An idea might be that the half-life game itself (valve guy stuff) would do more of a "security check" on the mod being loaded. The game is provided the location of the .dll (or .so) to load, so why not do something like a CRC on the mod, compare it do a crc of the actual distributed file by the mod authors, and if it matches, let it load. If there is something in the way like admin mod (or a hack), it wont load the game, or the client will report to the server that there is something in the way of the mod being loaded, and the server can then decide what to do. Of course I myself could make a list of the flaws of this idea, but its just a base of something that could be improved upon. Throw out some suggestions people, I know there are more people than myself that want to see cheating gone, or atleast controlled. -- leming
