Author Topic: Feature Request: Limit sv_minclientbuild (Read 8036 times)

Zorchenhimer · « **on:** May 22, 2008, 10:52:15 AM »

I propose to have the sv_minclientbuild cvar not be able to be set under build 18 (17 wasn't an official release). This will effectively eliminate the ZGH cheaters.

Knack: I would prefer that too. But I have a feeling this has a better chance of getting implemented.

KnacK · « **Reply #5 on:** May 22, 2008, 02:03:38 PM »

Sorry, its just one of my pet peeves as you will always have those trying to cheat the system.

I thinked for a long time and decided to go with this. As long as it stops hackers. But jits just said in there to do this.

Most cheaters don't even go on these forums. They make a account on here just so they can try to argue their ban. What you say here most likely won't be a problem.

lets just get this implemented without a vote so we can rid of most of these hackers

You so stupid. Why?

Everything has to be voted on. Everything. You want something pushed to the front that badly, donate money. Other people have other priorities that probably don't exactly mirror your own.

This should be a REALLY simple thing to do, so why can't jits write 1 line of code and get it over and done with?

jitspoe · « **Reply #12 on:** May 28, 2008, 09:10:34 AM »

It's not really that simple. If server admins want people with older clients to be able to connect, they'll stop updating the server (hard enough to get them to update as it is). Also, it will just force the need for a new cheat that works with a more current version of the game, which is more of a headache than just dealing with the already existing and detectable cheats. I'd rather have somebody use a known cheat, get caught and banned, than have somebody find or create a new cheat that isn't currently detectable and get away with it.

Edit: But whatever... I'll put it up for vote anyway. http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10146

I've been following this forum for years, and he's said it probably 12-20 times.

yeah, well, if you look at the date I joined the forums....

isn't it against the law to hack computers?

i_am_a_pirate · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2008, 03:10:46 PM »

Don't think so. DP is free so I'm not sure that it is illegal

EDIT

I'm gonna get flamed for that.. I'M IN A HURRY!!!

Garrett · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2008, 03:14:45 PM »

What these 'hackers' are doing isn't hacking. Its just a common word that people use in the place for the word 'cheater'.

It's against the law to break into someone else's property, yes. There were some laws passed about that that pertain specifically to computers and such, but I can't remember what they are. But what these people are doing aren't hacking in the sense you're thinking of.
