"DoLuaChecksum" in "Other" in the options of the server.

Hey, Did he also tried to deactivate firewall ? Did you deactivate firewall aswell ? The screen you have doesn't help us.

I'm with you on that one. Would be pretty good to see a backpack on each arm plus one on your back of course.

Rent a server online.

If people cheats online on our servers, i think we deserve to know who they are. It's not like you are giving their true names and where they live. You are just giving their steam profiles, right ?

1. For now, it seems that it's very troublesome to make the server read your "Woodhugger" instead of the servertest config settings. You can rename it into servertest.ini, it'll work. 2. EDIT : Yes, it's that one. But you can also check here : Advanced > Population Don't have the files here but it's not that thing. You have to change the respawn value or/and multiplicator. 3. Don't know. If nobody answers, i'll edit my message in 2 hours to give you the answer. EDIT : What is the value "4" ? You can't put a number in Loot Respawn. If you put "Every day" on loot respawn, well, the loot will respawn every day on houses, containers... EDIT 2 : "4" is for the Max Items ? It means that it'll respawn a maximum amount of 4 items every hour. But since the value of Respawn Every Hour is set as 0, well, it does nothing.

For now, there is no option to claim player-built houses.

You have to enable the option to claim. Project Zomboid Server Settings > Safehouse > Players may claim (check)

The lucky trait only affects your drop rate and repair chance by the way I'd also welcome this option for a server. The more there are options, the more it'll be customisable and the more fun it'll be. Or not. It's just, that if i need to feel the impact of a death, i'd add the permadeath on the server. (extreme way)

I reassure you. If you die and respawn at the early days, it'll still be easy to survive but once there'll be no electricity and water, you'll have a hard time. I don't see the point of increasing by 1 point each time you die and respawn. Makes no sense. You'll already taste the price of death once you survive long enough and then lose your character with a level 5 carpenter for example. (I'm telling you that only if you're talking about your own server, not about a server you joined on the public list)

Oh, he keeps doing that then... The only issue is to blacklist his IP address from your servers or play in private only :/

This is maybe a silly question but did you try to deactivate your firewall (the windows one) ? (tell your friend to do the same)

You can't play in LAN without creating a server. To play in LAN, you have to create a private server. And to run a server :

No, thank you for doing a great job. I didn't know you were that active ! You can close the thread if you want.

I don't think i'll use a whitelist but thank you for the advice. Instead, i'll check about the safehouse feature. Do you think that hackers can even destroy safehouses ? I'll also add that the hacker may even see the other players (ESP thing)

Thanks for replying quickly. I see. We just wanted some events related to players (and we got some interesting events with players before that) instead of just choppers and some firing shots, guess we were too naive about not having thought about hackers. Will the vulnerabilities be fixed later, may i hope ? EDIT : Also, will something will be done about the player ? Or nothing can be done ?

Hello, Today, a hacker named "rag" joined my server while i wasn't there but my friend was here. My friend wanted to meet him so he set a rendez-vous point and the hacker said he was in west point, our base was at north farm (you can check where it is from pzmap). The spawn points were set as default so we knew where he could have spawned but he didn't take 10 minutes from west point to our base (that is impossible, even if you run all the way) without knowing it first and waited my friend there and killed him with a shotgun once my friend returned to the base (he discovered first the burnt house and then got killed). It was at the moment my friend got killed that he told me the story so i quickly banned him and closed the server. I did that because i didn't wanted him to do more damage to the server and i closed the server because i set a save every 3 minutes so i hoped that he burnt the house before the save but i was too late. I regret at that time that, instead of banning him, i should have joined the server as a player and tried to see by my own eyes and caught him cheating. When i checked the logs later, i saw that the "sony" guy who tried to join got kicked because of the lua/script checksums but is also the friend of the "rag" hacker. This is "rag" : http://steamcommunity.com/id/tasfasg1254125125/ and this is "sony" : http://steamcommunity.com/id/PlayerSonyxxx/ And so, that's why i'm reporting him for hacking (Teleporting at least) in PZ. (Spawn points : default Server in public list and unknown players may join VAC activated Steam clients only) Here's some extracts from my log : user log - [22-04-16 23:03:18] 76561198096434118 "rag" ip=201.68.117.199 (from TCP port test).

For your information, they were some random players that joined our servers and either helped us building our base, either they tried to kill us (but be killed instead). But if there is hackers that can bypass VAC, nowhere is safe. (private only) Thanks for reading my complaint and i hope something can be done against this player. 22-04-16_20-31_chat.txt 22-04-16_23-22_pvp.txt
