New Admins desperate needs help!!!

[TvK]

First of all, sorry for my bad English, i'm Dutch.
We are a new clan (Team NL) and are hosting a 50-slots BF2 ranked server since last friday (IP: 84.244.171.33:16567).
We have a few Admins, but we are stll learnig how to be an Admin and how to use our Admin commands.

Now we have the following problem:

We where palying in different maps on our own server, when someone used CARtillary. One time 10 Vodniks came from the sky, the other time 10 HMMWV's. This happens over and over again.

We know it's a hack, but we couldn't trace the one who used this hack.

We only know that this cheater was NOT commander at that time, because two of our members where.

Another strange thing happened, our commanders (both USMC and MEC commanders), where kicked as commander WITHOUT vote...

Is there someone who can help us track down a cheater who is doing this? We are using BF2CC, but in that program, whe can't find anything what could help us identify the cheater(s). Perhaps there is a little program that can help us, or a way to read a log where we can read what everyone is doing on our server, we don't know.

PLEASE help us!!!! We don't want ANY cheats on our server and if there are cheaters, we want to trace them so they can be banned. If we can find out who they are, we will report them to EA also.

Please contact us to help. Our website is www.teamnl.nl, our forum is www.teamnl.nl/forum (mostly in Dutch, but you can write your message in English).
You can also send me an e-mail if you want, to tvk@teamnl.nl

I hope someone (other Admins?) can help us AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!!!

TIA

Supposidly that hack is untraceable.

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

Thanks for your reply, but is that a FACT, or do you THINK we can't trace it?

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

Its not a fact, its just SUPPOSED to be untracable..

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

I hope that someone knows a way to trace them or how to prevent this hack on our server

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

so far - no way to track the hacker
just take screen shots of your player tab in bf2cc
and try to keep tack
and you are NOT the only server/clan effected with this
ps
good luck with your new server !

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

Thanks TopGunGreg,

We did take screenshots of the playertab, but we don't know WHO is doing this, so we can't keep track..... There was no player with suspicious points....

If you use battlecorder you may be able to tell who is doing it.

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

We could use the battlerecorder, but we don't know what to look for.... There where 50 people playing, so what action is suspicious? The cartillary only takes 5 seconds or so every time, so we can't suspect every player who is not moving for 5 seconds......

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

Best way is to SS the player tab and keep track of who is in the server when it happens...we've had it happen as well, and there's no real way to trace. You may be able to spot in BR, but you'd only be looking for a regular player to stop for a few moments to initiate the command. Most of the uber hacks nowadays have menus, so its likely you may not even spot them stopping.

Enable Punkbuster screen shots and review them. Might me cumbersome but it should help

The server admins that have access to the Server Admin's Lounge here on the TotalBF2 forums are currently working to find common players. I suggest that if you own a server you join forum, so that you can get information on this kind of stuff.

Mcarda, Thanks a lot for this tip,

I will do that right now, maybe it will help us.

No problem, any time.

It may take a few days or so to get access to it but is well worthwhile.

Re: New Admins desperate needs help!!!

Ask <<R2>>Capt.HKS he runs the infamous RAGING REBELS SERVER. I believe you can take PB screenshots of players but I don't know how. I think battlerecorder is a good idea also. Everybody moves during gameplay except the commander, sometimes you will see the commanders weapons pointed straight up in the air. I think its caused by using the commands.
