Hi, my name is Kevin "badkip" C.
Most of you won't know me but I'm the coder behind CGAC and with recent events of CyberGamer picking up ET, I decided to make a thread about myself and get familiar with the ET community.
If you want to know more about me or CGAC just read this article.
I used to play ET back in 2005 till 2008, after that I started playing COD4. So I'm familiar with the game and it's community, but I have been out of the game for ages so if you have any suggestions to improve this anti-cheat feel free to share them with me.
I'll try to read the forums here too, but I'm most likely active on the CyberGamer forums. I do however wanna keep this journal up-to-date for you guys.
A release date is unsure, but it will be soon.
Regards,
badkip

I mean, good job
inb4 Jinosta not getting 60 acc anymore zLOL
This game is so crap, you dont really need to have an Anticheat (ok, that sounds stupid, keep reading), you need thing to RECOGNISE players. For example TZ-AC was decent Anti-Cheat, but nothing special, the best part of it was, that players had NICK & number and then there was site with database where you could search these guys and ALSO, there were screenshots uploaded after every use, which was amazingly good in busting wallhackers (since busting aimbotters, is there any problem with that?).
Also there was an add-on on servers, that you couldnt join the server without that TZ-AC.exe (A-C. obviously).
tl;dr
Make CGAC.exe
you have to register via email, submit your Nickname, your account will have it's number.
It would be all connected via one database (ETPro guid, IP, name/number, PBguid - you would be able to check via some command who is who on the server-> only Guids and names/numbers enabled, IPs only for main admins).
It would upload screenshots somewhere.
It wouldnt let you join server without it.
There would be part of CG site for that, or either new site.
Know it won't happen, but that's basically only thing you need....
Now the rest of it.
nice one :D
for suggestions: some way of identifying people on a gameserver using the etconsole. in TZAC it was /ac_players - gave info on all connected players:
ingame id - account ID - Ingame name - AC account name - account age(in days) and some other stuff
Thanks, but no thanks. We have this amazing guy, SnowStorm, working on the best anti-cheat we could wish for already.
Thanks for your time though,
Regards
gj!
I think so skill of some players will go down :-)).
Im the famoustest
but i hope it won't scan our whole pcs and do screenshots of everything while in-game like uac. do it more similar to slac/tzac if possible! :-)

this
+ Leave out the screenshot thingy its annoying as hell usually bugged and makes ppl lag, plus ive never really seen anyone get busted by a ss except for retards like vila.
No scans every 5s that makes people lag
No screenshots of desktop/irc/ts/facebook/anything but ingame screens
Some way of identifying players on servers (what Artstar said)
Silent detection but banwaves every 1-2 weeks (no waiting for 3 months for bans to be enforced)
btw is anyone still playing cod4?
explain this magic
no one in my team ever had any issues with uac
If I bind screenshot and press it once while moving my mouse around quickly, Ill lag for a split second and I didnt experience anything to that extent, ever, on UAC (to be fair though I didnt ever get lag with PB either and plenty whined about that too)
My AMD4400+x2 and 7800GT ran ET at 1000fps or 5x instances of ET at 200fps constant.
I run ET in my i5 PC and i7 laptop with dedicated cards struggles. Let's not forget the software changes with OS etc... Or happens with later driver versions where support or a calling method has changed and causes no end of issues with new games but improves others.
No screenshots of desktop/irc/ts/facebook/anything but ingame screens
dont want that coder to see what im fapping to
Some features that would be awesome to have:
-cgac_players in console gives info about the players (reg name,reg# and maybe known alias"?
-screenshots , but delete them after a week or less.
I would also suggest you share from time to time about the state of the AC with the community so that what happened with tzac doesnt happen again (1 person in charge of everything and kept everything secret
And please do something so we can use the Anticheat in IRC wars as well.. :)
ie. me and my team decide we want to play a 6on6 practice game, which may or may not include player switchings and the possibility of 5 or 6 or even more maps being played, with the anticheat, for obvious reasons, but do not want it to be a ladder or official game, can we sign up for a "scrim" or will we ultimately be forced to play IRC games without an AC?
The rest of the settings would be limited to what the admins have made available. I don't have access to those features any more (since AU ET closed down) but I used to be able to add a list of servers, maps, configs etc. that people could select when creating a pug.
Point being, we want to use the AC, but don't care for any of the other features, nor want it to be an official game, merely a prac.
Edit: Nevermind, seems I misunderstood you. Thanks :P
edit: ok here is the pug system (using BF4 so please excuse that!)
So based on that you can't pick a server, it will just check the list that the admins have made available and pick one that doesn't have an existing booking or potential clash. Fairly sure matches take priority as well, so for example if you start a pug on a server that has been allocated for a match, you will get booted when the server restarts to configure itself for that match.
Lastly though, not sure how or if they will include AC stuff for pugs. I only just asked badkip about that! :p
Seems like a good idea.

When you create a CG account (no different to having to create a TZAC account) you enter your profile info into CGAC (which is installed locally). The only thing that links to the website is your user ID and match ID.
What would make it possible to use outside of CG matches would be if the match ID is not mandatory but the connection is still recognised and reported back to the CGAC server for verifying the CG account and cheat detection etc. now that is something I feel should be possible but maybe badkip won't agree, who knows!
edit: I can see a lot of the CoD4 guys want that as well (be able to use CGAC outside of CG matches).
Give it a chance instead of doing the same thing you did with UAC by instantly flaming the developer without even bothering to wait until you've tried the anticheat out first.
Public servers with AC would be nice though ( so somekind of server addon)
