well when I first started playing tribe back in 08 everyone was using happy mod in annihilation and SKB renegades. Everyone who was in a clan had told me to get it and use it. Much like how everyone today tells people to get 1.41 and use it.
After a year I started getting pretty good even against people using happy mod themselves. A few clan leaders got upset that I would kill them constantly while using it and at the time I was appointed admin as where a lot of people. So I kicked anyone that would cry about happymod. I was a real ****ler and I got banned a couple years for it, because bongwater decided to oversee administration while br owner was away.
The ironic part is that br owner always used happy mod even back then. Still does. Meanwhile bongwater used to host happymod.exe on drunken fools downloads site.
Back then i was under the impression that all the veterans used happymod and anyone who didn't was a noob and a skrub. Like most habits this one was hard to ditch. So I weened off of it using lesser evil hacks.
Once I learned more about the mod it occurred to me that I was good enough without it and that there are ways to track the enemy without cheating and that it was quite easy to do so. Happy mod did teach me a lot about player habits and movement that I'll always remember.
This was years ago and I really shouldn't have to explain myself. Don't judge me lol. I still consider happy mod a viable tool for training however the problem is that most new players don't have the self control not to click it when playing in public servers.
