Could I direct you over to http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=18091 6&rid=127#msg_180916 on page three and my reply..

Quote:

IF your name is on the ignore file for a server, the SERVER will say you are using renguard REGARDLESS of whether you are or not.

Hence, you could be NOT using renguard, USING cheats, with your name on the ignore list for the server, and STILL have the server report that you are using renguard...BECAUSE you are on the ignore list.


From the discussion that went on in that topic, and then the long demonstration caveman made, this seems to be the case. If so I thought I should point this out - it means that anyone can circumvent the system and fool everyone into thinking they're running renguard, when they aren't -- the server owner has just put them on the ignore list. And how many people would really be bothered going to the IRC server and using !rglocate after the server telling them the player is using RG?

The ignore list is there for players whom are on the same network as the server while both are behind NAT -- if such an occurance happens, the player would not be considered as running RenGuard even though they are, because they would connect to the gameserver using a different IP than RenGuard sees them on. If the gameserver administrators abuse this file, that is their perrogative, really.

Ive already had this discussion with some of the RenGuard Team. I was told that they will remove that feature with the new RG.

Which sucks for people that are using the file for good but then it stops serveradmin's abusing it.

If you think someone is cheating while using RG just quickly goto www.renguard.com goto the locator it does the samething as !rglocate in IRC

Not everything is as it appears
Untouchable
If you own the server you can do what ever you damn well please on it. If you want to "fool" RG then so be it. You wont have anyone to play with on your server but you have every right.

I know some servers use the ignore list for legitimate players suffering from 'Buffer Overrun' and other RenGuard troubles.

Removing it would be a mistake.

Since when do they get a right to make it that everyone has to use RG except themselves and even go beyond that and cheat if they so pleased; especially one that isn't so obvious. It's one thing if you say that you're going to cheat and you say it; it's another to endorse RG and then stab everyone in the back by not using it. Just because you own a server doesn't give you the right to be a jackass about things. (yes, i know technically you can be a jackass; but it doesn't make it any more right, does it?)


Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Being right and having a right are two different things. Don't forget that.

Well, one thing is sure: it's bad for RG's reputation... Imagine someone is clearly cheating (a server owner) and you do !rg xxx and it says he has RG...

Thats can happen anyway, RG isn't 100%.

Really, RenGuard's reputation is already in the black, in my opinion. 1.04 will change that, however.

I'll start by directing you to this: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=18007&a mp;a mp;start=0&rid=4039 (I haven't tried it, but it is the latest in a series of holes that RenGuard has had to be patched for.)

Then I will point out that NO anti-cheat system is 100% effective, it's just pure fact, RG is no exception.

That's a forum for server owners only. Not very smart to give a link to that Razz.

Nothing wrong with linking to the server owners forum.

How else am I supposed to show him the page? Describe it? Quote it?

Let me say this again, this was not intended to discuss whether or not there should be an ignore list...it was just to point out that when joe bloggs is on the ignore list, the SERVER will report that joe bloggs is using renguard, even if he isn't.

So don't remove the ignore list; instead, reprogram the SSC code to tell the player whether or not they're using it, followed by something like "but does not require it"...well that's what I would do.
