<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:firebrick'>Official Release of OFPSentry Anti Cheat System</span></span>. Upcomming developments brought by well known cheaters have brought me to the dicision to release the latest version of OFPSentry to the public. It hasn't the state I expected at release but propably it is a nice feature for all of us! The idea was to prevent actual and future cheats with a external tool which is acting as a sentry for the OFP main application. The OFPSentry is a client server based application which constantly checks your OFP for modifications and observes external programs. If a running program is detected which is able to modify OFP in a cheating way the Sentry will stop the application and send a report to a Sentry server module. Upcomming results will be logged in a server logfile and written to a daily xml output. The xml shows the player name, date, time, ip, and the result of the player's Sentry client. This xml file can be uploaded automatically or manually to any ftp server out there. The sense in that is to show the public that you play fair! Anyone can open the URL where the xml is stored and see what's going on there. Who got which result, who is using a cheat and possibly which one... The results are divided into attention levels from 0 to 5. But it's recommended not to accept any attention level except 0 at all on the server! Read the whole thing on the official explanation site! Watch out -> http://www.ofpsentry.de.vu Generally use at your own risk and expect updates.

No, you did all right! The cheat you talk about is a local one. It cannot be detected by any script in the world because this f***ng thing works in memory loaded on your machine! ARMAAC is only detecting changes in configs which is also be done by "verifySignatures=1;".... ARMAAC is a little protection for configs until the signatureTool for addon makers comes out. Don't expect too much...

So it's better to put someone in prison until his innocence is proven... So first everyone is guilty! Â - nice world - You forgot the timeout happened inside the check procedure...

The default behavior after a time out should never be a kick! Instead there should be another event "onUncheckedData" or "onTimedOutCheck" where we can decide wether to start a second check or what ever we want.... and we dont have to forget that the player will be checked during the game again!

Has anyone found the "global script folder" yet???

Same on me as long as you can't enable verifySignatures because of using mods... but this currently the only situation where this addon makes sense.

Before I vote, I want to know how your addon works what script is included? Where can I get it? Does it really work?

verifySignatures=1; should be enough for your example to kick the player... I would guess trying it again with verifySignatures=0; and try each event alone not all together to know which of them has been fired!

So on a server machine it should be with in the user folder of the user which is starting the server....

As stated in the Wiki it searches here: But wth is the global scripts folder?

Just use different ports (to fullfill salisans thought) server.exe -port=2302 server.exe -port=2306

Are you sure parameters are correctly passed to the server.exe then? Please post the call which you are using to start the server.

Please post a copy of your server.cfg and description.ext Make sure you didn't make a mistake like here persistent=1;

Do you see your welcome message if you connect to this DAL30? btw "3rdPersonView=2; // 1 cadetto - 2 veterano" won't do anything as this option doesn't exist afaik.

[..] To effectively combat cheating, the server must be made to check certain things, especially such things that should be impossible. For example: the heaviest weapon in the game is the laser guided bomb of the Harrier, with a damage of 5000 Â and an explosion radius of 15 meters.[..] You mixed up two different things here! One is mentioned by Anth and partly could only be checked by the client itself because not everything is transmitted to the server such as the breathing thing or if your grass is there or not... These things can only be stopped via client side checks!!! On the other hand there are these addon "hacks" which AT THE MOMENT let you be a super warrior with super weapons and some other shit. BUT this has already been encountered by the signature system!!! The only problem is that currently the system is unusable because of corrupted signatures provided with the game and the non published signature tool. But if we are able to use this at the end it is the most secure system against addon hacks like shooting bombs or change configs!!!! The "only" problem which is left then are the client side 3rd party Hacks (wallhack etc. outside of arma)...

There is definetly a high need on doing some local checks on the client like PB does. The signature system is a very high secure protection against any unauthorized addon or config changes. But... protection of the local memory image isn't that good as the memory hacks show. For us there is no way to check those things with the implemented methods. That's why we need any third party or BI solution to check local changes! My vote goes to PB.

yes, that's what he meant. Refer to the BIKI -> http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg

-server command is only for running a server from the client machine with your arma.exe! The dedicated server exe doesn't need it, as well as the -nosplash param because dedicated server doesn't have any splash screen... @satcoml Your problem is your server.cfg... To start missions directly see the ClassMissions part as you already have in your .cfg. Refer to the readme to get how it works...

@Suma Is this your will? Or is it a "bug" in this early version?

Maybe try starting the game normally and set the difficulty options for cadet and vet the same, then exit and run the dedicated server?? Worth a try maybe, until someone has sussed out if there is an entry that can be added to any of the *cfg files. Try to find the entry in the user.cfg if it already exists in ArmA... Should be located somewhere in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\ArmA, too. But not sure...

You also need following folders incl. subfolders: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">dta users worlds

simple answer: sockets

Ok, here is the map http://alsr.djknuffel.de/ The clicks will be recorded 30 days... Â Click your positions...!!!

As one can read, you solved your problem... don't use "server start". Or is there any problem left? @killswitch you are getting my favorite linux admin since benu is inactive.

Thats quite nice! Is anyone able to rebuild this with the BI pic?
