SSL Anti-Cheat

You all have guessed right, the next SSL event will premiere an anticheat client. pisto dusted off some code that was originally intended for sdos, and microwaved it for ssl.
This means that to participate in the September event you will be *required* to:

1) install a SSL-specific authkey
2) install a modded-mod, that is an anticheat version of your favourite mod.

We are telling you now not because we are kind and we want you to refine your cheats, but because there will be no mercy for clueless people who can’t install an authkey or a client mod.

Also fact number 2) is a lie, and that is the point of this post. The anticheat code has been developed on top of pisto’s sdos-test mod (https://github.com/pisto/sdos-test). This means that sdos-test (basically vanilla Sauerbraten plus SDL2, read smooth mouse on Windows 8.1) and comed (read, uh, stuff) have their anticheat version ready for release. But pisto is one and joyfully living real life and can port the code to at most one another popular client mod by September (maybe and uncertainly). This is now your chance to vote to see your favourite client mod anticheatified for use in SSL. Vote now or forever hold your bitching.

Q: Can I play if I am known dirtbag and I use the anticheat?
A: No, but I will happily browse your porn folder.

 

Q: Will the anticheat prove that I’m clean in games after the SSL event of September?
A: No, it will be a piece of junk.

A: If you ask such question, you will be given elementary instructions. Otherwise, the anticheatified version of your favourite mod will be packaged identically to the normal version.

 

Q: How do I install an authkey?

Q: Are skin mods admitted?
A: A list of allowed modification to data files will be published at some point. You can expect skin and hudgun mods to be legal.

    So it’s not necessary to install the client as there hasn’t been made a decision yet which one and as it doesn’t prove you’re clean; it doesn’t make sense to download in the first place?

    Sounds quite confusing….

      You will be required to install an anticheat client to play the event of September. The anticheat is proposed currently in sdos-test or comed form. If you refuse to install either versions, you are out. You have an occasion now to shout out and ask for another anticheat version. Any version will be useless after this event of September.

        Anti-cheat supposed to mean that if you’re playing with it – you’re clean. This is absolute shit which doesn’t guarantee anything. So what is it made for? Why do you even make it? There is no difference then if you play with it or without…

        he also didn’t understand a thing so a reason more not to let him slow down the quali, which are already going to be a clusterfuck.

      I agree. Even i install it on my clean installation of system (dualboot) to prevent some shit you can do.

      I want it on OSH ofc.

      Voted already on poll.

        Sadly, i can not see the healthbar there which is a great advantage for yall ;) OSH doesnt support this :(

    Basically, it will ‘guarantee’ you are clean (as much as that is possible), but only for this SSL event.

    Considering the poll result, I ported today the anticheat code to wc-ng (minus extensive testing). Most probably it will be distributed as a single executable rather than an installer, contrary to the FAQ in the post.
