Actually I would have thought that detecting maphack would be possible, certainly in a patch if now
Equally I would have thought it possible (and perhaps more amusing) to lie to maphack
Sequence is:
Server loads map & monsters
Server changes msle's to be something innocuous
Players come on-screen
Server changes them back
Now wouldn't that be jolly good fun! :lol:
More seriously though they really can re-write a lot of the game during the patch including the mechanism that allows maphack to work. I would be disappointed if they couldn't solve this problem
Ultimately the real solution is beyond technical but legal. If Mousepad found himself in court for copyright violations and hacking that should help provide a legit playing experience.
