Just installed on my server

btw, am I the only one who posts the names of cheaters on their server news?

#creatures - 24/7 server

There is not enough room to post them on on the Elite server news.

Not only is there not enough space, but certainly that space should be dedicated to the server and to the individuals that make it a fun place to be. I try to list the names of event winners, top duelers, good role players, people who deserve to be mentioned. I spend enough time on the losers without having to remember their names . . .

2 tru.. but let me know how u get on with the mod

I'll preface this with one statement: I should have known better
Installed this anti cheat mod two days ago. For the past two days the Nomads have been all whacked out, neutral for some people, doing no damage, not dropping weapons when they should, etc. This has remained an issue through 4 scheduled program restarts and two unscheduled server reboots, just to make sure it was this mod causing it. I've rolled back the Freelancer game files (not the user accounts) to the backup of the system directly prior to applying this anti-cheat mod, and all is right with the world. What this means is, on an extremely stable unmodded never lost data crashes maybe once every two weeks meticulously maintained server, that jun ain't happen'n.

Is there any way to harvest IP's from players??

Start publishing the IP's of cheaters, admins will have a lot more control over the stability and fairness of their servers.

Just make sure your server description has "READ ME FIRST" at the start followed by the disclaimer about IP harvesting and sharing to cover your butts.

Note: I am not currently a server host or admin, but have hosted others in the past, and am just as sick of cheaters as the rest of us.

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

To get the IP would require you to be physically At the PC or at least having full remote access to the PC as you would need to run a port activity utility. So that when players are kicked, then taking note of the IP kicked.

But problems with that, you could Get someone harmless that had disconnected at the exact same time as your kick or ban. So you would have to kick the player a number of times to verify the IP. Second, the IP's are no longer static for DSL/cable with most ISP's. They could easily avoid an IP block on your fire wall. So only 100% method is if DA makes the ban included the Online userID which is unique.

Thanks for this tool

Because of you and Akataka, I decided to bring back online my server, and I am now able to run it without having to watch it 24/7. This has really helped.

Keep up the good work, and may the white hats win this one.

This anticheat has ruined the stability of the Browclops server. Browclops has been hacked, and it may have been because of this program.

What do you mean by hacked?

And this aint a program.

Falcon,
There is nothing tying the anti-cheat mod to the server getting hacked. It did cause the nomads to flip out in the first version, and caused ungodly instability in the second version, but that is the extent of it. The break in occurred two days before I applied version one of the mod, so it could not have been the mod doing it.

Yea, I was getting massive stability issues last night, I have removed the mod to see if this was the cause of the stability issues
