This have been tried over and over again and always resulting in a dead project.
Look at PB. They started out as a free anticheat. They got greedy and wanted to make money at their product. After PB there where quite a number of anticheat systems trying to fill PB's place. CSGuard and CD was born in this area. I think there where about 10 different options of anticheat software, which rendered that they never got used and one after the other they all died. HLGuard and CD are those that survived. Then came VAC and later VAC2. Sooner or later a free AC will either die or they try to go commersial. Its how programmers works. They want to get payed for the time they spend programming. This is also the reason OpenSource projects are doomed. I believe the OpenSource era is soon dead. Some larger projects will survive, but those are not made in a real non-profit way. These will be supported by larger companies and the developers will get paid. /Bjorn On Fri, 17 Feb 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We should convince some programmers with (re-)writing a "real" anticheat. > We need a mixture of CD, HLGuard and SSClient/Server... > > The people around HLGuard may add an additional client to HLGuard as an > option, > which is able to scan the processes on clients...
