Ping Faker 1.5

4 Attachment(s)

Ping Faker

Description

This plugin can fake the display of a player's latency (ping) shown on the scoreboard. Unlike the "fakelag" command, it does not affect the player's real latency in any way.

You can have all players report the same ping, or only fake it for those having a specific IP/SteamID. This last feature is especially useful when running a dedicated server from your own computer, when you don't want people to guess you're an admin/owner by looking at your low ping.

Installation

Extract .amxx file to your plugins folder, and add its name to plugins.ini
Extract .ini file to your amxmodx/configs folder

CVARS

pingfake_enable <0/1> - Enable/disable ping faking
pingfake_ping <1337> - The ping you want displayed (min: 0 // max: 4095)
pingfake_flux <0> - Fake ping fluctuation amount (0 = none)
pingfake_target <0/1> - Whether to display fake ping to its target too
pingfake_bots <0/1/2> - Affect bots too (set to 2 for bots ONLY setting)
pingfake_multiplier <0.0> - Set this to have the fake ping be a multiple of the player's real ping instead of fixed values (0.0 = disabled)
pingfake_fileonly <0/1> - Enable this to fake pings ONLY for players listed on the .INI file

Commands

amx_fakeping <target> <ping> - Toggle fake ping override for player (use -1 to disable)

You can also have players automatically get fake pings according to IP/SteamID by editing the "fakepings.ini" file in your configs folder.

Changelog

Re: Ping Faker

is ther a way to make it have a random range.meaning noones ping stays the same for the whole time theyr playin in the server. so can it bounce around from a range like 20-30. this would b useful if you don want people to no your runin bots lol

Re: Ping Faker

A couple of questions

1. Anyway to get the pings to randomly fluctuate between 2 sets of numbers?
2. Is there anyway to have this applied only to bots?
3. How does this affect a High Ping Kicker?

Re: Ping Faker

I've been looking for something like this for a long time since I run bots on my server. I through this together real fast to see if it would work. It will make only bots appear to have a realistic ping. I'm sure it can be optimized but it's a start.

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>

new  g_offset[2], g_ping[3]
new g_maxplayers, g_connected[33]

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Bot Ping Faker", "1.1", "MeRcyLeZZ\bugsy")

    g_maxplayers = get_maxplayers()
    
    register_forward(FM_UpdateClientData, "fw_UpdateClientData")
}

public client_putinserver(id)
{
    g_connected[id] = true
}

public client_disconnect(id)
{
    g_connected[id] = false
}

public fw_UpdateClientData(id)
{
    // Scoreboard key being pressed?
    if (!(pev(id, pev_button) & IN_SCORE) && !(pev(id, pev_oldbuttons) & IN_SCORE))
        return;
    
    static player, sending, ping
    sending = 0
    
    for (player = 1; player <= g_maxplayers; player++)
    {
        if (!g_connected[player] || !is_user_bot(player))
             continue;
 
        //make each players ping vary a bit

1. Yeah, just updated plugin with that feature (CVAR: pingfake_flux)
2. Added that also (set pingfake_bots to 2)
3. It doesn't. The real ping is not affected in any way, so all other AMXX plugins will work fine regardless...

Give them some special flags ("m", "n", etc.) on users.ini, then set fakeping_flags to the ones you gave them.

thats the problem. a user want a 1er ping & another 200 & another 1337 & ... when i give them m or n or etc. flags, i have only 1 cvar to set the ping.how can i add a extra users. file for this & type 4 exam :

PHP Code:


		
			
 Steam id              Ping
_______________________
"STEAM_ID_XXXXX"      "12"
"STEAM_ID_XXXXX"      "1337"
"STEAM_ID_XXXXX"      "1"
"STEAM_ID_XXXXX"      "1123"

anything like this :mrgreen:like an extra hat for players. then when they are on server, they have special hats/ping

Re: Ping Faker

Why so high of a number for max ping? I think it should be capped off at like 200 tops or even less. No? :\

ping = clamp(g_ping + random_num(-g_flux, g_flux), 0, 4095)

That's VALVe you should ask. Maybe they have plans to release another CS update that will raise pings over 4000 and add lots of more useless avatars and ads where nobody wants them. Who knows...

The higher you set it, the more fluctuation you get, e.g.:
With a target ping of 100 and flux of 10 you'll get random values between 90 and 110.

I just uploaded version 1.3 which includes a fakepings.ini file for this, hope you find it useful.

Re: Ping Faker

About this plugin and bots - do You want to say Your plugin is able to show on the scoreboard of the client the fixed numeric value of the ping for a bot? Since CS1.6 the ping of bots on the scoreboard was always shown as an empty field eventually it says a string "BOT". Does this plugin really can put there any numeric value or I misunderstood the idea?

Re: Ping Faker

how i can make what admins have 1337 and bots have random ?

edit: hey mercy. is it possible to clean up this code more?^^ i just wanna to have admins 1337 ping, really no more

Re: Ping Faker

hi, nice plugin. One question though. Is it possible to just subtract a certain amount off of players ping? Not to set a fixed one but the amount that depends on the actual ping of a player.

One	02-27-2009 12:37

Re: Ping Faker

Ty,

but its not working :

fakeping.ini :

PHP Code:


		
			
"STEAM_0:0:19795224" "1337"
"STEAM_0:0:17432139" "1"
"STEAM_0:0:19154950" "7"

plugins.ini

PHP Code:


		
			
deagsmapmanager.amxx
timelimitvote.amxx
pingfaker.amxx

amxx.cfg

PHP Code:


		
			
pingfake_enable 1                    ; Enable/disable ping faking

so... when i enable the plugin, all users have any fake pings....not random but all have 1337 or 1 ... only on me is the ping 7

** Dont ask 4 my plugins.ini... i have all plugins in maps folder by maps names :D

ScHrAnZ DiNgEnS

02-28-2009 02:43

Re: Ping Faker

That is because the cvar with the adminflag. if u choose no flag for this the plugin it sets all pings to 1337.

I think that the code with the flag can be completely removed, because there is an ini file since the last relase.

And the fact they obey radio commands :)

People can also tell by looking at the players time; all bots will usually have the identical amount of time on the server. This can definitely fool players who will not check multiple items just to confirm there are bots.

Re: Ping Faker

It's a very nice plugin, but one problem is that whenever someone joins a side, the pings go back to normal really quick then back to the fake ping really quick. is there anyway you can fix that? :)

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Not sure about what's wrong though. The messages are received by the client normally, but it looks like they're just ignored...

Re: Ping Faker

Wow! very-very nice..
but when death message appears pings goes back to normal for about a second... it was really annoying on meat server.. when every second some is killed...
Here is a decision of this problem:

PHP Code:


		
			
//....



public plugin_init()

{

    //....

    register_event("DeathMsg", "Event_death", "a")

}

    //....



public Event_death()

{

    for(new player=1;player<=g_maxplayers;player++)

    {

        if(!g_connected[player] || g_bot[player])

            continue;

            

        fw_UpdateClientData(player)

    }

}

And I have 1 more problem ping is changing to fast on my server :( sometimes even 3 times per second
