SMAC version [It should be the r222 dev one]:

          - SMAC version

These few days I have seen players were banned due to spinhack. According to one of my friends who was playing on the server, one of the player did not act like these crazy CS spinhackers, and he was playin as pyro. Their K:D ratio is very normal.

I have also checked their Steam ID on google, their ID never been banned before. Also they have other VAC-Enabled games on their Steam account.

1st, I do not think anyone with hack would like to play as pyro.
2nd, If they were spinning crazy, I am sure ppl will yell WTF, or something like that on the server. I only see ppl asking "whats spin hack" after one of them was banned.
3rd, Since TF2 is free, I do not think anyone would like to risk their main Steam account for hacking.

How does Spinhack detection work on SMAC???

Re: SpinHack false detection?

The next release will disable auto-banning on the spinhack module and only allow logging/warning admins. It needs some work.

Hi God-Tony.

Didn't mean to hijack Jacks thread really, but I just registered to thank Kigen for his past work, and now you for the awesome work you are doing with the ongoing development of SMAC.

We use SMAC on 6 community TF2 servers and have done so for about 3 months now. It's been on a 3 months trial with most settings at warn only, but it hasn't stepped a foot wrong in that time, so we've finally switched the auto banning on.

As always seems to be the case with these things, unless its going wrong you rarely hear from users, but I am sure there are many happy but silent users out there like us who are very grateful for all the hard work you put in to this.

I know you don't have much feedback from TF2 server users, but so far so good, and I'll start posting feedback on future releases if it helps.

BTW. The (space)name exploit is a problem and it bypasses SMAC - had fun trying to kick a a group of about 5 players the other day who were using it to clone our regular players.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Edited to add: In case any TF2 server owners are reading this - we use SMAC with everything enabled except the wallhack module (too CPU intensive which effects server performance), but we have a good sv_pure setup instead.

Cheers
MrBen

Re: SpinHack false detection?

Thank you for your reply! I am looking forward for a better spinhack detection.

And Yes, SMAC is a good Anti-Cheat for TF2, I have seen different cheaters getting ban by SMAC, which is great. I heard from my friends other TF2 server has speedhackers, thx to SMAC speedhacking never happened on my server. I have everything enabled and auto-ban except Spinhack(just changed) and anti-wallhack.

Re: SpinHack false detection?

Good to hear it's working in the TF2 world!

This should be blocked in the latest release.
