Wow you guys and your communist internet with such low caps! FFS that is horrible!

Studies have shown it costs less than 1 cent per GB of wired data! So you guys with 20-50GB of data, are getting 20-50 cents worth of data and probably paying upwards of $50/mo. What a scam!

Hello,

My friend wants to know if there is a simple way to turn off Soap DM.

It's great for warming up for comp games, but he wants to sometimes use the server as a pub server.

Is there some kind of console command to disable soap dm?

Thanks

Someone posted earlier in this thread that they requested a ban for someone even posted a youtube video showing they were wallhacking. They thought their post was just deleted because they saw it, then a few days later it was gone without notice. All I am suggesting is a 30 second PM saying something like "Thanks for your ban report, we concluded that the guy was indeed cheating and have banned him." Or maybe just making it clear on the persons profile that they are banned, because so far I've not seen anything like that.

I do appreciate the work you guys are doing to take care of the cheaters, and I do understand this takes time. Cheers!

$layer wasn't allowed and slayer is taken and is also too generic. And the mumble voice always pronounced my name dollar layer, and several friends jokingly called me that. So I chose that as my name here :P

Thanks! I guess one of my main suggestions for cheater/hacker bans would be for the person that submitted it to be notified about the decision of the case. I was told that those threads are not made public, so when someone submits one they never know what happens unless they contact an admin.

Lastly, do you need anything else to review Tycho, or are you good for now?

Very cool. However I am quite reluctant to download this until I know exactly what it does.

Can you provide a little more information as to how it is detecting cheaters?

Hello, good to see an admin from TF2C in this thread. I've submitted several ban requests for hackers in the past week to TF2C, but I guess they are still awaiting review.

That is interesting that you are confirming that Tycho = Thundah, and I am not surprised.

I gathered some data and would like you to take a look at the graph I made. I sourced my data from the last 10 logs.tf lobbies from Tycho and Thundah. I only chose lobbies which they both played sniper in, and lobbies which actually had accuracy stats, and discarded any of the stats with a damage sample size of ~<750.

Tycho's average accuracy 59.7%
Thundah's average accuracy 29.4%

So if Tycho is Thundah's alt, then the accuracy is almost exactly doubled based on the 10 lobby sample group. I think pretty much everyone will agree that Tycho's accuracy is far to high for him to be legit. And that it appears to be an alt of Thundah's, suggests that he decided to make an alt strictly for lobby cheating purposes.

If you require further evidence, I would be happy to review some demo's of Tycho and report tick numbers that are bs. Also please let me know if you will be handling the ban yourself, or if you would like me to submit a ban request on center for Tycho.

That and also, couple that with making sure you have logs.tf extended stats enabled.

For those of you booking serveme.tf servers, this is for some strange reason NOT enabled by default, but can be enabled via a simple rcon command: rcon tftrue_logs_accuracy 1

Many lengthy explanations here that are TLDR.

Yes running a 60Hz monitor you can only see 60 FPS, however if you limit your game FPS to 60, your mouse movement and accuracy will suffer. In my opinion I prefer leaving the game at default 299 cap. The more stable your FPS, the more stable your mouse movement in TF2 will be. If you fluctuate from say 100 FPS at one moment to 300 FPS the next, your tracking and aim will suffer.

Oh and those talking about VSYNC in TF2 or any source engine game. Forget about it. Have you actually tried it? The increase input lag is insane. I tried VSYNC one day, and it looked nice but I literally could no longer rocket jump properly. It was that bad.

I used to play with insane sense due to running out of desk space and my mouse hand hitting the wall. Used to play with a 2in/360. Now I'm right around 5 inches. My scout aim suffered previously at 2 inches, but has improved with 5. I'd say 5-7 or so is a decent scout sense.

I appreciate your concern. When I saw a guy with a fresh account backing up his blatant cheating friend and using phrases like "You're just bad" I believe I responded appropriately given the condescending nature of his original post. If his original post was more polite, I would have responded accordingly.

LOL... yea I have no idea what is going on with them. I heard something about thundah and tycho making lobbies on servers with VAC disabled. VAC is enabled by default on any server. Something fishy is going on....

Completely bazzar. The only thing I can think of is that the admin or moderator that approved the ban is slightly confused, and perhaps thought that tyco enabled sv_cheats to enable built in aimbot. (I don't even know if tf2 has built in sv_cheats aimbot, I know counter-strike does). Which would fall more under the lines of abuse rather than actual cheating/exploiting the game.

The tyco guy is very shady though. I've not watched any STV's of him, but he's consistently 50% accurate on sniper and I've heard of him hitting many ridiculous shots one after another. He also said at one point he's a plat player and that is his alt, then he said he's an invite player and this is my alt. Not completely sure about him, but I'd encourage someone to get some good STV footage of him, then resubmit a ban if you have evidence of cheats. I know TF2C will 10 year ban anyone they think is actually cheating.

