Carlos Averett <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: CheatWorld
System name: cheatworld
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
The goal of CheatWorld would be to create a version of the GPL \"QuakeWorld\" 
(www.quakeworld.net) program released by Id Software (www.idsoftware.com) 
designed specifically to give advantages to the users of the client, and 
unavailable to others who had not made similar modifications to their client.   
A great deal of this program has already been done by myself, including
- Autoaim (stealth)
- Reverse/Anti-Gravity
- Glowing Players
- Proximity Alarms
- Scripting for death, message hooks
- Better messages, with the ability to script common values (health,ammo,etc).
- Remote Camera
- Out of body scouting
- Maphacks
- Ability to have transparent water even when the server admin turns it off.
- Builtin MP3 support
- Multiple monitor support
- Client to client (not through server) messages
- Cool spinning console
- Better text editing
- WAY better sound quality
- Better graphics / particle effects

- Legit Mode (running it without -cheats on the command line)

These are all implemented in such as a way as to be undetectable, with 
activation commands available only through the console and not remotly sent.

Other Comments:
While many people don\'t approve of the \"cheating\" world, I still firmly 
believe in releasing my work, as a way of giving back, as many of my 
enhancements have non-cheating uses.  Also, this client has a rather funny 
origin.  I was one of the developers for the CustomTF QuakeWorld mod.  We were 
having problems with cheaters, and so I decided to first make the \"best\" 
hacked client out there, and then stop it.  Well, I stopped it, and made my 
client better.  Stopped it again, and then discovered how to make a practically 
unbeatable client.  So, I decided to make my own server daemon, complete with 
votekick.  That is where the control should be, in the hands of the players.  
In the mean time, I have a client with a lot of useful features, and removing 
the cheats would lessen the client.  Personally, I play without the -cheats 
command line option, because of the improved sound and graphics, but sometimes 
its nice to have a cheat war.
