What a sad news...
I love to play with Flashlight...
Can't the cheaters be found and punished?
I really do not want to see this mod disabled...;_;
But if this is the only way to prevent cheating...well, I'll be agree with this with sadness
I guess the flashlight mod is really easy to cheat, just like wallhacking in most first-person shooter games.
I guess I understand the reasoning behind this, but even if the problem can't be entirely solved, would it be possible to change flashlight to a non-score multiplying mod just for fun?

You can still play for the moment but it won't be ranked. I'm not sure on the future of flashlight, but as with last time it may come back.Sparkkirby3 wrote:

While we're on topic, it really sucks that some people would have to cheat their way using Flash Light. Players like me and Glass use the Flash Light mod fairly. And if this keeps up, then I guess there is no other option but to remove it. ._. If it were to come to that, it was a blast using it then....

Why don't disable hidden mod
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.

Ban FL ,it makes me feel disappoint with some players:|
Great just when I started getting good at it too >:T
Why couldn't they cheat a useless mod like sudden death! >:O

Shit sucks. I hate Flashlight but I don't think other people who genuinely love it should suffer.
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.
Hacking on a rhythm game>skill?

I'd really hate to see FL be gone, but if there's no way to prevent it being cheated I guess I'll just live with the other mods(still gonna hate DT though ;|). Explorer09's idea sounds good, but there might be ways to rig that as well.

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

As a player who never use flashlight, this will definitely benefit me. Nonetheless, I really hope flashlight stays.
Please, peppy, remind me why auto-updater which checks the .dll (and other) files and compares them to server's ones before running a game is a bad thing?

Because this would take ~1minute on slow PCs (although this is already being done to an extent). The new cheat modifies the memory of osu! after it has loaded.Galkan92 wrote:

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.

BTW... Will you deal with that blog again orz...?
Just reporting would be better imo ;_;
and... I think osu! should check about dll when user opens osu! :3...

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...
I dunno ;_;
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 everywherepeppy wrote:

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.

Cheating just shows how people retarded can be.
I mean they are using cheats in such easy game
I don't understand this... why are they doing this?
To ruin another game? For what? What are they trying to prove?
That they can be more retarded that people can be? LOL
