  • He came to galts under the name Kororian. I got an IP addy + demo if anyone cares. I hope Mr Galt can ban this moron soon.

  • Was he on a current svn server or just a 2.3 one? A speedhack has been already patched in svn, and will be fixed in 2.4 which should come out next month. Try using a newer engine on that server and check if he can still speedhack.

    A demo is not useful, by the way - the only useful thing would be a network packet dump (like tcpdump does).
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • I just committed a new engine feature. Please try updating your engine to DarkPlaces svn. When you see the speedhacker again, set "sv_autodemo_perclient 2" and wait for a map change. Then, set "sv_autodemo_perclient 0" again. It will save demos in .nexuiz/data/sv_autodemos/ - and send me the one with the IP of the speedhacker in the name (you can see the IP using "status").

    That feature makes the engine record all information required to see how a hack works.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

  • Hm... why? It is about impossible to parse these demos...

  • ty divverent i'll try to get your demos if i see him again. Galt uses the normal, stable 2.3 version on his servers i think.

  • Yes, as far as I know, Galt's Gulch is running vanilla 2.3, so the cl_movement speedhack should still work.
