Topic: Bot-User detection log!

Dear Teeworlds-Community,

After a permission from Lanta, I wanna open this topic to help the entire Teeworlds Community to detect cheaters and bot user.
Here we'll take a list of all people detected.
Just one rule, for submit a player's name (or his IP) to this list you must have proof.
Let's start... we can't have an empty list. So I start with a bot-user.
His name is: Kirk and his brother Blacky (which I haven't a proof, but he got the same conspicuous skill like Kirk).
There are many facts, why I noticed that this player use a bot. From time to time, Me and some other players played against them in a 3on3 and won.
Hm, even we won, their hooks were very strong. At first we thought, they just have luck, but then we play more and more matches against them and it doesn't seems so that they have just luck. They even won against the Top Clans: Qi, iB or Z. I don't want to say that all players in eQ use a bot, but these 2 players get strong hook like good players in the Vanilla scene.
He is a well-known player, but we managed to get him into our trap.
Download and see this awesome demo recording to discover that he can still cheat and maybe he still use to cheat also in vanilla: https://downloads.teeworlds.com/solidfi … 1 101.demo   it starts at 2:44.

It's really sad to say, but that's the truth.
This is only one of the many cheaters all around this game. There are simple aimbotters or hooker, but you can always detect them in some way. That's the simplest big_smile.
Sorry, Kirk, but you didn't hear to me. Cheaters must be detect and maybe be banned.

So if you think that Lanta is a traitor. You are RIGHT! big_smile
No, no. He is a really good guy. He is the only one, who started really good projects. At first FunWar,  then organised ESL Cups and the awesome place in the GamesCon etc. He did very good projects and just want the best for the TeeWorlds Community.
And he doesn't want to represent teeworlds in the GamesCon with these bot-users out there.
Maybe the Developers will make something against that, hm, I know you are all busy. BUT you must do something against these cheaters otherwise many players will leave this game and maybe the Teeworlds Community will go down.

I hope you understand that what I and Lanta did.

Now, I can't say he's the only one in his team with cheats, but at the moment we have no more proof. We only know facts, and you are free to discuss your experience about that.

And last but not least:

HAPPY EASTER!

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Maybe Kirk and his people can now admit that they used bots in clanwars versus Qi and that they only won because of cheating. Anyway we won them even when they used bots and that is kinda embarrasing. You can't deny it now, we all know it, but if you admit it you can show that you are no cowards.


Please Devs, so something against botters and also about the fact that 850 out of 900 servers are running mods!

Re: Bot-User detection log!

lol they never cheats. i know them very well, but whats with 6.0 there we can test it? Or give them a special client?

Programming is similar to sex. If you make a mistake, you have to support it for the rest of your life.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Not really agree with your methods.
1) Doesn't make a proof since it can be a faker.
2) He just said he will use a bot doest mean he actualy will
3) Stop trolling about my team
4) Its instagib who cares ?

Now i don't say he is not cheating thats not my problem. I'm just saying the way you discovered it is so sad.


"BUT you must do something against these cheaters otherwise many players will leave this game and maybe the Teeworlds Community will go down."
Talking about community with people you can't trust ?
(again i don't say he is not cheating just talking about the way you know it)

Developper can't do anything against cheat, well at least they won't do. They don't have enough time to spend on teeworlds they won't waste it for an impossible task.

Since the game is free you can't ban cheaters with dynamic ip ect... Won't prevent them to come back on an other nick.

Cheating has been discuss many times, its troll.

Finnaly you could take this idea back when teeworlds will have account linked to names. Then you could do a nick banlist from demos, but gameplay demos.
Watched by some tools or whatever to make sure he is really cheating.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

1) A Faker? Lanta wrote with him in ICQ that he should come.

2) Before we made this demo, he use a bot too. Lanta and him played a match against a clan. At the middle of the game, he left for change a client. Like in the demo.

3) I don' troll about your team. But we all know that he use a bot, so I want to make a proof.

4) It does't matter if it's instagib or vanilla. He cheats! And everyone don't like those cheaters.

Hm, I know it's a bad way to proof that this player use a bot. But, well, I gave him so many chances to play without a bot, but he didn't use this chance. So I must be strict.

And I know that the Developers can't make anything against them, but someone must fight against these bot-users. So I started this thread.

I just want to say to all cheaters out there, if they don't stop to use a bot, the teeworlds community won't get more players.

So I hope you understand that.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Hey azuma, you're a botter! I recorded how you put ur bot on ! you left the game and joined with bot.... ( this is a joke )

It looks like fake mhm?))

Re: Bot-User detection log!

hmmmm... 1.) botusing in vanilla is stupid, you cant aim with the grenade launcher and your movement fails:)
2.) yes i was using a bot, but not an on/off-bot (strg/ctrl-bot), only an ordinary bot smile
3.) as far as i know Jordane has the same bot, but he's never using it, too.
4.) i knew that lanta joined eQ to proof if we're a botter-clan, so why should i say him then that i'm a cheater? kinda senseless.
5.) happy easter to all smile
6.) cya ingame:)
7.) lets wait for version 0.6 big_smile

greeeetzz,
bassgo/kirk

P.S:
one point i forgot to mention: i restarted teeworlds again after that game because blacky and me had a funwar vs. sunrise... and now guess what i did when i restarted teeworlds again? smile riiiteee , i turned bot off smile

Re: Bot-User detection log!

come on this discussion is so pointless its already been done so many times.

Just face it as long as there is no significant evidence you can proof yourself as you , such as player accounts, you have to thrust the people you play against in competitive matter.

So if  you don´t thrust a player -> don´t play with him.

And please dont bring up another over 9000 topics about aimbot users whether you got proof if they use aimbots or not.

Aimbots are mostly a problem of mods not vanilla so developers will never take actions as long as vanilla gameplay isn´t affected.

I guess all this was said long before in here :
http://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4109
http://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3875

and all those other aimbot topics around here

Re: Bot-User detection log!

I'm here big_smile
I've always done thing believeng one day this thing should help the comunity. Detecting cheaters and botters is one of them, I don't like to play with them.
Ok, Kirk is one, and it's just an example. Of the many users playing now there are many many botters, too much. If you have proofs here is the right place to publish them.
That's not a useless topic. It's about the Teeworlds future and the future of the entire community.

By the way, the proof about Kirk is 100% reliable, I've made them and also Kirk can confirm. Also, see the number of frags per min... it's a bit unhuman, isn't it? xD
Now I want to reply to the many answers, one by one:

That's another big problem and should be really considered. Think about it.

You position is making me think. Who developed the awesome super-ctrl bot for kirk and blacky? It's really awesome, a perfect work, a work that I've tried to imitate without success. Only a good developers like you can code something similar... and with this, I said all my suspects about you and eQ. (underline, SUSPECTS) And that's why I left. I have an image, and you too.
1) He's not a faker. After that match there was another one with his brother, too. By the way, was not the first time he used it into a clanwar. I joined the clan only for this.
And no Azuma, not on ICQ. By the way, he was him, 120% sure. And he said this.
2) Was not the first time, and won't be the last. He will use the bot also now with these proof avaiable online.
3) I never trolled about your team. I trolled about 2 members of your team botting, and I can say you more. Other members of eQ will be listed here for using other illegal modified clients. How can you defend them Rajh? Are you one of them?
4)Ok, that's an insta proof. But, like Azuma said, it can be used without problems in a vanilla match. By the way, after many matches with and against you, I can say also vanilla matches were not so fair.

Rajh wrote:

The thing was allready well-known. We only wanted one more proof, and here you are. You've done many great project about cheat detection like the RajhCheatDetector. I always admirated your works but... RCD is still buggy and always will be. You don't want it to be perfect or what?
Kirk was kicked just entering the game into RCD i remember it. I've tested RCD and it really kick aimbotters but also skilled players.
By the way, cheating is your problem. And it's a problem of the whole community.

Rajh wrote:

Talking about community with people you can't trust ?
(again i don't say he is not cheating just talking about the way you know it)

I trusted him and he trusted me. That was his biggest error. Call me traitor, call me whatever you want, but I'm still Lanta. That's why, when I asked him to turn on his bot, he did it.
I trust in the future of the community, not in the single player. One maybe be sacrificated for the health of the rest (that remeber me a bit Easter... xD).

We are waiting for account system... in the meanwhile, we'll keep updated this list with names and proof, so every server admin/clan will think about interact with these people. That's the simplest method to prevent botting at the moment.

Rajh wrote:

The demo is not enough? Watch it, Rajh, watch it again. That's the biggest proof ever seen about a botter.
There will never be "the tool" against cheaters. There is human intelligence only, that sometimes culd be helped by statistics.
Watch the demo, again. And with this, I said all for now.

1) do you know what is the hook? And what is a ctrl-bot? Kinda useless to talk like this.
Insta bot could be used also in vanilla and in map with lasers (99% of maps) it's an advantage. Only for laser, yes, but could be used btw.
2) yeah, this time was an ordinary bot. You needed to disconnect and re-join to activate or deactivate it.
3) proofs?
4) you didn't knew that. You just discovered it, now.
5-6-7) like i said.... he will continue... that's the goal of this thread, it's not like a simple discussion about bot or cheats.
8)WoW... and how we should know you won't use it next time in a clanwar? how can we "trust" you again next time?
Admin it, you are not using only a simple aimbot in vanilla.

Marik16 wrote:

Ah, marik marik.
This discussion is not pointless. We'll keep an updated list of player with proofs of cheating to warn other clans/server hoster about these user. Nothing more simple to do, until an account system will be introduced.

