Chickenhack for sure (and maphack if they are lumped together).
That is the reason I left D2. Couldn't stand being in some dueling games where I was the only one that could die.

bad news
its not a hack
its simply knowing what symbols to use for a certain color tag, like [co lor=blabla] [/co lor]
Nyways, chickenhack, yes, out with it.
You run a program and then put color code in front of the game name. You don't use vb tags on Diablo II...
And Maphack is completely different from Chicken, stop "lumping" them together.

nope, color codes are based upon odd symbols like a ÿÿ/6 or something similar. DOH its not vb tags its an example. you use symbols like ý and ÿ úï etc.
chickenhack once came apart from mh (1-2 years ago) but mouse**** integrated ch into mh. nyways, mh or ch use it and you suck.
wangboBW said:I think we would eventually get the hacks. But he defenitly was one of the first ones to actually start hacking the game as it is now. evolution of hacks
maphack->bots->chicken->color hack->misc hacks (such as like making hc chars w/o killing norm baal)(********, since it just is....)
The "hack" to be able make hc chars without killing norm baal.. It just implements code to registry / or changes value there?
Personally, I dont see the "hardcore hack" as a hack at all... I've never used it, but I cant say I would have any problems with doing so if I for some reason found myself without any other way to create a hardcore character, short of going into a SC channel, and begging for someone to rush some SC char through normal, who I would never play again.
And Baranor, I know for a fact Casey (0takupryd) does not use either MH or CH. (just putting that out there)

It's not a hack, and it doesn't matter.
As for game color hack, the codes are -c1 through -c11. And you do need to run a program, you don't just write the color codes.
As for chicken and maphack being the same thing... no. Chicken and Pickit are integrated into bots, but that doesn't mean they are the same thing at all. Chicken drops people when their health gets low, Maphack reveals the whole map and some other stuff too.

That's true, but if you removed all copies of maphack from the face of the... internet... you would have about 1% as many chickeners. If you removed bots, you would still have lots of chicken and pickit.
They are seperate features of the same thing, however, they ARE pretty much synonomous with one another...

1) Don't blame maphack entirely on mousepad. There was a mod out before he released maphack that allowed for seeing monster locations without maprevealing, and it's the monster location part of mh that makes it so powerful.
2) Even if MH was from mousepad, techwarrior was the first person to release any hack for D2, and he's the one who showed everyone it was possible...if you're going to remove someone's interest in D2 before they hack the game, he's the target.
3) The yc## codes are copy/pasteable into profiles but that's it. So far as I know there is NO way to do ingame/chat/game name colors without sending the packet with the color code appended to the front of the text.
4) Hardcore hack was an actual hack. In 1.10 it is just a registry tweak, but to the best of my knowledge when it was first released it was a hack (although probably the least harmful one possible)
5) Chicken/MH/pickit/etc are all different hacks, they are all integrated into one program commonly refered to as maphack, but they all have seperate (arguably)possible solutions, IE blizzard could kill one without killing the others, so they are seperate.

the fact that more than 1 hack was mentioned here should show everyone the sad state of d2 today.
I wont pub after level 25 due to tppk.
And its no fun with mh weenies, who can avoid the monsters, and go straight to the next level.
tppk has pretty much killed pub play for me though so it gets my vote. :thanks:

Um... that's not true at all.
Interesting question.
As a Mac user I've always assumed there are no hacks made for us software challenged types and I've never gone looking.
I'm new to HC. My first thought was to vote for TPPK since at level 71 with my very first HC char I got hit with it and died. But it was weird. Sat there stunned - had never heard of TPPK - didn't know what happened - and waited until all the other players left. Finally quit and I wasn't dead. I assume the game "rolled back" or whatever. Second life. Now my Barb is a level 80 and I avoid public games.
The idea that others - I guess most? - in HC are using chicken hack really sucks. No, not cuz I can't use it. I wouldn't. Why are they playing HC? I finally made the jump into HC because of the RISK.
That was too long... sorry... but I've talked myself into voting for chicken hack... Best/

