Misconceptions about cheat features and the source engine

I originally commented this on "https://www.reddit.com/r/VACsucks/comments/o4q5h9/esea_lol/" which is what I am referencing when talking about gameplay in this post.

I wanted to make this post because I often find comments/users talking about silent aim, backtracking and other cheating methods when watching a clip. I usually lurk here, but seeing people claim a player is using silent aim on esea baffled me enough to want to explain why thats so ridiculous. Below I will be explaining lag compensation, backtracking and other information about this original clip. This is all important to read and know, because the stronger of a grasp you have on the source engine, the easier it will be to spot and call out cheaters. It's also vital information when reviewing overwatch cases, or even posting cheating clips here of suspected cheaters.

Kills in clips like above might look off because we arent viewing the demo from the players real perspective. Based on your ping, you will be seeing a certain amount of ticks/milliseconds in the past. Each players ping is different when on the server, so we are all viewing different perspectives. I'll go into the effect of having higher or lower ping when spectating a player. This is all in milliseconds so the differences can be massive or negligible.

The best way to image this is to imagine an enemy peeking from around a corner. In this scenario, we have 5 ping, the person we are spectating has 100 ping. When your ping is lower than the player you are spectating: the enemy will appear on your screen before the person you are spectating sees them. Once they move their mouse to fire at them, they will be aiming behind them on your screen. This player is viewing the enemy's position 95 milliseconds (100 ping) in the past from where they are relative to you and the server. This leads to kills that can look like silent aim, as from your perspective their crosshair is clearly several inches away from the enemies head and yet they still get the kill. Although, as I said; to the player you are spectating, it looks completely correct to them.

When your ping is higher than the player you are spectating: the enemy will appear on their screen before you can see them. These can lead to suspicious kills that look like prefires and is the reverse situation of the paragraph above.

Unless you have the same ping and packet loss on a very stable server, pla

About the Cheat Engine and this SubReddit

I'll include Plarium's long statement down below but here is the TL;DR version. There is a tool called Cheat Engine that has been around for a long time that would speed up animations that lets you play Raid faster. In the past few days, BGE and StewGaming released videos on the topic. Plarium made released a statement saying that use of this tool is cheating. It appears that the two of them have been suspended from the content creator program for a month.

On this subreddit, we will allow discussion about the situation in general. What will not be allowed is discussion of how to install and use the tool as it is against our rules. I know I mentioned the actual name of the tool but Plarium did in their statement as well.

Also, if you do not read the full statement, auto clickers (BlueStacks, OMGClick, RSL Helper, etc) are fine. Plarium has said using Cheat Engine is a bannable offense.

Plarium's Statement:

Now cutting to the chase - there is one hot subject discussions around which have been rampant in the community for the past several days. Cheat engine - a third-party program that speeds up game-play and allows unfair progression for those who use it. So here is our stance. The Rules of conduct paragraph of our Terms of Agreement clearly states that utilizing such tools in our games is strictly prohibited. It's as simple as that. However, things are not that simple in terms of applying measures for violating this rule. The problem lies in finding those that take advantage of such tools. For a long time, we have had a special tool that detects unrealistically short battles. When those are spotted a player may receive battle errors followed by an account ban. The problem is that we can't yet make this tool as efficient and aggressive as it should be because this may potentially affect the players that have tuned their teams to be very quick and effective in a fair way, without using any additional programs. Right now, the cheat-detection tool is in development, we don't want to break the learning algorithms so there is no manual intrusion in this area

However, the important thing to remember is that the cheat-detection tool may react some time after the cheat engine was used. We will keep improving the tool to make sure that unfair advantage of some people over others is eliminated. It all comes down to this - using cheat-engine is prohibited in our game and will result in proper measures. Now we also want to stress that auto-cl

Need some Cheat Engine help

Right, like the title says. I'm trying to remake an orc from SoM in SoW, but the snag that I've run into is that his name won't change. No matter what. His title will, even though it's a title that doesn't appear in SoW, but his name just flat refuses to change no matter what I do. Is there a hidden option in cheat engine, or is changing their names just straight up impossible?

