[CLIENT] Nodes 1.0.2 (Page 4 of 7)

Just wait European players play at different hours than American ones..

I read your posts. The security hole is known, we need to discuss nodes development in the near future as we are not able to port it to 0.6. (Currently we inherited is the only coder )

I played my first Nodes-Game today and I think its by far the best mod for Teeworlds!

But I still dont get it how to set up a server... where should I put my CFG.-file?
In the application folder? But there is no "config-directory" like in the standard teeworlds?
I'm quite a Noob concerning server settings and it would be great if someone could describe the difference between the "normal" server-settings in 0.6 and Nodes...

Hello,
sry landil but i am still surching for the nodes Source :S
could someone give it to me ?

Wasn't this modification supposed to stay closed-source? Just wondering.

Well... now few months later it's: 0 servers 0 players

But I read in some other thread that a small community is probably a good thing (so let's bite yet again some DDRacers).
Anyway I find it a little bit sad. Probably there would be a live-sign again if the contest ends, but I'm afraid it would took more than that. I still like that mod. But with too less players best graphics and gameplay does not help. Who said noobs are a bad thing?

I will take care of nodes when I do have summer holidays

I'm currently including some security fixes into the server-code of nodes and just found out that there is a static password included into the code. *lol*  - No I would not tell you which one but recommend you to remove the rconpassword to get little bit more save. Before the rcon-pw and the hardcoded one get's checked there is a part which should prevent authentication if there is no PW set. That means - remove sv_rcon_password from the config otherwise you would not just enable your rcon_password but even the hardcoded one. The source was available for a while so it's possible that some found it out and there is even a chance to get it out from binaries afterwards (so hardcoded PWs are no good idea at all anyway).

Well I've completed including some security fixes so far.

Added:
Limited password tries
Max connections per IP
Min delay for connections until new player may connect from same IP
Counter regarding crap messages

Removed:
Annoying hardcoded password

There are some new commands for the config:
sv_max_connections - Maximum count of connection from one IP server can accept
sv_min_ip_con_delay - Min delay in seconds of connnecting from same IP
sv_rcon_tries - How many password tries before ban
sv_rcon_tries_bantime - How much time will the brute rcon password attacker will be banned
sv_netmsg_limit - How many unauthed Command Tries Before ban
sv_netmsg_bantime - How much time will the unauthed rcon command spammer will be banned

I think this can even be continued because I remember some annoying clients that flooded with some messages and caused a client that was logged in via rcon to crash because the client got to many useless info via the rcon console. As far I remember I've solved that in the past by removing some dbg stuff but I currently don't remember which one caused that. Anyway I think that's not critical (it does not affect the server but is "just" annoying to admins that logged in via rcon when some dumb clients are connected).

All downloads are for sure without warranty of any kind. I did not really test a lot but since the current server version of nodes is leaked by a hardcoded password anyway I would not wait too long. It was compiled on old lenny so should run on many current linux-servers. Clients did not change.

- Edit  - Downloads removed after "-1" (read next post) -

And that said - I've already stopped my custom CTF server (which was most time empty anyway) and started hosting Nodes again. 

Btw. Is anybody knowing if current TW-Clients still crash if too many players are playing on TW servers and are shown on master servers?
But I'm afraid it would no option for normal master serves anyway so far cause there are still some playing old 0.5 TW...

Cause it's not 1.0.1 anymore which contains a hardcoded password which is a major leak (especially since the source is public) and cause Landil told me something that would not make me expect too much updates regarding nodes in soon future.

It's no client - and no - you are right - it's not official. Look into the server list man. Nodes is almost dead. Long time: 0 servers 0 players. Now: 2 servers 0 players. For sure I can fork a 0 server - 0 player mod again. But since I've invested time to fix that code and get already -1 for that I would remove it - patch and binaries as well. I would code even further and keep that source and binaries closed and probably call it nodes+ or whatever. *annoyed*

...

I agree

Calm down man! Hey, Post the download links again, but I think that you really shoud Call it Nodes+ Or like you wan to. Sry if I was rude.

Ok. Sorry
