Anti-Cheat System 1.05c

[Moderator]

Dr Super Good:
Pretty pointless system. I honestly see no use for it as if you disable cheats, you simply force people to take your map appart and renable them via 4-5 minutes of trigger editing (protection efforts can not stop that at all). Thus I advise strongly against wasting your time and using this system as it will annoy users of your map more than imporve your map.

However it is still a valid system and although not very efficent (like everything GUI), some people may want to use it (although any good map maker would not).

Uhh? You want me to take a screenshot of a defeat message??

This is perhaps the most useful "spell" in whole section. I use it, and I suggest everyone to use it to prevent cheating in single-player games.

 

[RaidonGod]

good job...
I haven't tested it yet
but I'll test later

 

[Hanky]

Well good job, it's useful for campaigns. Maybe it would be better to make in JASS but well maybe it's in GUI better for newbies. Currently I can rate it 4/5.

That has also been fixed in the new version. Thanks for pointing it out, +rep.

Pretty pointless system.

According to the comments seen here and the fact that it was requested by people, it is not a thoroughly pointless system

I honestly see no use for it

Quite odd that other people do...

if you disable cheats, you simply force people to take your map appart and renable them via 4-5 minutes of trigger editing (protection efforts can not stop that at all)

Hahahaha! Now THAT is ridiculous!
If people are willing to hack the map only to be able to spoil their own gaming experience then they deserve it!

But if you leave the cheats enabled, you encourage players to resort to them when they face a difficult situation, thus leading to the game experience being spoiled.

Thus I advise strongly against wasting your time and using this system as it will annoy users of your map more than imporve your map.

This system is created so people wouldn't need to waste their time trying to find a way to prevent people from cheating in the game.

But of course, as you mentioned before, this system (like all other systems) is not idiot-proof.
But is it a significant loss if a couple of idiots ruin their gaming experience?

At least this system encourages people to not cheat during the game.

I said "Theresnospoon" And got kicked with the message "StenghtAndHonour" Detected.

Fixed now, +rep.

• Fixed some text messages

Just like Dr Super Good said; it's pointless and anoying for some users. There's a reason why there are cheats. However, the system works good and you've filled each cheat with a good protection.

 

[Adiktuz]

I think its good and you cannot say that he made a useless map since it has been requested by some as he says... But of course those who knew about editing will just take it off and play again with cheats but for those who just play this is good so that they will not be able to spoil a good single player map.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

If they want to spoil it for themselves, who cares? It's they're choice not ours to make.

 

[HappyTauren]

Yes, the conception of this is stupid as hell.

 

[Misha]

tried and got owned every time i type a cheat xD awesome xD

 

[Vercas]

You should make for warpten to set the game's speed to minimum every 0.5 seconds so the cheater will not want to play any more

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Why that..?

Ohh, and the reason to make a such system, is not that "let them spoil it for themselves if they want" .. Its more like..
"Omg, i dont want him to cheat, and get this awesome sword.. (then save and load in another game, if possible)"

 

[HappyTauren]

No one cares if you cheat in singleplayer, and you shouldn't be able to save in singleplayer in save/load rpgs.

 

[Vercas]

In my map if a player saves the game i just use the normal trigger function to delete a saved game

 

[ChaosWyrm]

This is the most useful thing I have ever found on Hive...

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Well, I found much way more usefull than this. Just look a bit futher and you'll know what I mean.

 

[Vercas]

I tried all cheats and that table is wrong.
Strengthandhonor does nothing to me within 30 minutes.
warpten gives me fatal error
itvexesme does absolutely nothing withing 30 minutes.
whosyourdaddy defeats me and when i click the button i am still in game

 

[Kitabatake]

I tried all cheats and that table is wrong.
Strengthandhonor does nothing to me within 30 minutes.
itvexesme does absolutely nothing withing 30 minutes.

Like the table says, Strengthandhonor & itvexesme are not punished directly.
I guess it would have been more accurate to say that those cheats have been prevented from disabling the whole anti-cheat system.

