Nope, still exist "proof of code" to modify client cvar to bypass sv_pure, allow wireflame wallhack etc, what isnt detected by VAC, i have no idea if is this code public, but if servers sv_pure is 1 and clients is 0, and VAC dont take care.. something is wrong here.. > Then, maybe VALVe could add some sort of code for the detection of memory > hacks to be automatic, like it would check for the server value, and if the > client value is different or forced to an other value, you would get kicked > from the server? (not VAC banned since people could probably use some sort > of plugin to trigger the detection) Yes, there are many plugins to check players cvars, like sv_pure, but it doesnt works well.. specialy for memory cheats, r_Drawothermodels is 2 on client (wireflame wh), but client console and server say its 1 (default) .. you can use eventscripts or sourcemod to check variables on client, as you can see with "xray anticheat" (what make screenshots on clients), many cheaters use just this type of wireflame wh, becouse public memory cheats are not checked/detected by VAC.. i have no idea why.. > The main problem in L4D is the VPKs files not being checked for > modifications by Steam, like it does for GCF.

Becouse valve released sv_pure, and they think it can do everything, but its not true! _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
