Hello,

Nice addon, and congrats on the release. But I am missing something here.

Doesn't equalModRequired = 1; now used instead verifySignatures = 1;

located in the server.cfg basically do the same thing on the server?

No ,equalModRequired means you have to be running the exact same mods as the server.

verifySignatures means you can only run mods that the server allows

eg the server could have all the keys of every addon on it except ACE

so if you joined with ACE running you'll get kicked. :cool:

Edit:- just got up so think i got that right :D

equalModRequired = 1; Outdated - replaced by verifySignatures! Only use if you really understand what it does.

Clients require the exact same modfolder naming, order and amount as the server. 1 means active, 0 disabled.

This description is outdated. It seems the game calculates hashes per modfolder now.

Dwarden/someone from BI should clarify how equalModRequired works in OA 1.59.
