    Remote Character Control

    Recently I have had an admin double jump my character at random intervals, even while not touching the keyboard. Is there a mod which allows for this or is it a hax? Either way it's got to be cheating right?

    Do you hear any helicopters circling over head when this happens?

        Not sure what that response means, unless it's americanese for paranoid conjecture or delusions - in which case it's an insult and I will dismiss it as such.
        Let me try be a little more clear about what happened. This was on the FA4K server and RepeatUK says: "Watch how quickly Alien jumps forward", and bam, my character does a forward dodge. This happened several times, usually followed by him typing haha (Nelson – soundz mod).
        It happened. The "hack" exists.
        So, on to finding out how: This clearly has to be a client side mod, so I would hazard a guess it's a downloaded package. Which is the question in the first post: Does the functionality exist in a mod, i.e. AdminToolkit.
        I would like to determined whether or not this "mod" is constrained to the game or is placing key codes in the Windows message queue. The consequences of the latter are self evident.

          Alien ... I was lightheartedly joking with ya .. so plz don't take it as an insult - thanks for the details - that's a very interesting story you've explained.

          It could be a custom script / mutator or something that runs on the server .. take some screen shots next time and post them.

            if server-side packages or vulnerability of such are in question, then the cache.ini may provide insight here.

              (I have been on the receiving end of such admin foolery on another server, and immediately left.)

                It is a mutator, AlienDNA. I have it aswell and can use it if i administrate a server.
                SO NO, no one can ban him. It's Reapeatuk's server so he does whatever he likes. Better for you and everyone not play on that server again. It might hurt you
                He probably did it because all you do is use space bar, aka Bunny hopping.

                  @Izan4gi: If you have the source code for the mutator could you PM it to me.

                    Hi I thought I should make a reply to clear up a few things that have been said in this post.

                    After the fa2k server closed down, I decided to rent a new bta server to fill the void of the old one and to have some fun with friends.
                    I pay for this server so I can install and use whatever mods I like, you don't HAVE to play on this server it's your choice.
                    If you mouse over the server in the browser you can clearly see what mutators are running on the server and can make a decision on whether or not to join. None of the server mods are malicious in any way and only aid in administrating the server and there is certainly no danger in playing on this server at all.

                    Finally this is not the first run in I have had with aliendna, I have had bad experiences in the past including Long periods of AFK, Shooting at own teammates on purpose, and constant foul language.
                    It seems that rather than actually playing the game Alien would rather write abusive messages to people and make false accusations about cheating, it's a shame because I think he has real potential. At the end of the day I am just trying to keep a server running for the people who still enjoy playing this mode and this epic game, it's just unfortunate that some people try to spoil that.

                    Peace out and thanks to all the guys who play good times!

                      @Repeat: To address your concerns the only time I will ever be AFK is because of a crash (very seldom) which happens too many other players on the server. Reverse friendly fire is on, so shooting team mates would be pointless, unless you’re referring to Whirly, who took to jumping round in front of me for awhile. The only point you do have is the language, but you seem happy enough to mute me. Still there are legitimate reasons for the frustration: being kicked of the server mid game so you or one of your mates can join; having my character moved around (it really is cheating – even if you’re having fun); grossly unbalanced teams; constant jibes, etc.

                      Anyway, I would still like to see the code and find out the extent of control provided by the “mutator” and any potential exploits. Code is being executed from within a downloaded mutator on my pc via an admin typing commands on a remote server. I’m sure there’s a name for this kinda stuff...

                        If you make hackusations (quite ridiculous and too often, tbh) with no proof and to players who (clearly) don't cheat, why would we believe or agree with you if you actually go through an inspection to this mutator? It's been online for ages, it is fun and it is helpfull for admins. Again, HE payed for the server, he's not abusing his admin powers on an Epic/Multiplay server. If he wanted, he could put his HP above 200 if he likes. Point is: Where the f*ck is the fun in there? It's a custom server, his server. You can give your opinion about him, the server or the mutator, but it won't change anything unless you and five thousand more "AlienDNA's" share the same opinion as you.

                        two cents given*

                          His server. He can kick/ban/mute/f*** with you for any reason he wants.

                            Ok, lets for a moment agree that admins can do what they like on THEIR servers, ignoring the double standard where a player would get a lifetime ban for the same infringement. Admins NEVER have the right to execute code on another PC and this is what I believe must have happened.

                            If you can prove this is all done on the server, I will drop it and put up with admins having "fun". Which many of you clearly feel they are entitled too - all hail badmin. Until then, the exact capabilities of the AdminToolKit and what extensions it can execute need to be investigated.

                              dude, then no one should be able to play online because, offline, you can speedhack and have god mode on lol. Epic has stablished their rules on their servers. If a mutator gives you the ability to have god mode, slap opponents and also set gravity 0, set game speed etc.. Whats the ****ing problem of that? I've had fun playing like that in some 3v3 matches, all 6 guys with no grav, or everyone speedhacking, or only redeemers..Ofc Repeat could do that, but then again, if he had done that, no one would play there. Its a MUTATOR used for fun, not that we're using that on other games without anyone knwing that. . If you dont like it, simply play on a server that doesn't have it. Drop it already. Take your anger and indignation to somewhere else. You're complaining about something that's existed on Unreal for ages. Pointless
