Alright so hacks are discussed, how about the possibility of bots?

For instance a Fishing bot? Can bots be programmed to bypass hackshield that work with Source?

What keys are pressed to fish? check your configs file and see what that key is bound to(e.g. +fish or something). I could try to get access to IVEngineClient and run console commands from there.

Fishing requires manual aim, not a command. However, there is a NX item that lets you autofish...

fishin rod let's you autofish you don't need a bot for that.... you just stand there and automatically catch fish it's what people that AFK use.

Non-NX bot would have to be much like counterstrike/combatarms AimBot.

So basicly:

- edit the fish texture/model and add a unique color point at it
(alternatively change color of whole fish)
- make the bot aim the color *plus, consider the angle thing*
- make it find the fish at the boat, kill it and loot
- watch over harpoons

That might sound lame, but for me the hardest part is to find out which file contains texture of the fish....

Edit
Btw. Has anybody wireframed the Vindictus?

Texmod let's you rip textures out of games and replace them. It's detected by hackshield so find a way to hide it or bypass HS and then a pixel based bot is easy.
