Need advices and some help :)

[IronRat]

Hello,

I started server with jk3 (pure base server with fix at lukasarts 1,01.

 

Anyway, allsgoing good untill Omni and TnG was not find it.

 

Omni - ddos. So, i know is there no good defend without big monays, but when he do it i can restart server in 5sec. Will be nice to maybe add some script or something if server ddosing then automatic restart? If it possible.

 

But bigger problem is TnG and leader TnG, Nove. Idk why she do it but he attacking my server. She changing file ASSETS1.pk3 (623MB) on file named same but only 2kb.

 

After that when i try joining to server my game closeing or crushing.

 

So i must reinstal whole server cos its faster than upload 1 file that big like assets1.pk3 (taking about 2-3mins)

 

Some guy sayed to me is pure server rly dangerous. So, i decided to instal OJP or Jazz.

But i wanna ask wich one is better. True is , in that firm were i was buy server have OJP 1.2 c(looks very old version) and they dont have Jazz.

 

I pleased them to take new version OJP. But if u say me is Jazz much better then i will ask them about that modification for my server.

 

Maybe i can do someting more to defend server between that TnG or Omni kids?

 

Best Regards

What you said :

 

- You run a basejka server (JKA 1.01 without modification) and there are people who hack your game.

- Some people speak to you about OJP and JASS

- you have or you want to get a server in a firm. You sounds like you have not all power on your server configuration.

 

What I understand :

 

- If you run a pure basejka server with bugs (callvote and other), I deduced that you have not high skills in modding and server configuration.  So you need something that is easy to use.

- if you run a pure basejka server, I suppose that you want to run a basejka gameplay and not a modified gameplay.

- Warning, OJP = OpenJediProject ≠ OpenJK

 

 

What you need :

 

- You need OpenJK, because OpenJK fix all hacks and is easy to use. It is the best choice.

- If your server firm don't allow you to use OpenJK exe, you can also use JASS but it need little skill to be correctly used (if you can correctly read a "readme", it should be okay).

 

 

What is OpenJK :

 

- Info : http://jkhub.org/topic/2220-frequently-asked-questions/

- Download : http://builds.openjk.org./

- OpenJK is a new exe which replace jamp.exe and jampded.exe.  Run Openjk.x86.exe and OpenjkDed.x86.exe in place of them. It fix hacks and it is compatible with the most recent OS. I recommand you to use a "start openjk.x86.exe +set fs_game openjk" in a .bat file, because OpenJK mod is a little best than base (some additionnal fix). It does not modify the gameplay.

 

 

What is JASS :

- JASS is a plugin for jamp.exe and jampded.exe. It runs before the original jampgamex86.dll to add plugins. There is a protection plugin with fix and a anti-ddos plugin. The gameplay is not altered. The anti-ddos plugin is a software anti-ddos. That means it is the JKA server which will ban IP. It can not protect against real hard DDOS but it can avoid little ddos which crash the jampded.exe and not the OS.

- download : http://jass.ucoz.net/

- the advantage of JASS is that you can install it even your server firm don't let you to use a fixed exe (OpenJK for example). Some friends used it for Japlus with VeryGames which don't let people to run their own exe.

 

 

What is OJP (OpenJediProject)

- OJP is a mod for Jedi Academy and it alters a lot the gameplay. Saber system and weapon system is very different. Players need OJP to join an OJP server. I suppose you want that everybody can join your server. So I don't think OJP is for you. Yes, OJP fix some hacks but all recent mods do that.

- original 1.2 download : http://www.desura.com/mods/open-jedi-project-enhanced

- OJP with assets fix : http://jkhub.org/files/file/1972-openjediproject-v12-fixed-g-by-fja/

- another fix for OJP (only use with Desura version) : http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=214119

- Version 1.3 is in development but has many bugs.

 

 

I think that will help you 

 

 

 

EDIT : Sorry, after receiving death threats from  someone called C*****  the best choice is not OpenJK but CAELUM HOSTING SERVICE !!!!

Thx guys for fast reaply.

 

I should say first, my english isnt high but about codding, moddifing or other thats staff i dont know allmost nothing and tbh didnt wanna learn it

My skills stoped in 80's with commodore 64 and Amiga 500

 

So, bucking to bussines

Caelum

Yesterday in night i was read ur infos about ur hostings. Its rly impresive and nice but making few troubles for me.

 

First is price

U offer 32 slots for 16 euros per week, i have public 12 slots/year = 44 euros. That game is only for fun. I dont wanna pay more for server:) And I know, attack will be at time to time. Well, cheep isnt same safe like that best

Ur minimum server have 32 slots  and i no need more than 12. In matches playing 3 vs 3 sometimes 4 vs 4 and others still need wait in spectacors. So 32 players on server in that game type mean long time to wait

Im prety sure pings on ur server r good. Proably similar like on mine (48-50 for me) or better. Im in Warsaw, server located near Paris.

 

About my server. I just buy space on server (right)? Its hosted by polish game hosting called pukawka.pl. Why? Cos its in my national language and cheep

Can add many files to server, restart, reinstal and do many administrating thing but cant (for now) add all modification. For example. Theres is only openJK v 1.2. When I inform them about it, they will update in 2 weeks. But JASS or OJP isnt alvalible

 

FJA

Your explanations ur understandable even for me with my low language skill and modelling / codding Very helpfully

Is i should wait with instal openJK to update version or instal that one v1.2?

If if my hosting will agree to add JASS better is instaling JASS or openJK?

 

About ddos. I saw ddosed servers with openJK and with JASS same. Ddos isnt that big trouble cos server restarting in 2-3 sec (maybe a little longer)

More what im scare is switching file assets1.pk3. I need onlu 4-5 minuts to reinstal server but is that fille cant be used to attack my own computer, instal some backdoor or something other "hack shit"?

 

I lose 2 nights to understand what happend after two first attacks on that file. Is openJK fix that hole and hacker will cant switch that file?

 

Interesting is, they must be on server in game to make ddos or broke that file. I saw them every time before start attack server. I saw them own or saw they nicks and tags in server automatic save logs.

 

Unfortunable they use VPN and changing IP's so cant them baned permanently. But when I changed pw on server and they cant join, dint attack . No matter how many ppl playing

There are :

 

- OpenJK, which fix all troubles for JKA

- OJP V1.2 = OpenJediProject V1.2, which is a mod for Jedi Academy and which alters the gameplay (like MBII or ForceMod III).

- OpenJK V1.2 DOES NOT EXIST !!!!

 

-------------------------------

 

The fact is that original JKA has several possibility of hacks : hackers can modify the game's files and crash your server. Your computer is not affected and you have no virus. There is no hackshit, just the possibility to modify the JKA server and the JKA files.

 

OpenJK fix all these troubles. Hackers will be not longer able to crash your server or modify game's files.

 

-------------------------------

 

Caelum hosting service is not 16€ per WEEK but 16€ per MONTH.

Yeah it is more expansive than 44€ per year, but you can install all mods you want and Caelum help you to fix all problems and to install mods and securities you want.

 

------------------------------

 

One question to Caelum : can we take part-time servers ?

For example pay only 5€ per month to get a server running only during the Week-ends ?
