It’s not really possible to do anything else useful than taking screenshots. I can only use functions that are part of the game (it’s exactly the same as the jpeg command).

Ok, thanks for the answer.

[…]

If you come near to my house and just check how it looks like from outside, I don’t mind, feel free to do that. As you only want to find how it looks like right?:)

And such a fail comparison:)

It was an extrapolation, I meant so highlight that the ‘if you don’t have anything to hide it’s ok’ argument is invalid, it’s still a privacy invasion. I can’t be sure that a closed-source 3rd party plugin is only taking screenshots and nothing more.

Quoted from skeej

[…]

hl2.exe and steam.exe might as well be doing the same thing?

The difference is that I willingly install both Steam and TF2 on my computer, knowing the risks that I take by installing software on my machine. In addition, I have to agree to Valve’s TOS (haven’t actually read it, like 99.9% of the people, might actually say something about sending data to Valve servers). In this case, though, Anakin’s plugin is taking screenshots without my approval and violating my privacy.

Note: I’m all against cheaters and I salute every action meant to stop them. But there’s a limit.

P.O.P

Anyone can access like all your information anyway, if AnAkin actually wanted your information he could’ve spent all the time he’s been working on this plugin hacking your shit, and he could’ve had all your money by now. The plugin isn’t some shortcut for him to get your information.

Seems to me there’s a whole load of nothing been posted in this thread, nothing except some great work for no monies form AnAkIn.

Wanna be members of the ‘PC’ brigade, (that’s political correctness not personal computer), desperate to find some god awful breach of human rights ‘cos a guy makes your PC take a random screenshot of you playing a game occasionally whilst on the lookout for hackers.

Take as many screenshots off of my PC as you like, send them to whoever you want, print them out and paper the empire state building with them for all I care, just please get over yourselves with the moaning, it’s not a big deal, seriously.

The fact he posts them in a public place and not just sends therm direct to AC admins is a worthy point of discussion, but the plug-in itself is cool. Keep up the good work AnAkIn.

Wouldn’t you be able to bypass this with “jpeg_quality 1”? The screenshot quality would be so low that you wouldn’t be able to tell whether someone is hacking or not.

[…]Because there is an objectively right way to live your life.

But by this logic, if the police came to your house and said that they were going to search it, people would be fine to let them, because they “have nothing to hide”?

While I highly appreciate your AC efforts (and lol at Tarkus :D); I find your attitude towards privacy rather worrisome.

1. You uploading random screenshots to random persons on the interwebs. While the ingame .jpg function doesnt really violate my own privacy, uploading stuff from my PC without my consent does. It also screws up my upload and will result in me lagging for 3-4 seconds (yes, my upload is that shit). I also find it rather worrisome that you upload screenshots to the public – this forum – ‘just so’.

2. If you can access the jpg cmd on my client, can you access other commands as well? ‘quit’ for example, or ‘rcon kickid xy’?

So I’d appreciate some proper documentation (the plugin does this and this) and warning for connecting users (“The server you’re connecting to might/will upload screenshots of your ingame screen to the server and to AnAkIn” etc).

If the whole background of the plugin is fixed and there’s not only one private person looking at the information (plus random server admins nobody knows about – in my team everyone e.g. has / can get FTP access and therefore would be able to access the plugin’s screenshots) but rather a trustworthy team (hint: ETF2L AC collaboration), we can talk about it.

No, the quality will always be 70 with the screenshots it takes.

Reputation of those cheaters is 0. But your reputation, anakin, is equals to zero too now.

Dunno trolling or just stupid.

Yes, having that attitude is the wrong way to act in life.

dude, it’s a tf2 topic where we discuss an anti cheat plugin. Why so serious? I wasn’t the one who insulted you so chill out. Also this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205607/Shock-figures-reveal-Britain-CCTV-camera-14-people–China.html

It’s funny to hear about privacy from the guy who lives in Britain

But by this logic, if the police came to your house and said that they were going to search it, people would be fine to let them, because they “have nothing to hide”?

And yeah if you wanted to know I’m not going to tolerate that kind of behaviour from government in real life. We are discussing this particular plugin not a case with government officials breaking into your private life.

So if it uses in-game commands to do all the things, then it’s no threat to any privacy breach at all = lets require it on all official games of ETF2L, in addition, it doesn’t require SM, it can be used with TFTrue = it won’t fuck anything up as well.

As much as I like the idea – it’s going to catch a lot of cheaters out.

But just the simple fact that there was no agreement, which makes me (among many others) rather suspicious of the intentions. You’re claiming it’s only for TF2, and will only work that way, but how could we know for certain?

I’ve noticed that it’s also taking screenshots of in game chat, and console messages. So if there’s any confidential information – such as passwords (server, rcon or any others) then chances are, you can find them fairly simply.
