f34r Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well recently I have seen a huge amount of cheaters infiltrating servers and just completely ruining the gameplay and "fun" for others. My question is what is being done to prevent these cheaters? Is there any sort of "Master" ban list? I'm just inquisitive as to the outcome of these questions......

f3llah1n Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Theyrell be an anti-cheat in later versions, just ban them for now and tell any admins you know I guess =| Unless someone makes a webpage with a list of IPs of cheaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopnz Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 It's on the way, I just haven't been around enough -- didn't get to take part in the public beta-testing. Check for updates every day or so in the devlog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeter Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well i dunno if its cheating or normal but some ppl can spawn cars anywhere, others seem to be invunerable. I hope theres some sort of online database where the program checks ip of everyone who plays the mp version and if that person is on the ban list then they should be blocked from joining any game from the online ip ban list.

Luke Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I strongly recommend that you use servers with good admins, we are working on things to deal with the problem (like a proper anti-cheat etc, few other plans that might get thrown into action). adam broke it.

Skeeter Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 How about having a official VC:MP servers hosted by say jolt.co.uk or some ppl like that? Then you could orginize some responcible admins to admin them to prevent cheaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3llah1n Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 so everyone can pack onto the same server and end up with a beta fiasco? i think basically if you run a server try and be around to admin it, and if there is a cheater everyone leaves.. so the server might as well be switched off if you arent around to admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=BDC=Empfys! Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah there's quite a few out there, I'm sure they know who they are. 2 days after it was released i saw the first 1 in Partyserver. Came accross a heap today as well, they just don't get that it'll only get them banned, why the hell do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Og_loc Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'ts inevitable there will be cheaters in any mod/game you play, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopnz Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'ts inevitable there will be cheaters in any mod/game you play, true, but a majority are ignorant and have no idea how the cheat works, they just want to "push F12 for unlimited health." [rant] IMO, cheating can be fun -- but it should be limited to single-player. [/rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they can't freaking spawn cars... I swear, that's the n00biest thing ever said. What it's caused by - someone moved a car while Player A was in a server. Player B joins after the car is moved. Player A gets in the car, and that car's position is not synced to Player B. Player B think's that Player A spawned a car (if they're a n00b), however, it's just a matter of the car's position not synced for Player B.

thesingh5716 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 yes its possible, it was possible for MTA also when a few anti MTA people made a few mods that allow you to spawn any car you wanted (only from MTA itself), and to spawn all cars at one point, this actually happend a few months ago and i had a screen shot of it!! all cars at one point..... there are synch problems of course, but when there are about 20 odd cars spawning around a person, thats scary..
