etadmin_mod 0.29 [15-nades/15-flashs/change of skin FIX]

[[FanT]AsthMaTiK]

For the ones who use etadmin_mod on their server and waiting for a new version of the DutchFix ( ), here is a little patch i made to kick the players who want to use the following exploits:

- 15 nades
- 15 flashs
- change of skin (VIP)

These cheat codes are used widely and annoying for everyone.
It will simply kick the cheaters for 5 minutes (according your configuration).
Why only to kick them instead of a ban ?
Because they are detected and kicked BEFORE to have the possibility to use the cheat

Edit your etadmin_mod.pl and find the following lines (line 2918-2920 in original version)

Hey Asthma,

Have you tested this?
Cause if I take a quick look, it looks like everyone with the weapon '9' and '4' will be kicked.
Unless those are infact illegal weapons

[[FanT]AsthMaTiK]

Of course I did

TC:E weapons are not implemented as in Enemy Territory.
You have the .gear files which allow some weapon codes only.
In fact, you have 3 types of weapons:

Single Handed : SH1 to SH8
Single Handed Akimbo : SHA1 to SHA4
Two Handed : TH1 to TH20
Total: 32 types of weapons available theorically.

Each weapon allowed on a map is registered as this in .gear file

ey good work

I will try to implement the 'legal weapontable' into dutchfix soon

[[FanT]AsthMaTiK]

Ok, I did a new version of the patch to take account of the legal weapons only...

This time, it's done in two parts in etadmin_mod.pl:
- a declaration table
- the patch by itself

For the declaration find:

Well done [FanT]AsthMaTiK!

Those of you who don't use etadmin_mod, can use AntiSkill 0.1.1. This is a simple qmm plugin, which was made several weeks ago for better server protection against ws/team exploits.

History of this plugin is quite funny - there was one guy on ak47 server, who used team bugs instantly. I've added him to the suspects list, which allow to filtrate all commands from selected client. In this way I've noticed, that this one guy (his game client) is sending all the time numeric commands with one argument, which looked like time stamp. My first thought was, that this could be some kind of cheat or other shitty stuff, cause normal game client doesn't send anything like that to the server. Few days after I've filtrated two guys, who were using wallhack (pb screen shots showed that) and what I saw was that they are also sending various numeric commands. Putting this two things together I've made first version of that plugin to kick automatically this kind of players. But after that, many players had been kicked from the server - the reason of that was that they were using various types of scripts (auto-walk, silent door open etc.), which were sending this types of commands to the server. Filtrating numeric commands could be only useful eg. for competitions, where players wont be allow to use scripts, but it doesn't give any protection against cheaters.
Current plugin version doesn't take any actions against numeric commands.

AntiSkill registers a few new servers CVARS:
antiskill - plugin version info
as_logfile - log file name (default: antiskill.log)
as_wskick - should plugin kick player after ws exploit (0 or 1, default: 1)
as_teamkick - should plugin kick player after team exploit (0 or 1, default: 1)
as_kickduration - player kick duration (default: 1 minute)
as_whkick - deprecated and useless CVAR

Plugin log file is written in fs_homepath/tcetest/ directory.

Current version is compiled for linux servers only. It could be run in the same time with DutchFix for better server protection.

Plugin is currently installed on all ak47 servers for several weeks, works fine.

Enjoy

Thanks Simons for your contribution and to permit public use of your plugin.
I'm working since last week on a gmScriptMod version, but I meet a "little" problem...
I'm trying to catch the change of UserInfo in the GAME_CLIENT_USERINFO_CHANGED event.
But the UserInfo of the client changes really when he has already respawned!
And strangely it seems the GAME_CLIENT_BEGIN event is only called one time when entering in the server (despite it is logged event in the server log file)...
A bit strange behavior oO
I will have to note who did a UserInfo change and "spy" GMSM_KILL_EVENT to know when to check
(btw a lot of time lost in reorganising/indenting/splitting the NeelixScript.gm oO)

@Simons,
Hey, doesn't Dutchfix do exactly the same?

hey asthmatik, first of all great job. i tried your etadmin_mod fix for quite some time now on heros. unfortunately it seems to have a bug, where people get kicked for no reason, mostly shortly after the [/TEAM CHEAT ATTEMPT] -> Kick !!! info-message. at first i didnt wanna believe some people but then it happened to me as well some days ago^^. there was no weapon/team change or anything when it happened, except that i maybe minimized the game (do it all the time so shouldnt trigger it). as mentioned already, this mostly happened after the info-message, so maybe take a look again, might have missed something

[Eqpe]

I were kicked for making such an exploit myself. I was not even in the game because I had minimized it

@SnaKeS3K:
Could you please check in the logs of EtAdmin and PM me more infos about the kicked players?
Normally my code is limited to the data of the player.
I included the weapon "0" by security.
But I suppose this could happen when you are spectating a "cheater" or at least someone who used a /team trick during the time you are waiting for respawn, as you are "impersonating" him...
If the "cheater" changes his /team command before to be killed and respawn, he could be not be detected as cheater because the command isn't effectif yet (but already used by the follower).
But it's only a supposition.
I need some clues (maybe it's not a bug but a glitch )
