Changed rating conditions on trackbase[CHEAT PROTECTION]

[<IoW> BECK]

Yup, one of my admins is there

People will start making wide usage of IP bans. At least until a new ID system gets implemented (if this ever happens).

Whats the sense of Banning players by GUID. Normally they could generate a new one, (temporary) not now.
And besides i always ban players by IP.

ETPUB, so we use GUID for XPSAVE and shrubbet stuff, is that stuff going to go away because of this?

All players that play on your server and are having a guid, their XP + adminlevels will be saved. If a new player without any guid connects his xp and adminlevels will not be saved, because PB doenst create a guid (guid= to save xp + admin) any longer.

/rcon pb_sv_ban bans a connected player reconized by /pb_sv_plist which doenst work any longer. And wondering what its bans (guid or IP ) or both.
same for command !ban in schrubbot which ban the name or slot from that player with time. There is something like pb_sv_banmask for IP, but to be honest im not sure if that doenst work either.

Maybe sombody with Etpub experience is able to help you out Beck.

Hi Paul! That's a good decision but i've another one. Just a suggestion. It's hard to overwatch every server, way to hard and it requies way to much work. Why just not to enable rating on SOME servers? I'm talkin about FA now for example (Just no WOOD plz lol). I think my idea isn't that bad. I would just enable rating for SOME servers if i were You paul .

BTW i think WE are going to have much work now . That means we need more members HOWEVER, from now, WHTEAM is going to bust "High Rated" Cheaters! You have our support Paul!

Greetings

Nice Paul!
Maybe its wise to make a special section in forum for a list with those names? This way other server admins will be aware of these ppl. cheating.
So we can still help each other out.

Yes! it's a good decision ......... and i hope that it wont be the end of et.....

[Paul]

Some people asked why I just didn't enable rate for a few servers but I think that's not very fair for all admins and therefore we've come up with thid decision.

[equaLz]

Paul as it now its good,
if some servers are cheating we can just report that.
So that server can be disabled.

cool idea would be making TZAC mandatory on all servers not only etpro. but there need to be a method how to check it. and TZAC should work with other mods beside etpro and etmain.

and with method to check i dont mean a serveraddon like there is for etpro just some simple lua scripts wich check if the user is using tzac. if not he gets kicked.

edit: and adminmods need to be edit so they use the tzac id instead of the pb guid

All the years our Wolfenstein Community has supported Punkbuster and this is how they treat us? We advertised and used their product worldwide and now, because they can't make a "fast buck" from WolfET, they stab us in the back? Well they can stick their anti-cheat system and the lag spikes that come with it, right up their money-motivated arses.

Our server uses ETPub right now and we run PB, but after talking to Daredevil about Silent Mod this now seems the way ahead. The main problem our server Admin highlighted was the possibility of having to re-install everything "from scratch" in order to run the server with Silent Mod. I see you posted a link, Daredevil, concerning an "easy conversion tool", does this mean that converting our server from ETPub to Silent Mod is easier than we think?

15 mins work to install silent mod from scratch.

XP Save can be converted easily using this tool.

For conversion, it still takes less then 15 mins. Fine tuning might take some time because server owner will need to refer manual but shouldn't take more then 30 mins.. If you need help, I can install the silent mod for you.
