description: Phase 1: He's better than me. He must cheat. <LTserv1> canisnip: !rg light <LTserv1> @light: i love it when people rg me <LTserv1> @light: it's like a "stop killing me" whine Phase 2: He doesn't have RenGuard. Now he's really in trouble: <LTserv1> canisnip: a haxing mod? <LTserv1> @light: a skill mod <LTserv1> canisnip: lol get rg <LTserv1> @light: it comes with experience <LTserv1> @light: lol, I don't have to <LTserv1> canisnip: u have 2 <LTserv1> canisnip: me <LTserv1> @light: i think i know the rules here Phase 3: No-one insults RenGuard and gets away with it! <LTserv1> canisnip: ns <LTserv1> canisnip: hax <LTserv1> @light: just stfu <LTserv1> @light: i don't cheat, and RG isn't reuored here Phase 4: "If you don't cheat, why don't you have RenGuard?" <LTserv1> canisnip: well if u dont cheat why dont u get rg then? And finally, Phase 5: The justification: (Ignoring everything the other person has said, assure yourself RG works perfectly well) <LTserv1> @light: because it's buggy and can be bypassed <LTserv1> canisnip: yeah so? people will be sure u do not cheat This bit of comedy brought to you by LTServ, RenGuard and the letters: n o o b (Thanks also to goat for being on IRC and seeing these priceless logs)

description: how is the ability to have it be bypassed any reason for you not to install it? It's like saying, "I'm not going to join any VAC secured servers in CS since they can be bypassed" Anything is bypassable. Not to mention "buggy" is a little vague. Would it be better if no one used RG since we could all use excuses as such?

description: How is "it can be bypassed" an excuse at all? Are you saying that there's no point in you downloading it since you'd just bypass it anyway? If not, then no that's not a legitimate excuse in any way. It's buggy? I recall you saying on xphaze that RG gives you no trouble, you just choose not to use it for your own reasons. It sounds like you're just pulling papers out of a hat and posting whatever they say.

I wouldn't bypass it if I had it, but the fact it can be bypassed means if someone has it, then they can still be cheating, which kinda makes it a void point. Look closer. I said it installs and I can run it, but It's more a matter of principle. I played cheat free for ages until RG came out, and I continue to play cheat free. I don't need RG to tell anyone that. This was just designed to be a bit of a joke, not a debate over RenGuard. Can a mod lock this please?

description: Just because it is bypassable it doesn't mean it doesn't do anything. punkbuster and VAC for cs are both bypassable but they sure do help in rooting out cheaters. Hell, I was in a server that didn't even have half-rg and it took like 5-10 minutes for this mod to kick a cheater that i knew was cheating(bighead) Fact of the matter is that an anticheat such as renguard reinforces the belief if you think someone is cheating. If some guy shot you around a corner with headshots and you didn't know if it was lag or big head and you look to see if he has RG. Wouldn't you think there'd be more of a chance he was cheating if he was NOT using RG? logic would point to yes. it's a matter of being a good gamer to install it whether or not you cheated in the past or not. I've never cheated once in the +3 years i've played this game but i don't see myself better than anyone else that i don't install it. In fact I think anyone who WOULDN'T cheat would be just to quick as I was to install it and keep it running. It's just so childish if it really is a "matter of principle" You think you're the only fucking guy out there who hasn't cheated? Think again.

description: No one has a sense of humor these days. I find it funny, CAUSE ITS TRUE lol. RenGuard basically ruined how most people play. You join a server without renguard, you get 3 headshots, already you have a dumbass going "!rg <nick>" -> <nick> is NOT running RenGuard. "You cheat." People rely on the tool too much and making them forget the term "skills". Theres no such thing as skill anymore these days in Renegade, you pop a few caps on a player, you get called a cheater or forcedrg. Not everyone knows what RenGuard is. You cant expect everyone to have it. You get called a noob for not having RG. Wow big deal, Ive done the same as light, cheat free and I dont need RG to proove it.

