The most effective and simplest solutions come from real life, this may be
no exception.

The way its been explained to me that aim hacking works is that every client
knows the position of every other clients player, the client runs a server
on their own computer to host the map and updates the other clients
positions per frame...

Okay well we all know how exploitable that is for a good programmer with to
much time on their hands.

The answer light particles - seems simple dosnt it lol.

in real life we see by light bouncing of other items and hiting our eyes
retina...

well why dont they implement this in a game engine, let the light source
send out small particles of light which rebound of any object or surface it
hits, and when this comes in contact with the players avatar allow the
viewing of that object.

Think of it as millions of bouncing bullets. only rather than causing death
they cause the visibility of the objects and other players.

I dont know how difficult or how tasking on current engines this would be to
implement but im gonna be working on a small prototype soon?

The reason I dont think this would be so easy to hack is that the light
particles are moving in real time with the player, and the players
co-ordinates would be unknown to the other clients on the server that is
until line of sight was acquired.

So am i just being to bitchy about people who have absolutly no skill or if
they do they like wasting it by letting a computer do the work.............

If theres anyone out there that sympothises or wants to discuss this please
let me know.

Regards

[Anti-aimbotting]

Ignoring the obvious flaw - the raw processing power needed
(ever seen a raytracing package in action?), there's still the
fundamental issue that what you propose is running in software
on the client machine. If it's software then it can be circumnavigated.
If it's on a cheater's machine then the executable code is wide open
to interference.

There's no widely available and implementable protocol that will
stop aimbotting and wallhacking. Even if games developers wrote
their products in a security-aware fashion (i.e., the first assumption
of any secure system is that it is under attack from the moment it
is deployed - or even under developement, for strict projects), the
simple fact that executable instructions (the protocol) are running
under user space on a desktop PC (an insecure environment) means
that the protocol can quite easily be compromised.

It's a sad state of affairs, but it's as true for games as it is for online
commerce.

Effectively running your client on the server sending the images over
the net to your screen and only uploading your mouse and keyboard inputs
would lead to horrible mouse lag making anything other than lan play
impossible.

Plus the server would need ridiculous bandwidth.

Forget it.

Styvaen.

You asking or telling...

Absolutely true, not only would that method be difficult to implement
(actually process, let alone cope with underpowered clients, and network
connections), but it wouldn't be a particularly good solution. It could
be circumvented, plus it assumes these are the only methods for aimbots
to use. I remember an old, famous aimbot used a method of replacing
player models with bright red and green characters, and the 'aimbot'
script simply centered such colours (red or green depending on team) in
the middle of the screen. One counter for this was a spray that went
round, or a hacked player model, and made people using aimbots end up
headshotting these sprays and revealing themselves :)

Keep thinking though 😉

Any information communicated to the client side or computation that is
done on the client side is subject to being exploited. The only way to
avoid this is to run everything on the server and only send image
snapshots to the client -- totally unfeasible for the framerates
involved in FPS games -- or to completely lock other players out of
their own machines. Something like the latter may be possible with DRM,
but certainly the users wouldn't like it.

The real solution to cheaters is attentive admins.

As pointed out this is still hackahle, the hack systems exploit the screen
data as much as anything else. cheers

What your sugesting is also called Raytraceing. The only programs which can
do that, is 3d modelling programs like 3dsmax. so you go figure.
Rendering charrecters in Raytraceing would probberly slow your computer to a
halt.

/Ezy

btw. Raytracing is cool. I look forward to the day when 3D games Raytrace
realtime. That would be cool.
