Is this Legit? Or Hacking

I've read to look out for 1.000000's in your setdamage logs.. especially lots. also have LOTS of players that seem to be spamming with 0.000000's.

Here's the first:

How many 0.000000 entries in what span of time constitutes clear cheating?

Maybe there's been no one who's come across this who knows.

With that attitude, good luck with getting help.

Have fun with your server.

It's very frustrating spending the amount of time, money, and effort I put into trying to do this and the utter vortex of information there is...

Everything I read says, do this or if it has this then it's that... but they constantly contradict themselves and the evidence I'm presented with first hand...

I spam the damage log... ALL THE TIME, and I've certainly never hacked or cheated. I'm getting so frustrated with trying to run a server at my cost for public use that promotes Arma II, DayZ, Battleye, all the while I'm paying for all of those things and getting no direct advice on how to prevent abuse.

I'm pretty sure I'm banning innocent people, and just as sure if not more so that I'm COMPLETELY missing real hackers a LOT of the time...

I wish I could help, but honestly I'm not completely sure on what to look out for either. I've had the same problem with hackers but I just wrote script restriction codes etc. I'm not 100% sure what to look out for in the logs though.

Sorry :/

To clarify this for everyone:

The setdamage.log is spammed by almost every player on your server. Ignore everything but lines with "1.000000" in them.

It is the "1.000000" that are 100% confirmed hacks, nothing else. If anyone tells you anything otherwise, they don't know what they're talking about. I deal with these logs on a daily basis.

There are a lot of unconfirmed suspicions of other types of lines being used by scripters as well but they remain unconfirmed.
