[sarcasm] God guys, hacking BL is possible. [/sarcasm]

[Slate521]

Shut the hell up about this, please.

I'm tired of morons posting that BL is hackable with aimbots, speedhacks, and the like.

It is not hackable in the sense of what you are likely thinking.

BL's server system is based off of not one single server, or a server farm; e.g. Modern Warfare or some stuff. The servers are hosted by the host's computer or one of their own dedicated servers. It is not renting spaces on the master server(s) to host. Quick list of common complaints.

"Someone is aimbotting and hacking and the likes"

Not hacking. This is a client-sided add-on that tracks players with the crosshair, allowing for clean and quick kills within a minigame.

"Whenever someone logs in and spawns, within a little bit I always get something flashing across the screen or I get turned into a boat, etc"

This is through clever use of events, such as;

OnBotDetectPlayer>Player>SetDatablock>"Boat."
Or, from what I assume, some sort of feedback loop from a bot deleting it's own spawn point. This is not hacking.

Anything that appears to be 'hacking' within the normal sense of Call of Duty or whatever, is not hacking in BL. They are different server systems. 'Hacking' in BL is clever client-sided mods or events, not getting into a server and changing command codes.

However, REAL hacking in BL is malicious and illegal. It involves ratting, or something, the host's computer, and changing their server settings to allow you to be admin or something. This is hacking of someone else, however, and not BL itself. BL is what you're hacking in for.

So, in a shortened little phrase.

BL is not hackable in the way you think. You cannot hack into the server for aimbot or speed. That is a client-sided mod that is not hacking. Any possible hacking in BL is malicious, illegal, and the person who is doing so deserves jailtime. Any hacking you see is going to be events and the like. save for okiver

Please loving shut up about someone hacking your server, i.e. fungusamongus eventing something. For the love of all that is caffeinated, do your goddamn research.

you make no sense, CCR ;-;

Speedhacks aren't possible, except slowly.

[Slate521]

It's just an example. I'm not aware of what's capable of client-side mods in 'cheating' terms, I just know that it's usually what happens.

I was also thinking more speedhacks in the terms of changing your datablock to something faster while in a minigame, not through events.

[Grodus]

clientcmdtimescale();

^use that to change your OWN timescale, but not the whole server's timescale. you don't need admin/you don't need to be the host

when you make your timescale faster than the server, your datablock will move about an inch and then stop in a laggy way. when you make your timescale slower than the server, your datablock will smoothly move more slowly, this also applies to jumping and is thus abusable on things like falling platforms

[Slate521]

That's still not hacking. That's using something that comes with the game. People are claiming that people are 'hacking' their server with external programs.

I think hacking the computer that the server is hosting on to control the server counts as hacking the server.

Actually, aimbots are completely possible, a few are going around circulation right now.
The fact is, every one I've witnessed is too terrible to even work after you're 25 feet away.

Not sure how they're possible anymore considering Badspot removed the ability to detect the position of other players in a server.

[PurpleMetro]

I advise you remove the tips for hacking your player, for noobs could use it and abuse it on other servers :/

[Dr_Zegobob]

This is probably the best thread to describe this issue in blockland. Seriously those noobs that say "omg n00b you can hck blocklnd this guy made a face pop up on my screen omg man thts hackin!!!!1111!1!!111" should learn to understand how the game works and handles it's servers.
