There are other types of cheating other than mods of cube, for example:
using a modded map to give the player an advantage (e.g. flood the map to enable flying to dodge rockets etc.)

btw zooming is included in 22.05.2004 release`s autoexec.cfg file. Q + mouse wheel. so i don`t think it should be considered as cheating.

holy cr*p. i never knew that. (checks) he's right!
good lord i feel dumb. here we've been, discussing this thing for so long, we've made little scripts for zooming, and so on, and then someone calmly tells us the whole thing is a moot point.
ouch, hardcore.

I've created a new config script for those that really don't like people messing with fog levels on their maps. You can get it here: http://cube.snieb.com/node/73
Whether you can change fog levels should be the mappers choice, and if you know enough to override this, you probably have earned the right to anyways...
NOTE: I am NOT a programmer. This was a crash-course for me with programming, so it probably isn't very efficient (And it's definately not secure). If anyone wants to make a better .cfg for this, be my guest.
P.S.: Hey, Aard - how about including an editing option to decide whether the map automatically 'voids' the 'fog' command when loaded on DM servers?

About creating a modified map and playing with it instead of "correct one":
Items must be "acknowledged" by server before you really receive it. If you use a map with items more items than "normal one", the server won't allow you to use all of them.
About using a "-127" map: I don't think it is possible to avoid. I can think in two things:
1. When I join a game and I don't have the map, the cube/sauerbraten should show me a dialog box (or just a menu) asking me if I want to download the map.
1.5 If I join a game and I have the map, cube/sauerbraten should check the MD5 of current map with the server's map. If they differ, cube/sauerbraten should ask me if I want to update current map (and make an automatic backup of previous map).
2. If someone still uses a modified map (cheating), then whe should "apply" some anti-cheat techniques. I described my ideas here:
