Bukkit

@Dr_Proffesor

You are not supposed to use 2.04 with MC 1.7.3, it's for 1.8

EDIT: BukkitDev doesn't let me to choose something different than 1060 to display on the right side, that's why I describe downloads here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nocheat/pages/changelog-and-downloads/

@CoolOppo

If you use 2.05 (I just uploaded it), NoCheat should detect automatically when players are in creative mode and deactivate checks that would prevent it from working properly.

That way you don't have to manually adjust permissions or configuration for players when they switch between creative and survival.

I've filed a bug report with Mojang and need your help:

http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/sprint_exploit_sprint_much_much_faster_than_intended_by_the_feature

Can you reproduce what it describes and then confirm on the bug report that this problem exists? Unless this gets fixed, there is no way that NoCheat can allow sprinting without leaving the door wide open for hackers to bypass it (to a certain extend).

@tremor77

Sure it does. There are 2 parts that deal with flight: "moving.flying" and "moving.running". The rest is in the descriptions.txt.

In short: If both are active, the player isn't allowed to fly and is limited in his walking speed. If only moving.flying is active, the player can fly, but at limited speeds. If moving.flying is not active, the player can move completely free (unlimited speed flying).

I'll refactor those probably now, as I keep getting asked that question, and I want to better integrate the new sprinting ability optically. Let's see what comes out of it...

@deleted_7536780

It's the name of a certain type of hacks. The player will dig all blocks within a certain distance around himself automatically and inhumanly fast. Some variants of this hack allow to limit the digging to certain blocks or block types.

Most of those "nuker" hacks get identified by the blockbreak/direction check, because most of them only send commands for digging, without sending a command to turn the player around to face the block first. In the 1.xx versions of NoCheat the blockbreak/direction check was called "nuker" check, but I found that to be a bit confusing and not very descriptive for people who never had contact with those types of hacks.

@Pythros

Correct.

@Coolio2039:

This is not a problem of NoCheat, as NoCheat doesn't influence logins in any way and only gets executed when players are actually on the server playing.

There are problems with Minecraft.net authentication servers, they're overloaded because everybody expects 1.8 to be released soon. That couuld be your problem. Whenever you connect to an "online-mode" server, the client and the server will connect to minecraft.net servers for authentication first, and at least one of those connections seems to time out.

You can put your server in "offline-mode" (server.properties file) and therefore don't need the minecraft.net servers for logins, but be aware that anybody can connect with any name he wants to "offline-mode" servers. You should at least run one of the "Auth" plugins in that case to avoid people logging in e.g. under the admins name, and you would still have the problem of how to know if people really are who they say when they login.

@th3controller:

sorry, I made a mistake when writing those descriptions, therefore they don't show up. I'm uploading a new version of NoCheat now with the correct ones. Until I'm done, here are the three missing descriptions:

chat.spam.timeframe
Over what timeframe (in seconds) should the messages be counted?
When the time is over, counting starts at 0 again.

chat.spam.limit
How many messages per timeframe may the player send without it counting as spamming?

chat.spam.actions
What should be done if a player is trying to spam the chat.
Unit is number of chat messages above the limit you declared above.

@frozeny95:

I've added a new link to the description now, which points to a new site called other plugins. You can find some X-Ray solutions there.