To finally actually answer the thread title, I'd have to say botting. Chicken is lame and ruins dueling, but it's not as bad as botting. I don't mind TPPK at all really, it's just when the 12 year olds go kill random people and say stupid things... TPPK isn't necessarily a "hack" anyway. I really don't care about Maphack except when users of it leave me in the dust, like in the beginning of the ladder season. If someone wants to use Maphack to MF or to tele through some place to get the Hell Baal runs, I really don't care.... it doesn't affect me. However, waiting in bot lines really got old, and having to waste time making sure I don't get realm down is almost as lame.
^^ 0takupryd3 out of your last replies im beginning to think your one of the "hacks are cool" people trying to fit into our crowd. good luck, lol.
"maphack is not a hack" yep thats why it says mapHACK in the name. brilliant you are!
"TPPK isn't necessarily a "hack" anyway"
what planet are you on?
Lets see, did blizzard distribute this in an update for everyone to use via the eula and update notes? no, its a 3rd party "hey im skillless" program.

Rim, I know Casey (0takupryd) in real life, and we play D2 a bit (Well, he quit, and I dont play much anymore either, but when we both play, we play together quite a bit)
I know for a fact the only hacks he's ever used are:
Maphack, but he doesnt use it anymore.
I'm not sure if its a hack, but he was fooling around making a game name in red letters, and thats all he ever used it for.
And Casey hates botting and all just as much as anyone else... What he meant by tppking not techincally being a hack is that it is nothing you cant do on your own, its just the commands strung together very quickly, doesnt make it any less lame, but its just not a hack in the sense duping is a hack.
Maphack: he never said maphack is not a hack :uhhuh:
Hes not a "hacks are cool" person, I would actually call him "anti-hack" if anything... But Casey is capable of defending himself without my help, just throwing in an outside opinion here, so its not just his word against yours...

The CORE of what is ruining this game is TPPK!
TPPK made chicken hostile become needed
TPPK made people that may have never used chicken hostile or life use it out of necessity. Not an excuse, jsut a fact.
TPPK has made it near impossible for players to always be able to go find that decent public game. PKs were always there, they could always kill, but wiht aweness it is avoidable without trigs. With Trigs at almost any give time sooo many different charaster can TPPK from lvl 30is-70ish really hurting Norm and NM public games. In Hell however as long as you have BO there are less possibilites, with BO and Oak even less.
A player liek myself has a list of 25 ppl. At any given time during a week each of them will play but never all the time, and maybe 4-5 play enuff to be around every day. Even I have trouble getting a private game with more than 1-3 people and although those are still fun there is still a lot of fun wiht getting out in Public and getting 6-8 people walking to Baal or Questing, CS run for Quest......all that stuff. If I feel like Baaling which frankly I dont do alot but I do more than most I cant just pop into a public Baal run, they always have the questionables in there.
Now imagine the poor guy who plays 5-10 horus a week or less, might know 5 ppl and they are hardly ever on. He plays solo all the time......boring when you do it too much, but if he goes public he is even at more of a disadvantage than myself as I have seen some of these TPPKs, I know what to look for, he may not.I know a guy that fits this description sort of and he has been TPPKed many times. I know several people that have quit this game simply due to TPPK.
Bots hurt the game.
Chicken keeps ppl alive that should be dead.
MH makes things faster, easier and safer.
But non of these things dirrectly hurts my play and many others as TPPK does.
TPPK goes away I garuntee many people that use Chicken wont......hell I know people that use chicken only in public and not in private. Hell I have seen clanmates have it on. I told them no more or they must leave the clan and they follow the rules and stop only for me to hear a little later they got TPPKed.
Not all people come to places like this and read up on things. Many people dont want to study a game they jsut want to play, have fun, continue to make less than perfect buidls and not put in the extra effort.
TPPK......is the one true demon destroying this game, many of the others would go away, and many people would be playing again if TPPK was gone regardless of other hacks.

Rimuladas"TPPK isn't necessarily a "hack" anyway" what planet are you on? Lets see said:I think he means.... the act of killing someone by shooting a spell, tp to town, then hostile.
That is not a hack. It can be pulled off. My friend used to manually tppk people all the time with his BS necro and ice blast sorc... it just takes quick reflexes. But... most people are way too lazy do it manually so they use a hack to perform TPPK. the act of TPPK is not a hack but most people use a hack to pull it off.
