Thanks for the warning Reynen.

Just downloaded it, I'll leave it where it is.
Sounds like a quick and dirty patch release to me if it just checks standard files.

Check out what I'm doing for Reynen's Mod @ my website!

works fine with the rebalance mod...

But can ppl join your server? I hosted a server with the mod and the patch and noone could join. T_T

I've had 20 or so people playing over the past 24hrs on my ReynenMod server. It crashed twice, but that was always when someone was joining (same person both times)

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough,

You can RUN a server with the patch, however whenver someone joins and they are not running the original files one of two things will happen.

1: The server will crash
2: It will kick the user saying they were cheating.

For those of you who PATCH WITH A MOD ALREADY INSTALLED. You should be fine.

Example: You install Reynenmod206b and then install the patch.
You will sometimes experience the problems above, but the mod will run.

It seems the patch "locks" whatever files are present when you install the patch and uses those files as a reference to check against.

Squal and Server I will be emailing you guys, I would like more information about how you did this.

Um king,

Please don't use caps and check you keyboard please...

It is a standard fact that when you run mods, both the server and client must have the same files for the game to work properly. That is not the issue here. Granted the patch detects cheaters, but it is interferring with mod making itself. If you have to install a mod and then patch the game each time that is going to get rather annoying, ESPECIALLY for those mods that use the DLL's that the patch OVERWRITES.

Check your facts before telling me I am wrong. I've done my research and can backup what I say. I also happen to be one of the most knowledgeable people here on how freelancer works, so I know what I am talking about.

If you say the patch works just fine then you are in a small minority.

You say to email all the players...that's fine if you have like 20 people, but i have literally THOUSANDS who play my mod...I can't email ALL of them. I would get gagged for spam.

This is also not a place to advertise, this is thread to find a solution to the problem.

how do you uninstall the patch once you have installed it because i want install some mods.

Thanks for any help.

IF AT FIRST YOU DONT SUCCED CHEAT. CHEAT UNTILL CAUGHT THEN DENY IT.

If you didn't make a backup then you are pretty much screwed. LUCKLY I have made a backup of the original DLL's and EXE files.

Download, here. 1.7MB

Unzip and copy all the files into where you installed the game

" huh? Guaranteed If i ever see you on my server you'll be banned ina millisecond. Cheating or not.

Squall, that kind of ignorant comment is why some people barely have the privelage of owning a PC, let alone getting online. Just because he has a sig that could very well be a joke doesnt mean yuo have the right to up and ban him for it without cause. I feel sorry for anyone who plays on your server.
