1.96a Server

[sicilian]

Well, as the Report will follow I have a little wish if this version ever goes in another status.

If it's possible and doesn't take to much time please add something to the netlog feature for win32 that you can write more than one log file or to set a filesize to it.

This log is very useful but not if it runs up to hundreds of megabytes. Ok deleting it is a possible solution but not the finest and it's very bad for automated analyses.

So if you could do anything it would be very very nice!


Now back to the 1.96a Server...
Your turn

1. Report

12 digit ID was disconnected 2 times...

More will hopefully follow. Out

Also would be nice for a linux version too, as it sounds like a very good update for match servers to use, to keep out the ID changing players!

Maruk is the linux update to follow? thxs.

Ultra long IDs can still connect

Yes, they can ... but "Original games do not fade"

It can be. I am however not able to provide an exact information how to know if an ID is valid or not.

However you should know:

1) You do not need to care, as the 1.96a server should deal with them properly
2) Some ID's are certainly invalid - including any ID longer than 10 digits (this does not mean all IDs below are valid).

We had a visit by a couple of cheaters a few minutes ago. They had valid IDs which were traced back (with the help of the ESL player database where people have to enter their OFP IDs when registering) to some honest players which definitely don't cheat.

The guys connected with these fakenicknames and different user IDs a couple of times and then they crashed/hung up our server through an external attack after they left. The server application had to be shut down via remote access.

Isn't there anything that can be done about that?

Well, the server could be hardened to prevent it from being killed like that but ... you can't really prevent people from changing their IDs to valid ones of other people.

So now, the cheaters will jsut use other people's IDs instead - especially if yo uwent out and posted'em on some website, impersonation will be a /snap/.
