Legit wallhack via console commands (being abused for weeks)

[prettygrosska]

I want to report an issue that has been actively abused for at least a week now.

There is a set of console commands that effectively allows players to get a “legit” wallhack - enemies become visible through walls under certain conditions (using minion/teammate vision combined with glow/outline settings).

Here are the commands:

r_citadel_selection_outline2_alpha 255
citadel_player_outline_fade_range_min inf
citadel_player_outline_fade_range_max inf
r_citadel_selection_outline2_fade_pow 0
citadel_player_outline_enemies 1
citadel_player_outline_allies 0
citadel_player_outline_fade_at_min 0
citadel_player_glow_from_teammate_vision_max_range inf
citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat true
citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat_linger inf
r_citadel_see_thru_walls_opacity 1

This provides a major unfair advantage and breaks competitive integrity.
There have been micro-updates released yesterday and today, but there has still been no response or fix for this issue.

Right now, this functions as a widely abused “legit cheat”.

Wow that's nuts

Is it possible to use a combination of these commands to get the outlines, but **without** being able to see through walls? I like the outlines, I obviously do not want to cheat

a bit of testing: doing the following gets 90% of the way there, enemies in vision have the outline, but you can't see through walls. The only issue is some minions, for some reason, can be seen through walls. If anyone knows how to disable the highlights on minions, lemme know. (commands with // are disabled, those ones are the ones that cause being able to see through walls, so the ones devs need to address). Tested this in bot matches, obviously. Removing it for now unless I can figure out how to make minions not show through walls

r_citadel_selection_outline2_alpha 255
citadel_player_outline_fade_range_min inf
//citadel_player_outline_fade_range_max inf
//r_citadel_selection_outline2_fade_pow 0
citadel_player_outline_enemies 1
citadel_player_outline_allies 0
citadel_player_outline_fade_at_min 0
//citadel_player_glow_from_teammate_vision_max_range inf
//citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat true
//citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat_linger inf
//r_citadel_see_thru_walls_opacity 1

Я подготовил аналогичный отчет, чтобы поддержать скорейшее решение этой проблемы.

Super, that explain a lot of things now... Love to see abuses like that. Now i m gonna abuse my right to not encourage this behavior, right !

Still unfixed. Just came across 3 players using it in one game. Uninstalling.

 

[Aminsx]

Looks like they forgot to put them behind an sv_cheat

I mean it kinda change noting in most games, especially high lobbies, but still annoying as you can t go for sneaky plays. So yeah, frustration is understandable.

 

[prettygrosska]

still work.

 

[werephantomsin15]

bump, this needs to be hotfixed immediately.

r_citadel_selection_outline2_alpha 255
citadel_player_outline_fade_range_min inf
citadel_player_outline_enemies 1
citadel_player_outline_allies 0
citadel_player_outline_fade_at_min 0

Using *only* the commands above, you get a nice outline that *doesn't* wallhack. You see minions the same way as you do without any modifications(except they also get an outline). I would personally use the above, as I prefer games when enemies have outlines, it helps keep track of enemies when there's a ton of effects on screen. All of the above commands are "safe".

For the wallhack part...devs need to disable the following commands to remove the wallhack portion:

citadel_player_outline_fade_range_max inf
r_citadel_selection_outline2_fade_pow 0
citadel_player_glow_from_teammate_vision_max_range inf
citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat true
citadel_player_glow_when_in_combat_linger inf
r_citadel_see_thru_walls_opacity 1

Any of these will result in some form of wallhack, all of them combine makes it basically a perma map-wide wallhack (tested in bot matches only, ofc).

Last time this was posted the person made sure not to include the values so people couldn't copy it.

they should just get rid of convars and increase the fov slider and disable fog

If there is the value, there will be more peoples who used it, then more complains, then some changes !

Like, if the system is broken, abuse it. What are they gonna do, ban everybody? We reported it, you ignored, we used it then.

 

[prettygrosska]

I want to report that after modifying ConVars, they still work in Street Brawl mode

Can y'all test if it's still working? The game just told me my gameinfo.gi was corrupted, so I assume they changed something with that
