NiKMic Posted February 22, 2016 Hi. I am working on a project on game cheat detection therefore I need an open source game and a cheat/bot/hack for that game. The open source game I am using is DOOM (that is why I'm here...) but I am yet to find a cheat/bot/hack. I am using Chocolate DOOM on Linux (using a DOOM 1 wad, but that is not really relevant I think) at the moment but I can easily change the source/port I am using. Does anyone have any links to some downloadable cheat/bot/hack please. Thanks :) P.S. Not sure if I posted in the right section. Apologies if not :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted February 24, 2016 There's not really much you can do to "cheat" or "hack" vanilla or chocolate Doom as it is, at least not in single player: you can already make the player overpowered/invincible with the built-in cheat codes or DEHacked patches. I presume you meant cheating in some form of online play/multiplayer? That'd be harder already, but not impossible, however Chocolate Doom is hardly the best port to explore this kind of cheating. Unless you're willing to write a lot of custom code and create your own modified version of Chocolate Doom, I'd suggest trying a port with a built-in scripting engine, such as ZDoom, or better yet, ZDaemon or Odamex. BTW, those already have some forms of built-in cheat detection, even though it's a constant arms race between the devs and the cheaters. 0 Share this post Link to post

I am aware of some bot (literally a bot that plays the game alone without human input) called ACBot which used to work on Doom Legacy. I don't have much information on it since I didn't find a lot of information about it online. If an auto-play bot is not available, some form of aim hack or wall hack (even for a single player game) will work for me. Not sure I made myself clear enough. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zdaemon is closed source. Odamex is open source and last I checked had no cheat detection. Zandronum is also open source and I think only certain servers have a modified something or other that has cheat detection. Zandronum frequently has hacks written for it, Odamex not so much because nobody plays Odamex so what's the point. A few years ago it did though, Shogun/Sigma was caught wallhacking (while still losing) in odamex. Zandronum also supports bots playing on their own, though the Botscript is lost. Dusk was trying to remedy this though. A quick google-search for skulltag or zandronum hacks will probably net you the results you want though. 0 Share this post Link to post

I will be looking at Zandronum bots then. Thanks. Any other suggestions/links are greatly appreciated. EDIT: So apparently Zandronum is in C++ not C. I need it to be in C. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted February 25, 2016 I'm not sure if this helps, and it's not exactly Doom realted, but I actually read a really interesting post by a former cheat and anti-cheat developer that you might be interested in: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/47dv61/insights_from_an_ex_anticheat_developer_on_the/ Kind of a sobering take on the state of anti-cheat in general. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thanks for your reply! Saw that and commented already. Used to play CS quite a bit so was interested in that! Thanks anyway :) 0 Share this post Link to post
