NoCheat
Thank You!
Thanks to everyone who used and liked this plugin. I've set the plugin to "abandoned" status myself (that's why there is a red box above this text), because it describes best the current status of this plugin. Thanks to everyone that supported me during the year of development, with money, bug reports or simply kind words.
What now?
NoCheat 3.5.0 no longer works with recent CraftBukkit build and you will no longer get any updates or support from me anymore.
If you want to see the original version of this description page for this plugin, you can find a copy of it here: Original plugin description
Replacements for NoCheat
Check out these plugins.
NoCheat+
It is based on NoCheat's code and is therefore similar in how it works. But it also adds a ton of new features. You can find it HERE.
NoCheat Classic
It is the original NoCheat without any modifications beyond what is necessary to make it work on modern CraftBukkit versions. If you like NoCheat exactly the way it is, this may be what you are looking for. You can find it HERE.
AntiCheat
Is a new plugin that's built from scratch. That means it will behave and feel different to NoCheat. I'm sure the developer appreciates new users and bug reports. Get it HERE.
Make your own
Don't like the presented alternatives? You may just create your own plugin instead. The source code for NoCheat is HERE.
@Evenprime85
err he said "no error" ;)
@daego
care to share the error?
It looks like there is no error with CB R5 Update
@Evenprime85
lol okay, goodnight then, have fun with the non english pizza deliveries XD
@cvxx7q
I'm DDoS immune because I've a dynamic IP from biggest internet provider of the country, so they'd have to DDoS that to prevent me from getting online. And beyond that, maybe playing telephone pranks? Idk, we don't even have a pizza delivering service that they could call to send me pizza, or at least none that would accept an order in English. =)
There's really nothing that would go beyond mildly annoying me that they could do.
Im going to bed now, so if I don't answer anymore, it's not because some l33t h4ck3rs sent a SWAT team after me that v& me. ;)
@Evenprime85
you certainly have, i've already seen your full name and occupation haha :P
i figured the worst they COULD do was do some stupid crap like DDoS and so on (the typical move)
however disclosing someones personal info requires knowing/stealing it so someone exposing that info is in a bad legal position themselves! afaik
EDIT: goodluck with that plugin though, im sure its withing your abilities, altho the cat and mouse game will suck
@cvxx7q
All downloads removed. I've obtained a copy now (actually multiple copies, good that the plugin.jar included sourcecodes) so all is fine.
Expect it to either become a seperate BukkitDev project or part of NoCheat. But I think I'll leave it seperate. That makes it easier to give it to someone who is willing to keep it alive if I no longer have time.
For now I'll have to dig through the sources and adapt the stuff to my coding style (and to avoid licensing issues, I'd rather end up with 100% different code that does the same as the original, than just using the original).
PS: People are afraid of getting "dox'd" (their internet identity getting linked to their real identity) which is bad if you have done anything that's not 100% legal with your internet identity. I don't fear that, I've written my "dox" all over the place already. :D
@Evenprime85
what are they gonna do? reach over the line and choke him through his monitor? :S
sounds like a bunch of glorified idiots calling themselves "hackers" (which is a false term everybody!)
anyway, why cant you get it from bukkit dev?
EDIT: i see the plugin is gone now, wat the hell? why would he be afraid of some online asswipes? unless they come knockin on his door wit a bat i dont see why he would be afraid
@cvxx7q
The antiPwnage. Seems that the author got threatened by some shady figures. Well, can't blame people from putting themselves not into the line of fire.
Anyway, because the plugin was distributed including source codes, I should be able to work on it myself. I had liked to avoid that, but anyway, people want this for their servers.
PS: Minecraft apparently become srsbznss. I don't care. Come at me bro's. :D
@Evenprime85
which plugin?
@cvxx7q
Aww, shoot. People got all bitchy on HackForums about the new plugin. Someone downloaded it and willing to PM the latest version to me? I don't feel like starting from scratch doing what he did.
@Evenprime85
that's the better way, because i would have said if you were to strip it now and need it again later that could injure your development :o
how dare i underestimate you haha
@cvxx7q
Yes, I'll completely remove it. If someone wants the code, it will always be available on github under the corresponding version label of NoCheat. Or if I ever need to dig it up again for other reasons.
@XeonG8
Then I'll do that for the next version.
@AndrewsPanda
Yes, I started to exclusively use the new event system with version 3.0.0 of NoCheat.
@AndrewsPanda
i am pretty sure it has been, "theoretical" R5 compatibility so far
but for R4 its flawless AFAIK
Does this plugin need to be/or has it been updated to the new bukkit events system?
@Evenprime85
yeh exactly that thanks
@Evenprime85
so ur striping your anti-bot code then or just nullifying it?
@cvxx7q
It identifies bots by monitoring their behaviour on the server (movement, interactions, chat messages, ...) and giving them "trust points" whenever they do something a player would do and takes them away if they behave like a bot. That's a very good way to deal with the problem, but also needs lots of maintainance to keep up with whatever the bot writers do to make their fake players look legitimate. Something that I definitely don't want to do myself.
I know that it currently works very, very well from various server owners, so I have a lot of trust into it.
"Do what you are good at and let others do what they are good at"
@Evenprime85
heya EvenPrime, has that antipwnage looked promising enough for you to strip out your code?
@XeonG8
I could add nodes for all checks that go like "nocheat.checks.chat.spam.silent" or similar, such that players with that node don't produce log messages. That'd be relatively easy to do and not break the way everything currently works (and it'd be completely optional for those that don't care about it).
Would that be what you thought of?
In other news: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/antipwnage/ got approved and you can now download it.
