July 4, 200520 yr http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/forums/portal.php the mani plugin has the ability to 'ping' clients for cheat cvars. basically it sends out a known cheating cvar (hlh_norecoil, for example) and if the client reads it as an error, obviously they don't have that hack/cheating function installed. if the client runs it, they're cheating. it can autoban if it detects these. http://www.wravens-nest.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1 autoban, while in an extremely unreliable beta state, will be an effective anti-cheat. it doesn't detect for cheats, it detects the result of cheats. it has algorithms to check for wallhacks, aimbots, pre-aims, speedhacks and many other things. for instance, it might take a snapshot of the server and see guy A hiding behind a box. guy B shoots directly at the guy's head through the box.. the plugin detects a wallhack because guy B couldn't have possibly (aurally or visually) known guy A was hiding there. when version .4x comes out i have high hopes that it will be in a workable state, as i have been sending the author data myself to ensure that it doesn't produce false positives. until v.4x is released and tested it should be used as a guide for admins, do NOT set this to actually autoban. http://www.steambans.com/ steambans is a 3rd-party site with vac-like plugins. basically they accept demos of cheaters, add the cheaters to a database, and any server with the plugin installed will deny cheaters on the steambans list. the source version for linux is still in the works if you guys run a linux box. -------------------------------------------- all those together with VAC2 should ensure a very cheat-free server.
July 4, 200520 yr we had some sort of admin cheat detector but now that the server has been reinstalled idk if its on there or not
July 5, 200520 yr We actually do the Steambans procedures and submit them for review. Wel... most of the other admins do anyway. I have a tendency to be impatient and just kick the smacktards off the server without giving them time to play :peace:
July 5, 200520 yr Author that's good, the more cheaters that are in the steambans database the better.
July 11, 200520 yr Author is it possible to get autoban installed on the armory? i'd like some public testing of it. you could disable the banning feature and i could monitor the scores people are getting while i play, to check and see how accurate it is. it gives insane amounts of points for wallhacking now, and the author claims it has wallhack/noflash hacks completely disabled in version 0.4 i'll give whoever installs it on the armory a hug. two if requested.
