This page will speak about the risk and capabilities to cheat in tremulous.
We can see the vote on sv_pure.
Overview
DaTosstt think we have 3 kind of players :
1) players that will never try to cheat, just play.
2) players that are big cheater (coders, etc) we use custom patch
The client limitations will never stop this kind of cheaters because they can get the source code anderstand and they always will able to find a way to bypass the check (on the client side). We can not figth under them.
3) players that are not coder but try to cheat (only capable to download cheat-client or cheat qvm and try to run it)
But client limitation will recude the number of cheat sucess of the kind-cheater (3), the question is "Is the sv_pure is usefull for that ?"
Rebuttal: The coders will give the non-coders a custom client that automatically bypasses sv_pure. If (3) know how to download it, then they already have a client that bypasses pure.
Conclusion :
" The only "utilité" of the anti-cheat system is limiting the third kind of cheater.
If the system is enougth difficult to bypass we will get less cheater than if we don't have anti-cheater system at all. " DaTosstt
