Can the player connection type be checked by the server?

[Titatovenaar]

Hi!

I would be interested, and maybe others with me who host their own server, if it would be possible for the server, if somebody tries to connect, to check on their connection type. All I know is that the ping of the client can be checked. But, if possible, I would like to prevent users with modems to log in to my server.

Maybe a variable setting in the config, or a good serverwatch program? Anyone any ideas/possible solutions? :!:

If you're using PB you can have it kick for anyone using a connection speed setting lower than cable.

pb_sv_cvar rate IN 5001 25000

Hi, and thx for the swift reply!

I am currently not using PunkBuster, I am , in fact on version 1.1. Can I use the "pb_sv_cvar rate IN 5001 25000" var in the server config of my server anyways?

No, you can't do anything of the sort in 1.1.

I'll soon be dropping my 1.1 in favor of another 1.4 with PB.

PB is way more than just cheat protection, its basically an admin mod as well. Lotsa nice stuff you can do with it.

K, thx. I'll see if maybe 1.4 is the way of the future....
