=Matt= 0 Posted July 31, 2003 with v1.90 some cheats like merged.pbo work and checkfile doesnt detect it!!!!!! Is possible to set my ded.server to allow only players with version 1.91...? i saw a command requiredVersion, but there is not a server config parameter to set... Is there something to do?

suchey 0 Posted July 31, 2003 I dont think you can set the server to require a version...however, the soon to be released patch may address this issue! (I hope) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rage_Frost 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Well their too many fishy things people can do with older ver. I recall before the 1.85 patch you had to be using the Server Ver. to even connect Why they stoped that Im sure alot of us would like to know. But I too hope that Ver.1.92 well make people have to upgrade before connecting to a server running it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted July 31, 2003 I hope so too (i hoped for the same with 1.91) but as 1.92 will be a beta patch again i doubt they will be doing it, as only a few gamer will install "beta" patches and it would be difficult to test this patch then. Hell, i would install 1.92 at once if an requiredversion for servers option would be the only thing it changes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted July 31, 2003 I think a majority of people that are really in the OFP community will install 1.92, simply because of the severity of what it fixes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toadlife 3 Posted July 31, 2003 You could edit all of the missions hosted on your server, and try putting... requiredVersion = 1.91; ....in the description.ext files. I don't know if you can put "requiredversion" in a description.ext though. It's seems to me it *might* work, since the description file is just another .cpp file.

benu 1 Posted July 31, 2003 Yeah, i can also just kick any user not using 1.91 or write a script that looks through the logfiles for players using old versions of ofp and puts them into the banfile ;) But a server option for (dis)allowing/requiring certain versions of the game would be neater...

=Matt= 0 Posted July 31, 2003 i thougth about editing the missions, or at least the most played maps...(but im lazy :P:P) what we do, it telling to ppl with 1.85/1.90 to upgrade and come back... the same we do with ppl with modified g36 and stuff (i want to believe that they changed only sounds like they say...) let's hope for this 1.92 we still have more than a year to wait for ofp2... so hear our desperate call against damn cheaters !!!

Softegg 0 Posted September 5, 2003 from the official comref: Quote[/b] ]requiredVersion version Operand types: version: String Type of returned value: Boolean Compatibility: Version 1.21 required. Description: Check if version of application is available. If not, show warning message and return false. Version format is "Major.Minor", e.g. "1.30". Example: requiredVersion "1.30" 1. the right place for requiredVersion is the init.sqs or any other script, and not description.ext. 2. sample of init.sqs with blocking <1.91-players: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> init.sqs ... ~1 ... ? !RequiredVersion "1.91" : goto "Required191" ... exit ;********************************************* #Required191 TitleCut ["","BLACK IN",10000] disableUserInput true TitleText ["OFP-Version 1.91 is required!!!\n\nPlease exit with Alt+F4!","Plain"] ~5 goto "Required191" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benu 1 Posted September 5, 2003 Update to 1.92. Only ppl using 1.92 can connect to your server then. And MP is even better than before, faster and smoother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
