Addon Blocker - Mod Blocker

[A-SUICIDAL 11]

I have Combined Operations, but I prefer to make missions that only require Operation Arrowhead to be installed and no addons required. When I host a mission, I have often seen a player join and then start to use hacks and do all kinds of weird shit. Is there any way I can block players from joining if they are running any addons or mods? If you don't know of any way to block addons or mods, then please do not reply. I'm looking for helpful info.

Thanks in advance.

:banghead:

Are the threads here on BI forums that bad?

Not counting this completely unrelated post, you will find VERY few posts in scripting and editing section that have no relevant info or addition to the OP topic.

Your attitude seems way off for what this community is, just saying.

*back on topic*

Now I have an attitude? How so? I'm a really nice guy. Just because I asked for helpful info only, doesn't mean that my attitude is "way off for this community" as you described. I'm sorry if it came off that way. I'm looking for help with something and I would prefer that this thread didn't turn into a discussion about how "all games have cheaters" and "what's the problem with players that use addons and mods". I'll try to be more happy and fun loving and gay just for you demonized. lol Mr.Sensitive.

PuFu gave you the answer, check the link. Make a server.cfg, add use "verifySignatures", dont add any keys in your keys folder and nobody with any custom addon can join your server.

This forum is very helpfull, you just have to search. Dont let others do the searching for you as there are numerous topics about this.

Additonally there is battleye and also doolittle's anti-cheat to prevent people who feel the need to wreck other peoples games from joining.

As this has nothing to do with mission making/editing but its related to multiplayer it belongs in the multiplayer section.

I don't have a dedicated a server. If I host from my pc, is it possible to use this somehow?

equalModRequired = 1;

Would adding this line into the description.ext of a mission work? If not, how would I be able to make it work?

Didnt I just tell you to create a server.cfg? Make it, put it in your root and it should work to my knowledge. It does not matter you dont have a dedi.

I think you also have to add the -config=server.cfg in your shortcut. That way the game knows to read it

I forgot to refresh the page. Otherwise I would have read what you said to do. I'm trying it now.

Thanks guys. At least I'm heading in the right direction now. I'll keep further questions regarding this in the other forum since this is not really mission editing stuff, although I started out thinking that it might be something I needed to script into my missions. lol.

Good to hear your on the right track but there is no need for you to start a new topic for this, its moved to the correct section so just continue here :)
