No, it's definitely not. You can't force any player to download anything more than it usually would download from your server. Esp. the client side Nephthys won't download anything else than Deus Ex packages, namely no .dll files or .exe files or anything like that.~[A]Daedalus~ wrote:And yes. This mod is a way to force people install QValidate. You know what this means? That none of existing aimbots and hacks will work in Deus Ex.
Nephthys is a security mod for unreal 1 engine based games and not a trojanic backdoor to inject arbitrary stuff to other computers.
All client side downloaded stuff is compared by checksums to be the same byte code currently running on the server. If the checksum fails the package is removed immediately.
Clients don't need to have Nephthys to join your server. A server running Nephthys can't forcely upload anything to any client.
Nephthys doesn't check for any cheats and it isn't intended to do so. But it helps other server mods of getting rid of the cheaters ... forever
For that purpose Nephthys has a uscript function/event interface which is useable as native base for additional uscript mods.
All that and more is explained in detail in the Nephthys Documentation which comes with Nephthys.
Have fun and keep on gaming!
