At this point most of you admins realize how pointless it is to ban an ID. For those of you who dont believe ID changers exist for 1.96, you are wrong I have found one. I have also found all sorts of screwed up little tools the BIS has done nothing to combat or prevent. The only true way to stop these bastards is to block IP addresses or entire IP subnet ranges. I suggest if you have a dedicated server you invest in some firewall software or firewall hardware, you can use NAT to restrict IPs for Windows 2003. Start the OFP server with the -netlog command to log everything coming into your OFP server. Find the IP for the name, your looking for, run an ARIN or RIPE whois, find out if its static or dynamic. If it is dynamic then ban every IP on the last octet of the range example. 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255. If they have static then block the single address. I know it seems drastic to block an entire IP range, but I find most of the advanced cheaters I have problem combating are from Germany, if I have to ban every German IP address well thats an acceptable risk. I hope BIS can do something to combat this stuff, their must be legal action they can take against these groups. Their websites are well known, why isnt anything being done?

Malbeef, I dont even bother reading your posts anymore because your the most uneducated piece of trash I have ever encountered. I tryed to be nice to you but learned your only a prick, everyone here will probably agree with me that your computer knowledge is something out of a nursery rhyme book. Everyone here is now dummer for even listened to you, I am even dummer for dignifying you with a response. There is no point arguing anymore cause you have the fastest server, but your still a shithead and a prick. Id rather have the slowest server and retain friends. People like you are the reason this game is dying, bad attitudes and all around bullshit. I think instead of wasting your money away on a server you need to reinvest it into a decent education, it should be a crime in Candada and in the US for people like to even touch a server. You have no LAN/WAN credentials, the slime that falls from your bottom lip is all regergitated from other forums which is your only form of general computer knowledge. I learned how to run an OFP server in a day, what is your excuse? Your like 10mb line this 10mb line that, your the dumbest ignorant fuck I have ever met. Your worse then a KKK member from the 1960s, you have made your bed of bullshit and your struggle to keep people believing your own shit you make up. Your a disgrace to the OFP community, your a disgrace to anyone who has made a living fixing, troubleshooting, or maintaining a PC. The only acronym you know is OFP and FSB. You should disable your mouth and work on providing some leadership for RN so they dont get owned by NOOB clans like us all the time. I love how you guess what equipment everyone is running, like you keep telling me I have a 10MB line this and that this and that. Well if you were actually educated you would know what DRAC is. DRAC is a seperate NIC card completely, and it only comes on Dell machines. We dont have a Dell machine.... dumb ass. If you had any server experience you would know what a RM card is. When you have servers that are remotely managed you always put a remote management NIC card into it and connect it not only to a different subnet but an entirely different network that way if something goes wrong for example a dumb ass like yourself with little to no computer knowledge knocks the server offline, the admins (smart people) like myself can remote into it and remedy your fuck ups. You can be happy now running your uber fast server, which may I add is shit cause it crashes ALL THE TIME. And of all times for it to crash it happens in the middle of a CTITC match involving my clan... yup great setup Mal. And look at your website under your server specs, if thats not a report from DSLreports.com then where ever you ran the speed test from needs to be sued for copying DLS reports is layout... furthermore where ever on the web you ran the test, is completely useless. Your showing 5mbps on a 100mb line on your speed test... let me repeat YOU CANNOT RUN A SPEED TEST ON A 100MB LINE FROM DSLREPORTS. (Breathe) Ok back to burning you, cause my last burn about you choosing managed.com's shitty ass network has forced you to change hosts so I am obviously knocking on your big fat hollow head. I figured I will let it all out now because I am shutting down our servers because cheaters, and shitheads like yourself have ruined OFP and the community. Dont even bother replying because I have no more reason to even view these forums other then to let people know how full of shit you are and address your complete lack of people skills and computer knowledge. Your advice is taken with a grain of salt even by the newbies because they have a sixth sense that your FOS 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Like I said before the only thing you have mastered is the ancient art of MTSUAYGA (Making The Shit Up As You Go Along) keep struggling to be smart brother, I really do feel bad for retards like yourself. I am quitting OFP for good, and leaving the presence of dumbasses like yourself whos only thing you hold onto with dear life is your server. You have sucessfully won the contest.. you are the bigger dick. Later!

Its no supercheat, just people using Maphacks. Now they edit the mpmissioncache setting with a hex tool in flashpointresistance.exe to bypass file checks. Same cheats as before, just different ways to get around them.

