Cloak Kill Server Side Mod Needed Badly

K, im really sick and tired of this ****ed cloaking mod
so im here to make an offer, why wouldnt some1 create a server side patch that will recognize the cloaking device and just ban/blow up on site the ppl who use it
same thing can be done with the 0 refire weapons
just have the server check the character after he leaves, no when he launches

i`m with u,.. a self destruct on use, that would be cool, untill then i`d try hairy`s anti cloak, in the d.load section

the anti cloak mod is kinda wothless, since ppl seem to have no problem in insertin badly hacked weapons (one's with auto aim and zero refire rate) to patched servers, they just kill u from 4 k then dock camp and keep killin u, u might actually see them but its worthless

Call in the Punk Busters. So far it's only 1 person, but I hope it to grow larger as it becomes popular or other people decide to help out killing cheats. It teaches them a lesson and helps to deter them. Recruits post in the 'Server Police' topic.

added twist had a industructable ship on my main server just now, invis spawning lvl10 sheilds & lvl10 weapons like there was no tomorrow.

Went by the name of MrHandyman

btw the shield he had showed up as named: Uber shield in the main game window, but not in ship scan, there it showed as a lvl 1 std shield.

edit: like i said elsewhere WE the community fubared the game cause noone thought of the problems mods would cause online. Now We are paying the price

a mod like that is not possible without help from DA. although there is one very effective way to get rid of a cheater.

e-mail the admin. it's not very hard, sometimes they're even on the server.

Zach my main server is run by an ISP, the admin which I can contact isn't always around cause of his job. Now there are servers where the admins dont give a **** about what happens, but maybe they'd atleast install a server side mod that catches cheats.

This relying on the almighty ADMIN doesnt wash, the admin is going to want proof, most of the time you don't have time to take a screen shot of what happening cause your dodging incoming fire from the bloody cheat, while trying to get close enough to scan the idiot. This needs fixed by a server side punkbuster mod/util nothing more nothing less. If not then you can kiss this game good bye to the cheats.

ed: Mod not possible without help from DA? well tell that to the ppl that started punkbuster for CS and CSHP for UT, they seemed to do fine now didn't they.

The people that started punkbuster also had the half life SDK to work with and it's doubtful one will ever be released for FL. Our best bet for getting rid of cloaking is simply downloading the mod that disables it client side meaning you can see anyone that's cloaking.
