Are *plant*.pbo files from A2F/RFT/CO the same?

[Zatan13th 10]

Since removing trees pbo files can made almost like using wallhack, I banned a lot of them from my servers.

However, some of them claimed they are not removed the files. They said it is just mismatched version or wrong file sizes (some of them used A2F contents).

Can anyone confirmed me which all of arma 2 versions use the same *plant*.pbos?

Same in what way? They are certainly different in size and hash.

However the sign system already takes care of it. Why do you not use it? Or something ontop?

Pvpscene,

Even I use checkfiles and regularcheck, they still can making a connection to the server and playing without any problem. No Warning. No Kick.

I can say both functions are not good as I thought.

You can see here

This is the log from 0:00 9/26 to 1:41 9/27

ps. and YES the signature check is, 2, the strongest level.

Post your server.cfg.

It can take some seconds depending the server loading until regularCheck completes.

You are using checkFiles wrong. To check the whole pbo is a very bad idea for many reasons.

It can only be used to detect if one has the pbo at all or not. One checks for a file inside the pbo like

checkfiles[]={"a10\config.bin"};

As not all BI pbos have a config, you need to check for another small file in those without one.

See also: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg (for checkfiles info)

If your server is correctly configured, but one can still last there for a longer time without all pbos,

BI will be very interest to get a reliable repro from you (via PM/mail).

here is my server config.

as for checkFiles, I followed here:

sorry the guy has no (real) insight. it is up to you to consider my advice.

the problem with checkFile is this I believe:

onDifferentData = "";

+

onDifferentData - ... no longer supported in Arma 2 OA 95232)

:/

The actual question is why regularCheck does not work at all or after a too long delay for you. So please do this:
