Toolkit suspension appeal

[Soreth]

Toolkit has been suspended even if it's sandboxed.
The only issue I can see with the mod is the bag generator but since it's sandboxed it shouldn't be.
If I'm missing something with the rules please inform me.

Hi Soreth,

1.: Your mod is not correctly sandboxed. Trainers like yours require the restrictive matchmaking lock based on the game version meaning if the mod is loaded you can only play with players using the same mod. Checking the lobby permissions is not sufficient as these can be changed in-game.

2.: Your mod includes a DLC unlocker which is another violation of our rules. This type of modification is not allowed under any circumstance.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer, if you have an example of the implementation for the sandboxing it could be great but I'll check what I can do for that.
For the DLCUnlcoker part it's not implemented and was only a test so I removed the file.
Best regards

Edit : is it enought if I prevent host to go back public once the game is started ? If no, what's the part of the mod that can't be used with this type of sandboxing ? ( because I saw mod with this type of sandboxing on this site that allow you to instant win some heist )

if you have an example of the implementation for the sandboxing

you can have a look at BeardLib-Editor (https://modworkshop.net/mod/16837) which has this matchmaking lock in use.

is it enought if I prevent host to go back public once the game is started

No, as this is only side of the problem. You could also start public first and then switch back to private. You would need to completely block the ability to change the lobby permissions once a game is active. There are a few things to consider so I recommend using the 1-liner with a different matchmaking key.

If we are referring to the same "instant win" mod (https://modworkshop.net/mod/27404): It only works in single player (offline).


Once the changes have been accounted for you can let me know here and I will review it again and eventually lift the suspension.

Hi, i made a quick fix to match your requirements :
"You're no longer able to switch your lobby to public once the game heist is started ( will go back to original setting of your heist ) and if you started your heist as public, you wont be able tu use the mod."
Then, could you make me the list of features considered as cheat ? That way I will only block thoses features on public lobby and prevent the lobby to go back public once one of those feature has been used.
Best regards
PS : for the mod I was referring to "https://modworkshop.net/mod/16272" lot of loud heist can be completed if we teleport to the end, we can also teleport and steal the objective then turn the lobby public again but this mod is still allowed.

Hi,

I found multiple ways of bypassing your protections. I hope you will understand that I am not eager to repeat this process once more. I advise you again to use the restrictive matchmaking lock in order to avoid these loopholes altogether. You are also more than welcome to contact us on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/Eear4JW) by using the ModMail bot where we might go into more detail about our reasoning.