For that all you have to do is make a graphic and email the guy and he will put it up for you.

Here is an example of one for each of our servers. http://www.iclsquad.com/serverq....48:2302 http://www.iclsquad.com/serverq....48:2234 This is for PHP nuke, or you can be setup with a normal one.

maroco, Â Sounds like you have a decent setup there, good luck with it! Â If you need help with setting up a Real Time Server Query for your server let me know, I would be happy to lend a hand! Actually I am shifting my arguments to people who can present solid facts, people who dont run speed tests on a 100MB NIC from dslreports.com, some one who doesnt argue that there is 256 usable IPs in an IP range, and some one who doenst have to make the shit up as he goes along. Most of all I am not going to argue with some one who has never even picked up a TCP/IP for dummies book.

No but it will prevent assholes who use those cheats from using ID changers which in effect, utilize the 12 digit IDs.

Give us server specs,  I am sure me and Mal will want to know  I just visited your site, please dont tell me your running a 30 player coop server off your Cox cable modem.

Fuckin A! Â Thank you BIS!!

Too long for me to read.... less time for OFP...

AHAHAHAHA BENU YOU GOT BURNED DUDE BURNED!!!!

It makes me sad because if this continues, we may as well invest our time in another game... why cant their be some cheat prevention software like Valve created?

I didnt bother to read you post Benu, I was just curious on why you were so defensive... But seen as how you never seen a cheater and you dont play on any other servers, maybe its safe to say you are either not educated about cheats, or you dont care if people use them on your server. Because my friend they are out there...

I checked before x'ing out the last number, EACH ONE was used only once. NKVD: no, i don't play much. Only a few hours nearly every day since ofp v1.0 is out. Oh, and before that other games. But i don'T play on just ANY server. Strangely i met cheaters in other games seldom either. Maybe you guys are just playing with the wrong type of people... Are you asking me to ban you because your a cheater? Would this be preventitive maintnance?

If that is what I have to do Benu, Â Then I will do it... If your get a Dynamic IP between 217.95.197.1 - 217.95.197.255 then your ass stays behind my firewall... I just think its sad that nothing is being done by BIS, and server owners like myself are forced into new drastic measures... Benu, ISPs dont allow each user access to unlimited DHCP addresses, Â try refreshing it now... I bet you within an hour you will get the same 3 IPs on the same subnet. Â There is not a pool of thousands of IPs for you to choose from. Â Most of those IPs are leased to other clients for an amount of time. I am not suprised you have not noticed any cheats, sometimes what you think is lag is actually some one limiting their bandwidth. If you want some education on what to look for I would be happy to help you out, the most powerful tool against cheaters is just being educated about whats out there.

Your wrong blocking the entire range will do plenty, if their DHCP lease is up or the refresh the IP 80% chance is the DHCP tables are set per region, so we just have to hope a non cheater does not get an IP from the range we ban.

I used the ETA stats, they worked pretty good.

Tested them last night on our server, looking good we will report any other bugs we find in the CTI44 forums.

We have ALL the latest addons loaded on our servers, I see no problems with the addons everything worked fine. The problem is with the missions. When playing COOP enemy just builds tons of empty tanks that never move out, their base just sits idle. Havent seen any of these issues playing a game vs other people.

Mal is right the missions are full of bugs, we can better explain them if you want, but there is no point unless some one is going to improve them.

If its stable with no bugs I dont see why I cant host it.

Viper I loaded the Kol. 1.16 mission you made, thouroughly tested it. Ran it all weekend with 18 players and no lag, had lots of fun with it. I was going to ask you if your interested in building a big CTI specifically for servers like ours and the RN whore house that have more power then we can ever possibly use. I am forced to run 30 slot SHoP CTI cause I dont have anything larger then a 18 player mfcti 1.16. They just dont make maps large enough for our server

Just try it, I did.... Only lag you may see is a little skipping from any 200+ pingers. This is a screen shot of our server, after we turned hyper threading on and binded, 2 OFP servers, and 1 ventrilo server to cpu0, cpu1, cpu2, and cpu3. I took this during a MFCTI1.16 game with 18 players 75 minutes into the game. Not a drop of desync everyone was 0. Most everyone was sub 100 pings. Click Here

I will take some ingame screenies, and some taskmanager screenies as well.
