What the *beep* is kik_espclass? Good job sherlock!

[BOWDOWN]

Thanks CoCo to inform us about this case. I have to add that Downtempo is not officialy a part of Prime-squadron community (he is not a member) but he s the part of our clan war team psc, he joined the team because his good acknowledge, etc ... Anyway, we will do our best to make the situation clear and will inform u about the final issue.

Thx again

[warren-the-ape]

They do match Lisa (last 8 digits from yawn & the pbbans guid), and his forum IP also matches exactly.

Messed around with hacks or downloaded configs, who knows.. only tempo himself probably.

[lis Profile Website]

yep i saw it, hence deleted post.

moviemaking config imo. but tough shit i guess.

EDIT: guess i got confused because of the missing red flag on the yawn page. still wondering about that actually...

[Downtempo Profile]

Hey u really got me confused for a while! but solved the 'thing', took a hour tho.
+ it was me on the server back then. And got kicked by pb after 1min playing at B8. Remeber I said hey to karlotto, then changed nick to now, and gone to play. Didnt give a note for the kick, cause the reason was unknown for me. And dindnt try to reconnect.

[Wastl Profile]

What exactly does 'solved' mean in this case?

[Downtempo Profile]

First we tried to google this unknown "kik_espclass", didnt find clear answers. Then my another mate asked me to check my cfgs if I had that there. I was sure I didnt got that on my normal config, cause I had done them by myself. So I had been doing my new movie at last weekend. Asked for HQ movieconfs from a another clanmate called tapsa (from T4Ce). This guy has done many cheatbust.avi's, and knows quite much about movie making and compressing. Later on today when I heard about this and found those kik_commands from my movie.cfg, I gone to ask about them from tapsa (cause he sent me the cfg). He was also confused first but then remembered that he had been doing a bust vid about player called "noct" and forgot the cmds there to movieconfig. He was using "ets"(I understand it as making movie client or a normal multihack). Well he used a wallhack for the busted.avi anyways. And what I have understood, this kik_espclass is skinhack or those names over your head you can use with some hacks, or at waching a demo. I have really been thinking that the game itself blocks those cvars u CANT use. So you do not need to mind about them.
Well anyways. I wanted a cfg for HD resolution ETmovie. So I got one. I started with movie on friday or saturday~. Well ofc closed the game normally, and on another day gone to play a bit. Then had the movie.cfg under there execed ofc. gone to serv, execed my normal cfgs and gone to play. -> got kicked after a min. -> Warswarswars.

bind 9 exec movie-echo.cfg

And CB wont ban about these kind of #9001 violations, cause that doesnt mean you cheat.
I was talking with PBBANS admin "Benway" on irc. He knew the hack those commads are connected. Was some old, non privatehack. The name is this "ets" I understood.
some lines:

[11:06] <Benway> this is an old hack
[11:07] <Benway> Jan 12th 2007
[11:07] <Benway> and not private exactly
-
[11:02] <Benway> i know PS exchanges theyr hack cvars via forum
[11:02] <dwntempo> Im not from PS
-

Oh god, the knowledge folks, the knowledge. Happy?

[BOWDOWN]

[11:02] <Benway> i know PS exchanges theyr hack cvars via forum
[11:02] <dwntempo> Im not from PS

What the hell, what he mean by this?

Edit : Thx apy and lisa for ur explinations, it just make me laugh how much people can be close minded sometimes.

Dont understand what this have to do with your ban. Trying to switch the subject?

Anyway Temp is perm banned on Bunker 8 untill pb lifts his ban (which i doubt they will)

LoL, I remeber first time he came on Bunker 8 wearing a |NETCODERS| tag, should have perm banned him immediately

[warren-the-ape]

What the hell, what he mean by this?

He means that he can only see in black and white, unlike the rest of the people who see in full colour

Always nice when people rip something completely out of its context, especially when its an admin from a leading anti-cheat system..

Offtopic:
About a year ago, when we were still streaming to pbbans, a guy who was banned at i believe PS1, opened a topic. He was banned for a cvar belonging to, i thought crushr or some other crap.

He posted his config and adviced him to clear his config, without an unban of course (this wouldnt even be possible when streaming).

But apparently we were not allowed to allow him to post his config with cheat cvars on our forum from the big bosses (you still get it? )

It looks like a scene from Harry Potter;
"We do not speak his name! He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"

Or maybe this quote would be more appropriate;
"I do not ask for pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West."

Well no harm no foul, we only need the bans from their system, thats all

[11:02] <Benway> i know PS exchanges theyr hack cvars via forum
[11:02] <dwntempo> Im not from PS

What the hell, what he mean by this?

this is probably a reference to the incident when we lost our pbbans streaming account because there was an active topic on this forum where a player with a cvar kick was given advice about how to clean his config/evade his pbban. or something like that (maybe warren can correct me).

anyway, since we don't "exchange hack cvars via forum", this comment above can't be anything more than an unqualified and overblown remark on the side (it's a private chat log remember). kinda lame imo... best ignore.

@temp - i don't quite see why those two lines needed to be posted here as it's got nothing to do with your pbkick. maybe it's good to let us know how they think about PS, but adding more fuel to the fire probably isnt particularly appropriate at this point.

@coco - i guess your ban is fine and acceptable, i would do the same on a pub. since his explanation about this cvar is unverifiable (no matter how persuasive it is in this case), this is where the line needs to be drawn. about the netcoders tag (fuel to the fire pt. 2 ), this was obviously some kinda (silly, childish, stupid) joke. nothing more to add. thanks again for informing us

@HA's - the cvar kick was a #9001 violation and is not as such considered a cheat/hack violation and only added to the MBL if it's hack-related (which in this case it is). i know we got a 0-tolerance policy even for hack-related #9001 cvar kicks, since they represent traces of prior hacks and so i would also suggest to ban the affected pbguid from all PS servers like we always do. this is our policy and we must stick to it.

however - just to let you know where i stand - i'm not inclined to boot tempo from psc, since the etpro community will not bust him for this cvar violation, yawn doesn't red flag these violations and clanbase will most likely not suspend him for this. so as long as his etpro guid is considered clean by the relevant organizations that monitor this i see no need to make any changes. since the affected guid is reasonably prominent and also used in EC level ET (besides our low-level psc) the watchdogs will undoubtedly look into it. in the case of etpro/psc i will take #cheatbusters.et and clanbase.com as a guideline and most certainly NOT pbbans.com.

of course, since psc is a part of PS you might want to suggest otherwise via AF. and i will of course adhere to and agree with the outcome of an AF decision.

right, it's been a crazy few days. ET break coming up.

EDIT: oops didnt see yer post warren

EDIT2: btw, if you'd like to see how those cvars are used in moviemaking, here's one of those infamous "busted.avi" vids.

Actually I didnt mean anything by it. Just heard that from pbbans admin. Didnt knew that before. Maybe he ment something with it, I dont really care. Just that if you were interested. + this benway also said it is no privhack, so it cant be from netcoders. They only sell hack if Im right. + clearly no cheats. Can continue with this if someone want's to get some knowledge.
Drama, and sad.
