Pretty useless, it just makes you appear to be spinning around in circles to anyone that's spectating, not entirely sure what the actual player sees, but yeah. Pretty obvious.
Incase you guys haven't been monitoring the normal HLDS mailing list, here's the NonSteam info to bring you up to speed on those annoying hackers that have a seemingly unlimited supply of keys: I've had success testing out the "hack" of steam called "non-steam". It's basically a version of steam that originally allowed you to play Counter-Strike 1.6 and other mods offline. Recently though, an extra patch has evolved it so that it allows you to play online -without a cd key-. That's right, it exploits the SteamID System and allows you to play online without registering a key to an account. You still need to change accounts to change ID's though. Website for it is currently down (the primary one, at least) as it got owned by it's webhost, but there are still a number of sources that allow you to download it from. Non-Steam can be used to connect to any half life or half life mod server without a cd key. When combined with the afformentioned VAC Disabler v2 and a multi-hook, this becomes "[myg0t]"'s playtoy. So to anyone who is having issues with hackers that have an endless supply of ID's, do yourselves a favour and ban their IP addresses. It's harder to change those (which isn't saying much for steam at the moment). The discussion on the HLDS mailing list has been going on for a while, check the archives if you're interested in specific details and test results, but the end result is: The SteamID system has been completely compromised and anyone can play Half-Life or it's mods for free. So the only way to get rid of persistent hackers is to report them to their ISP, and hope to hell their policies cover this kind of abuse (if you're in australia you can also [if you're really bored] take the cheater to court and possibly get them jailed under cybercrime's Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) s 478.1(1) - http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/comact/11/6458/0/CM000070.htm ) Not posting this information on STEAM forums, generally people that run servers are mature enough to not go and abuse it, but the more people who complain the higher the chance of something being done about it. Heh, who knows, maybe we can get Vivendi to get on VALVe's arse with this, since they are essentially allowing free distribution of their game by not solving the issue =) - Bruce "Bahamut" Andrews -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ronny Schedel Sent: Friday, 1 October 2004 11:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Awesome news for vac team What is a spinhack? > http://www.darkcheats.net/php/dbcheats/?game_id=15 > > SPECIAL QUOTE: > 25-09-2004 Vac Disabler V2 > <http://www.darkcheats.net/php/dbcheats/?cheat_id=366> Enables you to > use any not vac proof cheat on VAC servers!
