While i was tweaking my cs source to get the most frames per second out of my videocard I accidentally found a cvar exploit that makes the player see through some objects like crates , old cars, boxes and other stuff! I wanted to post this cvar to the steampowered forums but i dont got any confirmation e-mail of my registration over there so i cant post @ steampowered forums for now... ANIMATED GIF of xploit in action: http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/CSSCHEATCVAR.GIF SOME PICTURES of xploit: http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit1.jpg http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit3.jpg http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit4.jpg http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit5.jpg http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit6.jpg http://members.home.nl/gazoz/pics/cvarxploit7.jpg You can see through objects and through some windows in the wall! But as you can see in the animated gif you cant see through object when you are close to it! Only when you get some distance the object begins to fade away and finally dissapears completely. This makes it clear that this was meant as a fps tweak. If you dont see the object until you come closer you dont lose unnecessary fps, but with this kind of unwanted advantage people will think twice before they camp behind a crate again! This exploit cant be called a "real" wallhack but it makes enough people (like me) worry Valve should consider removing these cvar tweaks even though they might give a reasonable fps boost! I cannot tell which cvar (or collection of cvars) do this! Dont bother me with it. I dont support cheating or laming so please dont ask me how i did it! But if one of the csnation admins would wanna send e-mail to valve i would gladly give the info about this exploit so valve can FIX it! People can make bad use of this exploit so valve should fix it with their next update. For example make those cvar/ cvars only available when sv_cheats is set to 1. Funny note: This is what John Romero had to say about it: (he was the first one that i showed the animated gif LOL)! Romero:wow, that's definitely a bug! Romero:send it to gabe. -- [ image001.gif of type image/gif deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
