[quake3] Re: non-cheatable game

[Chris Bunting]

Hello,

There are 2 Quake 3 related games that I know about that are based on ioquake3.

http://www.urbanterror.net/news.php Urban Terror has anti-cheating (BattleEye) incorporated into it and it's based on ioquake3..

How exactly is this not doable?

Games like Urban Terror from what I understand, must release the source code as per the GPL from ID Software but there is no source available on their site so I'm guessing UT paid the $10,000 for the private license to offer this free game?

    looks interesting, sounds interesting, and tastes interesting. but it is not doable

  1) read GPL ( it doesnt allow closed source sauce )
  2) it is easy to fool cheat protection even if it is closed source ( see bankbuster )
  3) ioquake3 is open source

  (1) & (2) & (3) implies you need to stop
