<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Andreas says this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> List, <BR> <BR> most of the cheats
are due to the CRC checks in 1.31 not being very <BR> effective. <BR>
<BR> We're overhauling this for 1.4 and in the strictest mode the server
will <BR> only <BR> allow clients playing with the original files,
nothing else. <BR> <BR> The server administrator can also decide to
add additional CRC bundles for <BR> clients using certain mods he decides
to allow. <BR> <BR> More info on this when the patch is released.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Yes, this is the idea. There will actually be one
CRC line for each map and <BR>game mode <BR>for every mod. This file can be
generated by using a shell script to loop <BR>over all <BR>the maps and game
modes and have the executable spit out the CRCs. <BR><BR>Please stop this thread
now though, it doesn't have anything to do with the <BR>linux server. <BR><BR>//

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And EA says this just now:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>When content check is turned on by the server
admin (default setting in the dedicated server front end), only players with
completely clean BF 1942 installs will be able to play on the server. When
content check is turned off by the server admin, anyone can join the server,
whether they are running the merciless mod, or have have Desert Combat
installed. <BR><BR>Currently, server admins will not be able to run content
check servers that have user created maps/mods installed. If they do, clients
will not be able to connect to those servers, regardless of whether or not they
have the same maps/mods installed as the server. </FONT><BR></DIV>
