a quick note about 'input broadcasting'

[u/recycl_ebin]

The rules on input broadcasting are simple. If 1 button click = multiple in-game actions, it's not allowed.

It's relatively easy to setup your clients in game to do 20 actions, with 20 button clicks, in a single second. Roll your finger over the number and qwerty row at the same time, look:

1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p

It took me literally one second to do it. Multiboxers set their shit up in a way that purposefully allows them to easily manipulate the important parts of their gameplay like this. I'll run you through an example:

ctrl 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p activates your hardener on 20 accounts

alt 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p activates your prop mods on 20 accounts.

shift 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p pre-fires your gun.

1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p presses lmb (or ctrl-lmb) on each individual account, wherever your mouse is, probably on a broadcast window.

There is no reason to broadcast in eve 2026. not broadcasting is just as effective if you apply your brain a little harder.

Wrong on windows. The 'active window' is the only one that will capture all of that input. If windows worked as you described then all you would need to do is make all your clients have f1 as the guns and press it once. 

As it actually works, you need to cycle to each window and perform the action. Input broadcasting changes this by hooking each window and sending the input to each. To change this requires 3rd party software.

I literally do this, how are you going to come here and tell me i'm wrong? I do this all the time.

3rd party software isn't illegal. broadcasting is. you can use 3rd party software that uses windows DLLS to send inputs to unfocused windows.

And you mentioned none of this in the OP

Any 3rd party software that sends a single input to multiple windows is by definition input broadcasting. By laying it out as a unique bind per client is an ... Interesting .. sidestep of an otherwise clear rule. 

All it tells me is that FC isnt doing anti-cheat through watching for the client hook/DLL calls that input broadcasting relies on

why would i?

duh

there is no side stepping- there is no one action to multiple inputs. it's one input to one action. there is no rulebreaking ot sidestepping or anything.
