» Another week, another version of C-D. This is a client AND server release which means everyone using Cheating-Death should update to the latest version. The client release fixes some recent problems with Steam DOD 1.2, adds additional detections and slightly modifies the way the C-D client and server interact. In addition the client will now warn players if the C-D is no active i.e. if it has been disabled or unloaded. The server release includes some bug fixes, will now also interact slightly differently with the client and now sports updated entity lists and some internal changes.

» You may or may not have heard of steambans before, but I thought that I would introduce you all to this great service. SteamBans.com is an independent anti-cheat service working with united-admins to crack down on cheaters, but it's a service with a difference, it has nothing to do with the client, no modules to download, no software, and doesn’t need anything on the server. All that is required is rcon. What happens is, SteamBans.com sends an rcon 'users' at regular intervals and checks everyone’s steam id against their database of banned users, if a user is found to be cheating, they are kicked and banned from the server. As for their bans database, members of steambans, if they believe someone is hacking, can take a demo and submit it for checking. It is then checked over by a number of the SteamBans team, if they are indecisive of a demo, they have a crew of "demo-consultants" consisting of pro/semi-pro players, who will check demo's and give their opinions, should they decide that it is a cheater, they will be added to the database. Ofcourse, people are told they are banned by steambans.com, and are given a chance to defend themselves, like an appeal. Steambans are also working on 8 projects, to help server admins, both technically and educational, such as a Fingerprint HD Scanner which can detect the cheats on a clients computer, and also a metamod plugin for those who wish to use that. So, for anyone looking for a little more protection against cheaters, without the problems of other 3rd-party anti-cheats.

PS2.1 Progress Update Posted By Kik :May 15, 2004, 09:52 »
» A quick post regarding Psychostats v2.1 from stormtrooper. "I figure it's about time I post an update regarding the progress of the PsychoStats v2.1 release. Anyone can always check the current changelog to the left for up-to-date information as to what has been fixed or implemented in the new version: http://www.psychostats.com/pstatslog.php One major feature that was finally fully implemented as of today was full AWARDS SUPPORT. PS2.1 will calculate and store weekly and monthly awards automatically. Awards are defined in an awards.cfg and are very flexable (each MOD can have it's own awards.cfg too for mod-specific awards). Another major feature in PS2.1 is the inclusion of an Admin Control Panel (ACP) that is built into the themes to allow users to login to the stats page to customize their players and clans. A new AMXMOD plugin was created to help with the authentication process to make sure players/users are verified before being able to login to the stats page. There is still no release date for PS2.1. So please be patient. I have to finish several small fixes/tweaks before this release will be ready for release. Thanks Stormtrooper" More info available here COSTA CS Teamplay Awards Posted By statix :May 14, 2004, 14:11 »
» One of the main things that have driven me away from using stats on my server is the abolishment of teamplay, stats tend to make players just go on a frag hunt, which is why I was so impressed when I found this neat add-on for Psycostats. COSTA Counter-Strike Teamplay awards aims to erradicate these problems by implementing military ranks, and medals for completing mission goals such as planting the bomb and rescuing hostages e.t.c., this works both ways, for example you will go down for killing hostages. This stats system also looks at weapon proficiency, to be successfull in the stats you will need to have had atleast one kill with each of the 24 weapons, this is supposed to encourage some of the better players to use weaker weapons, to advance in their ranking. Take a look at it here: http://costa.sourceforge.net/ Xfire Posted By Darkmalice :May 13, 2004, 19:43 »
» Made by the people at Ultimate Arena, Xfire is a new innovative program that allows gamers to chat and easily meet up to play their favorite games.

Or, you may see when somebody is looking for a game, or try to organize one yourself. Xfire supports 125 different games, and is an essential utility for groups of gamers. Check it out here.
