Indeed. Aimbots in particular totally ruin the game for people that want to play fair, and nothing will clear a server out faster, often before you even get a chance as an admin to get rid of them. We can detect or prevent a lot of things with various scripts and plugins (and with varying degrees of success), but there is still no real, effective aimbot detection available for most Valve games. It seems to me that a party (Valve) with true unfettered access to the internals of the game engine on both client and server side, would be in the best position to create ways to catch aimbots in use that minimize load on the server. If there was one thing I could ask for from the Valve developers, this would be it. However preventing clients from loading plugins, etc. should be a big help and a good start, if it works. cheers, PharaohsPaw _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
