Hello. I just have an idea. I don't know it could help prevent cheating or not.

When the player plays the flashlight mod, osu! client could take a screenshot in the middle of the music.
The screenshot must have the HUD removed, like this:

Submit the screenshot along with the score. Then the server could check the four corners of the screenshot submitted. If they are not black or look strange, the server could reject the score. (an admin could add the score manually if it is considered not cheating)

How would that be?

EDIT: This is mostly how ClearClick, an anti-clickjacking tool works.


support.

BTW, if we cant stop those damn cheaters, is there a day that the whole online ranking system will be removed?

Well for that matter, have the system auto-report with screenshot any player who's screen contains not enough black pixels and is definitely occuring during main game play with flashlight mod enabled. You can ban the player with evidence.

I'm just floored that people would be so desperate to cheat for a modest score boost per play that they would start hacking the memory of the game. Freaking unbelievable.

Ever think about those who have slow internet and can't upload an entire image? Even if they can, this is just silly and easy to bypass.

Although making osu check on the program itself, then sending if there's something wrong?

Yeah I don't know. Although that guy really has too much time on his hands

Just to let you guys know: I am not looking for ways to detect this. I am capable of doing this myself, but also do not plan on going to much more effort for previously cited reasons.

Sad to see the flashlight mod going away....

but actually peppy can you leave the flashlight mod available but the scores summited with flashlight open is unranked, i mean like the relax mod if this issue can't be solved.

This is already how it works. Sorry, maybe the subject was a bit unclear.

Google won't do anything about it. It would also be a temporary and ineffective solution.

Umm... Then do you have any solutions about preventing 'Editing DLL file which has most important database' ;_;?
Just checking DLL seems not long but...

peppy, you ever thought of getting an anti-hack type of thing? I know they don't work 100% but they could possibly slow them down.


I'd sooner remove all online rankings. The more I fight against hacks, the more invasive it gets for the good users out there.


this is the most true quote ever,also the moment any anti hack program gets installed is the moment you give a fun "challenge" to these kind of people, by what ive seen all anti hack programs really do is increase the amount of hackers, yea its very iratating why ppl would cheat on a dang rythm game, but its nothing new it happens pretty much everywhere

and tbh thanks peppy its great that this places admin cares so much about keep it fair for the good player, compared to most game where the staff really dont give a damn, its great to see someone go out of there way like you are <333

also ppl the mode is still playable it just dont give ranked score, so we can still have fun with the mode atleast ;)

I've seen a chatlog few days ago where Dimka logged in to #russian and said that he'll post a new FL hack soon. Guess here it is =|

Well, sorry, but I really forgot about it. Was playing LoL when Dimka logged on and had to deal some other things IRL after.
