Has anyone ever thought of making something the complete opposite of cheats and then saying that they were cheats so that when the n00bs installed them they had a disadvantage? I just thought of making small heads, low damage, ETC but I don't know how so . . . How do I import .w3d files into Gmax then resize them? I already have the .w3d importer installed but when I go to file import I can't select .w3d as the file type to import. Also how would I modify the damages that vehicles and weapons and stuff do? All I know about that is I would have to do it in level edit then export as a mod package then extract the object file out of the mod package right? If I can do this I will release it when I have it done but right now I don't really know how to do any of it.

Expanding on Sir Phoenixx's idea:
Still redirect the shortcuts to a program, but when you load the program, it displays this error message:
"Renegade cannot load because .dsd directory cannot load. Please send your online account screenname and this error message to [e-mail address I will elaborate on] to fix this problem"
[Now, i am led to believe that Renegade has no .dsd directory...the plan relies on this]
So someone sets up a fake email account that people who downloaded the "cheat" send their error to. Now, the person with this email account checks it, and when they see someone send them that error message, send a notice or something to all the big game servers to ban that account. This would keep potential cheaters off servers, while avoiding hordes of incoherent angry people who got their computers melted.

Instead of giving people small heads, low damage, etc., I'd rather just have them banned. Then they won't be inclined to download that actually work. Besides, with small heads, it'll take them absolute tops 5 minutes to find out they got a bad mod...Then they start cheating with ones that work...And I don't like cheaters...

But what if cheaters and hackers DO slip around renguard which I highly doubt but would it be possibly to make some sort of high light cheat?
What I mean is make a sort of "alert" mod and say it is a cheat, and that cheat stands out to rengaurd,
e.g. Renguard is a security camera in the corner of a 1.5 metre cubicle and saddam come's in with a blinding lantern on his head that the securety camera can't resist to look at and maybe...how do you say......call security.
In other words a mod that is called a cheat that renguard basically spots in about a second and the person who is using that mod is immediately kicked and even banned. Is that possible?

I'm sure you could make something work by pointing out people to RenGuard... - I think it's personally a better alternative than my own, because no one has to spend their time checking an e-mail account, and it still bans people.

Be sure to put keywords like "multiplayer cheats" and such throughout the site to increase the amount of times it will show up on search engines. To make it show up on Google, make maybe four sites with those keywords all through them and link them all together. This is because Google's search engine works by organizing sites in order by keywords and by how many links they have to other sites with the same keywords, or something similar to this. They had a whole article in The New Yorker about it, but I don't remember the exact thing...

I know this is a stupid question but what about those bots in the chat rooms of WOL? They always advertise cheats, aimbots and all sorts. How do you get those things? Becuase they would come in handy.

Well, Google would probably put at least one up, if I understand their system correctly...but Google often omits results highly similar and/or identical to ones it found...So make ten sites and it will only show one...But if you do make the site give it a snazzy layout and say things in big letters like
"SUPER CHEATS YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE"
"SHOW OTHER GAMERS WHO THE REAL n00b IS"
"THINK UP QUICK COMEBACKS TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY YOU'RE CHEATING"
"BECOME HERALDED IN THE COMMUNITY FOR BEING AN EXPERT PLAYER"
...and more excruciating lies..although maybe you should put in a comeback section. That wouldnt be too hard, just make a list of things like "Go eat a cellphone, n00b"

Ok, I know how to modify damage and stuf now, LOL I figure it out in just a few minutes in level edit, I was just to lazy to look before. I found how to edit damage, speed, cost, the distance you see stealth units at ETC. So should I do reduced damage, low speed, and reduced sight range for seeing stealth units and then make everything stealth so you can't see anyting? Should I have all these be seperate, then have one with all of these together? I already was messing around a tiny bit and edited a few things, but I just wanted your input on what specifically i should change. Should I also change vehicles? After I get these made I wil be realeasing them ok, don't worry I'll try and get something done today, this shouldn't take to long to do. Aprime, you said you could make a site layout . . . I could use that after I get these made if you want to make it, or if your not to busy or something. http://www.rencheat.tk

Yes, but you can't have it around just the character the cheater is. It would effect all character that were modified to have the huge collisions effect to have it, not just if you are them only you have it, if I set the nod soldier to have a huge collision all of the other nod soldiers including the one that the cheater is would have the huge collision effect. And then the next game suppose the cheater is on GDI, he will be able to hit all of the nod soldiers easily. . . so that wouldn't work out to well. But if you were to do the opposite like Laeubi told me in a PM, make the heads bigger but the collision smaler they will think they have big head, but they can't hit anything. THANK YOU LAEUBI

I have an idea. Instead of modifying the game how about we screw with windows. We make a program that eats bandwidth on a time curve. Longer they play... worse it gets. It could also put in a little interupt in their mouse that either cuts the info every 1/4 second or adds a little random x movement to screw up their aim. Have it modify the registry by putting a tag to load it up (first it needs to copy itself to a safe directory) with windows.
I beleive that will discourage any cheater from ever downloading a cheat again. And in addition to several sites have several different kinds of cheats. Some people search for them by name not by the general topic
