[shroob]

Hello,

My friend just bought CSource and when trying to play, it says 'Detox Error' when he tries to play a server, any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks

Here's some news in the CS World! It's about time! I guess the folks over at Steambans have put together one of the first anti-cheats for Counter-Strike Source. I haven't used it yet so I can't give to much information on it, but the reviews from the 50+ comments on there site sound good!
We are proud to announce one of the first anticheats for Counter-Strike Source, called Steambans Detox. The main purpose of this plugin is to provide server admins and players with a better overall protection against cheats and cvar hacks.
Update: Detox does not affect VAC in any way.

What does it do?
Detox provides the following features for version 1.0:

1) A successor to CVAR-X. It will differ in functionality to cvarx where cvarx just reverted and aliased out certain cvars, Detox will have the ability to actually retrieve values for each cvar it checks and kick/ban the offending player for a certain duration based on the exploitability of the cvar.
2) Anti-Wallhack built-in which automatically blocks all kinds of wallhacks known for Source.
3) Anti-Radar hack which makes sure people cannot use radar hacks to see the opposite team.
4) Consistency checks for materials and sounds
5) Auto update feature: one of the very first plugins that is able to automatically update itself with the latest algorithms to recognise the latest cvar- and wall hacks.

What do I need?
SteamBans Detox Anti-Cheat (SBDTX) currently only supports Counter-Strike Source. It has not been tested on any other mods. More mods will be added very soon!

You only need to have Counter-Strike Source running and on top of that Metamod: Source, which is an API manager and interception handler that sits in between the Half-Life 2 Engine (Source) and a subsequent Game Modification (MOD).

Where can I get it?
You can download Detox for free from www.steambans.com