Vanilla gameplay isn't affected? Nice... really nice. Laser still exists in Vanilla, and they can use it without problems.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

this demo shows me botusing, but not a ctrl bot, so its not a proof, nub.
do u really want to make me angry, little stupid naives?
omagad... i HATE ppl like you...
why do you not just accept that i'm better than you?
ok, eQ never won against Qi on ctf2, so does that mean that they are botuser, too? nooooo... ofc not.... Qi are all wellknow guys in the scene, so its easy to see who is/are the real botuser... eQ ofc!
i can understand your distrust in this point, blacky and me play vanilla for 6 month now, before we started with vanilla we were 2 of the best instagib players, and yes, there ARE many botuser in instagib.
i started my career in the year 2008 as an instagib player (cuz i didnt know how to find vanilla server) :s
and i was getting better very fast, 4 months  later i joined the best lost clan, FogLand, and already there were some guys calling me a botuser (Highscore).
they had a very good idea about how to proof if i'm a botuser.
they played against me in an older version, and i failed, so i seemed to be a botuser.
i often changed my nickname cuz i just wanted to play some nice funwars, and i wasnt able to cuz they called me botuser all the time.
some month later then i move from lost to ctf2/4, i was growing fast and after 2-3 month i was one of the best (maybe the best) instagib player... but, you know, it was the sime like with lost.
first some idiots called me botuser, just for fun, but i was just getting better, so it wasnt fun anymore and i stopped playing teeworlds for some time.
then i started again with some little funclans, we pwned the best instagib clans and i was looking for a competition.
so i started playing vanilla...
i tried to join oop, they didnt accept me (cuz of botusing oO)
then i tried to join phönix (GS), they didnt accept me (cuz of movement fails)
THEN i was asked to join a clan, cant remember its name, but i didnt want (they were 2 nooby xD)
at least i joined eQ, and now you call me botuser.... in the past i was proud of something like that, but now the band REALLY begins to play :s

so pls dont call me botuser till u dont have proofs , thx smile

sry 4 bad english, i just wrote this reply cuz i was bored and wanted to tell u smth about my history smile

Nice story, realy interesting. And why all call you bot-user, in every gametype, in every map? There must be something true. We've posted a simple proofof an insta match. And that's all.

BassGo wrote:

The demo is our proof you are familiar with bot-using, expecially in instagib. At the moment, we can't detect if you use a ctrl-bot or something similar in vanilla, but if you use it in insta... ... ...

Re: Bot-User detection log!

This thread is quite pointless, only thing you will achieve is to get enemies, even if you think what you are trying to do helps teeworlds. The solution to all those problems of cheating, funvoting, w/e is to play on moderated servers with trusted people. Thats my opinion and it always worked for me.

About BassGo - I also played against him a few times and I'm on the same opinion - YOU are a gay cheater, nobody cares when you started playing and all that shit you wrote, you suck, thats why u bot. Better watch out coz that may just happen to you

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Azuma I think you know i like you but this thread is rubbish. Maybe he was botting in a instagib game, but who cares?
Not long ago you was in a clan who was botting in instagib, too.
You should know that people in tw can't loose. I don't think that somebody of eq is so good, he maybe botting.
Earlier you called kinnay a botter, he come to our clan and you saw he wasn't a botter.

It is embarrassing to see how you upsets because of a 2D shooter.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Hm if kirk or blacky use bots, All players of the great teams can use a bot. We can't know who use a bot and I don't play for that... It's not the best solution I think... If you must play bad for that nobody say that you are a bot, we must stop to play...
So i think that's not the good solution, wait the 0.6

thats a prooof... a proof that i'm not a botuser smile

Re: Bot-User detection log!

Well, you all have written your hearts out in this discussion...
we all know you will continue to use bots (or continue to be spontaneously perfect aim all of a sudden), but there isn't much that we can do about it.
One thing, is that YOU can think about. Bots are wrong, use them if you like, but know that you aren't playing as yourself, you are playing as some bot.
Also, if this is a bot-user log, we might as well post more people instead of throwing attacks at kirk.

USA pride. What now.

Re: Bot-User detection log!

As this discussion leads to nowhere, and will only cause lot's of flaming from side to side I don't see a reason to continue this. It's common knowledge that bots are used extensively and on many occasions. Developers can't do anything about it, so it's up to server administrators to deal with them. As there is nothing to tie a players name to an actual player you need to be very careful to call names and throw accusations.

Now if the original plan was to make a list of suspected bot-users, this is something which can be done, but will need some moderator supervision in order to work. I'll see in the near future if it's functional and possible to set such topic up, and manage it in a decent way. Until then I suggest that these discussions stay away from the forum and are dealt with through other means of communication.

If there is need to discuss bots in general, please use existing topics like this one.
