True, these kind of 'cheats' are beyond control of the game itself. However, aim-bots do need to adjust game information somehow. This is where could be worked on. When most holes are fixed or when using an option to force clients to load specific modules (and nothing else) there are a lot of cases of possible cheating eliminated.
Any other possible cheat or problem that is not because of the game, should not be the responsibility of the game creator. A good conversation between the company and those who provide drivers and sofware would be nice though. I'd say, hunt every cheater down and destroy their HD... I bet they won't try it again ;) -Stefan -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Jeffrey "botman" Broome Verzonden: maandag 23 februari 2004 19:03 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [hlcoders] CS Cheats - Aimbot in 1.6.

The problem is not so much the game code (or engine code) but the problem is instead with the code the engine relies on (the operating system and the drivers used to render video frames). Clients can alter the way the operating system behaves (unbeknownst to the game). Clients can alter the way the video drivers display information (wireframe mode and such). The problem is that the Windows OS and Windows drivers are NOT secure and can not be trusted. -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
