So you could literally like fucking change textures and game files and just

hack to hell

dayz had this too at launch

the arma engine is built in such a way where a client can do anything

oh you want to spawn a car and weapons there? sure thing bud let me sync that to all clients for you

Spawning wasn't possible but the gameserver would believe anything the client said in terms of aim, bullets and movement

including what bullets your m9 shot

....

Well dont get banned by jumping on a swingset

A good buddy of mine back then built a plug-in that would check for client height outside of vehicles compared to ground height

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

So if you jumped too high

Aka cheaters

It'd log it

so anyone who ran on stairs got logged

that rises interesting point

are banlists now legal when GDPR comes in effect

on game servers and such

and all that data harvesting

Tfw I'm now a wheel cleaner

I work with eastern euros and a Muslim guy at car wash

@Tervy heights above like 8 units

which was 2x player height

@transience wagecucking?

so stairs etc wouldn't log

@Tervy usernames dont really apply

was it upwards moment only or did falling (From roofs) count too

@Goz3rr but oh they do if IP-adress does too

So anticheat or no anticheat?

If it protects against script kiddies its good enough

any connectable information to user (username,email,ip,.....,

Ip addresses are also not covered under GDPR

https://gdpr-info.com/dynamic-ip-addresses-personal-data/

https://eugdprcompliant.com/personal-data/

@Tervy both, but only large distances and also logged if player died at end of fall

i recently went to some boring as fuck training on GDPR and they specifically told us IP addresses were fine

Huohh imgine cleaning wheels bcuse manlit

@transience

also you could probably weasel it into this
