Delator is now version 2.0.0.8 [Archive]

That's right, the new version is available for download at:

http://www.uv.es/~astracan/delator20.zip

Sorry, but Filefront is currently rejecting my password and I can't log in, so the version over there is still the old one.

No new features really, but some of the old ones are now working correctly, to be exact:

- In-game banning works on Spearhead (but you can't use quotes -and thus, no spaces- on the ban description; that's a SH limitation, not Delator).

- Mac players should now be safe. However that's not tested.

A lot of bugs have been corrected too. It has been running on our server (MoHaa classic) for four days non-stop.

IMPORTANT: After downloading check the Delator version number on the window title is "2.0.0.8"; otherwise you're using an older version.

Regards,

YoChoy

It allows for Colored Skins , See Thru Walls etc...., A Friend of mine Picked it up online and he came in my server so we could see if Delator would pick it Up .CI Also did not pick it up . Am i doing something wring in the Config Maybe ? , It just distresses me that i have all this protection , Delator , Autokick, and CI and This went un-detected.......Thanks for any info .............Pete

Is this version able to get a valid dumpuser on players with spaces in their names?

I think I may have found a bug with the new 2.0.0.8 Delator.. I have a max player setting of 16 with 7 private clients.. That leaves 9 public spots open... On my server last night I noticed 10 public players on a few times & I looked at Delator & noticed that the first 7 slots were no longer yellow which I had assumed before that ment reserved... So now I can't run the server with any private clients if Delator is running..

Any1 else noticed this?

At first I thought some1 hacked my comp & was controling my server but I think that would be rediculous... I think somehow Delotor was totally ignoring my private client settings even after repeatedly setting it again during the game...

YoChoyLaMuete

1.- Nope, it can't check player with spaces on their names.
2.- Delator doesn't interfere in any way with your server settings, it only reads them. And it doesn't colour the players in any way too... :?:

Today i upgraded from 2.0.0.6 to 2.0.0.8. Before upgrading everything runs fine. But now i get "Error 13: Type Mismatch" everytime i start RconDelator. What about this ? I thought this was fixed with 2.0.0.8 ? I never got this Error with 2.0.0.6. Tried RconDelator on different Systems (all W2k SP3) but everytime with the same result. :( Any Hints ?

YoChoyLaMuete

03-07-2003, 02:06 PM

Yep, you're using an old rcondelator.ini; either start a new config from scracth (delete the old one) or try to follow the upgrading instructions for version 2.0.0.7 (some people had problems with this). Your kick/bans lists are safe, but you know, a backup copy is always a good idea ;)

Yep, that's it. Now Delator is running fine. :) Hope that it will catch a lot of Cheaters on our Server. :)
Anyway YoChoy, you did a great job with Delator. Keep on the good work.

Ive discovered a bug too but im not sure if it is with
delator or dmz_dogtag or code_security

the problem that has happened is that sometimes
type messages are not showing up and guns are sometimes
lagging when u try to reload them

it is odd

any ideas

The only bug that I've noticed is that the Modified Binaries checkbox unchecks itself after it begins warming.

This version is very stable. It's so nice not to have to constantly restart it. Muchas gracias! :)

The problem with messages is an old one; it's because the message timer is reset on every spawn, thus if the interval is higher than a few minutes it never gets fired and the message is not casted. About the guns, well, I really doubt Delator has something to do with it, or even DogTag, unless you have set a really small timer for it (less than one second, in any case).

The only bug that I've noticed is that the Modified Binaries checkbox unchecks itself after it begins warming

Yep, I noticed this yesterday too. I had been told about it, but after loading Delator the setting is fine, so I though it had to do with some setups. Now that I have finally found it I will fix it for the next release.

YoChoy

After a fresh install I get a pop up box that says:

System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770)

This is so annoying as I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a Delator version that stayed active for a long time.

