I try to start.

If you didn't execute a script, you can't be at risk.

How did this happen though? I had adjusted my brightness and Gamma, then switched back to the map screen. Just don't understand how I would have received the ability. Is it possible for hackers to give all the potential players specific ability's?

Abilities*

And no, hackers cannot allow other players to use hacks as far as I know, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The server itself probably has the feature enabled. Which.. Now that I think about it, would make it possible for hackers to enable that feature anyway.(Edit; Reading back on this part, it sounds utterly stupid and nobody should have read it.)

Either way, simply don't play there if you want to play safe. But you can't be at risk of getting banned for hacking as long as you don't use scripts.

Sounds good, thx for the reply. I have taken it off of my favorite list, as I have no desire to loose my key due to someone elses idea of what fun is.

Hackers are able to remote-execute code on other player's machines, I've had this happen a few times myself (though my hacking menu also included advertisement to buy the full version of the hack)

How does one loose a key?

You don't know me... Ask me to build an LSA, or exp aircraft, and I can give you lots of help Dankine. But computers and I don't get along to well. Honestly, I am a computer dipshit. :| I know I opened the door wide open for you, so I guess I should be happy you didn't slay me....but its still early B)

hackers only execute remote code if you've installed their hacking tool in an attempt to become a hacker.

There are hackers that can give everyone on the server power to use their scripts.

I am talking about hackers here, not script kiddies.

You were born a mutant with teleporting abilities.

So much misinformation in this thread

Hackers can execute scripts on any/all player on a server, making you dance, giving you a debug monitor, or like you described giving you a menu you can use to teleport, spawn weapons, vehicles etc.

You can't be globally banned for using this menu unless you were the person who executed it.

Server admins may ban you from their own server if they see you using it regardless of whether you were the person who executed it or not.

The server will need to be restarted to remove it. You are best playing elsewhere until then.

Thanks for clearing this up. Was about to say the stuff you were
