Today i was on my own server enjoying a game of instagib when 2 people connect:

-Paxybetle
-CC_machene

these people had really fast rifles, could run fast and they were almost invincible. I used /setmaster 1 and asked them to leave before i kicked them, and CC_machene said "no we will crash the server". i typed /kick 4 and he was not kicked, and paxybetle then said "right we are crashing the server. the server crashed.

I also remember the ISPs of the cheaters, they were both on BT.


Please help stop these cheaters!!!

though.. crashes should be fixed, what about a segfault handler with backtrace/other info to send to the dev team?

there is a neat stacktrace when sauer crashes (on win32 anyway), sadly 99% of sauer crashes are in drivers, which give no stack traces.

and multiplayer crashes... well, with knowledge of the source, its impractical to protect against all possible combinations of illegal data being sent.

I have never seen/had a crash because of another player. And I play quite a lot.

I actually wrote a patch that started GDB on sauerbraten when it crashed, if there's any interest I'll try to dig it up.

Please do.

Unfortunately, it is truly unfeasible to prevent cheating. I encountered two cheaters recently, one by the name of Patriots. He had some sort of one-hit-kill cheat, and ended up getting kicked. Another (same game) was able to jump very high, though either he stopped or left. I never got the nick.

It may be prudent to grab master mode, though, if you're going to play with a bunch of untrustworthy people. I usually grab it when I enter a coopedit game (so that I can one, prevent malicious players from grabbing it and kicking everyone, and two, so taht I can kick destructive players or those who only create huge junk structures for the purpose of slowing down computers).

Here you go:

Apply from top level sauerbraten directory. I wrote it against the occlusion edition, but it works OK with the water edition. Currently only really works if sauerbraten was started from a terminal window, but it wouldn't be too hard to have it detect if it hadn't been and launch an xterm instead.

I've never been one for online gaming (always preferring single player modes where I can be in god mode and stuff... I'd never cheat with anyone else)

But after some exposure to Call of Duty multiplayer, I decided to see what Sauer was like online so I dropped in the official Linux client binary and connected up to a server. Wow! I've never seen such fast game play. The guys who are really good can dance around and you'll have trouble getting them even with the machine guns. I enjoyed it a lot, even though I of course suck, with all the bad habits I've picked up from playing single player games in god mode over the years.

However, late at night (well, early morning) there aren't many servers with players on them in the list so you just have to join whatever one has a game going.

I was on an instagib game (serpentine map) last night and I encountered some "cheaters". Some hack that was like a ray trace of instagib projectiles, and allowing the users to fly around the map. It made the game pointless. I was getting killed so fast I couldn't even dig in my menus to change games. I just exited the program.

Probably some goggle eyed pimple wizards who couldn't get a date if they bought them dried in a tin.

If you wanna have a good game, http://woop-clan.net/ fight against us ;)
Public gameplay became boring to me for some reason, and now private games are much more fun cause you're not playing efficiency at complex with 20 people ;)

#23: A new game mode

by Rasputin [NOR] on 01/25/2007 18:37

Drakas: I propose a new game mode just for map Complex: Super Dual-Rocket Arena! =)

Again... There is no point in posting nicknames of cheaters in the forums. People will only be offended and so on... this has been discussed before.
