James-old Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 When I am suspecting someone is hacking I go into spectate and try to watch them. They usually turn off their hacks and then play legit. So I was wondering if there is a way people could watch the servers without playing in them? This would help ban alot of hackers from the servers if they didnt know people were watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't start yelling "OH MY GOD THAT GUY IS HACKING I'M GOING TO SPECTATE YOU NOOB YOU'RE GETTING BANNED!" If you don't do that there shouldn't be any problems.

James-old Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Ya,but anybody with common sense would just turn off the hacks. Especially if they can see the message in console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people trolling our servers and monitoring the servers through HLSW (Half Life Server Watch). If you need an admin superfast, Find me on vent and I will gladly ban anyone who is breaking server rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-old Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Oh well is HLSW only for admins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-old Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I don't understand what you're getting at. Im just saying people who dont want to get caught usually turn there hacks off if they know someone is watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James-old Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Eh still alot of them would turn off their hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudabaga Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Leave the server, wait about 20 seconds and rejoin with a different name.. Edit - I didn't see what weeman said because, I only read the first post.. your best bet, leave the server change name to something completely random like "Im a big deal on the internet" and join and immediatly go spectator put on auto observe and begin recording.

James-old Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am wondering if I could use something besides spectate to watch people on CSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There is no real option which is better and more effective than the spectate ability. Anything else that exists (that I know of) will just be a text based system such as the rcon console feature that many admin tools have built in. That is remote, but only feeds console info. I'm sure Gabe Newell could ponder up a new feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubanCarlos Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just for your Information, HLSW is not for admins only, you can download it for free, but you need the RCon passwords for the server and stuff like that to be able to actually do anything with it...
