To prevent cheats, perhaps have a hash file check on all files used while playing mp, and get a check from all players as well at the start of the game. If they dont match the stock version or hosts version then a message should be able to pop up saying "client version does not match hosts version" or something to that effect.

i cant figure out how to edit the file to make the difficulty change i downloaded a editor but when it comes up it says its a readme only...and i didnt do it while running the game or nothing.....its saved in local disk c....and everytime i try to edit and save it wont let me

it's a MS Vista problem. The OS sees .ini files as important system files and doesn't let you alter them unless you deactivate the system file security setting in Windows Explorer. .ini files once actually were important operating system files for Windows 3.11, 95 and 98 .
