Hi All,

[Ideas]

I was wondering if anyone had considered the idea of letting players vote on kicking cheaters. (i.e. a 2/3 majority of voters is required).

Additionally I would suggest that this method of banning only lasts for 1 day or so.
Hence, if a cheater comes back they just get banned again.
If someone is wrongly banned it doesn’t penalize them too much, as they just play on another server for a day.


The other idea I had was about the trust issue where people were complaining that they don’t trust the developers of RenGuard.
An option here would be for you to digitally sign the executable.

I know that this doesn’t preclude RenGuard developers from doing something nasty, however IMO it is far less likely that the code will contain something, when there is a digital trail for law enforcement to follow.


[Help]
I am trying to write my own regulator program.

However I am running into a problem that I can't read the dedicated server output, would any of you be kind enough to give me a few pointers as to how to capture the output?

TIA,
Gib

We already have BlazeRegulator, we don't need another remote administration program.

we'd love an alternative to BR....dont listen to him...we could always use another regulator program

Don't listen to me? If he can't figure out that the FDS output is the logging text then he probably can't make anything like BR.

I'm working on a web-based utility for people who run the FDS at their homes (as soon as its done I will be releasing it to all). Although BlazeRegulator is a decent program and I feel we should all be helping eachother in experiment programs, ACK is right. If you can't figure out the output you may wish to reconsider your project.

In any case, I'm willing to give you a few pointers.

If you want a web-based application for running your server, look no further than FDSWeb:

Thank you all, for you comments.

Sometimes I don't think of the obvious (such as log files).
That’s why I ask for help.

Thanks again,
Gib.

FDSweb is no good for large games.
