Ya, I am sure we all know very well how easy it is to get sidetracked and get pulled into working on other problems instead of just focusing on one project :P Seems like I am working on something different every day lol.
The current anti-MQ detection in the 1110 code works very well and seems to catch every case of actual warping. The only negative part to it atm is that it also catches some false positives. It seems like CotH and maybe some other legit character moving features are not accounted for in the current committed version. I know you put checks in for pretty much all of them in the newest anti-MQ detection release.
Maybe if we could just get all of the false positive checks that are in the latest one added to the current committed version, that would finalize the detection to be quite complete for now anyway. Of course, it would also be great to have it run the checks against velocity instead of distance to help remove even more false positives.
I will try to do a diff of your newest anti-MQ code against the one that is currently in the committed code and post it here. Then, maybe we can all work towards pulling out the important changes and see if we can get the new stuff working. I am no coder, but I am fairly good at adjusting things as long as I have examples to work with and can grasp what it is trying to do.
I think it would be great to have some of the other rules working as well, but that isn't quite as important.
I want to make it clear that I LOVE the current MQ detection that is in the 1110 release! This will save me countless hours of time from investigating cheating and already in just a couple of days has stopped almost every incident of MQ abuse on my server! So, THANKS! I currently have the MQZone rule turned off so that I don't have to worry about zone_points and I think that helps a lot at least until I can find time to add them all in.
Even if nothing is changed in the code from here on out, I think it is a vital tool for the community and probably the best thing we have gotten in quite a while. That isn't to say that all of the other changes recently aren't great, but just that the MQ detection is simply amazing!
