Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

No, U:1 pretty means much what STEAM_0 was, it's "Public" universe AFAIK.
It'll always be U:1. The X and Y values are only part of the latest number.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

It's simple. The old SteamID was STEAM_0:X:Y. Just do Y*2+X and you have
the new one.
e.g. STEAM_0:1:1337 => 1337*2+1= 2675 => [U:1:2675]

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

It seems that SteamIDs are just in the Steam3 format instead of Steam2 now.

All games have already been moved to SteamPipe and should be available

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin

[AnAkIn]

For the few still using it on this mailing list, just letting you know I
released the update.
Changelog:
- Fixed crash when trying to reload the plugin after it has been auto
updated
- Added a banlist system. Cheaters using prediction hacks and
anti-speedhack bypass hacks will be automatically banned if
aac_prediction_ban and aac_speedhackbypass_ban are set to 1 (default).
aac_banmethod 0 uses the local banlist, aac_banmethod 1 uses SourceBans.
For the local banlist, the banned cheaters can be seen with aac_showbans,
or by opening the aac_banned.txt file in the tf directory.
You can also remove a ban with the aac_removeban command.
- Improved autoshoot detections, they should now be more precise
- Added invalid viewangles detections (still experimental, will only log
for now)
- Added aac_logname to change the logfile’s name, useful when running
multiple servers from a same directory.

It's not specific to the latest beta update, but since one of the latest,
my TF2 Beta server crash every time after it makes a GC connection.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF beta updated released

[AnAkIn]

Yes it does change. sv_pure 2 was aimed at competitive players. The
whitelist was supposed to be forced, so the "away team" (as alfred calls
it) don't have to check if the sv_pure whitelist is correct when joining
the server of their opponent. The players could be sure that the server is
ready for the match by just checking if sv_pure is set to 2.

The problem is that the server admin can still modify that base whitelist?

You've also changed sv_pure 2 behaviour, please consider changing it back
to how it currently work (block everything) as this is useful for
competitive players who don't want to have to mess with a whitelist. See

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF beta updated released

[AnAkIn]

sv_pure still didn't work, it would kick me for invalid files every time.
Or was that fixed with today update?

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 beta server update

1) Quit Steam
2) Go to the SteamApps folder, delete appmanifest_10.acf and

3) Restart Steam
4) Make sure you are opted in the beta, and try to install CS again

Re: [hlds] Half-Life 1 dedicated server update released

[AnAkIn]

I wanted to test the CS 1.6 SteamPipe Beta today. Unfortunately, the server
browser is still spammed with thousand of fake servers, which seem all to
be from very similar IPs. Only the port is different for most of them. They
report being almost full, and there are only bots in those servers (which
seem to stay spectator).

Re: [hlds] -tickrate option added back with the latest TF2 update?

Setting tickrate to a non default value has always caused timing issues
with physics. Grenade launcher, stickybomb launcher will fire faster for
example IIRC.

Re: [hlds] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin

There seem to be a problem since latest TF2 update, the prediction hack
(crit hack/no spread) detection has many false positives. This may only
happen on MvM, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue yet.

Tick rate for gold source is set with sys_ticrate and it's the same as the

CS:GO do have the -tickrate option and the max is 128? At least that's how
it was last time I checked, or maybe that was changed recently.

[hlds] -tickrate option added back with the latest TF2 update?

[AnAkIn]

Hi,

Today, I found out that my servers were running at 100 FPS/tickrate. After
checking, I found out that -tickrate has been added back with the latest
TF2 update. I thought the plan was to have all servers run at a tickrate of
66. Why has the command line option been added back?

Re: [hlds] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin

[AnAkIn]

Update v1.8:
- The plugin has been renamed to AnAkIn’s Anti-Cheat as it got more than
the triggerbot detection
- The detections were not working for some servers running Sourcemod, this
has now been fixed
- New detection, name hacks, it detects if someone is using a different
name in game than on Steam. This detection requires the server to be
connected to a Steam account, otherwise it isn’t able to query the player
name.
You can create an empty Steam account and set the aac_accountname and
aac_password cvars to the account information.
You can check if the account has correctly connected to Steam with the
aac_accountstatus command.
DO NOT use the same account for more than one server. You can’t connect in
a Steam account from more than one place!

Note: the name hack detection SHOULD work without any issues, it has been
tested on some servers and I think I fixed any issues it might have so far.
I can’t say there won’t be any bug with it for now, as I’ve had some
problems with the way Steam sends the name for some people and had to make
a workaround, which is not perfect, but it can work. If it turns out to not
be working, I will find a different solution.

