I think a lot of people read LUA and, given a brief stint of research in the topic with Payday 2, immediately deduce that any usage of it is malicious. This isn't the case.

Indeed, common knowledge just goes right out the window on this subject. It's almost like we've have forgotten that a lot of todays most popular games have a lot of mods and some are even mods of other games. (Counter Strike, Dota, League of Legends, etc.)

You have too many gamers who have little to no knowledge of even the basic concept and too little programmers and developers working on and testing this. Plus, the hackers at Unkowncheats have noticed this. They have some people applying for the beta to analyze and crack this anti-hack compilation. Basically Trojans (not the condoms) are infecting your tester pool. Might want to watch out for those, if the professional cheating community gets their hands on this early on, you have a big problem. They will root this out before you have finished it. They also do not see it as a problem. I trust you will change that in time. (Source at bottom)

I also know that is tightening what can be done with LUA's to limit the influence cheaters can have on games, and many commands seem to be host only. Looks like this might function well only if you are the host of a game. Otherwise it may track stats and alert you of a hacker, but not limit or prevent hacking. I have not watched any livestreams, so this is a prediction from previous experiences and what I have read on these pages.

I also have a minor contribution if you are interested. It is a simple lua that assigns an unobtrusive character to every player's username, so that they can be kicked even if they have an anti-kick script active or have no username at all. Much like a name spoofer that cheaters use, except with some consistency involved. I experiment with lua's in this game, and have a personal anti-hack lua that can remove loot bags, reduce final payday amount (requires a bit of in-game lua CLI), kick anyone (If host), and manage unexperenced hackers (the majority of whom you see) with much ease. Saddly, most of these require in-game lua CLI work, so it is not suited your target audience as a whole.

I wonder how this will turn out, and wish the Dev's luck.

Since overkill made their new patch with anti-cheat function, can you be named a cheater for using hox hud?

Nope.

Currently the only cheats that will mark you are:
Placing more deployables than the normal game allows.
Spawning in bags.
Carrying more than one bag.

When will it be available for all players?
Will it be always free?
Are there additional features planned?

PS This looks awesome, thank you devs!

Need to put in how often people are accepted into these "Cloased betas" because I'm still waiting.......
