Security & Mapvote? (2004)

[legacy-fr4j0]

I've had a look through various post regarding the future release of 2004 - Yet never come across any references of any new security information. Will this now be integrated into 2004 instead of a mutator?

Also will there be an in-built mapvote module?

Both these points, security and mapvote, I see as being very important for 2004. Anyone got info? or can point me in the right direction?

[00:36] <DrSiN[EPIC]> Som - UT2K3's cheat protection actually lasted for about a year
[00:36] <DrSiN[EPIC]> BUT.. it was limited.
[00:36] <DrSiN[EPIC]> I always expected the MD5 protection to be cracked and had several fallbacks, BUT a bug is stopping them from working.
[00:37] <DrSiN[EPIC]> For UT2K4, I've added a lot more, especially in terms of what the master server can track.
[00:37] <DrSiN[EPIC]> So yes, UT2K4's cheat protection is stronger.
[00:38] <DrSiN[EPIC]> As for UT2K3, as I said there is a bug that is keeping the next layer from working. To fix it would require us to break network compatibility which won't happen before UT2K4 ships. How much of the cheat protection is ported backwards will probably depend on the strength of the UT2K3 community afterwards.

[01:30] <MarkRein[Epic]> [MJ12]NuKeR--> There is now voting in UT2004!
[01:30] <DrSiN[EPIC]> Mj12Nuker - Bruce Bickar wrote the map vote/match setup for UT2K4.. so yea.

and

[01:09] <Jb_Chaos[Moderator]> <HCC|Guybrush> Will UT2k4 have a warmup mode, a HUD clock, a map/mut/kick voting system, hit sounds and bright skins? What about other features for the "competitive player"?
[01:10] <DrSiN[EPIC]> <HCC|Guybrush> No warmup mode except for Assault, yes to map/mut/kick voting, not lame hit sounds, but we are working on making pain sounds more in your face, and the skins are brighter, but not neon like TTM

I hope certain hit ratios and sertain accursy makes you kicked then banned if it happens 2 times (with the ability to unlock specific players they trust and know are that good) i dont think a ordinary player can manage to get the stats helios does...
