Hackers!!!

[Vampire]

This game is full of hackers
I was able to create modified versions of the player textures and added ignorez commands to that you can see it all through walls. Since I could see through walls I noticed at least 6 other players who could notice me and would follow me as well.
I've also noticed some of the new players quitting in frustration after a couple of rounds.
You guys need to fix the hacker problem.
The only server I couldn't get into was the quad eye server because they have something called sv_pure installed in their plug ins. I checked around and found some more information about it here:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1116

If you guys can install this plug-in it would be great.

These hacks are not easy to spot, many people could play for months without anyone noticing they are hacking. Sv_Pure will prevent people with modified textures from getting in in the first place because it checks to see if the textures you are playing with match up with everyone else's. Plus this game will be more welcoming to noobs.
Please install this plugin on every server

Thank you

Vampire:

Neotokyo prides itself at taking care of hackers personally. If someone is hacking, it becomes much more fun to beat him at his own game and best him even though you are not hacking. Failing that, we have a designated "Anti-Hacker Clan" that specialises in killing hacking players. Last of all, the developers constantly ask the community to provide steamid of know hackers, after which they get a hardcode ban via the game itself. Read on for SOP if you encounter a hacker.

First of all, the next time you see a hacker try and notify the server admin (if he's there). You can even make a demo so it doesn't just sound like you're making stuff up and send it to him (e.g. Econsole has a website name that flashes during the screen - all you need to do is remember it and go there after you finished playing and make a thread etc.).

Second of all, this forum has its personal "Hackers & Griefers" thread ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1054&start=60 ). All you need to do is provide the players' steamid and have a link to a .dem file that show a persona hacking (in this case, following you constantly).

Finally, we are a small community. If you have a microphone, all you need to shout is "So-and-so is hacking. Be careful." Most of the major players know each other, so if you explain to someone that "this guys is hacking", they'll most likely pass it along to an admin.


And about sv_pure.... it's not perfect. Moreso, it's a bit buggy. However, thanks for your input, and we would appreciate if you continue to scout of hackers for us.

Actually, what I'd like is a "modified content warning system". Like sv_pure, only instead of not allowing you in when you have modified files, it'll announce to everyone that someone is using modified files, and (if possible) say which files have been modified.

This would be useful to spot those few players who seem to have an almost unnatural feel of the map ("There's probably a guy in there, so I'll shoot just to make sure. *blam*. Ah. there was").

And yes, sv_pure is buggy. It once made me delete a file which, when deleted, would spam 'fuck me' in console and break things..

Anyone else notice he jsut addmited to a form of hacking himself?

Or are we letting that slide?

An enemy of my enemy is my friend...

I'm letting it slide if he can give me some names of the people that were also hacking.

If he had any malicious intent (as in gain an unfair advantage due to cheating), he probably wouldn't have posted here. Thus, we can assume that the OP's actions were done purely for the sake of investigation and to report to the developers if he managed to succeed.

We can only hope.

I use this, this & this

Aslong as the svar does not reject those, I'm fine with that.

first link provides an unfair advantage over other players. half of the reason supports throw smoke isn't just to make smoke, its to force an action out of the enemies by them thinking oh shit frag. in my book you're cheating, and just as bad as dyntai.
