I remember seeing a suggestion with less automatism a long time ago, made by zecrux. The main point that would still apply in this case is that less clients use . as command-prefixes than you would think. Also, pretty much every client seems to have an option to allow those commands.

I'll search the forum for the thread with a lot of answers from kuke.

Kuke says that most clients can toggle this feature, making this plugin useless. :p (Pi's threads)

I don't think this will do anything, because if AHax, BHax and CHax use the "'." command, then everyone will switch to DHax which doesn't use it or uses something different.

 

What about afk people

 

What? o_O

 

Oh nvm my brain stopped working

 

lol - I thought so :p

 

Several hacked clients don't require that commands be like this - this wouldn't be conclusive that someone isn't hacking.

What if somebody logs in afk (sounds strange, but ask several staff members, I have a habit of hitting the log in button, tabbing out before it loads, and forgetting altogether).

You can't force the client to run the command automatically without the use of a parallel client side mod.

 

Usually when I play, I like to log in and out every half hour or so because I like to go back and forth between things. I know that one day I'd forget to do this (even with a message appearing on screen. I also do what nicit does often.

 

What about when people are AFK. Don't want to just ban them for no reason do we?

 

Server-issued /sudo-command? But as already said, too easy to hide an illegal client from this test.

 

But do we have even any anti cheat plugin? I was on another server and they found a guy using hacks with a plugin

 

NoCheat+, I think.

If it's a plugin that works from such commands, it <could> work. However, then people would just switch to clients that have a different command prefix.
If it works by behaviour and automatically spots suspicious movement, then I'd say the error range can be quite high depending on connection and quality of the algorithm.

 

It will always be difficult to stop those that "tie a pepsi can to the mouse" or "fall asleep and the nose perfectly lands on the keyboard to keep playing" or "the art of a rubber band and a rock" :p

 

Nope, no, totally wrong. According to our all knowing god about hacking, Zecrux, only 70% of people who hack use this method. Reading comprehension.

On a serious note, Revan had the best of answers as to why this will never happen. It's innocent until proven guilty, while this is guilty until proven innocent. I really dislike that idea. So, -1.

 

Maybe if make it a daily command you do to join sg?

 

Sudo doesn't make a client run a command, it runs the command from the other player's perspective but still on the server.
There is no way to do this - and no reason there should be.

 

Oh, okay. (Just thought so because it still respects user permissions.)