In earlier versions, you could have used the strengthandhonor cheat to disable the "Defeat" action, thus disabling the whole anti-cheat system.
(Because then the system was unable to punish the player)

But in the current version the system first defeats the player, and if the player is using strengthandhonor, he is given an instant win without dialogs/scores, and if the player is also using itvexesme (no win cheat), the system resorts in warning the player and producing a fatal error in a couple of seconds.

warpten gives me fatal error

Yes, like is written in the trigger description, it sometimes (quite often actually) does that and I haven't found the reason for it yet.

If you can find a solution, let me know!

whosyourdaddy defeats me and when i click the button i am still in game

Hmm? That has never happened to me before.
Going to test that soon...

 

[Vercas]

I can design instantly fatal errors if you want so

 

[Kitabatake]

I can design instantly fatal errors if you want so

I can make fatal errors myself.

But you could take a look if you can find what is causing the fatal error upon typing warpten.

The system is supposed to first defeat the player, but for some reason the anti-warpten trigger often instantly generates a fatal error although it shouldn't.

 

[Vercas]

ok, now i take a look

 

[MeEsA]

the best solution and easyest wound be this

for example:

player tpyes whosyourdaddy

defeat player with the text "only fucking noobs like YOU use cheats, thats your punishment"

^^but yours is more creative i give you still a 5/5

 

[Vercas]

Yes i was wondering too why do he doesn't uses chat events?

 

[HappyTauren]

Because cheats can't be detected with chat events, douches.

 

[Kitabatake]

Because cheats can't be detected witch chat events, douches.

Correct!

 

[Vercas]

However in my map i detect cheats with chat event and it works

 

[TheBlooddancer]

If you look closer, when typing a cheat, it says "Cheat enabled". Not the cheat you wrote.
Therefor it shouldn't work.

By the by, can you register the event "Cheat Enabled!" And action would be to kick?

 

[Vercas]

You fool!
Just try with chat event and see that it DO works!

Edit : and if you look closer in Gameplay Interface you will se that you can change that message "Cheat Enabled!" to anything, but it doesn't matters that, the chat event still recognizes the CHEAT not this message!

No, chat events do not detect cheats.

 

[Vercas]

At least, for me, they DO detect cheats... sorry...
This weekend i will attach here a map...

Hmmh? I don't believe it until I see it.

 

[TKF]

I like this system. I kinda disagrees with DSG that this is unuseful.

Still good for players who wants to make their campaigns harder to cheat through. I'll maybe use that myself.

 

[IncubiProtocoL]

• Game - Set Cheats to Off

Dunno if this is just a ngjp function or if you've wasted alot of time lol. Its in set map flag. If so you could use

• Custom script: call SetMapFlag( MAP_CHEATS, false )

Edit: Nevermind I just tested it and it doesn't work... Strange.

 

[Tha_n00b]

Why would you even prevemt people from cheating?
This is like a "big-brother" system, and causes some people to hate your map.
Personally, I do not download or play ANY map from the Hive who are either "Protected" or contain systems like this. It is frustrating that the user can not do what exactly he wants to do. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO WRITE ISEEDEADPEOPLE!

These "anti-cheats" should only really be designed for multi-player, but since that cheats are disabled on B.Net anyways, it renders this system useless.

 

[smoopa]

I think its pretty useful for ORPG map where people will just go onto singleplayer and buy all the stuff then load the character in Mp.

 

[Candy]

My luck this is in GUI. ;]

 

[Candy]

I run this map in game, and entered "whosyourdaddy". It's didn't kick me out...

I don't have shuch an option in Map Flag Setting. I've got WE in different language, can u send a screen?
Such Custom Script didn't work too.

 

[VeljkoM]

Can I change punishments?I would rather punish cheater rather than kick him.

 

[Kitabatake]

Hmh it works fine for me...
Try downloading the map again.

Yes, there is no easy way to block the singleplayer cheats.

Can I change punishments?I would rather punish cheater rather than kick him.

Sure, go ahead.

 

[Candy]

Maybe thats why I have an older wersion of WE. Btw, where can I upload it?

Awesome I love you!!!