I'd also appreciate some help with his skin color, if possible. His current color is a weird grey and it needs to be a deep gray-green, almost blue. The body color value doesn't make any sense to me off the bat; I don't know what value to change it to for the color I want because I have to enter the value manually, not select one and see what's what.

Getting banned using Cheat engine safely for the 5th time

Ok so

  1. I spawned in everything using item gib
  2. Did not spawn things I can’t spawn in the game
  3. Did not spawn any shards
  4. Did not spawn boss souls
  5. Upgraded my weapon to +10 through blacksmith not instantly spawning one at the start of the game
  6. Getting souls through great souls of a champion item gib spawn
  7. Speed run the game, no accessing all non fires

Still got banned....

I also don’t think it’s because I may be pressing something by accident cause I’ve already been banned 4 times before this. Meaning this time I tried my best to focus on what I’m doing and got banned for the 5th time.

How to change your name using Cheat Engine

I'm using Kiddions so I don't have a name spoofer, and I was always annoyed by how you can only change your name on social club once a year so I came up with this, and yes before you ask, other people will see your new name(in game that is, your social club profile name won't change)

  1. Download Cheat Engine from cheatengine.org
  2. Start up a solo session(it doesn't really matter which but on solo you won't have to worry about getting booted for AFKing)
  3. Open Cheat Engine, click the top left icon and select GTA
  4. Set Value Type to String
  5. Type in your current name and press First Scan
  6. Select all the addresses that pop up(CTRL+A)
  7. Unselect all the addresses that start with socialclub(CTRL+Left click)
  8. Press the red arrow, select all the adresses at the bottom, right click on them, Change Record, Value
  9. Type in your new name.

IMPORTANT:

-You can type in literally anything but keep in mind that symbols, dots, spaces, and names under 6(or over 16) characters will make other players(let alone rockstar admins)assume you're a modder

-If you get booted to single player you don't have to do it again, the name will stick

-You would have to do it again if you quit the game completely

-If you want to change your name again to something else you will have to restart the game. If you do it again without restarting, your game will most likely crash.

Cheat Engine for BlueStacks part 2 Electric Boogaloo

Hi, I'm trying to use Cheat Engine on Bluestacks. I've tried every application I can (Including HD Player both with and without Read/Write Process Memory enabled). I can't scan Physical Memory because my computer crashes whenever I try (Blue screen :( )

I cannot slow down or speed up anything in Blue Stacks while I'm doing this and I am using the most recent version of Cheat Engine. I'm trying this on Stick War: Legacy which should work with Cheat Engine. This video is from March 28, 2021 and I've recreated everything in the video to no avail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSIzG8JMgYg&t=129s

Idea: Using cheat engine to detect cheaters.

So I've never played Trackmania2020 so until about 30 minutes ago I didn't know that the replay files were encrypted or obfuscated. That got me thinking, the values still need to be read to use the in-game replay, so why can't we view the values using cheat engine?

So here's an image of an early attempt I did in roughly 10 minutes using a replay with known inputs (ex. hard left, hard right), and it seems that I'm on to something? It feels too convent that the left/right values I'm testing with were whittled down so quickly from the 1.6 million original variables (scanned from All).

I'm sure there are other people out there more capable than I am but I thought it good to float the idea.

Cheat Engine Car selling glitch online

This is more of a cheat rather than glitch So you buy any car online (the price doesn’t matter) When you get the car go to LS Customs and on the way to LS Customs I would recommend you to damage it just a little bit so the sell price of the car changes. When you get to LS Customs dont repair the car, go to the sell option. Now you type that value into Cheat engine and press First scan. After the scan you should get a lot of adresses on the left side in cheat engine. Then go back to GTA and repair the car, go to the sell option again and then type that number into cheat engine and click Next scan. After that you should get 20 adresses on the left side. Click on any of those adresses and press Ctrl+A and then the red arrow that points to the bottom right corner. After that the adresses should appear on the bottom section of Cheat Engine. Click on any of those adresses again and press Ctrl+A again. Then right click any of those adresses and go to Change Record->Value And then change the value to any amount of cash you want. I would suggest you not to go overboard with the value just in case. I personally like to go under 100 million. Press enter, go back to GTA and sell the vehicle.

Hope it helps!
