The future in server side cheat detection technology.
DragonGuard will be a new publically released server side mod built to detect, stop, and ban cheaters. It will be designed in such a way that it can work together with any custom scripts.dll, be it a plain one or another server side mod(SSAOW, DA, etc.), without any modifications to the scripts.dll. The first release will coincide with the release of SSAOW 1.6. It will be compatible with any total conversion mod.
At the moment the following cheat detection methods are finished and working:
- Detection of any changes to the damage, warhead, or range of a weapon.
This will detect numerous cheats, some of which are:
- Damage: Any cheat that increases the damage of a weapon
- Repair: Any cheat that increases the amount of damage repaired
- Range: Cheats that extend the range of a weapon
- Partial bones.ini: Any bones.ini cheat that uses a damage multiplier above 5
- Beacon/C4 Repairing: A cheat that allows you to repair(not disarm) beacons and C4
- Blamo: Using the blamo warhead to kill PTs, C130, and other objects that are normally invincible
- Friendly Fire Exploit: An exploit that allows you to damage teammates
In addition to those, detection of the following will hopefully be finished before a public release:
- Complete bones.ini: Any changes to the damage multiplier of a bone
- Big Beacons/C4: Repairing beacons or C4 through walls using big beacon/C4
- Ammo: Any cheat that increases the ammo of a gun or makes bullets use no ammo
- ROF: Cheats that increase the rate of fire of a weapon
- Hud.ini: Detects any client side changes to hud.ini. For total conversion mods with bhs.dll and hud.ini on the client only

Yeah, except that players will still be able to use Big heads,guns,bodies, radar hacks, and any skin they want... just to name a few. Yes, this is a great addition but don't make the mistake of thinking no one will ever be able to cheat again if this is released.
I'm the bawss.

All of these are much easier to find and test for, radar hack aside, with a simple screenshot or test compared to damage/repair hacks used with right click etc.
If the new RG is anywhere near to completion, the two processes combined will be very good for the game.

Depends, to avoid issues with the whole stealth units thing, I use the stock stealth skin, if you are actually using objects.ddb to make stealth units not stealth... that's outright cheating, the former's a grey area.
Incidentally;
YAY!
Renguard is a wonderful initiative