Edit: Just was about to join a lobby and I see this discussion about tyco: http://pastebin.com/QYscPGye

I know for a fact he has cheated as sniper in multiple lobbies. Does he cheat on scout and roamer? Probably not given he averages like 130 DPM on those classes. His positioning and general game sense is so horrible that using his aimbot is the only way he's able to get a handful of kills.

Regarding my friends with thousands of hours on sniper. Why would I want a dumbass like you talking to them trying to justify your friends cheats? I'm not going to give you their names, but I will assure you have discussed Carbon as well as other cheaters with them in depth. If you really want to know, you can look at my friends list. Here is a clue one guys name starts with a d, and the other starts with an M.

Anyways I won't be responding to anymore of your posts, as they contain a potent amount of bullshit.

Suddenly I have an appetite for balls...

Was it the Puppy21 post? If so I can confirm he got a 10 year ban after I asked an admin about that ban. I played soldier with Puppy21 in various lobbies prior to that incident. I had never even seen him snipe before. After watching that video I personally messaged him, and he did admit to writing his own wall hack and trigger bot in his spare time. I have no idea why he would risk testing out this hack on his main account with 5K hours in a lobby...

LOL yep, he's also a Buddy of Carbon. :P

I'm not sure if you are joking or trolling or what. Did you read any of the evidence presented in my first post? Did you personally review the STV? The quote was simply a humorous addition to the other undeniable evidence presented.

Don't bullshit me about hitboxes and flicking. Watch the damn STV yourself. I have friends with thousands of hours on sniper, and they agree this guy is a cheater. Heck I originally didn't think Carbon was a cheater due to playing with him a few times and remembering how bad he was. An invite player actually played against him in a lobby a few weeks ago and brought him to my attention. At that time I thought nothing of it, until someone brought him up again, I looked into it reviewed the STV and that coupled with the accuracy stats its clear that he is cheating.

My question is why are you defending him? The last time I had someone defending a hacker, it turns out they were one as well...

I struggled with this also, but I personally asked the sizziling stats dev and he told me a way to find it that usually works.

1) Go to their steam profile
2) Copy their steam URL
3) Go to http://steamidconverter.com/ and paste in their steam URL
4) Copy and paste the Steam ID 64
5) Paste the Steam ID 64 numbers after the /player/ in this link http://sizzlingstats.com/player/

If they do not have a custom steam URL name but have the steam 64 ID already in their profile then you can skip going to steamidconverter site and just paste it in after the sizzilingstats /player/ link.

What I've been doing lately is using logs.tf to find suspiciously high accuracy stats, then I'll hunt around for an STV. Might take you several tries to find logs.tf accuracy stat that has a corresponding SS with STV.

LOL... I noticed that yesterday as well. I even included his quote when I submitted him for a TF2C ban. He's stating his ethics right there on his profile page, that you must exploit all vulnerabilities. Look's like he has accomplished just that by downloading cheating software!

Looks like probably another cheater given his unusually high accuracy. To confirm this we will want to see if there is an STV. Might not find one for those specific logs, thats fine, just see if you can use my above steps to find one with corresponding accuracy stats and an STV to go with it. Takes a bit of digging. If you can't find one let me know and I'll look as well. If you do find one please post a link to the .ss, I'd be happy to take a look at it as well. And if you think he is walling, you can turn on r_drawothermodels 2, to see if he is targeting people behind walls.

I think there are far less cheaters in ESEA due to these cheating cowards being scared of playing at higher levels and getting called out. Also even in UGC Gold/Plat you have chance of being twitch casted and hundreds of people watching you. Lately most of the ones I've found have been mostly steel and silver UGC players.

All of these guys that play on TF2C I've been reporting on the TF2C forums. The problem is, I never hear a single word after my report is filed. I have to try to single out an admin or moderator to check on the status of the ban report. Apparently for hack reports they keep the report private so you can never see it after you submit it. Very annoying policy, but I did hear back that a couple of my reported guys were banned already.

He may sound like a nice guy and you may think that his aim is well trained. Can you tell me why he is so bad at scout and can't even manage 50% accuracy and 130 DPM most games?

His aim in that demo was some of the most erratic movement I've ever seen from a sniper. It wasn't just little side flicks here and there, his mouse was literally all over the place. It looks exactly like what I'd expect, a bad player that can't aim coupled with an aim assist.

Also please download and review the STV in post #1. It's very obvious that he is cheating.

Exactly. His aiming patterns do not make any sense at all. Completely bazaar. And he is so out of place especially as a sniper that he dies a lot. He's a bad player that has enhanced his game with some cheats, simple as that.
