Rogue Listener Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am an admin for a couple of servers that I co-admin with a few others, and one of them claims that there is/are keygenerator(s) program(s) out there that generate legitimate keys. I understand that pirated copies of the game come with a keygenerator, but that once applied the software only runs on "cracked" servers. I believe this admins claim is preposterous and that he is over his head. He also claims that you can buy one of these generators for $100. I thought I'd follow up on this anyway, no matter how outlandish it sounds. I also figured this would be the place to ask, because, as I'm sure, if someone got wind of this it would be all over the CoD4 community, especially this place. I'd rather not go out and see if I can find one of these myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Listener Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 doubt it... wanna lose 100 and find out? Well, I did google it and skimmed the hits, as I'd rather not go into the actual sites themselves, and deduced from what information I did see that no such thing exists. I didn't find anyone actually selling a key generator, legitimate or otherwise, but you can bet I'd be the last person to spend my money on it. :D ...and long as we're on the subject, what's the stupidest excuse you've ever heard from an admin just to ban someone? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Listener Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well in this admin's mind, he believes, players that he has banned previously have come back under other names. Consequently he has innocent players banned without a shred of proof, believing that they are the same players that he had banned previously. he is convinced that people go around with these keygens, turn on their hacks and just generate a new key when that one gets banned.

fozzer Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you have a problem with a server admin, the best course of action is to use the admins clan forums to sort out your issue. Failing that, you can use the PM facility on these boards, please do not name him on here. afaik the issue with the guidrelax setting is still prevalent on cod4 servers. If the pb_sv_guidrelax setting is 7, any random keygen user can connect to your server. COD4 forces the pb_sv_guidrelax setting to 7 on each map_rotate or server restart, The only way to 'fix' it, is with a PB task that constantly reassigns it to 0. pb_sv_task 60 240 pb_sv_guidrelax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