description: Yeah, fuck human decency. i mean everyone else uses RG to show they aren't cheating but when it comes to players who haven't cheated before (supposedly, you can't really use that since there's no real way to back that up anyways) they have some sort of amnesty of using it (don't know WHERE they come up with that one) No. Of course you don't have to use renguard. But don't go complainin' about people forcerging you unless you really have a problemw ith renguard -- which i'd say most of the time that they probably don't even care enough to look for help anyways, but whatever. Christ almighty, it's not like at least once you've been wrong about saying a person cheated before. But yeah, you're right. Think back to when you first started. People who are new to the game are at that exact same level. It's only NATURAL that they would think you cheated if you did something they didn't know you could do (ie obwalking/corner shooting/etcetc) So when you download and install RG this reassures some people that they aren't cheating. Of course it doesn't mean they aren't. Don't give me bullshit about people not testing when they have RG either. I was tested just a few days ago and that's not the first. Fact of the matter is, a server Renguarded will have less cheaters than a server without it. At least half RG you have a better way of kicking someone. God knows i've been in plenty of servers that didn't have RG and you'd have to votekick people out if they cheated (and some people don't even vote..) So what then do you do if they're is no mod? Leave? that's not good enough

description: It's fair if the person can install RG but decides not to for no reason. My opinion goes as far as saying that anyone who doesn't even try to get it to work that it's fair. That's just me, though. This thread shouldn't get locked when you're wrong. Eitherway, I get accused of cheating when I'm not all the time. What are you going to do about it? Test me. It's like saying, "I'm not going to test because I'm not cheating" Sorry sir, but your word doesn't cut it" Like I said as well using RG doesn't stop people from doing either. Take screenshots? Done 'em. Do tests? Done 'em. Name it and I've done it. All using RG.

Listen, using RG or NOT you can cheat, if you get tested when using RG anyway you've just proved my point even more. You're making yourself look an idiot by trying to out smart me with RG rofl. How did I prove your point? You can get tested whether you have RG or not. They are the same. What was your point? that people get tested? Whooptee fucking do. Think of RG as this, if you must. When you're playing a moderator is going to look at if you're using RG first. If you "fail" that part of the test he'll move onto the next, which would be testing you. Next would be screenshots. Get it?

People voted to kick me some maps later.(this being after i was tested and sent screenshots AND had RG) as for mods only being able to. What would the point of that be? They'd just ban if they thought it was a cheater. The fact remains there is no real reason to not use RG unless you have a problem with it and you can't install. (Which, like i said, you COULD ask for help..) At least for forcerg i can be sure i can forcerg out a cheater when there isn't a mod to ban him. If you guys can find a valid reason why not to install Renguard other than it doesn't work for you or somehow slows your computer down (i doubt it, what are the chances, especially when you probably run 50 programs in the background). Then I might see a reason why you'd be right to complain about being force rg'ed.

Its solely to support n00bs brains into thinking they are safe.. Your not making points at all, your contradicting yourself. Is that all you think RG does? I guess you know how to bypass it, right? just like everyone else. Not that even if i would believe you, you wouldn't tell BHS how you do it either. The point of RG is that is stops 99% of the people who intend on using cheats. (even if it was 10% of the cheaters it's still better than NOTHING) Let me tell you again. If a moderator thinks you are cheating, having RG is one way of saying that you passed their test (I'd say it was the best since it's the fastest and most efficient way - 99 out of a 100 isn't bad) If you didn't have RG then the mod would then go and test you and ask for screenshots. A good mod would ask for a test and a screenshot if you had RG as well. What's the difference? that you're more liable to be cheating if not using RG, than using it. It's a fact. It's a geniune fact. You can't dispute it because it's true. Argue if you want, but it'll be wrong. Besides, even if you STILL think for some reason RG did nothing; then WHY did they ban people who TRIED bypassing it and got caught? It's one less cheater and that's something i'll go and use and support renguard for. Let me ask this again, if you can find a valid reason to not use renguard other than it not working on your computer, then do not complain about being forcerg'ed. Thank you.

