Know False Positives \ Feature Concerns

  • Ignore Control: Excessive Latency will cause false flags, if the lag is that bad they shouldnt even be playing on the server but it was shown that was the case in CC

  • Ignore Z-Axis Hack: On occaussion depending on player's build at times the player may get hit with a false positive based on if there are "potholes" in the maps\vmaps. Updating maps\vmaps ot latest will help reduce this, ensure compile and maps are at latest.

  • Auto Moderation Jail Feature If offender is a DK in the DK Starter Area they will be shackled on the spot and not teleported. Its the way the core handles keeping the DK in it's zone until successifully completed.

  • Following will Jail Break a player out [Issue 59]: Summoned by a GM (.sum)

Common Sense Notice

This anticheat is designed to operate with none modded characters. Modding characters beyond the basic stats of what they are suppose to have possible will cause issues in some cases with false flags. Using select GM CMDS while not in .gm on may cause flags as well. It goes back to the character being modified for that moment outside of stock.

Custom Map Notice

Due to the unique handling and creation methods of custom maps with the GroundZ + FloorZ and player Z handling, lack of propper mmaps and vmaps, You may experience false detection hits for Teleport to Pane and Ignore Z Axis and other detections. This is due to impropper creation of the custom map and not the handling of the anticheat itself.

Apply SQLs Files

  1. Files are located in the mod-anticheat/sql folder.
  2. Apply charactersdb_anticheat.sql to the acore_characters DB.
  3. Apply Acore_strings.sql to the acore_world DB.

Understanding the Report Tables

Characters DB:

players_reports_status Table: is the logged anticheat stats for the players current active sessions.

daily_players_reports Table: is the log of the players life time anticheat stats that is logged until purged with .anticheat purge gm cmd. image

GM CMDS

  • .anticheat global Informs you if anticheat is turned on
  • .anticheat player Tells you current auto reports
  • .anticheat delete PLAYERNAME Deletes reports on player from anticheat system
  • .anticheat purge completely clears the player_daily_reports table
  • .anticheat jail Sends Player to gm jail which then shackles them and hearthstone binds them to gm jail.
  • .anticheat parole Recommended to be used in gm jail, teles to faction capital and rebinds hearthstone there while clearing their reports and their deserter auras.
  • .anticheat warn Sends player warning message that they are being monitored

World Console Logging

Currently spams into server.log and world console

Put in world conf if you want the anticheat to dump into its own file instead of the server.log:

Appender.Anticheat=2,4,15,anticheat.log,a

Logger.anticheat.module=4, Anticheat

Change up existing Logger.module in worldserver.conf:

Logger.module=4, Console Server
