invisibility without a team icon...

[diamond-optic]

taken from THIS (http://www.dodplugins.net/forums/showthread.php?p=6184#post6178) thread

why ?

because with the invisible plugin that I use to catch cheaters ( caught 3 more last night ) someone on your team will rat you when they see you invisible every time.

so that would be sweet , if this could get rid of my icon.


what way is the plugin making you invis? cause the way i do it on my server it doesnt seem to show (and i asked an admin specifically if they could see my icon) and they said they couldnt... and ive never had teammates look 'at me' wierd when invis as if they see just my icon..

this is the code i use to go invis:

have fakemeta included... then my invis function calls this:
fm_set_entity_visibility(id, 0)0=invisible 1=visible

then from VEN's fakemeta util... include this stock in the plugin:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// invisibility stock (fakemeta_util)
//
stock fm_set_entity_visibility(index, visible = 1)
{
set_pev(index, pev_effects, visible == 1 ? pev(index, pev_effects) & ~EF_NODRAW : pev(index, pev_effects) | EF_NODRAW)

return 1
}you could easily make that so you dont need the stock and just straight up do what the stock is doing.. but the stock can make it easier lol...


*edit*

also like to point out.. it seems that players also can not spectate you while your using this to be invisible.. so no one will being saying "wtf how are you invisible"


... but unlike the other method.. i dont know how well this would work to 'catch hackers' since you arent being rendered at all..

I can verify that you are correct. I tested both methods on bots.

The method that Wilson's plugin uses is to modify the alpha value of the model for rendering. Because potentially the model could still be visible (if set to render only partially alpha), the client still draws its attachments (the team icons).

The nodraw flag tells the client to completely ignore all rendering of this entity. Thus, its attachments are not drawn (the team icons), and the name doesn't even come up when you look at the player.

what the...how the heck do I do this on my server ?

the plugin i have is dod_invisibilty and it leaves your icon and name but you are gone...and mouthy team mates still see you and rat you out.

*bows to dah diamond*

UUUUU BEEEEAAAT MEEEEE!!!!

[diamond-optic]

lol ive been using this method for quite a while.. surprised no one else seemed to use it..

[Wilson [29th ID]]

But have you actually caught hackers with it? I still think the hack won't pick up the player anymore if you execute that function.

[TigerMan4]

I can verify that you are correct. I tested both methods on bots..

can the bots see you ?

when I use dod_invisibility on

the bots can still see you and shoot at you.

thats how I know its a bot or a cheater , if its a bot , I shoot them , if its a real person and they dont see you , I dont shoot them , I don`t use invisibility on my server to boost my score ( what would that prove ?)

I use it to catch cheaters , but the annoying "Hey someone is invisible !" from a team mate , lets the suspected cheater know what you are doing.

how do I do it the way without a team icon ? ( remembering , I`m not that code wise to know if its allready spelled out here ) so write it out for dumbys.

invisibility without an icon for dumbies edition.

thanks

[diamond-optic]

ya i would assume that this wont work for catching 'cheaters'

but using the other method.. not once had i ever been shot at except when i walked into like an MGs bullets by accident lol

[Wilson [29th ID]]

I have caught cheaters by the original method - just the basic form of the plugin with the icon still showing to teammates.

[rebelios]

just wondering how i could use this to just remove the icon and the name

[ijack]

guess noone wants to tell us, love it when you only get so far in a thread and it stops, very helpfull

[Wilson [29th ID]]

ijack, learn some bloody respect. no one here gets paid to give support to every server admin who is too lazy to learn to code himself. we do it to help the community.

it's one thing to bump a thread, but it's another to insult us while doing it.

to answer your question, you have to hook AddToFullPack on post, then make sure the entity is a player (and connected) and set its ES_Solid to SOLID_NOT

[ijack]

Sir I apologige to you and everyone involved with these things, i MENT no disrespect in any way, haveing a very bad day and yes i shouldn't have posted that, again sorry, what you and the other do is amazing to say the least!
I really am sorry

[TigerMan4]

i love guys who shoot at invisible people and say they saw you...oh man...

but seriously , I hate the no talent assclowns on your own team that will voice spam the mic by saying "HEY WHY IS STURM INVISIBLE !"

[ijack]

All i would like is a very good, clear, and non intrusive way to find and deal with Cheaters, hackers, wall hacks, aimbots, so on and so forth, I thought that going invisibly would help in this quest, but as you have stated above, ya as long as they can see the icon, it just makes it seem your cheating yourself, so all in all and NO Disrespect to anyone, this is what I am and have been trying to do lol
NOt a good coder, not a programer like some of the people here and out there, just trying to find an easy way to do this
so IF anyone have a good idea then please post or feel free to pm me or what ever you want to do all will be greatly helpfull.
thanks for your time
also the wilson invisability plugin works great, good job Sir.

There's a fix posted for this issue somewhere, probably at the top of this thread - I've added it into the version of invisibility I run, so I know it's on here.

However, this appears to me totally ineffective at catching hackers since it doesn't just change your rendering... re finding hackers, etc: there's a good plugin around called admin_spectate_esp or something along those lines, that draws lines for you so you can watch if people are walling or always getting headshots.

Personally, I subscribe to the "if you kill me, you're hacking" school of thought.

lol :cool:

because maybe some people like us need help. And dont know how

[Mike]

Can you tell me where to put the codes and how. What is fakemeta? All i really would like to know is where to put the codes.....

[TigerMan4]

I had a guy from the 7th ID snipe me on hill classic while I was invisible the other day , I stuck my head up over the heal ( allied side ) and he shot me...the next time...I stuck my whole body over the hill and he looked at me through the scope but wouldn't shoot , but he kept looking at me.

then he left real quick.

Players are still getting caught with this plugin
