CGAC on pubs and pracc's

by setupj • 21 May 2014, 00:25 • Journals
We need to have such thing, never heard any new from that..
Is that an impossible thing to happen? Just curious because it would bring much more activity on this game we are trying to revive for that long.

Discuss.

It is theoretically possible as long as the match ID you enter is valid - meaning that a match with that ID actually exists on CyberGamer (so currently it'd have to be a number from 1 to 514214). However, there wouldn't really be an easy way of forcing the other players to use CGAC or even confirm that they are using it, especially on a public server. You would need a CG matchlink of some sort with all players on the server listed in the lineups in order to check to make sure they are using the anticheat.

We could have a team name 'nbs' and eveyone who wants to play there should apply to the team at cybergamer and use the nick they have registered so admins could check it out, about the game id we could challenge some oppo so we could have a game id and we never finish the war, is there any time limit to play a game at cg as long as u accept it?

You'll just have most of the players using new CG accounts to hide their identities, even if they already have an account. And what about public players who have never heard of CG or don't browse CF/GTV? Should they be kicked or banned from the server then? How do you expect to prevent CG banned players from playing? Also, what if 2+ players are using the same nickname in-game? Like I said, it "works" but is difficult to properly enforce.

You can cancel challenges yourself before they are accepted, but once the date/time is set then only an admin can cancel the match. That would sort of work, I guess, but you are assuming that all players in the war are already registered on CG and already in a team with each other. It would be quite a hassle when mercing / playing with mercs. I doubt that many players would be willing to go through the trouble just to play an IRC war. There's also really no way of confirming the identity of your opponents with certainty.

Isn't it possible to make one to ten permanent match IDs which could be used by anyone (without the need to be in a certain team). Connect one or two (if one is too much to handle for the system, for whatever reason) for publics like NBS and have the others be available to be used in IRC wars. The only downside to this would be that there needs to be a server side client that will check if CGAC is acually being used. Although I don't think this should be that much of a hassle.

Eventhough I like the idea of having this available in public and IRC wars I don't really see this coming anytime soon.

The issue is not about having to use a certain match ID or having to be in a certain team. It is simply being unable to confirm that everyone on the server is using the anticheat.

Yeah, it probably seems like "not much of a hassle" to you, but how do you think CG feels about it? It's a bit weird to expect a league to spend their own time, money, and effort on making sure that the remaining ETPro public players - many of whom don't play competitively and have never even heard of CG - have an AC to use.

Your "idea" is no different from asking ESL if we could use Wire on public servers and in IRC wars. CGAC is designed to be used in official matches - CG official matches, specifically. There are already many ways to prevent cheating on public servers, while CGAC is currently the only reliable way to prevent cheating in competition.

Tired of playing versus cheaters on public servers?
- Play only on servers with some sort of anticheat protection and/or active admins.
- Don't play on public servers.

Tired of playing versus cheaters in IRC wars?
- Play only on your own server versus players you know.
- Play offis instead.

they could also generate match IDs with the CG pug system if they wanted but hey, I don't have much to do with CG any more :p

Haha, to be honest I dunno how the pug system works or if it even works at all since v5. :P

I see and understand the points you are making. Also I didn't know that CGAC was specifically made for official matches. Also there is no need to belittle me, because I'm just spitballing a bit. I'm certainly not as retarded as you might think.

Also I don't care if I play versus cheaters or not and certainly not in public. I'm low and since lately my skill has only been dropping, I will enjoy this game wether I play versus a cheater or not.

Back to my "ideas", they were indeed based on the assumption that CGAC has public version for other games. If that was so, then it would indeed "not have been much of a hassle" to change it to ET.

I don't think you're retarded. My comment was aimed at others as well, not just you.

I get that as well. Next time when someone is even making an effort of thinking to create a solution, don't belittle anyone. It will only make you come across as the dick quite a lot of people say you are. Instead, try to appreciate it.

I don't really care what people think of me, so save the lecture for someone else and work on not getting offended so easily by words on the internet instead. There was nothing even remotely belittling or insulting in my comment.
