That makes perfect sense to me. Thank you for sharing that bit of info.

Thank you for sharing that link. Both of my current weapons are on that list so I guess I am good. I have no intent on ever obtaining something that is outside the fairness of the game so I will try to memorize that list and avoid anything if it doesn't match. I've yet to run into any hackers or anything not allowed to my knowledge thus far but am sure it's only a matter of time before that changes. I do have a suggestion however if it is possible. I am guessing servers keep track of every item for your script to be able to work. Would it be possible to simply make the server de-spawn items that are not allowed? I realize this may not be possible to the players inventory but for corpses or if they were randomly thrown on the ground. So for example if someone who cheats happens to die their corpse would be scanned and remove anything deemed not legit.

I'm a rather new player and after reading this thread it leaves me a bit worried. How am I suppose to know if a item is hacked from reading I guess certain weapons aren't actually in the mod but what of hacked items that are? Would it kick and ban players for picking up a can of beans that was hacked in and dropped? If so won't hackers just start spamming all types of items and leaving them on the ground with the intent of getting people banned? In-fact I am a bit worried that this may have already happened to me on a server, eariler today I found what seemed to be someone trying to exploit with barded wire putting it inside a building blocking passing, however there was a ladder and a top entrance which also had barbed wire at the bottom but I managed to climb up. Inside there was loot and I took some. I didn't get a weapon out of it but did find quite a bit of food, ammo, a map, and other supplies. I soon left the game. I got on later and joined another server and was quickly kicked. I don't know if it was by your script or not and likely have no way to tell and I cannot think of any reason as I was alone and just scavanging. I fully support your efforts in stopping cheaters but think you should also try to avoid getting innocent well meaning players from being effected. Is there any chance you could remove the banning feature and simply have it kick, but before kicking explain why the player is for a brief moment and what item exactly is doing it? This way someone like myself who is a total noob to the game can unload the offending items and happily play on the servers that choose to use your scipt.
