I lost the PSD so **** it.
(Accepting new PSD's)

It's been a while right? No we aren't dead or skimping on the updates, lives happen.
I'm in a decent mood so lets skip the nonsense.

Here is what's going on:

General:
[X] Shotbot patch Version 1 ;)
[-] ESP patch Version 2
[X] /colors command so people will hopefully stop spamming the chat trying to find it. 
[X] When you join a room you will be alerted if Friendly Fire is on. 
[/] Delay on sniper between scoping in and shooting.

Clan War:
A lot of server sided things which I cannot really do.
[-] Icon flashing when you get into a clan war.

Key
[X] = Done
[-] = In progress
[/] = May not even happen.

Comments, questions, concerns below.
Please keep suggestions in the suggestion thread.

If I forgot anything, remind me.

I think there are 3 (if not 4) versions of Shotbot, do you guys by any chance have them all? Just out of curiosity because I've been sending some GM's the one I randomly find

In most cases the patch is a fun little test I did. It's not going to be as blatant as crashing the player, that's not fun at all. I might screw with them first. As for it's compatibility it should encompass all shotbots released up to now. I won't give out any specifics but it's a lot more unique then whatever comes out on ragezone.

Would you mind releasing the sb patch right now instead of finishing all the secondary stuff to release it all together? I belive setting priorities in the great work you do is key to make this server, at least, better.

Thanks for your work, PLEASE, keep it up!

What about allowing GM's to scan processes in order to find sb.exe's.

1. That's a gross misuse of power and turns our client into somewhat of a backdoor.
2. Rename ************ -> ???? -> profit.

It's not my call I simply send in my code to Linear for him to review and do with as he pleases.

True, but most shotbots or hacks are called in the most obvious ways in order to kill them yourself. This could be usefull as a first, quick option to check if a player is using hacks.

Like I said, that intrudes people's privacy and pushes our client to being some kind of disgusting backdoored mess. With the obvious flaw, it would be 100% useless to dedicate time to even coding the whole thing.

We will never exploit users by making our game a backdoor and then do as we please with it.
