CI Skin Scan Problem

[willieb02]

Hi,

I am a server admin for http://moh.wayxcable.com. I just downloaded and installed CI. It works great except for the skin scan. It even kicked myself for unstock skins. I think it's because the case in the allowed skins file is different from mine. This is really stupid. How can I make it case unsensitive? Or how can I get around this. It would seem to much trouble to try to enter all variations of case for each skin. How I can fix this? Other than that I love CI so far. Thanks...

Hi,

I changed the selction to use the unauthorized skin list and that didn't kick me but I realize that it's a lot harder to keep up with than the authorized skin list.

Also I just tried a no-recoil hack and CI did not detect it nor did it kick me. How can I stop this crap from happenning?????? I just want players in my server that has NO MODS WHATSOEVER, or only the ones we approve. How can I set up CI to only allow stock install with NO mods? Thanks for all who reply!

Well, can you run he forced honesty settings? Unless a player has that in their custom.cfg, they won't be able to connect. All this is theory, mind you. I haven't tried it yet. Try contacting Buzz at www.invisiblewarriors.com.

correct me if i'm wrong....

if the stock skin is german_panzer_tankcommander, wouldn't german_panzer_Tankcommander be a modded/custom skin?

I ran into the same problem. Everything stock. I was forcing models with Hammer's Goodies, and noticed that a couple of the skins in his skin list had letter case differences from CI's. So, I added them to the authorized skin list in CI. Then I had a couple of people come in with various letter case versions of names. Oh brother,
I hate kicking people for invalid reasons....but....

Hey thanks a lot for the posts guys. Actually I also downloaded a no-tree hack, a no-recoil hack, and a no-fog hack. I tried all of them individually against CI and CI only caught the no-fog hack. I was just in spectator mode most of the time (it was on my server). The only way to really test them is to try them. The no fog hack I had to replace the newconfig.cfg file in mainta. It did catch that one. It let me play with the no-tree and no-recoil hack. I don't understand why it didn't catch either one. Is there anyway to add these hacks to CI? They were just pk3 files I added to the mainta folder.

Actually I would like to be able to (and it would be a lot easier) to enforce the stock install. So that users could not install any mods and could only use stock skins that came with the game. This would make things a lot easier so we would not have to keep up with all the cheats. I do realize that hard core cheaters could hack the game itself and probably get by with it but I'm not worried about that, usually people with that type of knowledge are the minority anyway. I just want to stop the majority of the cheaters. I know there has to be an easier way than this. Any ideas are welcome. TIA

Oh yeah and about the forced honesty settings. I'm not exactly sure how it works but from what I understand it wont let someone with a clean install to join without using our honesty file or something like that. I would like for anyone to be able and join. I guess I could read up on it and it all else fails and there is no other way I guess I could enforce honesty settings and put the file they need on our web site for anyone to download. But I think that would keep people off our server because it's to much trouble to worry about.

Actually there is a really small program that comes with CI that will install the Honesty settings. It takes no time at all to run. But, if CI is not catching all the hacks, then we do have a problem.

Thanks, I will try it and post results here. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks again...

BTW I am also running MAM 1.2 /w MAM Security 2.0 & MAM_Addonpak 1.0

Ok I just tried the honesty config. I'm not really sure what it does but it didn't help the cheats I tried. I did have to have the same file on my computer to get it to let me stay in. I used a no-tree hack and a no-recoil hack. CI never kicked me out! Again, any other ideas on how I can not allow any mods or other than stock skins on our server? Any help is greatly appreciated. There has to be a way somewhere that we are missing. TIA

The fabled next patch will supposedly have a working version of sv_pure. Problem is, I understand that also impacts server tweaks, so all the map fixes needed to address the holes that allow landsharking and similar stupidity won't be fixable. If that's true, then the cure may be worse than the illness.
