Cheaters in MMO.RPG/FPS/RTS

[xtraze]

I have encountered many peoblems with cheaters and although I'm new to these games, I can do better if these cheaters disappear.

Eg. In Gunzz online MMORPG

I have seen members who move while a ??? follows them and kills everyone. This means we cannot go near this person at anyway.

And I have tried to cheat myself and every time I got disconnected from the server. What does this mean, are they hacking the Gunz server ?


Use this thread to discus about those cheaters and your experiences.

There are a variety of ways to cheat in these games. Diablo is vulnerable to cheating because the characters are not stored on the server. Diablo II fixed this loophole. BZFlag has cheats possible because the client does most of the work, and can create numerous cheating effects. Starcraft is vulnerable to 3rd party programs intercepting the data in memory and altering it locally. For each cheat, a separate counter is required.

You have explained in a Programming manner. Understood but a little bit of confusion.

Well the ijji Gunz uses NProtect to protect from cheating, but still new softwares can override this!

I guess WingedPanther's knowledge of programming really helps him out in this situation.

In Gunz the duel,
There is a 3rd party DLL Injector that ,.. simply injects a DLL into the game client. I have tried it once and we have to do that at the correct moment to make sure the cheat work.

Only get about 2 seconds though.
