Cheating issue: A Solution?

Processor,

I suggest going through and deleting all of the childish derailing posts. This can be a great, constructive thread without all the nonsense in it. Once you delete this guys for a while, they'll start to get the hint and go find some other post to flame.

It is common for threads to go off topic and / or become total cluster fucks in these forums.

I suggest just deleting it. A lot of these kids don't have any respect for anyone but eventually they'll get bored and move on. Prime example of what happens when parents don't discipline their kids, they end up being tastyspleen forum trolls! hehe

Sorry to see your own clan mate doing it though, figured he'd have a little more respect for your thread, but i guess a troll is a troll...

Focalor is no troll.
He and I share many of the same ideas and morals.

So go fuck yourself.


lol

ps, go away, Pres. Palin

Don't tell me that's who this newbie is..

ROFL!

You're all horrible.  STFU, kthx!

I concur.

If you have a Shut-The-Fucker-Upper that's in working condition, I'd be happy to provide the gas to run it. Go nuts with it around here. You might have to run over X'tyfe with it SEVERAL times to get the job done, that guy NEVER shuts up.

Really tho, there's a simple solution here that would allow you to go about your business after proving that you're legit:
DEMO OR STFU.

Neither do you...

Processor,

Delete all the flames so we can continue this thread, the baby trolls will get the message at some point, trust me. Once they all get some nap time in and a baabaa they'll go away. I don't think they'll hold it against you or feel like you're playing sides, I'm sure even they know they look like idiots with all this incessant hot air.

Does that include deleting your post/posts that are also off-topic, "feeding the trolls", or as you put it, "defending yourself"? It obviously bothers you enough to feel you have to defend yourself constantly, instead of being the bigger man and just ignoring the off-topic posts, as opposed to flaming right back. 

Back on topic:

The TDM demo recording could possibly be enhanced using a "flag" command" similar to what you see in emails. Players in a match can type "flag player" is they feel there is a possibility of cheating and this can be attributed to the demo they are recoprded in. This ID's the demo as suspect and the admins can filter out demos that have things in common with each other (number of flags in the round, player total flags in the round, frequency of player being flagged)

I like the idea in general. 

I still think the first step would be adding the ability for the server to auto-record a serverdemo with everyone's point of view.  (Like warsow does.)

Technically, this would be something I or others should be able to incorporate into OpenTDM fairly easily.  Alternately, it could be scripted, which would probably be better, as then it could work with any mod.

Unfortunately, I doubt our system has the ability to handle recording serverdemos from several dozen q2 servers simultaneously.  So it's likely a feature that would have to be limited to a subset of servers (like the tourney servers.)

Alternately, I suppose a 'tag' or 'report' command could trigger a serverdemo record...  But of course you'd miss the actual moment that inspired the 'tag' in the first place, so... it would be preferable to always be recording serverdemos if possible...

Anyway...

Some possibilities to ponder...

Regards,

I could see that it would be a resource hog to try and server record ALL TS servers. For the tourney servers, I think it would be a godsend, as those are the servers that would get the most cheat accusations. I mean, on most other servers (i.e. Vanilla, Mutant, Xatrix, ect.) there are usually enough people around that someone would record a demo of a player that looks fishy.

I don't see how having a "tag" or "report" command would help much, as the person wanting to tag someone could just as easily record the demo themselves, unless it is on a tourney server during a match, which brings me back to liking the idea that all tourney servers would record server demo's in the first place.

In my case,I tried getting anticheat to work.Downloaded and installed the DLL,and tried each of the alternate executables that can use it. I normally run EGL 1.7 because I can actually move with it,and see things,unlike the other alternate EXEs out there that support anticheat.Just now,I tried R1Q2 and loading anticheat crashed it.Q2Pro won't load my model or any past the letter B,so that's out.And Aq2 crashed as well.

I don't cheat.Even when I am having my rare good days I get accused of it. But if everyone is forced to use anticheat,what happens to me? Winning is nice but not important,but being able to play is. The whole anticheat thing is but cobbled together stuff by fans,and consequentially not expected to work perfectly,as little in software does. I will stick to my 1.7 for now...and hope .Cheaters are out there,but they can only shoot what's in front of them after all

What OS are you running?

I got R1Q2 to run,but only by deleting anitcheat.When I tried loading it,it would give me"an unhandled exception error",and when I tried right clicking on the anticheat.dll,it would give me the option of Register Library ,but when I'd try it'd say"anticheat.dll was loaded but DllRegisterServer Entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered"...dunno if that helps,but now I acn try that supewr texture pack...as soon as I figure out how to make it bright enough to see!

*Edit* Digging through the forums of R1ch's site has let me stumble upon a thread with this gem:
"Quake 2 renders quite dark by default in OpenGL on newer cards.  I have to run gl_modulate 2, and intensity 2 just to be able to see. "
and it worked! I now can enjoy the new textures withoput a seeing eye bat to find the players!
