Opticalsnare 12 Posted June 5, 2007 Well i mostly been playing on the Berzerk games and for the past 3 days theres been a sharp increase in people playing with hacks.. One player was able to have unlimited ammo, we started to notice this after this player was in a vulcan and was firing non-stop for about 5 mins. Another player was using some kind of stupid explosion hack that destoryed everything and killed everyone without the player being indentfied there was not much to do as there was about 50 players on the server, in the end the admin closed the server altogether. Edit: Last night someone was spawning AI Snipers in the base, which resulted in alot of players getting TKed at the spawn, his name was "Duck" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you are near ammotruck, you can fire ~5min non-stop. Then ammotruck is empty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FAF_DRAKO 1 Posted June 6, 2007 One of the most simplest ways to prevent hacks in ArmA is to host Servers with equal Mod only. So if you have no MODs then they can't have any either. This eliminates about 75% of the wannabe Hackers. Problem with this is that then most servers would have to be Vanilla ArmA to avoid any hacks period. Another way is to scan there files before entering you server... Problem with this is that just scanning the weapons file takes for freakin ever so you server will be really slow on entering.

maddogx 13 Posted June 6, 2007 I've been working on a script collection called SWAF AntiCheat, but I've been a bit reluctant to release it, because BI claims to have properly implemented the .bisign method in 1.08. If that is true, the anti-cheat scripts shouldn't be needed I think. If that still doesn't keep the cheaters out though, I'll finish up and release the scripts.

ArMoGaDoN 0 Posted June 6, 2007 Weird experience the other day: a guy joined server, used some freaky thing to create an army of zombies and a few kings in the centre of town. Spoiled the match that was happening, but it did take everyone by surprise. A funny cheat in the right circumstances, but annoying nonetheless in a serious game.

trut 0 Posted June 6, 2007 ah, cheaters, my favorite kind of people online... you can only be sorry for them. no matter how hard they try, they just cannot come up with a cheat to solve their problem. no cheat will get their tiny p****es bigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's the guys who just want to be better than others to fight their inferiority complexes, then there are the griefers who want to destroy the fun for other people because they are unable to form normal social bonds, some just make hacks for the money.... Most people who use cheats either have one or the other psychological disorder or they are just immature, but not all of them are trying to compensate for miniscule genitalia (although some undoubtedly are  ). There have been a few quite interesting studies about online cheaters recently. Once you realize how pitiful most of these people are, it really does make you feel kind of sorry for them. Poor guys.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smellyjelly 0 Posted June 6, 2007 The best thing to do is just tell them they have psychological problems and then leave, or continue to expand on how you're not making fun of them do to anger, but pity that they have sunk so low. Most hackers just do it to make other people angry, and if you start yelling childish remarks, you should realize they don't care. Infact, they are sitting on the computer laughing at you. The trick is to use bigger and more direct words so they have to think about what you're saying. Calling them a idiot will make them happy, but if you actually go inside their mind and suggest logical reasons for the root of the problem, (like they were made fun of as a child), then you may strike a nerve. The worst thing the hacker could do at this point is come back with a bunch of his friends and totally destroy the server. The best they could do is just leave, (I wouldn't expect an apoligy, but I've been wrong before   ) That's my theory though. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I've never seem a hacker in this game, although I don't play too much multiplayer anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blakord 0 Posted June 6, 2007 Bis you got a big problem here, this is geting worse, today every server I have played (around 10) was fucked for this cheats, I have all the night without finish just 1 mission This cheats are not made for get super frags, this cheats are made for fuck the game to ever1, the people must lost the game interest if you can't fix it ASAP Arma can permanently ban game ID of cheaters, the problem is they are using dynamic game ID, I think detect and autoban the people changing the ID during the game is easy, now you need find the way to detect a fake game ID of players incoming to game, consider if the people can play with fake ID they can also play with pirate copy of the game anyway, WE NEED IMMEDIATE HEEEEEELP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daikan 1 Posted June 6, 2007 The worst thing is, more and more people are getting banned for no reason. Simply because many server admins often cannot distinguish between a cheat/hack and a game/mission bug or feature even. I guess that's the bad side of a complex game-engine combined with user-driven content. I can see a neverending learning curve ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Leader 1 Posted June 6, 2007 yesterday i was playing evo and this guy was flying a cobra w/ only 10 points. he had a weird hack name with weird symbols. Map bug, bot can use all vehicle as driver/pilot When you got 10 points, you became caporal and so you can recruit one AI. So you can use all vehicles ! The gunner place doesn't require point, you can go gunner with 0 point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, that's not it.... ah, sod it - BANNED! Jokes aside... Hehehe, actually come to think of it, most hackers I've seen did use leet speak in their names. They must actually think it's cool.

I personally would be all for it, but many people are against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, that's not it.... ah, sod it - BANNED! good one. you can say I was asking for it. but, really, most hackers use weird characters as an effort not to get kicked out. one time, admin just couldn't reproduce the player name with ``˛˘^°˘°˛^#"$ or whatever in it to kick the guy off. and it's something like truut (or troot) stands for "male bee" in croatian. you know, the lazy f*ck that doesn't do a thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