I play in servers that don't require it, or in servers when the hosts and admins know who I am. And are you 100% sure RenGuard can block Bighead? The current version of RG has a reliance that means, in theory, someone with enough skills and the correct code could use Bighead and RenGuard at the same time, and RG would declare them to be clean. I'm not going to tell you how, or attempt it because i'm not a cheat, nor do I encourage them, but Crimson knows about the possibility and it should be fixed when 1.04 comes out. Please try and follow this logic: Player + RenGuard = Can Cheat (harder to do I admit, but definately possible) Player + No RenGuard = Can Cheat (easily) Therefore: Me + RenGuard = Could cheat Me + No RenGuard = Could cheat If I could cheat with it, and cheat without it, then why both…

I do them all, but I don't expect them to block all intruders, if someone really wants to get into my system or house they will. I don't instantly presume "the house is locked, it must be secure". Were as some players presume "he is using RG, he doesn't cheat". Besides, RG isn't about protecting me, it's about 'protecting' the servers, so your example doesn't really give a decent parallel.

No matter what you guys say to defend yourselves it's hopeless...People can and will cheat on Renegade no matter what you guys do, you have said it yourself; Nothing is perfect nor will it ever be. Renguard or not cheaters will exist. #3. Take some time to think about the many contradictory statements you guys have brought upon yourselves while trying to debate. It's quite pathetic really... #4. I don't understand why players such as ourselves should download Renguard, we are experienced and have talent in the game, most people know that already and leave us to have our fun; often times carrying on a joyful conversation while doing so. #5. Is this debate about running Renguard or who the !forcerg command should be able to be accessed by? Last I checked all servers on Renegade had their own rules and own policy on how to run things, correct me if I'm wrong please? Last but not least #6. Explain this infamous logic everyone is talking about as to why people should use RG. Renguard contains flaws in it like any other program that could be made, running it or not running it tests will occur throughout the rest of the time that Renegade stays alive. I would like to comment that Renguard has come a long ways and does allow in some cases for people to enjoy the game a little more. In no way do I have any problems with Renguard besides the fact of how it brainwashes many people into thinking RG= "he doesn't cheat." I am with many others that choose not to run it because I am cheat free and have been cheat free. It's a video game.....Enjoy it, and quit debating about some game "client-side bot that doesn't allow people to cheat"

description: No, I wouldn't forcerg them. I would RG them. If I knew they were using RG I would be less worried about their cheating but still be cautious; if they weren't I'd try to see more into it and be more cautious (ie looking at my health and seeing if they were doing shady damage) A moderator SHOULD look to see if you have RG first. Of course there are exceptions. A moderator banned me before after i had RG and i tested well and i gave screenshots (I don't know what else you can ask for unless you want my urine, too) Look I'm not saying people abuse the forcerg command because they do. If a person thinks you cheat he'll be intent on believing it. So being votekicked or whatever else is the same thing. It can be abused. Of course it'd be stupid to say it's bad to have votekick since it's a good tool if there is no moderators online (in fact it's really the only defence; unless it's half-rg server, which forcerg'ing would be a good defence just as well Look a person who is new to the game would seem suspicious to them that a person who is so much better than them (It's hard for new guys to recognize that players can get that much better than them and do things they didn't KNOW were possible [yes, this falls under the 3+ headshots in a row]) It only really makes it seem more suspicious that a person would not install renguard when there's no reason not to for them. Don't you agree with that? Of course there's no 100%s with anything so to argue that it's not perfect is futile. It's why people agree to testing when they aren't cheating. It's why they take screenshots. and guess what? it's the same reason i use renguard. I've got nothing to hide, so why does it matter to me? you? Look I'm not saying RG isn't full proof. It serves as reassurance to moderators and players alike that you'd take a step to install it. A screenshot isn't full proof either but you don't complain, do you?

