What do you think is best AntiCheat

Thu Jul 29, 2004 1:46 am by Mr Skizm

I think that IONCROSS by JoeBoomz is the best. I give credit out to Joe.
I had a hard time managing FLCD by Niwo. It just completely lost me. Then I found out about IONCROSS so I downloaded it,it was so easy to use and is written in VB so even noobs could use it, like me. hehe
PS: If anybody thinks that FLCD by Niwo is better, tell me how to use it plz.

I think the best way to stop cheaters, is to camp them.

Have some server police around to feed on the modders. After 15mins of not even being able to get 500m from the dock, the modders will leave.

They DONT come back

or ban them for a few weeks... works also for some servers

I think it's a little bit of everything.
- First it's the FL patch v1.1.
- Then there is a server-side mod like Lancerguard. Prevents certain not allowed equipment from having any effect or a lesser effect.
- IFSO rounds out forbidding what can and cannot be carried plus rude character names out of the game. Either kicks and bans can be the punishment.
- Next there is FLAC for the fleeting or persistant cheaters where it's lag kicks plus EXTENSIVE connect information (links IP address at the time logged in to the character name and account directory) allows you to follow their trails easily.
- Lastly there are my Server Deputies (SDs) that watch in their many other characters as well as their SD characters. They can exercise kick control over cheaters caught in the act and utilize a Cheater's Alliance (all RPG rules are null and void, only server rules stand) to isolate the cheaters.

Each have their contribution to preventing and dealing with cheaters. Each should be considered. Overall it isn't 100% effective but we have come a long way from the early days of a hosting a server where cheaters had their way. From what I have seen it is rare today.

I'm the best anticheat! By cheating I kill them in a modded ship, and then ban them with Ioncross!

There's ways to curtail the IP swtiches too.
