Singleplayer Half-Life 2 VAC?

[idiotican]

Hi, I'm idiotican. I've been developing cheats for the Unreal Engine for about a year now, and I'm ready to bring it to the Source Engine (only in single-player. I don't cheat in multiplayer games cause it's rude). I'm wondering if you can get VAC banned from using hacks in Single-player in Half-Life 2. This may be a stupid question, but I'm trying to collect some information on Source. Some people said that they were banned from hacking in single-player Source games, and I want to know if that's true. I don't want to put my account at risk.

[idiotican]

Before you type YOU DON'T NEED AIMBOT IT'S A SINGLE PLAYER GAME NOOB GET SOME SKILL. It's just a hobby of mine. It expands what you can do in the game apart from aimbot, which kind of ruins the game. But it's fun for me.

[ReBoot]

Why not just use console cheats?

You won't be banned playing single player; no VAC secure server. Just be sure they are off/ uninstalled before entering a VAC server on any other game, such as Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.

Thank you for actually helping me. I just wanted to know if those were rumors or not.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but this and many of your interactions with other online multiplayer game players really seem to suggest that you do not restrict cheatig from multiplayer games as you mention in your post:

I'm fairly certain that part of the SSA is regarding to online play. Many games have built in cheats, and mods could be considered cheats in some cases.

The definition of cheat is given in the same document. FOr someone who claims to have read and accepted it, you seem rather ignorant of the detail:
http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/365172547940857079/

Anyway, if you bothered to read you will also note that despite claiming only "single player", there seems to be a definite interest and history in cheats and developing cheats for online multiplayer games.

Give that section a good read again: 4. ONLINE CONDUCT, CHEATING AND ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR.

It really only applies when cheats are used "to give a player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions of any Content and Services or modifications of Content and Services"

[Commander Makara]

So many people terying to argue a point despite it being clearly explained (if you actually bothered to read text in entirety rther than choice snippets padded with personal, idealised interpretation) so the topic digresses into a lesson in how to read and digest literal information rather than assumer and presume from incomplete understanding.

I gave at least one entire paragraph to describe the importance of the word "may" and provided a suitable analogy to explain the relevance of the online play reference. *

It is recommended YOU actually take the time to read the post linked properly.*

You also seem to neglecvt the ffact that the OP expresses clear desires to and historically has use of cheats in online multiplayer games, despite the title of this topic.
Therefore any arguments regarding the definition and its applicability to online or offline games are moot. Any cheats developed for offline play are suitable as cheats for online play, there is no distinction in the approach nor content, only the application and execution, as such, the creation of cheats irrepspective of the intent or suggested employment is the same for sinlge player or multiplayer, since the engine (in this case, Source) is one and the same for eeither single or multiplayer games.
When considerting an engine such as Source, which provides single or multiplayer platform, there is no "single player cheat creation" nor is there "multiplayer cheat creation" - there is "cheat creation".
So please stop inventing pointless arguments, read the ACTUAL CONTENT of the thread and relevant material, then if you seek to discuss a point, do so with intelligence and logic, not flawed opinion and lack of reasoning.

(Because fiollowing a link is clearly too much effort/difficult for you)

3) "give a player an unfair competitive advantage when playing multiplayer versions "
There is a subtle but impoortant abiguity in this clause particularly concerning the presence and employment of the word "when".

An analogy is such like a gun being considered a lethal weapon.

Regardless of whether that particualr gun is loaded, fired, has ever been or will ever be used to kill, it is regarded as a "LETHAL WEAPON" due to it having the potential to be shoudl it be loaded and shot and used to kill.
A "cheat" has potential to provide an unfair advantage should it ever be used in a multiplayer environment. Even if that cheat is not used n such and if detected outside of such na environment, it is still the same cheat with the same potential. Therefore, fully covered bythe definition.

All right dude. I just came back from Tim Hortons, and I want to respond, which will probably be wasting my precious time, but this is somewhat a type of entertainment for me. To be honest, I think that you were being stupid and extremely bias against me in your statements. I do not want to offend you, or break any of the rules and regulations of the Steam Discussions. I was merely asking a question if you can get VAC banned from cheating in single-player games. I never said I hack on multiplayer accounts on this account. Occasionally I cheat on different accounts, and the way you're putting your words is making it seem like I hack on this account. I do hack, but on single-player Unreal Engine games on this account. Text is no reason to be banned by VAC. There are only three ways to get VAC banned. Cheating on VAC-secured servers, having the same phone number as a banned user, and an account you were family sharing with getting banned. Text is no way of getting banned. I can go on the Discussions and type I'M A CHEATER VAC BAN ME, and I will still not get VAC banned. Perhaps I could get community-banned, but I do not believe there is a rule against merely saying that you cheat in the Steam Discussions. Also bud, VAC bans do not take place based on reports, so reporting me is useless. Take it from Valve:

VAC does not ban based on reports. Such data is only used for tracking and statistics purposes.

And to be honest, yes I did lie to cover my ego at first, because salty kids like you get mad at multiplayer game cheaters, and nobody would answer my question if I said that I hacked in multiplayer games. I have to go work on my car, I'll see you in a few hours (after I debunk some other statements).

Well then, I hope you wont mind getting your account banned occasionally too


Also you really need to stop using potty language. Telling people not to ne autistic is not a comparison, its being rude and quite frankly childish.

PS; thanks for basically labelling people with autism as stupid, very mature (coming from someone with aspergers)

All right dude. Instead of this being a battle of idiocy, it's now a general argument. Sorry about your illness. I had no intention to offend anybody. Do you want some TF2 weapons for free, bud? I didn't know you had aspergers.
