Tried BeetlesMod out a few weeks ago before our server had to shut down. It worked pretty darn well for anticheat purposes. (I realize that's probably not going to get peoples' anticheat juices flowing as much as VAC2 going into public beta, but hey, every little gun pointed at the bad guys helps).



You'd be amazed how many people were having a field day with hacks until they ran up against BeetlesMod, even some people in clans scrimming us. I predict quite a bloodletting, if some form of unannounced VAC2 was silently detecting these people this whole time... boy, wouldn't that be nice to read about...

Never tried beetle fart tbh.

Scanner, do us all a favor and keep adminmod or similiar plug-ins off servers you use for matches or scrims. For pubs it's alright, but during a scrim/match, it's just annoying and horrible.

I still don't understand why we have to have these "mods". Why isn't something as simple as admin capability built into Steam?

So true, at least 50 people have been banned from my pub thanks to Beetles hack detection (4 strikes and you're out).

To be fair, you can configure beetlesmod to be completely invisible. While I appreciate it's very annoying to scrim people who have adverts and all kinds of crap running, the hack detection is worthwhile. That said per CAL's plugin (no other mods should run at the same time), I never use anything but rcon on our private.

Rcon is built in. Beyond that I doubt Valve could ever satisfy all the needs and requests for server admin's. If you look at everything Nemod, Manimod, Beetlesmod and others provide, they customize the game beyond anything Valve would/should want to implement.

Battlefield 2 has an innate vote-kick support for any user.



Not ALL of the features provided by admin mod should have to be provided by a mod.

[Equalizer!]

You'd think the news poster would describe what the mod is about for those who havn't heard of it before.



News is very lacking around here now, I think that shows the way CS is not really as popular with CS: Source and CZ splitting the community and all.

[Unknown Soldier]

Personally, I think Valve should be making an official add-on with a lot of these features as an optional install for their games.
