Rebalance Mod 3.56 RC3 Multiplayer / Cheat Kick Issue

    Clean install of Freelancer
    Installed FL Mod Manager 1.3
    Installed Rebalance Mod 3.56 RC3


    Ran the FLserver with Rebalance Mod 3.56 RC3 activated.
    Ran the game.


    Problem: Everytime i left the planet after creating a new player. It would kick me for cheating.


    Error Msg:
    LOG: Possible cheating detected (Equipment exceeds ship specs) by Crim (7ee6e227-4a933f0f-290c392f-cc974786)!


    Can i disable this Cheat Kick? Also tried with 2 Freelancer directories (1 for FL with mod, 1 for Server files with mod)
    Also applied QuickFix v1.0c but didnt fix this Cheat kick problem.

    Hey ok, just noticed ya thread here,


    Can u post me some more info plz.


    What Script options are u running ?
    Setup for SP Op Mp or what ?


    Which Ship ?
    Which Base ?


    I know there are some problems with loadouts in rebalance, the old versions of ships got banged in very sloppily.
    the versions ive worked on 3.56 + are all aimed at resolving these issues, 80% of which i stated should be resolved.


    The whole start section was added to increase stabillity and make sure everyone got off to a better start,
    If your having problems at the start then ill address this first, but if its a certain ship on a certain planet then its avoid able and not a priority fix to make the mod work, as it still functions just missing a ship.


    If you character is stuck in a ship that wont launch just boot up a server opperator like Ironcross and move your player to a diff base with a diff ship ect, just to fix your save.


    But please most of all feed back some more info,
    that way i can see if the problem lies in how ur installing the mod or the mod itself.


    ( on the same note ** Rebalance requires nothing i repeat nothing else apart from a vanila install of freelancer. No Freelancer Patches, No other mods, No fixes or sql's or dll's or anything, Just the Rebalance Flmm activated and the Character editor activated.)

    So post me some more info plz to help resolve this


    What Script options are you running ?
    What OS you runin ?
    On LAN or online ?
    with just starter ships or any ships from Manhatten ?


    I my self have played through all the MP starts online including Liberty Manhatten, all work fine,
    no server cheat problems. Your problem will more than likely be in the setup your using.

    Usually when u use FLMM to load the mod the Options pop up and let u select the choices. I chose these.



    Nothing else was set. Just those exact settings. So let me get this clear, all i am supposed to do is ..


    Fresh Install Freelancer
    Fresh install FLMM 1.3
    Fresh install Rebalance Mod 3.56 (double clicking the FLMM format file)
    Open FLMM and Activate the Mod & Char Editor
    Run the FLServer
    Play the Game


    I intend to host this for LAN only. Running on Windows XP SP3. Server kicks me for cheating when i create a new char with that starting ship, Starflier (i think, the puny starter ship) on Planet Manhattan. Oh yeah .. when i use IONCROSS, it starts the server, the server runs, but IONCROSS seems to freeze when it checks up on the FLserver. No options on the IONCROSS program can be clicked/used.

    thats because you have let the iron cross know what version of freelancer you are running configuration, ifso settings flserver name
    should say FLServer- Version 3.56 Build what ever the build number - FLServer should work after that.

    Ok I have IONCROSS, but i aint sure what u really want to put as a name tho.



    The picture shows my mod version and folder. Now how should i type it in as?



    What could be causing the problem for the super long "Checking Server Status"?

    You also need to make sure u activate the character editor or u will have cheat detection problems


    Your install routine looks fine, just make sure after u activate the main mod u activate the character editor,
    this applys to all 3 OP MP and SP / server or client, they both need the files installed,


    Clients can choose diff options based on how they wish to look,
    server doesnt need to select options from character editor but "does" need it active !


    Apart from that
    Are u running the server and client on the same machine or seperate ?
    Try booting up a server and client on the same machine check see if it connects and gives cheat message.


    If your running it on seperate machines, u need to make sure client options are chosen same as server,
    except in character editor which options are client side only really.

    Ok problem resolved !!!


    Come on guys plx - READ THE README's


    This problem is from not installing the Character Editor !
    The editor as if you read the files is needed 100% to run the mod.
    The character editor also defines the start of the game !!


    ALWAYS on CLIENT + SERVER INSTALL the CHARACTER EDITOR


    sorry for caps but its writted in all the readme's and like 5 times in the tutorials on ModDB.
    Its really not that hard to work out. Activate the Main Mod, then Activate the character editor.


    The only reason the Character editor is a seperate file is so u can keep easily changing the look of your character with out having to keep uninstalling the mod and reinstallin the mod, u just do it with the mini editor.


    I tested this in MP and OP and with out the editor both produced the cheat message described.
    this is because if you dont activate the Chatacter editor ur getting the vanila freelancer files.
    So they dont work with Rebalance ! You need to fully activate the mod then it will all work fine.


    All the best
