Garry’s Mod catches hackers the fun way

[Rouik]

Since when was $10 a lot of money?
I mean, before the age of 10, I can understand, but psh.

You should always buy games. You lose out on so much with cracked versions on top of the fact you have a fake copy.

[nikomo]

They can't afford 10 fucking bucks?

I forked over my money when Orange Box came.
I forked over my money when GMod came (on release day, hell. I didn't even have a fucking bank account that could have been used to pay it so I got my big brother to pay for it and paid him in cash).
I forked over my money when all the Steam sales have come.

And I get 45€ a month.

I can understand pirating GMod for demo purposes, but if you're actually playing it, fork over the god damn dosh, it's only 10 bucks.

(Garry should totally make some sort of restricted demo-version, would help with popularity a bit)

Garry got on Slashdot.

His life is now complete.

After Slashdot has an article on you, you have completed life. There is nothing past that.

[QUOTE=Omali;29141322]Should also forward the SteamID to Valve so they can disable the account. Unless I read it wrong and he already does...[/QUOTE]

They won't ban anyone.

I like how there's loads of pirates trying to protect themselves in a massive flame-war on that page

[FlapadarV2]

[lua] for k , v in ipairs(_G) do -- Lua error dump.
_G[k] = nil
end

setmetatable(_G, {__newindex = function(t,k,v) end})
setmetatable(_R, {__newindex = function(t,k,v) end})

timer.Create(RandomString(10) , 10 , 0 , function()
local key = ""

for k , v in pairs(_R) do
if math.random(0,table.Count(_R)) == 23 then
key = k
break
end
end

_R[key] = nil
end )[/lua]

This is the fun way to deal with cheaters.

While freezing their mouse and fullscreening meatspin on them.

Rated dumb by garry. Got news for you bro, VAC doesn't detect 90% of the injecting cheaters that come into my server.

[SexyDergon]

It's funny how all the pirates are flipping off Garry and saying stuff like "This is illegal"

[Sirdrone536]

I would of settled for a screamer

So how does one shade them polygon normals?

Clever girl Garry...

Devs should learn a thing or 2.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;29136268]How exactly does this work when pirates never update their copies?[/QUOTE]

Its for the people who have pac-steam/cracked steam. You don't require to validate to download all the source related content

[QUOTE=Number-41;29146650]So how does one shade them polygon normals?[/QUOTE]

one doesn't pirate Garry's Mod for one thing

PaCSteam was actually quite useful when offline mode didn't work that well.

[QUOTE=Overv;29147364]PaCSteam was actually quite useful when offline mode didn't work that well.[/QUOTE]

Well it's been getting better, but it's still not working 100% like it should.
Steam offline mode that is.

[Somebody_404]

>Just another lesson on why piracy is bad, supporting indie developers is good, and why you shouldn’t mess with the nerds.

Haha, Garry is a nerd.

[mikfoz]

Heh too fucking funny.

Ten dollars buys a lot of KFC ffs.

[RivaGe]

So that's why my game isn't working.

[smidge146]

This is awesome! I saw a thread in the Garrys mod section about someone trying to sort it out, so I'm guessing he won't be playing gmod again lol

[Gook Nukem]

[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;29141146]I had no idea about this, but when I checked the Popular Threads page, I was quite clueless when I saw this:

It's a friends request notification.

[Lordgeorge16]

I suddenly don't hate you for going on a berserk ban/forum change rampage earlier this year. Good job!

[wakeboarderCWB]

You're amazing! This was really funny to read. So glad you caught them, they don't deserve to play GMod.

It's a friend request, you wouldn't need to know anything about those.
