[hlds_linux] Possible addition to help catch cheaters.
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I currently use AMX on my server which with a plugin allows you to do a snapshot on the clients side. If there was a way to force the client to upload the screencap to the server then we could view it and see if the person is using a wallhack. Currently I have found no way. The upload command seems to only allow upload of models, decals, and something else. Maybe Valve knows of a way already to do this?

Now that is a WHOLE lot of work to catch cheaters but an interesting idea. Mind sharing the meta plugins? Jeremy ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Only problem was... pretty soon the cheats detected that a snapshot was being taken and thus made them selfs invisable as the screen was taken. Thus you are most probably just going be wasting bandwidth as well as a lot of time (some poor sod will actually have to look trough all the images manually to detect cheats). -- /Stefan Software never has bugs.

The stock ones tell the client about the screenshot, so you have to remove that code. Email me OT and I can probably send my edited .sma's to you. And as Stefan says, theres ways to intercept the call, and detect it, but for a while it was a pretty good way - we caught a lot of cheaters amongst our regulars who were tearing it up. If no one was suspicious or complained about them, we didn't hassle them at all, but a few complaints and we'd take a few SS's. Still, when we got one - the evidence could not be disputed, and we would post the screenshot on our web forums for everyone to see.
