Guest Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 This guy "xX$Tom$Xx" was cheating in this perfectly good high quality MTA:VC server..and THEN on TOP of that he was getting pissed that WE were calling him lame for cheating...so then he goes and FLOODS the server with some weird giant string of code and crashes EVERYONE...admins beware of this 'tom' and we need some fix for this lame exploit... P.S. Any way to find ips of individuals on MTA?
Dgtadude Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I thouhg they protected the new server from these attacks . Or make sure you are playhing on the newest version . And i dont belive there is a way for you to protect your self from these people . just ask the admin to ban him
-UtopiA- Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 How are you so sure that he was, in fact, cheating?
Dgtadude Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 flodding servers deserver to be banned too . Not just cheaters ....
Zircon Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I was there too. He wasn't using any health cheats, but rather, teleporting around. I killed him twice, and he even admitted to cheating. That's when he flooded the server, check my thread for more information...
dystopia Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 just like on old aol chat lags, they use alt-code characters or something that aren't normally loaded and t causes it to lag to the point of crash or disconnect, these pople really are sad
Chewd Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 TOM ALWAYS cheats.. if your running a server.. I'd ban him immediately.. he sux
b0b0 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Unfortunately server 0.3.1 doesn't say 0.3.1 in the version box in ASE. Would be good to know which servers are vulnerable and which are not.
Guest Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 someone explain this to me. WTF is it that gives people such a thrill out of cheating. there is no skill in it, and it doesnt even take an idiot to do. WHY would someone cheat. do people have ego problems that bad, this is something that i still dont get
orappa Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 someone explain this to me. WTF is it that gives people such a thrill out of cheating. there is no skill in it, and it doesnt even take an idiot to do. WHY would someone cheat. do people have ego problems that bad, this is something that i still dont get It's because it really pisses everyone else off. They can't play, so they ruin everyone else's fun.
TwwIX Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Well thx for telling us his name. If you see a cheater tell it to the admin.If the admin isn't there...well leave the server then.Unless the team comes up with some kind of new cheat prevention,there allways be cheaters around.They should focus on shutting down the servers that are actually advertising the cheats and encouraging people to use them.They even list the links to the cheat sites in their "motd's" and server names.Posting their names in the forum is just plain pointless and it'll only encourage them to cheat more.
orappa Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Unless the team comes up with some kind of new cheat prevention,there allways be cheaters around What about PunkBuster support? Or does that cost a lot? They should focus onshutting down the servers that are actually advertising the cheats and encouraging people to use them MTA unfortunately doesn't have the authority to do that. You should leave those servers for the cheaters and play on fair ones.
MAD_BOY Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Unless the team comes up with some kind of new cheat prevention,there allways be cheaters around What about PunkBuster support? Or does that cost a lot? read older topics and find out
Guest Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 the reason people cheat is very simple.(LOSSING FEALS WAY WORSE THAN WINNING FEALS GOOD)
MAD_BOY Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 no it doesn't, if i win or lose, i don't care
Guest Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 well much thx to the admin, i got the bad boy's ip now..MUAHAHAHAH...erm. Gonna be a fun night
