I was curious if the "* cheat name removed* Test" works on the neutral team.

As many already know, a way to test for the aimbot is to have the accussed type a series of characters which require the shift key (which is used for the aimbot).

Normally you would position the accused, facing someone on his own team, with someone of the opposite team standing directly behind him. If the person hits the shift key and spins around to face the person behind him (opponent) he is using the aimbot. It does not matter how you map your controls because when you are in F2 chat you cannot turn your character by hitting the X key (or if you've mapped it to Shift as some cheaters would try to argue).

So, back to my question, if you are on team 0wned (the neutral team that NR uses for moderators and accused so they can test) ... and you run the test ... will it still work properly? I tend to think that it would not. But I would like someone with more experience on this matter to say yes or no so I have a clear answer.

Thank you.

Considering the latest version of *cheat name removed* allows you to specify any key as the aimbot trigger (not just the shift) then testing for it is pretty much impossible, regardless of the team.

exactly. though, *cheat name removed* aimbot will only lock on targets in visible range (in your fov). so if no enemy is in your fov (behind you or something) it just wont aim at that target. so 180° spins arent possible anymore anyways. furthermore its possible to temp. disable *cheat name removed* right ingame at all.

I wouldn't think so. If "Neutral" is neutral, it wouldn't have an opponent. I think you should form a little test server, 3 people, 1 nod, 1 gdi, 1 neutral, have the neutral point different direction, and etc. test it out. I am quite interested as well.

If someone from BHS can confirm what was said above, that's a good enough answer for me.

Test it our yourself. I would think BHS would need to test this for themselves, since the answer is unclear, and Westwood wanted to create a 3rd enemy, but never cared to finish it, they might have added the features necessary to make it an "enemy" and we just call it neutral.

Fortunately, I am eligible to test this. -_- But I was hoping for a simple answer. I'll assume there isnt one.

I think we'll go back to the "old" method, If the Admins/Mods think they are getting pwned too much, ban! Razz (Joking)


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

lol! at least this is kinda fool-proof Wink
imho a good, attentive mod is better than any AC software/detection method anyways. its sometimes just _too_ obvious if someone is cheating.

Point well stated and taken. The best way to spot cheats is to keep your eyes peeled for stuff that's not normal ingame. It takes some experience and practice, I know, but it is VERY effective.

Yeah, I had to ban one of my mods yesterday because he was a havoc and did a pp run on under ... and somehow managed to take out the power plant with four timed c4's..........absolutely impossible without the pt anywhere cheat. No other way to replicate that.

I managed to do that in an inf-only server, the spawn weapon somehow gave me like 4 C4s (why on earth it did I have no idea, but I didn't complain), plus the one I had originally. Not saying this is the case for you, but it's one possible way to do it.

Are you 100% sure it was timed c4? The guy could have exploded his remote c4 first, then the timed c4 would kill the building. Or on some modded servers, or as a glitch, the timed C4 can spawn after an enemy has been killed.

What a conundrum you present. On the one hand you're praising a human moderator over anti-cheat software, and on the other hand you're devoting so much of your time (which might be better spent attending school or getting a job, forgive me that I don't know how old you are) to invalidate that.

I suspect you're just rather dim-witted...

Ask them to, without leaving the game, take a screenshot of their RenGuard window with "secure link established" at the top of the dialog box.

It doesn't matter. After the "secure link established" bit it injects *cheat name removed*. You probably wouldn't be able to see the message it gives when you join a server anyway.

He'll probably just make it so *cheat name removed* no longer prints anything in the dialog box though.

fair point.

why cant they update rg so it checks application titles?

one simple update server side (ie a list of banned application titles) and rg would recognise the new title, i suppose he would update it to randomise the title but surely that would slow em down or at least annoy them.

do you think rg will release a fix for his "*cheat name removed*" any time soon?

i hate cheaters, personally all cheats should be registered as Virus' so the av programs automatically delete em. Big Ups

mhh no.. i would rather block the check for application titles just like the check for cheat files and so on. that would make the whole check useless and can approx. be done very quick.
plus you have to think about that the *cheat name removed* loader (so the main gui application) doesnt have to run. so i could just load renguard, inject the hook and immediately close the main gui.

and for the screenshot of renguard thing: yes i think there will be an option to hide the *cheat name removed* output in renguard in the next version. or at least to remove it on demand for a screenshot or something since its a nice to have debug output (to see if its actually working and stuff).

so its indeed really hard to catch someone. the "cheaters" are somehow always one step in front. like blazer said once: everything is "crackable" and its often easier to bypass something or not getting caught than prevent cheating or catching someone.

And people have been insulting TheKOSs2 for no more using tests to catch cheaters for the last half year.

Why are you making another version of *cheat name removed*? Is someone paying you to develop cheats for Renegade? Seriously, why are people picking on Renegade, why don't they go develop cheats for huge games like BF2 and whatnot :-\

Are you sure he didn't kill an engi in pp, and picked up his C4 ?
