Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? oh yeah, make it paid, like it'll solve everything. quite possibly it will, but on the flip side, there will hardly be any players since: 1) some can't afford it. 2) some don't want to pay for games. 3) some have nothing to pay with. 

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Hi.@Orko: Since RTR originally is a free game, I won't charge for this. The server side is not build to handle accounts anyway, so if I would do that, it's currently not possible.@Dgleks: There is no Linux version of the server

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Here's an idea though it might not be very popular.Take a page from Aprone and charge for a server account. The idea being that if you have to pay for and the threat of a permanent ban may not be so appealing and thus deter

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Hi,Yeah the banning system is very rudimentary and doesn't do a whole lot. I'm glad the game caused a lot of fun. I'm surprised how well it works, given again it was my first fps and my first multiplayer project.It is a new version.

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? so: 1) since IP banning doesn't work, regardless of whether someone helps us or not, that still won't get us anywhere, kind of as I suggested. 2) Gorthalon, if that helps, it took 5 years for someone to create a game, that's worth

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? It's not much but I've taken uncle susi out of the game.I'm uploading this thing. It's huge and probably not very organized so I might have to do that at some point, but hey, let's give it a try. I should have posted this months ago

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Yeah, my thinking was a simple loop, just run it from cron or something: parse a log of IPs using the cheat, and invoke a program to ban. Obviously, if you need the client, you can't do it that way. You'd have to do it in the firewall

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? yeah, RTR's banning is super cheap. This is probably something I should have paid more attention to, but at the time it wasn't such a big deal.Honestly though, people can still play on personal servers. I don't know if it's right, but

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Yes, you need the client to send remote commands to the server. You just need to know the command and the admin password. That's all. No security involved. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=319830#p319830

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Hi all.Thanks a lot for all your comments.I have decided to close the server for the following reasons:1. Some people don't take siturations like this serious.2. I can only ban IP addresses which don't stop people.3. I can't do

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Forum mods can perform lookups by IP, so we could at least correlate. It might not be perfect though, agreed. But that still allows the server op to filter packets from the IP, and ban whatever player has that IP.How do you send

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? RTR already logs the IP, so he can just ban it. the issue is, we just have a nickname on RTR. so say, my user ID over here is braille0109. on RTR, I may go by stranger. the user ID could be entirely different from the actual nickname,

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? Normaly, you are not supposed to be able to use the weapon if cheating is disabled, which of course makes sense, but that is a bug. /team uncle susi allows you to get it even when cheating is disabled. People have done that to me a

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? In all seriousness, that's the problem when you have multiple servers, rather than a central or a lone server. People are going to make their own servers, and until that is fixed, people will cheat. I wonder why that command existed

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters?

Re: My Road to rage server: How to handle the cheaters? I believe that the only real way to deal with the cheaters is to try to get the game's developer to fix the bug that the cheaters are exploiting.Beyond that, treat the cheaters the same way Steam does, if you are caught cheating, you
