The long awaited DMW 3 Scanner is finally here as a first Alpha release. Compared to the DMW 2 Scanner series, the DMW 3 Scanner feels, handles and performs differently to the Scanners you have been used to so far.
DMW 3 Alpha Release
Features
A brief list of new features in the scanner to give you a very basic idea of what this program is capable of:
* Integrated PimpKey Technology (Identifying Players with unique names) which will achieve full visibility of everything regarding people playing on your server.
* Global Banning System from any and all DMW scanned servers for people caught cheating.
* Public ban lists (listing who has been caught cheating with whilst using DMW).
* Automatic cheat protection, live updates to your scanner (as well as your client) that will
combat any new cheats.
* Instant feedback and technical support.
* Multiple server control for up to 64 servers capable of handling different games and/or game-types.
* Remote Access Via web interface
* Reporting of invalid files straight to the DMW world database where they are queued for verification.
* Updated server information on new supported files / patches.
* Player Information Centre giving background info of people that have played on your servers.
* Full Server admin / Rcon support to control your server with a mouse-click.
Planning
The short term plan to get a full working program is an improvement on the first Alpha release which is already being used by a selection of MoH:AA and MoH:SH clans with an aim of fixing any new issues that may arise. At this stage not all features will be working yet; the first objective will be to establish a working platform, and implement new features into it from that working platform. This will be a continuous process lasting a few weeks of full-scale testing and upgrading. Why we have chosen this method of alpha-testing is to allow us to interact live with the testers, having real-time customer feedback and allow us to fix any issues at the moment they are discovered. This will be the best way of getting it right in the shortest possible amount of time.
Shortly after this stage, when the Scanner hits its first full release, a subscription system will be implemented enabling you to get your hands on the DMW 3 Scanner. Licenses for DMW 3 Scanner will be issued to a clan, enabling them to control all the servers this clan owns. The license will be valid for a 12 month period.
Development Status Report
The last few weeks have seen a tremendous amount of progress made with regard to Cheat Protection. A team of developers have been continuously trying to find breaches in the program with a view to exploiting the breach. As soon as such as breach has been identified, it was immediately fixed, updated, and the process started all over again.
The Forced-Screenshot system has been remade from scratch in a completely new way which is at present invulnerable to bypass-attempts. Improvements to the Forced-Screenshot technology will be an ongoing task to ensure future protection.
In addition, other developers have been carrying out major improvements on the website which plays a big role for the DMW Software; the website will interact closely with the Scanners and Clients, validating data integrity which makes hacking of the software impossible. It will also log Scanner and Client activity to double-check everything is running correctly. In addition, the website will provide a wealth of information about individual players and clans, as well as an extensive database with all information about any cheat out there you could run into, so you know exactly what you are up against, and what DMW actually protects you from!