description: Quote: #1. light posted this to be humurous not for it to spread into some mind boggling debate about whether or not people should run RG. Light's "joke" was not funny in the least. The intent of his post is irrelevant, a forum tends to be a dynamic place of discussion and a topic rarely stays on its intended course of discussion. Quote: #4. I don't understand why players such as ourselves should download Renguard, we are experienced and have talent in the game, most people know that already and leave us to have our fun; often times carrying on a joyful conversation while doing so. It's easy to understand: You should download RenGuard because you're expected to do so by the majority of server owners. I'm probably way more experienced than you are, having played this game since the first day of the beta test back on 3 December of 2001; I'm expected to run RenGuard like any other user and I do so without issue or complaint. Quote: #5. Is this debate about running Renguard or who the !forcerg command should be able to be accessed by? Last I checked all servers on Renegade had their own rules and own policy on how to run things, correct me if I'm wrong please? Which answers your above statement about why you don't understand RenGuard being a necessity on servers. Quote: Last but not least #6. Explain this infamous logic everyone is talking about as to why people should use RG. Renguard contains flaws in it like any other program that could be made, running it or not running it tests will occur throughout the rest of the time that Renegade stays alive. Of course it contains flaws in it, but I'll reiterate a point from Crimson since she's not here at the moment: Where's your proof that any of these supposed flaws actually exist? For the sake of argument, let's assume that RenGuard has some sort of flaw that allows a few people to run a cheating package somehow - even if they did, why does that mean that nobody should use RenGuard? Go on with your gaming and refuse to run …

RenGuard 1.04 is beta-test ready, but the backend network is a complete mess because mac left us with non-working garbage code. The backend network is getting a complete rewrite as well. We KNOW that RenGuard is pretty shitty the last month or two. Once our RG2 backend and RenGuard 1.04 are out, your confidence will come back. I assure you. Furthermore, RenGuard is NOT intended to be a be-all/end-all tool. On my server, we use RenGuard as the first check. After that, we use all the logging available to us to make a determination. Screen shots are 100% worthless and pointless and anyone who relies on them is a fool. Trust me. I also use a range of psychological factors that I'm working on coding into my bot to make a percentage likelihood of whether or not the person is cheating. But in the end, I have seen people accused of aimbots and cheats ever since the first day the game came out. No anti-cheat, even the unattainable perfect one, will ever stop n00bs from thinking people cheat when they get owned.

Afterall, they can ALL be bypassed, so why even bother in the first place? I do them all, but I don't expect them to block all intruders, if someone really wants to get into my system or house they will. I don't instantly presume "the house is locked, it must be secure". Were as some players presume "he is using RG, he doesn't cheat". Besides, RG isn't about protecting me, it's about 'protecting' the servers, so your example doesn't really give a decent parallel. Exactly, you know taking those precautions don't prevent ALL occurances of being bypassed, yet you still use them. They are there for two reasons, being a) it helps protect your interests and b) it's better than not having anything at all. However all forms of security have a flaw: they can be bypassed. By your own admittance: Quote: Player + RenGuard = Can Cheat (harder to do I admit, but definately possible) Player + No RenGuard = Can Cheat (easily) It is harder to cheat than if there is no Renguard, as it will prevent all but the hardcore people from cheating. It gives a perfect parallel, you just failed to see it. One stops people that would like to prohibit your enjoyment of life regarding personal interests, and the other one stops people that would like to prohibit your enjoyment of life regarding personal interests. I'll leave you to decide which one is Renguard, and which one is the "other" security feature.

Explain to me how you test for a damage mod that only uses the alternate fire, or one that can be anabled and disabled at any time. Screenshots detect little more than the big head mods from over 2 years ago. Any cheat that could bypass RG would more than likely be able to bypass these simple tests as well. RG is not really there to prevent YOU from cheating(most people that install RG are more than likely not going to be cheaters), it's there to make the moderator's job easier. If they can pull up a list of everyone in the server who is not running RG, it narrows down the possibilities a tremendous amount. By not cheating, and not running RG, the only thing you're doing is make the job of the mods/admins even harder than it already is.

