Panthera 2.9 No trees for some players

[LePogo]

Hi!

 

I realised some of my players were playing on a different version of the panthera map. They able to play without any trees or almost no trees... Witch gave them a bid advantage on other players. I saw some of them running through trees and rocks, landing a plane in a forest, etc.

 

So far, from what i understand, the players on my server with that problem got their map files from playwithsix. All other players who actually see the map without errors took the files from armaholic.

 

I tried setting

verifySignatures = 2;

 

along with..

 

onDifferentData = "kick (_this select 0)";

 

in my config.cfg

 

I still need to wait for the players I that have this problem to try to connect. If my fix works it should kick them. I aldo added a message in the MOTD saying to get the map from armaholic if they get kicked. Ill update the post when I will know if it works or not.

 

I just wanted to expose the problem to everyone because my players are telling me they can also connect on bigger servers (30+ players) and exploit the same glitch. So I think the community should know about this so that we can find a permanent fix.

Can't say how to stop it but they are obviously deleting their tree.pbo"s

Can simply deleting that file even work? would the client not crash out without it?

Looks like my attempt tro detect it and kick those player didnt worked. Any Ideas?

 

 

EDIT :

 

onDifferentData : signed pbo detected with a valid signature, but a different version than a server has (very strict test, use sparingly, no longer supported in Arma 2 OA 95232)

 

This is why it doesnt kick players... its disabled...

 

 

EDIT 2 : 

Guys I think I foud what I need to do!

 

keep using 

verifySignatures = 2;

 

...along with:

regularCheck="";                          *note that by default it was set as regularCheck="{}";      wich disable the check...

 

Tried deleting my ibr_plants PBO like my players were doing and I got Kicked it the first 30 seconds

Then I put the PBO back in place and connected again.. nd i'm connected for about 10 minutes now...
