cube has gone mainstream. Idoits like lavaball, and cheaters in multiplayer. :)

@dcp- I understand that you are upset, but you seem to have a bit of temper. just calm down.

@lavaball- you are an idiot. also, never insult how a man talks on a forum thats "international" like this. What his primary language is German or French? are you even capable of putting a sentence together in either of those languages? Also, you arent excatly shakespeare- " i didn't talked to you".

sorry for flameing.

#3508: Cheaters

have people found a way to really cheat in multiplayer mode?

#3509: Re: Cheaters

by J-C-D-P-C on 10/28/2004 12:24, refers to #3508

yes... There are some VERY simple ways to cheat, plus i am aware of a modified client or something that allows you to have unlimited ammo with all weapons or something like that, no matter which game mode. I met someone who was using a rocket launcher during insta-gib.

By pressing E in Single Player mode deathmatch with other monster's(only in DMSP)is already cheating but there's another way of cheating by simply editing network code to have what-the-hell-ever-you-want also by just typing /GOD will let you in God Mode.

lol, and probably typing /disconnect will kill everyone on the level...

Then i can guarantee each player still present in the map will believe you're the best.

:S Just why do you have to keep on giving hints on how to ruin the game? I don´t understand.

#3514: Accept it.

Cube's security model is "hope nobody tries to hack it". Cheaters are going to happen, and they're going to be gods given Cubes client-side system. Once somebody sniffs out the net code, you could have the Darth Vader style "kill with a thought" stuff.

Deal with it. Play with people you know. Really, trying to get security on a PC game is a loser's game anyways - there are always more cheater hackers than security coders, and ultimately the client controls the graphics and the mouse, so at the very least aim-bots will never really be defeated.

A part of me wants to make an all-FPS aim-bot that works by simply hooking monitor-out of the screen into a monitor-capture-card and reading pixels from that, ultimately proving the futility of online gaming security. But that part of me is an asshole, and I tell him not to think such things.

#3515: LOL

by Lavaball on 10/28/2004 17:38

I dissagree with cheater's i never met one on Cube Master servers listed on the website nobody ever cheated on me well i dont believe Cube has cheater's if someone edited the network code he would automatickally get disconnected cause his network code is different so my Vote is No there cannot be any cheater's in Cube.

#3516: Re: LOL

by D.plomat on 10/28/2004 17:49, refers to #3515

Saying there can't be is a bit exaggerated, as any game can have cheaters, but in 2 years playing on the public servers i've never seen a cheater (or if there has been one, his cheat was so discrete that nobody noticed and so useless that he didn't get an overwinning score, lol)

#3517: Wait Ur Right

by Lavaball on 10/28/2004 18:29

Butt if the player type's a Code like start with 100000 Point's/Win's in the network code wont effect our net-code and he won't be disconnected that's a mean person then :|.

I think the easiest feature to combat cheating right now would be a ban vote thing. Then if someone is cheating (or maybe just being an asshole) the people can remove him from the server.

#3519: Heheh...

by Pxtl on 10/28/2004 22:24

thinking it over, the most complete approach would be to clone IRC into the system. IRC is a perfect example of using human controls to take care of an insecure system. If you want vote-to-kickban in IRC you have Op bots handle it. Ops are simply appointed, and the first person into a channel is automatically an op (so a persistent bot is used to maintain control).

Perhaps something similar would be appropriate?

"I met someone who was using a rocket launcher during insta-gib."

does "A.T.O.M." ring a bell? i think that was me, except i wasn't cheating. if i remember correctly, i think it had something to do with me having a rocket launcher during a SP game, or another server, and when the map changed, i still had it... or something along those lines :)

One way to deal with cheaters is every one else quit ... wouldn't work with a popular game where new people are coming on constantly though.

#3522: Re: Cheaters

by Lavaball on 10/29/2004 07:58

Yeah and what if someone foolish enough(or hacked into the admin system)and ban everyone from the server just like in Soldat www.soldat.pl some people hacked into the host and banned everybody from the server and might happen to Cube.

which is why it's up to the server admin(s) to make the server secure.

I got accused of cheating once, i was invincible! but a re-connect fixed it, just a funny little bug..

#3524: Happend to me its a LAG.

by Lavaball on 10/29/2004 13:16

The invincible bug happen's cause of High Ping/Lag you feel like you are the Terminator but its really a Big Lag it isnt a cheat at all nor a bug these thing's naturally happen's cause of Lag's but there is no Fix for Lag's Cause lag's are slave's of ping's and that cannot be fixed.