My stystem is:

P4
256MB DDR
XP Home (no SP1)

Dont think much more info is required. I basicaly download the file, use winrar to unzip to my desktop and then try running Mod Delator straight from this new directory, the only thing it does is display that error message. Hope this can be easily solved!

System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770)

That's not properly a Delator error, but an endemic bug on Win XP editions. Nobody knows why it happens or how to solve it, but there are a few things you can try, such as removing duplicates of winsck.ocx, MSVBVM60.DLL or comctl.ocx; cleaning your registry or just unzipping Delator a few times and try to run it. But as said, none of them guarantees it will work. You can find some background info (and instructions) on that error on:

That would make sense, thanks for the tips on how to solve it.

Fortunatly anoher clan member who runs Delator mostly, was able to get it working properly first time and he reports it works very well indeed. So even if I cant get it working, our server has better protection because of this. Thanks!

And don't forget you can still ban players on the server via rcon as long as a copy of Delator is running against the server, no matter if it's not running on your local machine.

Thats the best new feature of the program and it works great. Admins can do all of their adminning using the console without running a seperate program for banning (all ingame too).
Thanks YoChoy.

So no one has to have rcondelator running, or just one person?

Assuming its the latter, what commands do I use? (must have missed somthing in the readme :oops:)

AH HA! Got it, thats sweet, very nice feature. All in all this seems like the best update/version yet by far! Excellent job!

Question...

Ive read somewhere about a "cloaking" feature which allows for players cheats to go unnoticed by Delator, is this true and if so is there a possible fix?

Feel free to drop by our server (20 man) to see your work in action! 217.169.20.18:27260

Sorry, but I must be missing something with the remote banning feature. I have tried it several times, and still does not work. I am running Allied Asault, not spearhead.

Do I have to enable a clientban feature in my normal server config file? I think I saw that in a reply above, but it was just loosley referenced. If I need to enable another variable in my server config file, please post the text here for me.

Also, could somebody please post EXACTLY the text required to remotley ban somebody.
I have been using

rcon set clientban 01 and it doesn't work.

I have already typed in my pass previously, using rconpassword xxxxxxx so the server already recognizes me as rcon admin.

One other thing. Are players who log onto the server using a private slot password imune to this feature? All tests I have run involve players connecting through their private pass.
.
Thanks for all your work and dedication YoChoy. You have put out a truly useful tool for the server admins. Keep up the great work.[/b]

AHHHHH YES got it working, awsome!

AHHHHH NO you cant use Delator 2 in offical Clanbase matches!?!? WTF I mean now that most of the problems have been sorted out, detection is pretty much 100% accurate when it does detect!

My solution to this is, run Delator 2 in offical matches, but leave everything on warning only. My hope is then to use this name and shame cheaters, forcing any cheaters to clean up there act, get kicked from clanbase or just get a really bad reputation and therefore no matches!

I dont like codesecurity as forcing to take a screen shot in a match sucks when it freezes you up, otherwise this would be a nice tool, but its not so eh. Would be 100% accurate for picking up visual cheats, lets just hope that soon Delator 2 becomes the offical cheat detection software for offical ladders and leagues!

I will be contacting admin at clanbase, requesting they come take a look at this thread. By the way we have only had reason to suspect one player of cheating so far out of several matches, this is good going to be honest.

Does this still work with Linux (without bugs)?

Thanks for all the responses explaining to me how to use the remote banning feature......NOT!

I finally figured out it takes time untill Delator runs it's next complete scan before the banned individual will be booted and the @whateverthereason message displayed.

But thanks for replying and telling me that.

I've never had any trouble running delator before and I've recently upgraded to the latest version. It ran great for the last week or so but today I can't get it to run. I'm getting the following message when I try to start up:

This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

I've already tried the re-install but it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Haven't switched OS.

I was fooling around with Pandora just prior to getting that message. I had to clean out my mohaa/main file in order to get Pandora to work.

The server that I have Delator monitor is a rented server so I never messed with that mohaa/main file.

I'll try to start Delator again this afternoon when I get home.
