TCHEAT=TIMECHEAT and DISABLED.
- SUMMARY: The current mkw-ana detects following cheats and glitches:
- Using of 19 different glitches is checked.
- Many item cheats are detected. Because of to less packets false
positives are possible. But if really an item cheat is used, the item
cheat counter goes >4 in a race.
- Instant drift is detected. A relative rate is used as trigger to avoid
false positives.
- Moving around before race start is detected.
- Enabling an item before race start is detected.
- Manipulation of finish time is detected.
11. mkw-ana v1.06 r2302 - 2015-07-21
- mkw-ana has now its own backend server. The communication goes over TCP/IP
or unix sockets:
- The server is activated by option --cmd ADDR:PORT or --cmd unix:FILE.
- The backend server supports up to 3 coexistent sockets.
- The server supports telnet negotiation. An active client or the command
INTERACTIVE enables full telnet support. Also typing RETURN as very first
character enables telnet negotiation.
- The telnet interface supports line editing with command history support
and a status line. It shows always the current scanning status.
- Option --history loads and stores a command history.
- Option --wait tells mkw-ana to not terminate and to wait for more
connections.
- Option --exec defines commands, that are executed by a virtual backend
connection in non-interactive modus after setup.
- Try --cmd=0 and "telnet 127.0.0.1 12000" for an interactive session.
- Try --cmd=0 and "echo command | ncat 127.0.0.1:12000" for jobs.
- Command TRACKS prints the track names of selected races.
- Commands TABLES, FINISH, GRANDPRIX and TOTALS print the status tables
for selected races. The table layout can be modified for the client only
or for the main program (=default for new clients).
- Commands SUSPEND and CONTINUE allow small step analysis of the dump.
- Commands KEYS informs about commands key mapping for line editing and for
the pager.
- Commands HELP informs about all available commands and options.
- The warnings about manipulated packets has a new layout. The client IP is
always printed now. This is important if no user data is found.
- Some packets like cheated lightnings are repeated by other clients. The old
version of mkw-ana reported this wrongly as cheat by the carrier.
12. mkw-ana v1.05 r2220 - 2015-07-04
- Bug fix: Under some condition the proxy client instead the original
sender is assigned to a slot named by the racing data.
- New modes for --print and --table: DRIVER, VEHICLE and COMBI. COMBI
combines driver and vehicle into 9 characters of format 'driv,vehi'.
- Option --table supports now the statistics tables STARTER, FINISH,
GRANDPRIX (former EVENT) and TOTALS.
- New option --tfile=file: Read the table definitions from a file.
- New command: TABLES: Print out table columns with usage comments and/or a
complete column description. The output can be edited and used as private
table setup and is compatible with the input format of option {--tfile}.
- More messages adapted to the new message system (with scroll region).
- The CRC32 checksums for data packets are calculated and compared.
A warning is printed on failure.
- Overall, the layout of command RACE is renewed.
