Problems with gamecrashers :S

[TechnoPauluz]

Hey Jazzgamerz,

I've got a question: Which anti crash programm works fine? I did try NeoAC but there was someone crashing my game :S (i read that there is a prog that bypass NeoAC?)

Is there a up-to-date program that prevent crashing, spamming, ghosting and where u can ban people's IP? Please let me know..

Tnx for the help!

As far as I know there's no way to prevent all forms of crashing servers. It's not perfect, but NeoAC's the best method available.

[NovaStar]

Maybe try running ApprehendJJ2 to nab the IP and report? I do remember something about NeoAC being able to be bypassed by something but I forget what now.

As far as I know NeoAC prevents long name crashes as well as some other protocol abuses, but those are only a few methods one can use to crash a server or otherwise disrupt the gameplay. Surely it's the best available method so far and I hope Mono gets to release future versions. I know its possible to bypass it and how to do it, but I've never heard of a program made specially to bypass it. If there is such thing then it's likely fairly recent. But technically you could use existing programs such as a packet editor to easily bypass it, if you know how to do it.

I was out of the loop for a while, but did Mono get around to releasing a 1.24 version of NeoAC?

[Grytolle]

No... but once I release 1.23+ (which has NeoAC's functionality) I will star finishing 1.24+, which will then also feature crash protection

[Vegito]

Yes.
And there's no program which bypasses NeoAC at this very moment.
Its just that.. Paul got version 1.24 =]
And version 1.24 doesn't have a working NeoAC version so far ;p

[Grytolle]

There are program's that can bypass NeoAC ;s

Currently, there are way too much crashers. yesterday my server was crahsed again (but it was only a trap, because i waited for the crasher - i knew that (s)he would come) - his / her ip adress was 83.15.164.61 - apprehendJJ2 didnt give me any useful information beside the IP adress.
btw, one of the crashers seems to be SlayerCC!

I've actually been playing TSF the past two days and haven't seen any crashers. In fact, the last time I heard of any major crashing was March-May 2006.

[Jojo]

It seems that they don't attack everyone...

edit: Carrotade says: "Version not supported" - i have TSF and didnt patch the exe or something...

[Jerrythabest]

if Grytolle can make 1.24 crash protected, than Monolith should be able to make a 1.24 NeoAC too :S

[Jojo]

but the program deosnt work... why??!?!?!

[blurredd]

So you have both the Carrotade exe and the dll in the same folder as your JJ2 exe, and you're sure you have version 1.24?

[Jojo]

indeed i am sure. maybe i have to reinstall jj2? i didnt install it at all coz i reinstalled windows...
the file date of carrotade is 24.12.2006
