Most of the hitscan (point-and-frag) guns in Nexuiz have spread. Also, as i said they should be able to hit perfectly but they do not. Now the good news, aimhacks can usually be spotted very easily if you spectate. Programs like punkbuster will only hog your system while searching for known hacks, they can not find UNKNOWN hacks and a few month ago there was a big uproar as someone found a way to get MANY (iirc tenthousends) people banned via punkbuster though they did not cheat at all :-). Some games, companies TRY to run programs to find KNOWN aimhacks but thats a arms race and can only be lost. First the bad news, in theory there is nothing to REALLY stop them. Which leaves us with aimhacks or autoshoot hacks. Their experience is good enough to make this tactic work very well. However notice that good players tend to do 'prediction shots' aka shoot were they think someone might be or go to. One can also usually notice a wallhack when spectating as the user of such hacks tends to aim at players behind walls. (Unless someone changes the default settings to save SERVER cpu power). This means wallhacks are USELESS in Nexuiz, nothing to cheat here. So even if someone WOULD use a wallhack and make walls transparent there would be nothing to see. Nexuiz in turn only sends info about players and item only if you could possibly see them. Basicly most games tell the client the position of all other players and items and when using a hack to make walls transparent you can see those players and items in the whole map. Wallhacks are also impossible with the default settings because Nexuiz uses a clever anti-wallhack.
OPENAREA NEXUIZ UPDATE
If there are still bugs in Nexuiz the developers should be told about! For the fun of it, due to network changes a certain Nexuiz version acted as speedhack on certain older nexuiz servers, but again, thats all fixed now and also helped to get server admins to update :-) So, nothing to cheat here. Speedhacks usually point to some bugs in Nexuiz and while there were such bugs in the past they should all be fixed now, which should make speedhacking impossible. In theory it might be possible to hack a server but thats totally unheard off. Being able to change health/armor/weapons would require a custom setup (recompiled) server, so if you play on the 'well-known' servers you should be fine. So if you suspect people to be unkillable this usually just means they collect lots of health/armor and as you can collect them almost without limit it can be hard to kill someone really stacked. Stuff like health, armor, weapons you posses are TOTALY in control of the server and can't be changed by any client. To add some technical stuff to this emotional matter:īasicly only a few cheats are possible: auto-aiming (which aims for you and SHOULD be able to hit perfectly), wallhacks (which allows you to see through walls) and speedhacks (which allow you to run faster).
