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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

Dunno trolling or just stupid.

good stuff coming up soon

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.
