How can I remove/disable Anti-cheat when playing online LAN and Multiplayer?

How can I remove or disable anti-cheat when playing online LAN and/or Multiplayer?

I will just use it on my own private server with some of my friends.

Gisteron

the vanilla game doesn’t have any proper cheat detection. however, modern server operators all have hardcoded anti-cheat. the operators themselves are not necessary though.

robocop

Update 1.1 was supposed to improve the cheat protection abilities of FL but other than not installing that update, there’s not much you can do to reduce cheat protection in vanilla FL. What specifically are you trying to allow?

@ robocop

I want to change the starting money, place/planet, and ship when you will create a new character.

So how can I disable this anti-cheat?

I will play only at LAN server and I will not use it on Internet server.

And will make my own private server so that my friends and I are the players that will only play on that server.

Gisteron

you don’t need to disable anticheat for that. all you need is managed server-side via the .\data\characters\newcharacter.ini and .\exe\mpnewcharacter.fl files.

@ Gisteron

I only tried to changed the file ( newcharacter.ini ).

But I didn’t change anything to the ( mpnewcharacter.fl ). Cause I didn’t know how to open it.

( " " " What program should I use to open the file extension ( .fl )? " " " )

So after I changed the starting money, ship, and place at the ( newcharacter.ini ), at the Selection NEW CHARACTER, after I typed my name and press enter/accept, a window will pop-up which tells that I can’t connect and the name I typed is already in use. I just want to tell this to you. Maybe because I didn’t also change the ( mpnewcharacter.fl ) file, right?

So maybe I need to changed something at the ( mpnewcharacter.fl ). Hopefully if I changed this file, it will run smoothly and accept it, right?

Gisteron

concretely this fl file is not encoded and therefore can be opened with any text editor. unfortunately i don’t understand how the problem you have could occur… there is nothing wrong with this method if you do it correctly ofc. (e.g. the loadout fits to the hardpoints of the spaceship etc.)

wasabitoy

@ Gisteron

So i can open it with notepad?

My ship is perfectly done/correct with right loadouts to the hardpoints.

Gisteron

well, it should be working then. maybe you made a typo or forgot something. can’t tell you… could you post the code, that would make things easier…

and yes, you can open mpnewcharacter.fl with notepad.

robocop

Or you can just use this handy dandy old timey mod

@ robocop

So what does this ( server operator 2 ) do?

You just gave the .html but there was no description.

@ Gisteron

((( I just want to tell you that I am playing the MOD Freeworlds - Tides of War )))

These were the only things I changed for the newcharacter.ini :

( newcharacter.ini )

[Pilot]
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
voice = trent_voice
body.anim = Sc_MLBODY_STND_000LV_A_31
thumb = interface\intro\objects\MULTI_blackdragonmale.3db
comm.anim = Sc_comm_body_unfold_female, Sc_headCOM
;
[Package]
nickname = start_ship < –-------- I changed this to any ship I want.
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = tug
loadout = start_loadout
money = 50000 < ----------- I changed this to 500,000,000.
;
[Faction]
nickname = new_player
rep_group = fc_gc_grp
base = CR01_Start_Base < –- I changed this to any planet/base.
Package = start_ship < ---- I changed this to any ship I want.
Pilot = trent

And the last file which I didn’t change anything yet. Cause I didn’t know what should I change here. Cause I compared this to the original file of the Freelancer game and the Freeworlds-TOW MOD game.

So I compared 3 files of ( mpnewcharacter.fl ). Which the 3rd one is my modified file.

I made backups for sure.

So what changes should I do to this file ( mpnewcharacter.fl )?

Was there also an error to the file ( newcharacter.ini ) that I changed?

I changed the file newcharacter.ini, right? Then when I am going to play, an error will occur and tells that I cannot connect to the net and the name that I typed is already in use.

Help me.

Thanks.

Gisteron

dunno whether you host your server yourself… if you are connecting to a foreign server this might be caused by really the cheat detection (as the server machine has different files from yours). if its your own server running on the same machine, the error should not be occuring at all. another problems is: make sure your starting location does exist (the very nickname from first to last byte). to change the ship you’d have to edit the ship and loadout values of [package], not the nickname: the nickname is only needed to be refered to in [faction].

Chips

Is there a completely un-edited version of mpnewcharacter.fl file to be pasted up? I get the feeling that’s been altered, and I have no FL Copy here, and my memory is real fuzzy.

Been a while - but some pointers about what you posted. I may be wrong, it has been YEARS since I looked at this file. At least 5, maybe 6 or even 7…

You just gave the .html but there was no description.

Server Operator 2 is a mod that allows, via FLMM, the server admin to set the starting ship, location, price, faction alignment, nomad invasions, AI having regen batteries and bots (or either) and capships encounters (I think).

However, it will only work (some of the options) for VANILLA Freelancer. The options it is set to have will not correspond to total conversions… so Li01_01_base may no longer exist, and nor may the starting ship of ge_starflier or whatever it’s called, and the corresponding mp_loadout (or whatever it’s called) so it is not advised to use this unless you have normal FL or a mod derived from it (one which at least has the ships in the shiparch and the bases - I think it adds correct loadouts for the ship you choose to start).

robocop

What Chips said. It works only with a vanilla install of FL.

Chips, thanks again for that mod.

@ Chips & @ Gisteron

Stupid of me - I was wrong that I put any ships at the wrong section:

So that is why it didn’t work. Cause I was in a hurry that time.

( @ Chips )

I will post the original ( mpnewcharater.fl ) later. Cause I am not at home right now.

I changed the money and altered it to 500,000,000. And it worked at the NEW CHARACTER on the list. But when I am on the game or started the game, the money or credits is still 50K.

@ Chips

This is the original file from Freelancer of the ( mpnewcharacter.fl ).

I’ll be waiting for you to reply.

And also to the " How NPCs can be added back again at the game ".

Please help me.

Thanks.

@ Chips

I finally did it!!!

Hehe!

Don’t bother this topic anymore cause I already made it to run/execute at the game by using LAN multiplayer via private server.

Thanks for your help and also to the people who replied.

Thank you.
