i'm using Gracia T2.2 branches.
I want to know if its possible to limit the number of clients a player can open in his computer (not by IP).
i want to limit to 1 because almost the players open 4 o 5 clients and the roleplaying is lost, but i don´t want lo limit by ip because some players are playing under the same ip address.

it's possible to identify the computer of the player by the server?

Thanks

Without some client-side software it's impossible

ok, so maybe i need other software to do that.

if someone knows a way to do that i can implement it, but i don´t know where start.

thx

With proper firewall software you can limit the amount of connections per IP to a specific port. I'm talking about highly configurable software or linux and a good working knowledge of iptables.

True but he said

and here we are. Afaik there is no way how to limit number of game clients without some client-side software.

yes, i understand that it's possible only with additional software, my question is what should do that software

thanks for the replies

You won't get any answer to that, Client Modifications are prohibited

mmm

you are right, the only way is by client modification... shit!

well... thanks anyway

Hm, maybe some low-level application could do this without any client modification. Something like residential scanner but it should have some server-side to check if the scanner is running so another piece of sh** like GameGuard, more problems and no positives in compare to negatives.

Well you could write a simple program that checks for the existence of multiple L2 clients on the client side,
maybe make it mandatory to start the executable via a launcher of yours which then starts the background progress.
Then you built-in a server side socket that listens for those connections and checks on multiple clients. Of course that's all way apart from everything you thought of I guess.

No, I would say there is no easy way to guarantee that there is only one client running on the machine.
