Some facts:
The build of scripts.dll APB has is deliberatly locked to the APB mod to prevent its use with Renegade and with other mods (mostly because its not ready for Renegade use yet although I want to release for renegade just as much as you guys want it released)
The file-hash anti-cheat system we have implemented (the one which server owners can turn on and off) is based on comparing the hash (no I wont say what sort of hash algorithm we are using) of the file on the client with the hash of the file on the server.
To allow for the different language versions of renegade (and the fact that individual server owners may want to approve e.g. non-cheat 3rd party model replacements) we support an ini file called anticheat.ini which goes on the server and matches file-names to hashes. So if the client sends a hash matching one in anticheat.ini, its considered valid. There is also a tool called achash.exe that generates the hashes for anticheat.ini.
The tool I am working on at the moment though is something that will be run by the scripts 4.0 installer when you install 4.0. What it does is to use the official anticheat.ini (the one that contains all the hashes for all the different language versions of renegade) and checks important Renegade games files against those hashes. If the hashes don't match, the file is moved to a backup folder and the relavent file for your version of Renegade (English, French, German, whatever) will be downloaded from a TT server.
This tool will also identify if you are not running patch 1.037 and if you are not, will download some files and set some registry keys to correctly set up 1.037
Do note that there are other anti-cheat changes in scripts 4.0 (including a number of features ported across from BIATCH) and that all of the anti-cheat features previously handled by RenGuard are now covered by the new 4.0 anti-cheat.

As soon as you physically take his computer, most likely.
You might have to call his mom.

It was my understanding that said lock would not try to be unlocked by you, no matter what keys were given...? Unless i was misinformed?
|
To be honest, I've never heard of a lock that tried to be unlocked by someone, lol. But that's kind of besides my point.
jonwil basically just described how his lock works.. which happens to be a pretty common type of lock, so an experienced locksmith wouldn't have much difficulty getting past it.
analogies are weird

For those who didnt get that analogy ... any body with a good disassembler and knowledge of cracking applications can unlock it. Since, the dll is locked to specific applications - namely APB / reborn Server.dat.
Though the only 3 people I can think of who can do such a feat would be JNZ, hex, and fairly likely 0x90.
As for me ... i'm waiting - AS SHOULD YOU. Go out side, get a job, do something constructive while you wait. I am. I'm getting a degree and working for a programming company. (also Rene-Buddy/RenX when I can).
Just let it go guys. All the programmers know how long it takes to code extensive modules and applications... Those who just play the game get a little impatient yet have no idea how long things like this take - try it for your self?

I can tell you that we are working on 4.0 as fast as we can and that we will release it when we have fixed the bugs and are satisfied that it is stable and bug free enough for a release.
I want 4.0 out as much as everyone but asking about the release date will not help get it out any faster.

Yeah, I realize and I applaud your efforts in working on this project. Thanks. 
I was just curious if you considered it close, although I do realize that other things may come up.
Is there actually a way that I can help?(being serious here, that could sound rude but that's not my intention)

Judging from what I see as a tester, it's running really well. Bugs are fixed quickly. New functionality is added. I would not be surprised if we had a release within two months.

Best thing I've seen in this forum. Hopefully it's true.
