Modwarning / information

Hi,

on a website that is dedicated to modding I’ve found a mod that uses aimbots and wallhacks.

This mod is a simulation of Cheats in Enemy Territory, allowing people to play the game with cheats (See through walls, automatically aim, etc) and configure them to their liking. There currently are cheats available to the public (as most ET players know), but the selling point of this mod is that it Automatically downloads for the client and requires the server to be running the mod. This means that people using Hmod can only cheat on a server running Hmod (and will never be banned by punkbuster for using cheats, since it is a mod).

NOTE This is NOT a hack, but a mod. This WILL NOT give you cheats unless the server is running the mod.

I’ve downloaded it (not for usage) and had a quick view in the pk3-file.
There’s only a clientgame dll.
Part of the read me:

Installing with ETPub or any other mod:

  1. Install the mod normally, then drop the H*****Mod pk3 into the mods main directory.
  2. Run the mod normally, HMod will automatically run itself if compatible
    Note: H    Mod should work all mods that do not use a cgame dll

So it seems that this is simply an aimbot / wallhack named as mod.

I’ve already informed evenbalance and the website where the mod is available as download.

p.s.: H***** to not make the name more public

It would be interesting to see if that actually works as a hack…or as they say a mod…

By the way they describe installation of the mod it would seem it needs to be client and server side…so it would seem it is a mod. The server you want to run this on must have the H*****Mod pk3 on the server otherwise it won’t work. Its basically allowing hackers to congregate together instead of on other servers so that can only be a good thing!

It sounds like the author went out of his way to basically say, “hey, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to cheat, but didn’t want to, I’ve created a mod that will let you see what it’s like. However, this is not a cheat and will only work on servers specifically set up for this”. I don’t really see this as a cheat.

The thing is: you can never use it on a pure server unless the server runs the mod(actually, it only needs the pk3 on there). On an unpure server, things get different. There you should be able to cheat if the cheat code is in the clientgame, and if you put the pk3 in your install.

I wouldn’t report it to the PB guys, it cannot be used on a normal, pure server and doesn’t (try to) surpass PB.

I’m actually quite interested on how badly he hacked the game up, got a link? :stuck_out_tongue:

Aye, it isn’t actually a hack as it won’t run unless the server is running it. Seems to be more useful for training admins how to spot a hacker than causing actual chaos as a hacker.

OK because it’s public anyway here’s the link:

This is just a mod. Pretty much the same as somone starting a server with cheats on and allowing people to play with showtris/normals and the like.

I wouldn’t get worried about this, it’s nothing and as said cannot be used on a normal server. It is not a thing for evenbalance, as it is not a cheat.

The answer I’ve got from evenbalance:
