The makers will give you a better answer but from what i understood, your assumption is correct: a bunch of info will be handled server side if possible (read: if it doesn't cause too much lag) and the client side information will be better verified server side before being "processed" (like BIATCH currently does).

Exemple: instead of sending "client: I've done 50 damage", it'll send: "I did damage with a rifle" and the server will tell how much damage a rifle does.

I don't know if this example is exactly what the TT-people do, but it's the principle.

I won't divulge everything, but yes it will completely replace RenGuard. And what gozy explained is indeed one part of the countermeasures.

Would it detect RoF and Velocity cheats too now? Pretty much the most seen cheats nowadays next to *cheat name removed*

Probably, those are handled via objects.ddb as far as I know, just like damage.

I believe the prefered term is "*cheat name removed*", it is kinda like one of those names people are scared to say for a superstitious reason.

That's prolly because they're the "only" "undetectable" cheats that can do serious damage.

Yes they will be detected, and no I won't say how. Suffice to say that even if what we are putting in now is bypassed after a while I still have some backup ideas.

TBH: if you say that whoever plays around with bypasses will get their Renegade serial banned off xwis, that would already be a good signal to some people.

Or better: create an unique TT hash, based on a combination of variables and ban that. Then people would need to change their hardware / OS / ... to get unbanned.

...I was under the impression that RG currently uses a hardware ban.

YaRR bans something that only changes when you change your isp, though this way does have one problem, if someone were to live on the same street with the same isp they would be banned(this is very unlikely to happen) here's a link: http://dcomproductions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=860&start=0

To me this system works pretty well.

Changing hardware for some people would not be that big of a hassle, changing the isp on the other hand can be a big hassle.

Changing ISP's ain't hard, it's just that you can usually only change once a year Razz.

Thing is: who would be foolish enough to change hard- or software each time he wants to cheat on Renegade?

I have 5 Renegade capable computers sitting around fully set up at my house, if I wanted to change hardware just to cheat on renegade its not that hard, they all connect to my wireless network but I can easily access my neighbor's networks as well, so if it came to an easy IP change it only takes a few seconds to switch to someone else's router...

I have 3 Renegade capable computers, I could have 4 if I felt like fixing one of my older ones.

Yes it does, but only one component that doesn't need to be physically changed in any way to bypass the ban.

forcing a hardware change can never be done anyway, one can always change the detection code to make it detect whatever hardware they want.

But it's better than nothing. Especially if the general public is unaware of it.. Though it's still 'hackable', it makes it more difficult, especially to the average player. Sarcasm
