Hi All,
Wanted to let you know that we've changed the company protection Plugin to kick players who try to enter a protected company (without a password) to many times!
Let me explain: When a company is created, the system checks who created the company and which IP Address the player has... It then puts the hostname in the database as some sort of key to the new company. When this player doesn't put a password on his company, everyone can join in the original OpenTTD. We have setup a system where the hostname of the joining player is checked and when it doesn't match the hostname of the company owner in the database, the player is put back to spectator.
In the past players could try alot of times without any problems, but that generated alot of messages, from now on a player can try 2 times, when they continue to join after those 2 times they get kicked by the server!
Best regards,
Frank