The fact that you can cheat and use RG means that I don't care if someone is running it or not. I honestly don't. I haven't used the !rg command or checked the RenGuard page for ages. You can assume most RG users are clean, fine, but what about the ones that aren't? Should we ignore RG users and say they don't cheat because they are running your software? If you REALLY thought they cheated, but they were running RG what would you do? warranto: your parallel doesn't work. It works if you presume I am running a server and don't want bad people in my server (house), but RG affords me no personal protection, it doesn't protect my PC from anything.

description: You still fail to understand. Imagine it like a water filtering system. * You have the big river bringing water into the city. (This is ALL Renegade players) * The city filters out all the dirt, most particles, bacteria, fingi, etc. before it gets to your house. (This is RenGuard) * You install a filter in your fridge which removes the last remaining impurities before the water comes out of the door and into your glass. (This being moderators, logging, tests) Now what would happen if you eliminated the city filtering? Easy! Your little filter in your fridge would fill up with sludge and be useless very quickly. Bottom line? Use RenGuard as your preliminary filter and greatly reduce the number of cheaters you have to find manually.

A lock on your house protects the house, a firewall protects your computer. None of those do anything to protect you, except by consequence of protecting the object where you reside. RenGuard protects the server, where you are currently residing. Perhaps a better parallel would be to think of it as the security gate before getting on a flight. Sure the average person will not try to do anything that would require them to be stopped, but you are still required to go through the security -like everyone else. I've never seen anyone complain that they had to suffer the indignity of a security check, because they hold high principles and would never do anything.

I think you and Crimson are getting at the same thing RG does an excellent job stopping bigheads, damage h4x, and even that pest known as right click...but it has its weaknesses too...RG status, a well-taken set of SS, and the lack of anything fishy in the statistics (9 kills against GOOD advanced inf in 15 seconds w/ a Minigunner = pretty obvious damage h4x) should prove someone innocent of everything short of a VERY devious aimbot...P.S. Crimson, when will RG get the ability to scan for external hack programs such as aimbots?

This same instance occurs in the second example as well. This continuous event that takes place is also what leads me to playing on servers I mod/admin for, or that I know the moderator and admins of. Being discredited by not running RG is a problematic issue with Renegade. Too many players believe that RenGuard is perfect and you all will admit it yourself that RG is not perfect, so why use it? People and moderators of many servers rely way too heavily on Renguard. I'm not sure what is so hard to grasp that concept, or…

description: Your logic is flawed. Even if people rely too heavily upon it, it still doesn't change the situation: If you refuse to run an anti-cheat program and end up having someone call you on it, chances are you're probably cheating regardless of what bullshit excuse you can come up with for not wanting (or being able) to run it. That's what we're trying to get into your head, listen fool.

Other than that: a !forcerg isn't a punishment, it's a good thing to encourage people to use RG for all the reasons crimson explained over and over again.

description: Can you stop posting comparisons involving sex and someone breaking into your house, i've said it once i will say it again, This is a game, although you may feel orgasmically towards it its not sex, and its not you're house being burgled, its a game! a video game!, Cheaters can cheat with RG and without RG, right now RG is helping n00bs kick out anyone who doesnt have RG, When the new RG comes out, I hear its going to be a big improvement and i will update my RG, Then hopefully we can truly cut down the cheaters in ren and start owning nubs without getting kicked out of the game.

description: I've already gone and shown that RenGuard can be 'bypassed'. That is, an external program that in that case was a clickbot. Although Blazer says that clickbots are crap and dont work very well, in multiplayer practice, the clickbot worked surprisingly well. And as long as you have a decent framerate, it aids you very well. The only way I found to spot this is when you walk into a building where the base power is offline (the interior is red), it went pretty wild. Since a clickbot is an external program, you could probably pause it too, so it can not only get past RenGuard, it could also bypass tests that moderators can give if you can pause it. This is why they need to look into ways of preventing you from playing if it can detect any unallowed programs running in the background. Although this would be a more difficult thing to do... I hope that this is addressed in RenGuard 1.04

His problem is with a lot of renegade players(including some moderators) who believe anyone running RG cannot cheat and anyone not running it, is cheating. Bingo. I don't see how other people believing Renguard is flawless is a reason for you to not run it. If you ARE bypassing Renguard, it's the other person's loss if they are trusting Renguard 100%. Why can't you just run Renguard and have people think you aren't cheating? Weather you actually are cheating or not, people like this "canisnip" guy will stop accusing you.
