sv_consistency 1

[Ikesik]

I have been involved in the anti-cheat community for a long time and one thing that really excites me about INS currently is that there are no REAL hacks for the game. In doing some looking around, the most I could find was some no recoil and no spread hacks. Additionally there are some no smoke, ESP and hacked models.

That being said, I just wanted to make a recommendation that we set the server cvar sv_consistency to 1. Doing this will force players to have the same models, maps and other texture files as the server. This will prevent players from say, having neon red models which make it really easy to see a player. Or from having hacked map files that will allow them to see thru walls.

It will not stop the use of no recoil/spread hacks, but might go a long way toward making sure the servers provide a fair environment for all. I bring this up after hear a player talk about having some custom models and that struck me as bad because while his were only to change appearance in a fair way, other more nefarious players could use some less that fair models. Just a thought

This might be already implemented in the game, not sure yet though. A couple weeks ago someone posted a thread of new gun models and than when the new update came out the people that had the custom gun models couldn't play and had to reinstall the game. Could of been an error. But I defiantly agree with this though.

the servers are already set to where you cant use any optics on non optic weapons and no optics on optic weapons , read the patch notes from 2.X update

this is somewhat implemented with the update, it keeps you from using any mods to weapons sights, and translucent mags, but actual models are still able to be used, i use a g36c for my m4 and it works fine.

I personally like the idea, and also don like it because i do like my g36c, but it will help keep the game more fair

I think consistency is a must, to keep the battlefield level. 1 vote aye!

I meant to include this, but to give an idea of exactly what Im talking about, http://wiki.counter-hack.net/halflife

Most of the things on that page are or could be issues for Insurgency. As the game is relatively new and not as popular yet as some of the others out there, it will no doubt take a while for cheat coders to come out in force for this game. But you can see already the beginnings of the progression with the things I mentioned before.

Your right Ike, the more popular it is, the more likely it is for hackers to make hacks. It's a good thing that the people that made INS are already getting a head start in implementing ways to get rid of hacks. But in the end it will be up to server admins to get rid of the hackers that will eventually crack the code.
