What is the format of a cheat entry in the cheaters-log ? Is the GUID in there ? We'd need that for our cheater DB i.e.

I'm with FraGiLe, is there going to be a tool for admins to read what's in their cheat logs, or if we can't decipher a global log such as is posted here, should we just stick to the one generated on our own servers?

I'm getting quite a few cheater entries from our public server, is there going to be any indepth information about the cheatlog-format or a logparser or sth like that ? Would be very nice to get some more info for us public ET Pro admins out here :D...

Thx Bani as always...

Running ET in compatibility mode on windows (w2k, xp, etc) can cause strange looking /cheaters status output. Harmless, you can advise those players to discontinue playing in compatibility mode so they appear "clean" in the /cheaters listing
what does that mean ? What compatibility mode ? How to stop playing in compatibility mode ?

The thing is that their maybe some programs that give false positives. Look through the list and see if you match any listed.

I had one of those progs mentioned in VERY short list.

I had atitool...not anymore...but what is COMPATIBILITY MODE ? Is compatibility mode = using atitool ? If that's so I thank you greatly..

Strange thing is that I was kicked when I got text [CLEAN WIN32...] or something like that...I was told that I was cheating...

so basically I'm asking : is it so that player has to test WHAT programs can or can not be on when going to play on ET-PRO 3.0.1 server...

This is compatibility mode:

Using Windows XP Compatibility Mode

It's the same for Windows 2000.

This doesn't actually cause a false positive as a cheat, but it does report [??? win32] instead of [clean win32]. If you want to be reported as clean, you are encouraged not to run et in compatibility mode.

theres no real reason to run in compat mode anyway, which makes me wonder why people do.

Some people reported that running in compat mode made the nvidia/pb crashbug go away. *shrug*

Viruses can cause false positives. The relatively new DR/XIPOD.1 virus is known to do this.

%@#$*#$% (deleted initial flame text)

Just want to inform you that I'm on Linux and 3.0.1 claims that I'm cheating... I'm using just a standard X with the proprietary NVidia drivers and don't think that any of my running processes do anything that a cheat would likely do. So this is seriously... bad.
