WARNING: Use at your own risk with CRPG. It's still working fine for me, but the CRPG devs are claiming 40 bans (and at least one person here is flipping out over losing his characters). But if you care about your account/characters on CRPG, don't use it there.
Change for 2.0c - The occasional reset of auto block in game (stops working) should be fixed. If you didn't have that problem, there's no other change *at all* so you don't need to download 2.0c.
Warband Auto Blocker
for M&B Warband v1.143, Steam and Non-Steam
Version 2.0c
Download is at the bottom of this post, please read everything before you download!
Note: If you have issues with this version, read "TROUBLESHOOTING" at the bottom of the post before downloading version 1.
Features:
Full-fledged auto-block
Toggle on/off in game to prevent detection, with sounds to verify you've turned it on or off
Auto-adjust option so you don't need to release defend and click again to change block angle
Works seamlessly with both Steam and Non-Steam versions of Warband
Status window showing whether it's attached or not
Will automatically detach from the game if you close it, and reattach if you re-open it - just run it once and you're good
To use:
Download WABv20b.zip and unzip the file to anywhere you want - preferably not in your M&B folder for obvious safety reasons. Start MBAutoBlocker-v20x.exe (I would recommend renaming it for extra safety) in admin mode then start Warband. You should notice that even at the launcher screen it's detected what version of the game you're running and has attached itself.
Make sure you start the Auto Blocker *FIRST*.
Decide whether you're going to use auto-toggle or not I would recommend against it for multiplayer, it makes it very obvious that you're using it. (It will follow every feint INSTANTLY). I'll leave the option in however, it's your ban if you want it.
Regardless of whether you check it or not, you can just start up Warband. Once at the main menu, go to Options, and make sure your blocking is set to Automatic.
Now, you can join a server. Press F7 to start it and you should hear a nice little 'CLANG' to let you know it worked. Press F8 to stop it and you should hear a little 'beep' to let you know it's off. This is useful for instant 'up-blocking', the M&B community's current preferred method of checking whether you're using this mod-app or not. So if somebody asks you to up-block, just tap F8 (BEEP!) and point upwards to block upwards, then when they're satisfied tap F7 (CLANG!) and you're back to auto blocking!
Download for 1.143 (Current):
Version 2.0c (Steam & Non-Steam)
Version 2.0b (Steam & Non-Steam)
Download for 1.134 (Old):
Version 2.0 (Steam & Non-Steam)
Troubleshooting:
This has been tested on several platforms, but if you encounter ANY issues, please try the following:
Windows Vista/7 - Make sure you run it in Admin mode (right click and run as Administrator)
Make sure you're running Warband v1.143
Make sure you're NOT running the old version 1 at the same time
If that doesn't work, please include the following in a support request via PM or a response to this post:
What version of M&B Warband you're using (version 1.xxx and Steam or Non-Steam)
Operating System (Windows XP, Vista, 7) along with 32 or 64 bit
What version of the Auto Blocker you're using (2.0, 2.0b, 2.0c)

This is really old news. First wave was 40 bans, next wave was something like 200.
I'm not even bothering to remove that link, I think the more we ban the more rewarding it feels.
Go ahead, give it a try, and say your char goodbye :D

Big ban wave on CRPG for this. Fine on native and all other modules just don't use it on CRPG.
How do the bans in this game work? Can you ban their cd-key or just their character?They do key bans. Anytime you get banned for anything, it's all of your characters. Only way to get back is with a new CD key and even then a suspicious enough dev might decide to look up IPs, as we know they track IPs as well.

Basically this isn't some MMORPG where people can cheat for months and not get caught. Good players, in particular, notice autoblockers and admins aren't that rare.
It's also not an FPS where you can aimbot and people can't really be sure if you're doing it or not -- blocking is up close and personal and a little too obvious.
Are you kidding me bro? I've been playing on the US Battle server and in the last 2 hours I already spotted two people (just from the ones I randomly spectated; I wasn't out searching for hackers) that are clearly using a block hack. Instantly blocking attacks with almost no reaction time, with no movement of either mouse or wasd in the direction of the block, and even blocking in the correct direction before the other guy has even begun his swing.
You guys haven't fixed jack shit cause clearly people are still using this hack. At the end of the day there is no automatic way to detect this hack. An admin has to spectate the player and make a judgement call, which is about the worst system of hack detection possible.
The point is, the good players in cRPG are usually known. Hell, I'm mediocre, but I'm sure a lot of people have seen me ingame.
If you're unknown to admins/good players and you suddenly start steel cage blocking, you're suspicious.

And it certainly does no good to neither to you or other players if you accuse people of hacking because you "spotted" them. There is no way to spot them 100% sure. There are known players that are autohacks themselves, and even more mediocre players manage sometimes to have a good day and block everything. Human brain can be astounding.
aw man, how did you guys find that out. Now the reason I am such an expert duelist is out in the open.
Also the whole ban business makes me think of Bladerunner lol.

So next time you keep getting owned by somebody with god-like blocking skills don't let it drag you down... they're just some goof with a hack.
Or they're just better than you.
On top of it all, auto-blocking doesn't help you against experienced players. Unless you're truly bad at blocking, and those people are few and far between.
You realize it's not based on in-game human observation, right?
wooki takes any opportunity to brag about his RO2 antics
yeh, i am the 1337est sniper ever. i once hit a guy over 2000 meters with no scope thats how leet i am

I've gotten pretty good at blocking since i have played it since the begining of crpg... im not the best though.
So you're pretty leet you would say. How leet?leet?
leet?
That's fairly leet.
How leet are you?
Unless you're truly bad at blocking, and those people are few and far between.Great, I didn't feel like enough of a loser before. Fortunate, I still have a different autoblock that nobody's ever banned me for - a shield.

That is all, good sir.
Pretty leet, almost Wooki level.
The big question is; Why would you need an auto-blocker for cRPG anyways?
Enough people suck at blocking that I think we can safely say "blocking is hard", and that's why some are tempted to use it.
The REAL question is; Why would you want to risk getting your account banned forever over something that doesn't protect you from arrows, bolts, throwing weapons, horse knockdowns, getting surprised or just plain old being ganged up on?
I could at least understand people cheating like that if this was a 100% melee game but it's too much risk for too little benefit when there are so many things it can't help you with.
The autoblock of mine is much better, but i still can't get used to it.

my auto suck is alive and well.
many people escaped the bans which just further illustrates how wide spread the usage was.
Then these hacks were posted publicly and over 250 people were banned, a SIGNIFICANT percentage of players when you take a look at how few people are actually playing cRPG or Warband. A little bit of common sense would tell you that many people escaped the bans which just further illustrates how wide spread the usage was.
Fortunate, I still have a different autoblock that nobody's ever banned me for - a shield.Win.
tl;dr: hacks are bad, mmkay.
Frequent admin presence, public knowledge of this hack, and a super small game population where word gets around has helped keep this hack under control.Yeah, that sure worked out well for native. Getting your ass banned with your looms locked up was what kept this hack under control in cRPG. They even say so in the first line line of the thread you linked. Do not use in cRPG.
I get your message that hacks can be detrimental to the game and should be taken seriously.win
Here's the message from us that you need to get.
1) A bunch of people have already been banned. Will hackers try again with different tools? Yes. Have the devs demonstrated their ability to thwart hackers and be concerned about the issue? Yes.
2) This is old news, the community has already been over this and you're just beating a dead horse.
3) Players that were banned: ~250
Good players that were banned: ~0
The players who are awesome are still around and have been through waves of autoblocker bans. That should tell you something.
Also, any official admin is not allowed to ban for suspected autoblocking, because we don't need a witchhunt here. The only thing that hurts a game more than hacks is people suspecting other people of hacking.Awesome policy.
The point is: you have no point. I'm not even sure what you were trying to achieve with that thread. So people know there's an autoblocker? Well no shit, that has been around for nearly a year. And no secret at all.
Yeah, that sure worked out well for native. Getting your ass banned with your looms locked up was what kept this hack under control in cRPG. They even say so in the first line line of the thread you linked. Do not use in cRPG.
It's sad how egotistical and arrogant the cRPG community is especially on the forum. I've been playing this mod for a while now and I've seen a few threads over that time about people suspecting hacks were being used. Every time someone made a mention of it they got trolled and flamed with comments such as "you're just a noob" or "the other guy is just better than you" or some other sumg / sarcastic reply.Funny of you to accuse others of arrogance, when you even fail to read the rather informative replies you have received to this thread, whilst spouting these "i-know-everything-better-than-you-all" misinformed posts.

At above - no one bothered to stop it, because it wasn't known that such existed.
Clearly you do a great job of reading as well since just a few posts above the creator of the mod stated everyone's known about it for a year yet action was only taken just a few short months ago once the hack was put up for public download.
