PROVE ME WRONG. I want someone to OWN me with a goddamn bot. That or am I better then General level bots? I want to see demorecs! Dont show me WALLHACKS or even some weak ass server RADARHACKS. I wanna see AIMBOTS that work with FREE FLOATING IRON SIGHTS. (talkin 2.9)

You think wallhacks are no problem?

 

[Crowze]

NT, asking to see aimbots is a sure way to get you banned. I'm assuming that's not the nature of you're posts, but with the way you put it it's hard to tell.

If you want to see aimbots, do some research yourself. But frankly, with the demorec bug, you won't see much.

Ehm, as far as I know, wallhacks/radarhacks affect the same file as aimbots, utmenu.u.

 

[geogob]

Ideally, you should be able to kick players who use software rendering or warn the other players that a player connected using software rendering.

 

[cracwhore]

Ideally, when somebody is caught cheating, they should be strung by their balls and driven through a barren desert wasteland until they die.

 

[NTKB]

I agree with Crac. I dont care how small this community is, **** cheaters! String em by the balls! And yes crowze, keep reading me wrong so you can ban me from every forum known to man. I STILL dont believe in aimbots for INF in 2.9 and at least a coder agrees with me (yurch).

@Neabit: yes I do think its a problem. Wallhackers are cheaters and should be banned.

Geogob: Love that idea. I hate software mode cheaters :\ Would love to know who is doing it

 

[geogob]

Working on it.

As for cheaters, it's usually hard to prove it in INF. In CS or Q3, just watch a demorec... if the guy gets 100% acc with the railgun throughout a CTF match, it's either a cheater or own-age aliasing. The later being no so frequant, it's pretty safe ban the guy.

Sadly, in INF, it's not that easy.

I dont agree. Let me be the expert. I have had people booted from Shans server back in the day while under alias cause I could spot the cheaters... Not that hard actually. I wont go into methods for spottage here but ask me on TS ill explain.

 

[geogob]

Code written. will compile and test when I get home.

Pretty simple... will broadcast an announcement if a player connects to the server and is using software rendering. I'll probably improve it further to log it too so admins can refer to it if needed.

EDIT: While i'm doing this, are there any other settings you want this tool to look for. I guess I can check about anything... if the method actually works. Will test it tonight. But I'll take special request in the meantime. I should be able to look from any specific settings, like if coronas are disabled and stuff like that.

Actually, now that I think about it, I should even be able to change client settings. mmm ok I just scared myself.

 

[UN17]

Force coronas on! Make players experience the beauty of big sprites that block their view! How about a setting that broadcasts if a player has higher than 8/10 brightness?

Big brother is watching you!

 

[geogob]

No UN. I cannot consider brightness settings as something to be warned on. Why? simply because it depends a lot on the rendered, your video card and the video drivers you use. A few version back of catalyst, at 10/10 brightness, in opengl, my game was still so dark I had to use an external program boost the gamma or change the gamma settings in the video drivers. I had about the same brightness at 10 that I now have at 2 with the latest catalyst drivers.

And for the moment I will not change any settings client side. And will probably never do it too.

 

[Crowze]

I guess I'll stop trying to get NT to use a little caution with his words, the phrases 'lost cause' and 'brick wall' come to mind .

No way should stuff like that be made publicly avalible. Logging players using software rendering would be a much better idea - I know a few times when OpenGL has failed for no apparent reason and it's defaulted to software without me knowing until I join a server - at which point, I wouldn't really appreciate being banned.

Brightness shouldn't really be logged at all. Something like that is very dependant on the monitor, background lighting and eyes to make any kind of judgement based solely on one factor.

 

[geogob]

No brightness will not be logged. Definatly.

Ok for logging instead of broadcasting. That probably a better idea, true. And a player should never be banned using this information alone. In case of a problem, a warning would be more suited.

 

[Neabit]

I dont understand you what is the problem by software rendering? I know none cheat for ut use software rendering.

 

[O_DoGG]

IIRC, software rendering bugs sometimes allow you to see through walls -----> omg instant wallhax. On the other hand, the game looks so butt-ugly that it's a pain for the eyes...
That said, I'm totally for some kind of logging of players who use it (I might be optimistic, but I don't think there are that many of them)

 

[Blitzschlag]

Also a Problem not related to the cheaters, but to the tolls is:

The Roundcounter is "damaged"!!! Is there anything to do against it w/o deactivating the Anti-Cheat Tolls???

BTW:
A question to the N1 Serveradmins: I always get a Timeout when i connect the first time in INFGermany, sometimes i have to reconnet 3-5 times until i can play!!
How long does it take to activate a Timeout?? Can the timeperiod maked a longer?

Sorry for bad english, im so tired!!!

When you use a wall hack, it's not like you care about how the game looks.

 

[(SDS)benmcl]

On my old video card if I use Software I could see players through walls. This happened far to often and is one of the reason I used OpenGL. It only happened once with my current card when it switched to software without telling me. Also I heard this can be done with some video drivers/video cards at will without much trouble.

 

[Taque]

Yeah, when I went home to my desktop that was upgraded, the dude found my gfx card melted and thus, took it out. I was forced to play on software render and could occasionally see through walls. omg ban me wallhax !!!!!
