Sl- anticheat a new mod for wolf et - no lag

[NoGooD]

the server client wont need or require ppl to create account, thats what it says in the interview in crossfire. so just a download like any map or anything when u connect at server .

 

I was referring to SLAC as a client side only AC. If it was server side and you just downloaded it, that would be great. I think it would be a better option than PB once the bugs are worked out of it.

 

 

 

Perhaps I was a bit harsh.. but the fact remains that too many people post concerning things of which they have little knowledge.Anyway, as far as the OP goes: there will never be a SLAC version for Jaymod, that's retarded.

 

And yet the whole point of this thread was using an AC such as SLAC on F|A2 jaymod server, so I replied on that topic directly from a server administration POV. Tdkxeon obviously didn't know SLAC is for 2.6b/ETpro only. I have to wonder at how many servers you run to have such a strong stance on such a topic that's off topic of this thread.

 

The only point I hurriedly tried to make is requiring people to sign up for a SLAC account on servers as popular as Jaymod, which probably sees as many people daily as 10% of SLAC's current member list wouldn't indeed seriously cripple those servers when players could just as easily go elsewhere and not have to sign up or download anything else. Players are often like water...they flow where there's the least resistance. Having to go to another forum, sign up, download a program to get it to run on your comp is not for your "average" player. If players could just download it such as Tormentium stated then by all means use it. The players wouldn't have to do anything except sit through a download.

 

As funny as it sound, you'd probably be surprised at just how many people have a difficult time just signing up on forums. But your right, too many people post things of which they have little knowledge of.

 

Pay chaplja to make a Jaymod compatible version and he'll do it. It was made as a competition anti-cheat, no point in making it into pub AC if PB works fine to a certain extent.

 

Pay chaplja enough to make a SLAC proof cheat and he'd probably do it too. In all seriousness though, your right. Plus reading SLAC's forums it seems as though he's busy enough with the current version of SLAC that it's likely to be some time before anything else happens with it since there is no set dates on any development.

I really couldn't care less what the whole point of the thread was, which is why I quoted you, because I was replying directly to your post. I cannot read your mind, so I simply responded to the text which you typed. Also, implying that your opinion is worth more than mine because you are a server admin is laughable and pretty ridiculous.

I'm going to cease any further comments on this thread since we've basically hijacked it. I think we would both like an alternative to PB on servers, as would many regardless of what mod it is.

I believe he is bound under contract by speedlink not to make any cheats that bypass SLAC. But i also heard that it Croatia or whichever country hes from its not against the law to do many things illegal here. Or so they say on crossfire...

SLAC has been discussed before and not warmly embraced to put it mildly.

 

Might be a good idea in the current situation. Might not. Not my call.

 

We need a test server to see if it would work.

 

Edit: I have just downloaded it and am trying it out. 125 fps is easy, but the servers that are listed on the SLAC forum have no players. Cleaned up my post.

Plus theyre only Etpro and since not many pplz here like that mod then nothing we can do.

ESL decided in the past days that SLAC will be the officially anti-cheat software for the 3/3 and 5/5 ladder. probably Clan Base will follow this. on the following link you will find more informations about it:

SLAC is already mandatory for CB ladders.

I know PB has its problems here and there but its worked very well over the past 7-8 years with ET considering ET is a free game. Yes i admit PB doesn't catch em all but nor will SLAC and you will be greatly misled to think otherwise, for everyone PB misses it catches many, many more.

SLAC afaik is put together by haxors so that doesn't boad well, it also scans differently and bans different to PB, PB will scan all files and folders at all times and it will ban you instantly for having cheat files in your ET folder, SLAC does not... instead SLAC tries to detects cheats actively used so if they are turned off it wont detect them and it doesn't ban instantly if it does find any cheats, instead it waits. So for CB and EFL etc it kinda makes sense but for Pub servers i'll stick with PB thanks.

 

Maybe if SLAC had come along sooner it would have more of a chance but its way too late in the game IMHO, it also has a lot to prove, like i say PB may miss the haxors now and again but it catches and has caught countless over the years

 

Just for the record on the FA servers i do play i average 100-150+ ping and still get a stable 125 FPS with or without PB on. SLAC IMO has a lot to prove before it can even be compaired to PB.

 

Better the devil you know i say...which is PB.

The issue with PB wasn't whether it was catching everybody, but that in matches it was causing spikes of lags for the players – they complained (initially at a high level) and it was removed for the leagues.

Well i've played ET all its life and have always found that the "lags" are usually the first excuse when peeps die or lose tbh, both on pub and league servers and PB usually gets blamed..... i'm sure if slac was a fraction of the size or did a fraction of the same kinda thing as PB then it too would "lag" , but give it time.

I do think SLAC is probably a better all round idea for leagues so it makes sense to use it but on pub servers it has an awful lot to prove in the general day to day usage. Slac deals with probably a few houndred or maybe thousand requests at any one time, PB deals with millions so when slac deals with as many requests and is as big as PB (which will probably be never) then compair the two. I'm not saying PB doesn't lag now and again as i'd be a liar if i said it didn't, but on the other hand its not as if its any where near perm lags either and anyone who says different is the liar in that case.

 

Not a great PB fan specially when sommat goes wrong but again over 7-8 years its worked just fine with ET, lags n all. Watch this space as if slac gets used on pub servers a fraction of what PB does then you will see the "lag" whine just as much.

The thing is, no point in comparing PB with SLAC on pub scene as it only works on etpro atm. As far as i can see, chaplja wont have time and wont have motivation to make any version compatible with any of the other mods. Their just wouldnt be any point.

The reason why Slac doesnt ban for hacks anywhere in the ET folder is because its point isnt to ban for an existing hack, its point is to ban a hack thats in use, which would mean the hack would need to be loaded directly through the Slac exe. Thats the reason Slac doesnt give any lag. It doesnt "scan" the game, it just scans "itself" for any hack that might be injected into it. Slac sometimes gives a permanent fps drop if you start it up directly into etpro, but if you start it into etmain its all fine.
