Admin Screengrab (all servers) - Ruby - 04-28-2023

We all know PH & TTT have a lot of hackers. I've noticed that in pretty much all of the hacking evidence, admins have to go over (mostly) long videos to see if a reported player is hacking or sit in spectator mode in-game to watch the supposed hacker. That's quite time consuming & honestly not very efficient. Can't imagine that it's very fun for the staff either.

That's why i'd like to suggest either one of these 2 addons to make capturing cheaters much easier. I've had it & used it on all the servers i've been staff/co-owner on. It's a screengrab command that allows staff to see what the screengrabbed player sees on their screen. So if they're using ESP and have all players outlined, staff will instantly see this using the command & be able to give out the appropriate punishment. Or if they happen to have a cheat menu open on screen, the staff will also see that.

Only downside in my opinion is the fact that when steam overlay is active at the time of the screengrab, it will show the overlay & any chats that might be open. Maybe this has been changed since the last time i used it, idk.

We already have a screengrab function. Problem is some cheats have an anti-screengrab feature that completely negates it. In these cases, video evidence is crucial.

As Laced said, we have the ability to grab screens, but we don't advertise this fact. You typically don't see ban requests with these screen grabs because if someone is caught hacking with a screen grab, we just ban them. No point in a ban request because it really is a binary not hacking/hacking situation.

Used it plenty of times when I was mod, the cheap and shitty hacks are hilarious. IIRC someone actually appealed a ban with that one time and deleted the thread when called out on that.

Also sometimes videos show the funniest hacks. Like this one around the 1 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebvjMlTwMj0
