ET Pro anticheat database update 2004-04-13 07Z

The anticheat database for ET Pro has been updated. You can download it here.

This file must be downloaded and saved as binary, not text. You may need to rightclick-save it from your browser, as netscape or IE may try to convert it to plain text which will corrupt the file.

Alternatively, a zipped version is here.

This is an optional update for admins who want to keep current with the latest cheats. Simply replace the existing etpro_cheats.dat in your etpro folder with this one, and do a map_restart.

I've got a couple of questions regarding this new feature...
Is it possible to have a description of the known cheats?
Is it possible for the serveradmin to add their own tables?
Maybe an online app so that users can upload their own tables? Guess this would greatly improve the up-to-date-ness of the cheatfile.

no. we don't want cheaters to know what we're looking for.

no. to do so would make it easy for serveradmins to setup a cheat server where they could cheat in matches and the opposing team would never know about it.

if you get a ^3CHEATER in your logs, you can send us the logs and we can determine if it's a cheat that needs to be added to the database or not.

No problem,
I was just wondering against what kind of cheats my server was protected and maybe to help anticheating, but I see ur points and mostly agree with them....

Thanks for the fast reply,

hmm...is it possible that you have included "cheats" that are not cheats but depend on for example display driver or graphics mode ?

this database includes only known public cheats.
