I think it's possible to write a program to do this, using the admin netcode documentation.

It's not working anymore. Fix plskthxbai

I took it down for now, I'm turning it into an actual standalone program. More on that coming soon, and yeah, I'm going to call it: "Oh No You Don't" back later with some pics

Wow, this guy really is a dipshit. ^ this here proves my point. Could a mod please delete this thread

And the sad thing is, I'm guessing he's going to use PunkBuster.

Trying to ride on their tail? The real PunkBuster is a piece of shit. I just like the name. If they want to send me a cease and desist letter, fine

sue me, I don't give a shit. MTA is a small public mod for a huge game, and PB is even smaller (I have no idea how many people even use it) blah... I'm not renaming it, I like the name...whatever readme coming soon, when I can be arsed just use the readme for 1.3 (i lost it, if anyone has it please post it here)

-Removed- Please delete

My guess is that connecting through the dll rather than mIRC is going to make it lag even more...

1.3 released: http://xyz-host.com/pb/PunkBuster1.3.zip Please upgrade if you have a lower version, this fixes a major annoying bug in the health hack detection.

No, why? edit: What the hell is it, lol?

1.2 has been released and incorporates many new ideas and features. See the first post for more information. Hopefully we can bring a stop to the annoying little kids who think it's cool to download hacks and abuse the game.

Okay, I'll redo the post in a sec Thanks for the ideas, and yeah maybe that is a better idea Working on 1.2 now

lol PunkCatcher is hilarious, it can be owned in one packet I might call it PunkRaper. What do you guys reckon? btw 1.2 release coming up soon

Thanks everyone If you still want it, it's avaliable at http://fayte.digiwire.org/pb/PunkBuster-1.1.zip Feel free to refine it or whatever. However they are right, it's not perfect and is prone to kicking people for no good reason, but it _does_ kick 99% of cheaters (and some bots because they teleport across the map in less than a second). I've scripted/coded for a long time (mirc/php/html/vb/jscript), just never really done anything with it. It would be nice to join a team, but I think most teams could find better than me besides the languages I know are kinda useless for making games/cheat detection (and yes mirc does eat CPU like Rick Waller in a chinese place unfortunately). I wish there was a way to compile mirc scripts or something im my humble opinion mIRC is the best language there is Slightly off topic - I am trying to work on an MTA script handler on php (bit like mta:ma, but runnable on linux and more reliable - sorry aeron, don't start on me again). I asked the mta team for support. someone from the team (I cant remember) told me to write it up and email them. So I did, but guess what, no response. Ah well, I'm doing it anyway. look out for that soon

Aeron, why don't you do it then, if you're so amazingly wonderful? It's working well on the server I have it on. Leave cheater detection to the MTA Team? Don't make me laugh! How many cheaters do we have, using SCM mods and whatever else? A hell of a lot. Someone else has to do it if they won't. At least I was trying to do something proactive about it, but if the community don't want to hear about it, then that's too bad.

Okay, I've taken it down. Thanks for the support and encouragement

Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed in version 1.1 - now the script will automatically stop all the detection timers when MTA:mA connects, to fix this problem. The fact is, it solves more problems than it creates, so I think it's a must-have for server owners with cheater problems. http://fayte.digiwire.org/pb/PunkBuster-1.1.zip

Well it's actually worked amazingly well on the 2 servers I have tested it on...the health check is automatic - as soon as you spawn for the first time, it runs. Jetpacking, again it is set to a height which is almost impossible to reach without the use of hacks. Flying cars - it ignores all helicopters, and I have never seen MTA mess up with cars All in all it works fine where I've tested it, in quite a crowded server, and then in a less crowded server. However, jumping out of helicopters that are quite high up, that will probably kick you. For the next version hopefully I can take the Z axis out, so that up/down movement is ignored.

PunkBuster 1.3 has been released, grab it from: http://xyz-host.com/pb/PunkBuster1.3.zip Please upgrade if you have a lower version. 1.3 contains a fix for a major annoying bug concerning the health hack detection. Please take time to read the readme, I will not explain it all here, but basically, many new commands and features are now added and with the advice from many people in the community I have remodelled the script and hopefully now it will be a lot of use to server admins. For those who don't know- PunkBuster is a cheat/hack detection script for MTA:mA:GRS which stops 99% of MTA cheaters, however it has been known to kick innocent people in some circumstances. (However, this can now be turned off, see the readme for more info.) It is probably the best publically avaliable cheat prevention script out there at the moment.
