replied but have been reading through the progress with ioQuake3.exe (been
playing Q3 & Q3 Based Mods since release, Admin for the biggest Urban
Terror servers in Australia. (1 using ioUrbanTerror.exe & 2 more about to
be trialed with ioQuake3 +fs_game).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>K,
currently we have a player base of approximately 50 to 100 Unique players per
night across three servers, & the ban system is non existant, cheatings
everywhere, abuse is way up & there isn’t much players can do
about it. Frozen Sands ( <a href="http://www.urbanterror.net">www.urbanterror.net</a>
) have done a great job IMO bringing a stagnent game back to full throttle with
the release of Urban Terror using the ioQuake3.exe as it is now a free game
(Thanks majorly too you guys, very good work all round).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>I’m
not very good when it comes to scripting / modding etc, but I know what we’d
need to help keep ioQuake3 servers running smoothly & enable future mods to
be managed with minimal fuss. I don’t know if what I’m thinking
will be possible, but heck if anyone would know I suspect it may be one of you
guys.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

taking a Demo of another player that is using a 3<sup>rd</sup> Party Cheat,

about 2 cheats per week at the moment, aim bots, wall hacks glowing skins, all
diff IP ranges, not to mention the amount that other players find but can’t
prove whom it is as they can’t access the players IP or GUID since PB is

those familiar with Punkbuster, the old pb_plist would show player slot,
players score, players ping, players GUID, & any player could grab it, not
just admins. But for obvious reasons, players will not be shown the IP’s
of other players.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