Fixing the redirect exploit would make them stop making fake servers.

Nice, there is no longer a thousand of fake servers with gametype "clasic".
There are still many non steam/cracked servers in the list though.

Re: [hlds] Fake player flood

[AnAkIn]

Is it actually supposed to be a problem on an HLDS or SRCDS server? In the
first mail you're showing a screenshot of a HLDS fake player flood program,
and now you're saying that you use SMAC.

I just found out that the plugin was broken since an update about two weeks
ago (it was not detecting anything anymore). I've fixed it and it should
now be more resistant to future updates.

[hlds] TriggerBot/Prediction hack(Crit hack/No spread) detection plugin

[AnAkIn .]

Hi,

As Valve is too lazy to do anything about hacks, I started working
back in January on a plugin that can detect:
- POTENTIAL triggerbotters
- Prediction hacks (crit hacks/no spread hacks)
- An anti-speedhack bypass exploit

Triggerbots:
To make it clear as some people I gave it to didn’t understand, the
detection is kind of “heuristic” (I won’t explain in detail, if I do
then the cheat coders will bypass it in no time), so it’s not because
someone got detected that he is surely cheating. It’s just a tool to
help you find people that can potentially cheat and you can just check
the STV demos then to confirm that they cheat or not.

The most detections for a single person in the less timespan you will
find in the log, the more likely he is using a triggerbot.

Prediction hacks:
I guess this is what will interest most people on this list, it
detects the crit hacks that does 100% crits all the time which is an
engine exploit which has been added into many hacks lately. It's also
used for various no spread/low spread hacks.

The detections get printed to a log called TriggerBotDetections.log in
tf/ (and are also sent to me) on EVERY MAP change or when all players
have disconnected from the server. It’s important to note this
otherwise you could loose all the detections (especially if your
server automatically restarts every night). There is a simple reason
for this: writing in a file while you play can cause lags, especially
if someone is getting detected a lot.

TF2 is free. You can just create a new account if you got blocked.

Re: [hlds] New feature in TF2 Beta dedicated server update

Is this supposed to be the solution to the increase of cheaters on TF2?
That'd be a pretty shit solution. Where are the hardware bans?

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise

[AnAkIn .]

The 'is player visible' checks are expensive, yes, but Valve can
probably optimize that and make it work better than it does with the
current plugins. They already use some multi threading code at some
places in the SRCDS code, it could be used for the anti wallhack code
as well. It it really causes some performance issues it could be a
CVar so people can decide if they want to enable it or not.

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise

Actually the server should not send the positions of the players who
are not visible at all, this is what Anti Wallhack plugins do.

Speedhacks and wallhacks could be blocked with server side code if
Valve wanted to.

It's still not easy to change the drive specific hardware ID for most
people. And do you really think cheaters are going to play in a VM
then?

VAC banned (doesn't seem to happen often, though) and every time they
create a new account and just keep cheating.

Maybe they could use the hardware information that the Steam client
already send them every time you log in?
- Network cards
- CD/DVD/Hard drives and others
(MediaType/Index/DeviceID/SerialNumber/Manufacturer)
- OS (Version, CD Key)
+ more stuff

As if Valve never thought of doing that. Back when F2P got released
they said they would do something against people creating multiple
accounts, and they never done anything.

DBlocker can actually detect some hacks that VAC & SMAC can't detect.

It wouldn't change the fact that VAC sucks and it can take them like 6

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[AnAkIn .]

Unless I am missing something, they seem to be talking about adding a game
event here, not anything new to the HUD?

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 Update Released

"- Added "DamagedPlayer" animation event for the HUD, fired when the local
player damages other players"

Anyone knows what's the use of that? Unless you're coding hacks, it seems
to be pointless.

Re: [hlds] Dealing with persistent cheaters

[AnAkIn .]

The plugin has already been posted on various cheat coding forums, and so
far no cheat coders have found how some of the detections were done, or at
least they haven't posted about it publicly.

Didrole (http://didrole.com/) is known for the others plugins and apps he
has done though, it's not like he's going to steal your data :/

Re: [hlds] Dealing with persistent cheaters

Releasing DBlocker source code would be pretty stupid since it would let
all cheat coders know how their cheats are being detected and they'd
quickly get around it.

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update coming Wednesday

[AnAkIn .]

Can anyone from Valve comment about host_timer_spin_ms?

This seem to make the FPS more consistent when enabled, it always stay at
66. When it's disabled, it's mostly between 60-70.
