I started mentioning this in the JJ2 Abuse Thread, but heres its own thread.

A Project started by Overlord and myself to help protect the JJ2-MP from the abuse it gets.

Filter version 0.2 has just been released which includes the ability to block Laser Shields from being used online. It also has "ASD" crash prevent and Download Blocker.

All these filters only need to be used by the Server. All traffic from every player is routed thru the server so if the server is running these filters, they will take affect on everyone in the game. So if your a client and you run this, it wont do you much good.


Download Blocker was used on the Bash server, it blocks your JJ2 from sending levels/tilesets to clients. This could be useful in organized events like JDC or JJ2WC, where users can download the maps/tilesets from a site before an event therefore stopping servers suffer from download lag.

"ASD" Crash prevent stops the deadly silent attacks which can be launched from the recently leaked "ASD" tool. Certain people have been actively using this online to crash servers. Its a silent cowdly attack, which can now be blocked.

Laser Shield Protection will stop lasers from being used in your Server. Clients can still cheat and get a laser shield, but the server will NOT see the shield, nor will anyother clients (as all data is routed thru the server). If a user starts firing with the laser shield, there charactor will show the firing animation, but will be firing blanks. No one else can see the laser fire as its dropped by the filter.
