Damage should be calculated by the server anyway, and clients shouldn't be able to communicate directly, so I don't understand how dmg hacks work.

I did download the mq2 source the other day so I could look at how it works, but haven't gotten around to it.
I actually found the version that is used on the current EMU. It works through applying hooks. So an application to block it would pretty much end up moving towards a hook war. Mmm, hooks.
