I'm having this problem as well. The mutator is in the current mutator list (although after restarting the server I have to do this again) and is in the default voteconfig list.
The option to force 32 bit is not there, while the old ROmutator is disabled.
I have set the Consequence for hacks to advertise, and after each mapchange it's back to log.
Furthermore, I set the projection forcer to off (unchecked) and the shadowforcer is checked. I still see those shodows through the walls and sandbags.
I hope this helps in troubleshooting. ATM we think the benefits outweigh the setbacks, but here's to hoping this program will evolve.

Thanks anyway,

Bando

RE: Having to re-enable:

Did you add it as a mutator in the Default/VoteConfig section?
Code:
4. Open webadmin
   5. Add the mutator in the current mutator list.
   6. Add the mutator under Default->VoteConfig.

Yes i did all that, but i figured it out myself, you have to have voting enabled on the server (which i didn't) for the settings to persist, all except the log/advertise setting, which stays at log, no matter what i change it to.

Yes I have done this , every time I restart the server I have to enable the mutator again . Is there a way to turn it on and leave it on ,also is there a way to advertise and kick the offender . What I want it to do is advertise the hacker then kick them so that all the players will know why the player was kicked .

Add this to the start of your commandline (after ROEngine.ROTeamGame? ):
Mutator=Exterminator?

You need to have voting enabled for it to persist.
I couldn't get advertise to work, it always went back to log.

Ok Floyd I knew I had skipped a step got it now . The only problem I still have is that it keeps going back to log instead of advertise . I really need to get this working right as =TaT= is hosting a Danzig Tourney in May . Any ideas as to how to fix this problem would be welcome . Oh I am already getting a lot of *****ing about using this Mod , I think it maybe scaring a few folks . :D

if you want to see drama about this mutator you should check the rolader forums :S
The consequence setting is bugged as it seems...

Yeah I can just guess , I am hearing the same from ROleague guys . I getting all kinds of complaints about it not working , it might give false hack reports thing of that nature . I personally think some peeps are just scared they might have to tun off their hacks and play on skill . :eek:

i just don't get why there are people who hate it so much.....a few bugs but the good outweighs the bad. once en4cer starts updating the league servers with it, i'm sure he'll be in here if he needs some assistance.

Again I think are just scared of it Bud , especially if they are running a crosshair or an aimbot . We all know a couple of players who are just alittlle to good , who make hipshots across the map consistently . These are probably the ones who will complain the loudest because they don't want to be found out .:cool:

yep. thing is most of the problems are people using exploits, not outside hack programs as it is my understand that there aren't any that still exist that haven't been patched but then again.....crazy people can do crazy things just to win a video game.....

btw, worluk you might be able to help me with this question....is there a bug that allows people to be fire while sprinting?? or mybe that is just part of the animation.....just noticed some people recently who looked like they were running in full sprint right at you with their weapons aimed at the ground, yet they were shooting at you????

this thread certainly is going in the wrong direction.
Knowing whom you found guilty of cheating in the past, i have to say i have my doubts if you can decently tell who is and who is not.

The amount of actual cheating in the sense of external programs or dll injection is incredible small compared to other games. Actually i havent seen one(!) person i would actually suspect cheating during Ostfront (beside no-recoiling which was fixed by my AntiBS and shortly after by Tripwire).

Accidently using an exploit cause a movement combination has become so familar to your that you sometimes do it a tad too fast and causing some weird behaviour is also nothing that is handing a big advantage.

Getting so used to those twitchy movements and knowing that they give you an advantage (and even considering skill) is the other side, and thats what the mutator fixes. The prevention of a certain kind of cheats is a little addon I included since i was made aware of it.

So, in the end, use it, or use it not, but not everyone killing you leaving you with "how tf did he do that?" is cheating/exploiting.


PS: the weapon aiming at the ground is one of many inconsistencies between 3rd and 1st person.

I certainly don't think all are cheating when I get killed by an incredible shot . It is just when the same guy hips me from across the map consistently that I begin to wonder . Mainly what we are talking about here is guys complaining about the anti exploit mod that we start to think "they doth protest to much" . An yes we got off on a tangent it happens some time .:D
Oh worluk are you going to update this mod to fix the bugs in it . I really would like the advertise function to work . :)
