If I have given insult, I most humbly apologize. That was NOT the intent. Reading over my last post, I winced at how brusque I was. I can get like that occasionally and when I do I need to be slapped down.

I absolutely understand that we are not entitled to anything concerning the Discovery mod. Like Starworlds I was just wondering if there was any way we could turn down the anti-cheat. But if not, then we’ll live with it. And I agree with Starworlds. Cannon should change his name to Almighty Canon. I program a bit myself, and I am astonished and in awe at what he has done.

I understand that this can lead to cheating. And for that reason, it should be the way it is by default. But by the same token, there should be a way for a server admin to disable some of these anti-cheats.

Not all servers are the same and not all admins are the same. Some admins check their logs regularly and if they see someone using something that is totally out there, they can ban the person themselves, but they might want to let people use a freelancer.exe with a certain checksum because all that would do is allow the importation of server data into FLCompanion. It’s not the checksum that’s expcected and therefore there should be a notice in the server logs. But the software should give the admin the option of whether they want to be very strict and not allow any or be more relaxed.

Hi

I have installed the latest Discovery FLHook for my discovery server, but it auto-bans people like crazy. It seems the anti-cheat is set very tight. If someone is using hudshift.dll or a freelancer.exe that is set for single instance, (so FLCompanion can import) it will ban them.

Some people have wide screen monitors and would like the scanner and weapons boxes to be in on the sides how they would be on a regular screen. -dx or -dwwwxhhh puts spaces on the left and right.

Some admins would like to let people import from FLcompanion.

Is there any way to loosen the anti-cheat on these? I’ve tried setting KickOnCheckSumFail=no but it still bans my admin character for using a freelancer.exe with an unexpected checksum.

Someone else has posted about this on discoverygc and got no response so I thought I would ask here.

Can anyone help?
