NoCheat

Thank You!
Thanks to everyone who used and liked this plugin. I've set the plugin to "abandoned" status myself (that's why there is a red box above this text), because it describes best the current status of this plugin. Thanks to everyone that supported me during the year of development, with money, bug reports or simply kind words.
What now?
NoCheat 3.5.0 no longer works with recent CraftBukkit build and you will no longer get any updates or support from me anymore.
If you want to see the original version of this description page for this plugin, you can find a copy of it here: Original plugin description
Replacements for NoCheat
Check out these plugins.
NoCheat+
It is based on NoCheat's code and is therefore similar in how it works. But it also adds a ton of new features. You can find it HERE.
NoCheat Classic
It is the original NoCheat without any modifications beyond what is necessary to make it work on modern CraftBukkit versions. If you like NoCheat exactly the way it is, this may be what you are looking for. You can find it HERE.
AntiCheat
Is a new plugin that's built from scratch. That means it will behave and feel different to NoCheat. I'm sure the developer appreciates new users and bug reports. Get it HERE.
Make your own
Don't like the presented alternatives? You may just create your own plugin instead. The source code for NoCheat is HERE.

Posted Feb 20, 2012Need a permission node that can be added to a group, whereby any nocheat spam someone in in, might normally generate for someone who has - nocheat.admin.chatlog ...is prevented from doing so.
ie Admin chucks a retard in a prisoner group, and any nocheat spam they could cause is no longer seen.
Maybe its already possible or not?

Yes, I just checked an hour ago and it seems that my plugin doesn't break from the changes that got made to CraftBukkit for R5. So the current version should just keep working like it does now.
I can't say the same for the Minecraft 1.2 dev builds that will come afterwards though. I'll have to see them first. But there isn't that much in NoCheat that directly interacts with Minecraft anymore, so even if something breaks it should be very easy to fix.

Posted Feb 20, 2012The next recommended build is for Minecraft 1.2, R5, and I and everyone who uses this plugin will greatly appreciate it if you can get a head start on the plugin so it's update to support the new revision when Minecraft 1.2 is officially released along with Bukkit R5.

Posted Feb 20, 2012Updated Instructions.txt again. Now it also includes the "Permissions" stuff, so I deleted that seperate page from here.
PS: Also started rewriting the OP here. In general I try to compress information on this site and/or move it to the "Instructions.txt" file.

It means that their IP address is listed on those two servers for being open proxy servers, the source of E-Mail-Spam or part of a botnet. See http://www.dnsbl.info for an explaination.
These blacklists have nothing to do with Minecraft directly, they are an indicator for if a player tries to hide his IP from the server admin by using proxy servers (which they usually do if they want to do something bad to the server, e.g. grief or spam).
EDIT: Most likely I'll remove that check anyway with the next version, now that a plugin specifically to combat that spam bot tool was released.

Posted Feb 20, 2012when it says 'NC: (IGN) blacklisted on 2 other servers chat.spam (and then 2 IPs)'
does that mean they got banned from those two servers for spamming?
and did a person ban them, or did nocheat automatically ban them?

Not sure what you mean. The only thing of NoCheat that's CPU intensive is the "move.runfly" and "move.flying" checks. They usually are responsible for 90% of the CPU time of NoCheat. And those are already pretty much at the limits of what's possible in terms of optimization.
You can try to deactivate those two for a short time and see if you get any performance improvement out of it. If not, then your problem lies elsewhere.

Posted Feb 19, 2012Can you give me some pointers on how to extend the time for a check on certain commands to reduce CPU lag but still keep it effective? I've got nolagg configured pretty tight and I think nocheat is my CPU issue at the moment. I don't know if reducing the check time will break some of the fight checks and what not.

Posted Feb 19, 2012There is a new player in town: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/antipwnage/
I haven't seen the actual plugin yet, but if it works well (which I think it does), I'll remove the "spambot" stuff from NoCheat and ask you to just use that plugin.
Working against that spambot program is imho really something that's complex enough to be its own plugin, especially when the to be expected arms-race between both sides starts.

Posted Feb 19, 2012It would be nice if it had an option to limit the number of blocks per second, to prevent FastBlockPlace.

That your IP or the IP of the proxy server that you use is blacklisted by zen.spamhaus.org for being the source of E-Mail spam, being a public proxy server or similar things.
But you can ask the admin of the server to replace the server list that is in the NoCheat config with the new default values that I've set in 3.4.1, which no longer include that specific server (he'll have to delete that line from the config.yml and do a "/nocheat reload" to get a new list.
@Gaurav1234
Ask the developer of mcMMO then. He is doing something strange when it comes to block breaking, it seems. Other plugins that allow instant breaking of blocks don't cause any problems like that.

Please at least write what alerts you get from NoCheat. I don't use other plugins.

Posted Feb 19, 2012OK, Nocheat is conflicting with mcMMO. As in, it wont let people use superbreaker on certain blocks (such as obsidian) It gives me MANY alerts when they try to use it on obsidian, and it ends up not letting them break blocks with it. Can you create a fix for this?
Thanks, Gaurav1234
EDIT: insta-plant for mcMMO also causes a conflict, along with many other skills
