A question concerning a program
I've coded a small program that goes through all the running processes and checks them against a list of prohibited programs. If none of them are found, it runs Combat Arms. If one of them is found, the program will tell the user to close the program and exit.
The idea of the program was to prevent accidental bans by the enhanced server logs, as it's known on the CA EU community. By accidental bans I mean bans that are caused because the user, for example, hacks in a single player game with Cheat Engine and forgets to close it before running CA. Or the user hacks in a Facebook game with Autoclick and isn't aware that running it together with CA is bannable.
The community, however, didn't really appreciate my work and called me a virus creator. So now I'm looking for different audiences.
The uses for this community that I have come up with so far are these:
- You could play safely with your real account without fear of leaving a bannable program running in the background
- Modders don't need their tools running when the game starts. So this program could make sure that none of them are running when the game starts. I think at least some of them are bannable.
So what do you guys think? Would anyone have use for such program? The list of programs is easy to modify yourself if you want to add or remove programs. And I have planned some more advanced features too (like a memory scanner that would be able to detect programs that are able to modify their process name) but I won't be implementing any of them if no one ever uses the program.
