Well, all the best to you giving the cruise server a go, but don't be too surprised if it gets attacked to the point that you lose interest!

Our machine is with OVH but the protection is only useful when it works, which it doesn't... most of the time.

You would probably need to start with creating layouts for each of the tracks, creation of junctions, parking areas, job spots, separating road lines, stop junctions lines, tyre stacks etc etc.

You will also need to be able to code locations and their functions into an InSim before it will be of any use.

... not sure what else to give you, but thats the basic building blocks (bar already having an available LFS server).

Suppose I could answer your questions tho..

1. What is a 'Cruise' server?
   A) A server where users adhere to near real road rules, do jobs to buy better cars, get chased by police etc
   
2. How do you set a 'Cruise' server up?
   A) You could go with Chriship's service since he is the*only* host that never seems to get attacked. *hmm!*
   
3. What is InSim?
   A) The in game system that handles cars, cash, cop system, speed limits etc et etc. Some are coded in .net some in PHP. The one RC used is called PRISM and is available on these forums.
   

Short answer...

I wouldn't waste your time running a cruise server unless you are prepared to fork out on network attack protection.

Seems LFS still has a group of trolls intentionally attacking cruise servers - I've put up with it for near 2 years, shit started again this afternoon... I have now switched the lot off, complete time sink. (Reality Cruise).

It is not worth the time and effort.

Maybe try older drivers for your GFX card and make sure your DirectX is working properly. It should work in both full and windowed.

Once again, butthurrt mate, you don't know anything haha claiming we dos you all the time and then you threaten me with your linux crap, do it. you wont, no balls mate. I'm still waiting for this 8month attack or what ever you said? where is it?

8 month? You clearly need to get your ears fixed or stop 'hearing what you want to hear' fking moron.

Why should I stoop to the remedial level that you retards do?, I am taking a nice documented and structured approach to your demise.

I've got nothing else to say on the matter.

Ahahahahahhahaha.

its fixed

I can sort of get on but its saying by username doesn't exist :-S

It appears the retard is at it again, now nullrouting traffic to that box until further notice - screw him, he's not worth the data transfer waste, nor the administration time.

Is it like Ancilenet wrote "Anyhow thanks LFS Dev's for taking action on someone who has been pissing people off for months." ?

I can't tell if that was sarcastic or not ... but either way, how was I supposed to do something about it if I didn't know about it?

That was a compliment! - I only emailed you guys after I had done some research on the guy and wanted to point out that he was till causing people problems.

I'm not gonna comment on the security side because when you have 60+ GB of data inbound, no 'software' firewall will save you. By time I got back in to box there was no useful information in logs of what type of DDoS it was.... So I had nothing to post.

Anyhow thanks LFS Dev's for taking action on someone who has been pissing people off for months.

Quote from Anthoop :

If enough people ban him then he will get an automatic global ban, 30 days I think.....

That won't work - Povo has been permanently muted on WS Metropilis due to HeCosmin's threat of network ddos if he is allowed to speak.

Its about time the Dev's abolished this no life waste of space's account.

This idiot has been attacking my box for the last 3 hours and most of yesterday too. Again because he was banned. ([LsC] Server). From what I can gather hes Italian?, but I have not done much more digging as I've not had the time.

From what i've seen it is DDoS, which yesterday was on port 80 - i'm not sure what port hes trying to hammer now. I'm sure the e-crime unit will find my hosts router/switch port logs fascinating.

Anyways not best pleased as the guy is wasting my time and that of my hosts with his skill-less attack.

Posted in povo thread instead.
