My good friend Sebastian has been working on an anti-cheat after I highlighted the problem to him. He's a really great guy and this is his gift to the FSE Community.
Sebastian:
Hello Community.Since many game servers got infested by cheaters, I decided to write a simple yet effective server-side anti-cheat system.
The anti cheat system successfully tracks hacking incidents, messages admins about those incidents and treats the cheating players accordingly.
At the moment the anti cheat system provides working detection for the following hacks.- Unblockable Attacks
This hack works by exploiting an engine bug, and is currently the most game breaking cheat out there.
The hack triggers after the player starts a melee attack, it simply executes the attack from a different direction (which the weapon does not support).
The engine executes the invalid attack, but keeps playing the animation of the initial attack/direction.
So it's impossible for other players to block the attack.
- Autoblock
This hack simply turns on the automatic blocking for the cheating player, even if the server has set it to manual.
- Aimbot
Temporarily turns on the AI for the cheating player, which results in superb accuracy in ranged combat.
Check out the changelog for more features.
Ready-to-use FilesThe latest server-engine, compiled module files aswell as the modsys of Native, Napoleonic Wars and Viking Conquest can be downloaded
HERE
Code implementation for modded/different modulesThe implementation requires the server to run on v1.161 or latter.
Add this to
module_constants.

Add this to the top of
module_mission_templates, below the commented mission-description.

Initial Release
Known IssuesThere might be rare incidents of false-positives, this is the reason why kicking / banning is disabled in the current version.
However this can be changed by adjusting the variable "$hack_consequence" at script "mbac_init". It's all up to the related parameters, which need fine tuning.
In order to speed up this progress I need as many server logs as possible.
So if you want to help with this, you can send me your server
(using the anit cheat, ofc) logs.
I promise to keep them confidential.
Your support will be very appreciated!
