HradBa history


=== v206, 2004-10-26 21:00 gmt ===
- updated online
- added new detection #151 and #152 for Direct3D altering ( new detection methods that works against the new VcHook version )
Thanks to Gaming Soldiers Australia clan, especially to {GSA}Aussie Dave for reporting on and providing us with the cheat
- blocked "wolf ears" sound cheat

=== v204, 2004-06-22 16:30 gmt ===
- updated online
- added new detection #150 for Direct3D altering


=== v203, 2004-06-17 9:15gmt ===
- updated online
- added detection #149 for Direct3D altering ( detects VcHook, 3D Analyzer and any other cheat that would alter d3d rendering )


=== v202, 2004-01-25 ===
- part of Vietcong and FistAlpha patch v1.60
- support for both Vietcong v1.60 and FistAlpha v1.60
- reprogrammed flying and super jump detections, cheat detections #3,#26 and #27 are disabled now, there are new detections #147 and #148
- fixed Spectators false detection #141


=== v201 ===
- several testing versions for beta testing, not available for public


=== v200, 2004-01-02 15:30gmt ===
- part of Vietcong FistAlpha installation
- the same functionality as v112


=== v117, 2004-01-02 15:30gmt ===
- updated online
- fixed one HradBa exception ( the server continues to run, but HradBa was disabled because of internal error )
- new detection #146 - it happens when there is #130 ( speedhack ) detected 5 times in a short time ( a few minutes ). When #146 is detected, player is kicked out from the game, so speedhackers will no more disturb in the game.
- #130 - detections and 'ignore' messages are written into special log ( hradba\cheat130info.txt ), to make hblog.txt better readable
- #128 - description improved - added info some viruses can cause this detection ( reported by several players )


=== v116, 2003-12-22 11:15gmt ===
- updated online
- fixed server crashing ( mostly seen during map changing but could happen during normal gameplay too)
- #130 - improved - made less sensitive for speedhacks ( some players have problem with false detections), made more sensitive for slowhacks ( some undetected cheaters appeared)
- #133 - fixed false detection in TT mode
- #141 - false detectin fixed

=== v115, 2003-12-19 10:10gmt ===
- updated online
- #130 ( speedhack detection) is enabled. There should be no false detections now.
- Fixed problem with false #133 detections in Bahnar and Ambush maps
- Improved #27 ( Flying detection) to eliminate false detections
- Added possibility to set data flow limit (bytes per second) for HradBa PureServer tests. HradBa v114 can cause lag sometimes, this new limit can make PureServer tests running longer, so cheating players will be able to be in the game for some time ( max is 2 or 3 minutes on lowest settings), but HradBa shouldn't cause in-game lag anymore. Please check ServerDataFlowMax in hb.ini file
- Added support for HradBa readme ( yes, this file :-) )

=== v114, 2003-11-21 17:36gmt ===
- updated online
- #26 - disabled because false detections, we will investigate it more and enable it later

=== v112, 2003-11-21 ===
- part of Vietcong patch v1.41
- #128 - explanation is written to the console
- #130 - is ignored, server logs it to find false detections, we will enable it again when it's fixed
- #132 - improved timeout detection
- #133 - more info is written into hblog.txt to help us to find possible false detections
- hbconnect.txt logs all attemps to connect to the server including client IP adress
- hblog.txt is not cleared when HradBa starts, so the whole history is there

=== v100, 2003-11-14 ===
- part of Vietcong patch v1.40
