[REL] ConGuard (Network/connection helper)

[Lpsd]

ConGuard
Network/connection helper for MTA:SA

This resource provides measures to deal with lagswitch / connection abuse in MTA (commonly seen in Destruction Derby servers, although you can use this resource in any environment/mode you wish).

When a player loses connection to the server, the player (and their vehicle, if it exists) will be frozen for all remote players and a "lost connection" icon will be placed above the player. Upon re-connection, the player will be unfrozen and (by default) set back to their original position before they lost connection, to avoid the teleporting exploit.

ConGuard has a few configurable options (explained on the GitHub page) and is also based on dimensions, which is useful for multi-gamemode servers who don't want to activate this in every room.

The source code & documentation can be found on GitHub below.

Version 1.0 has just been released, it's a refactor but keeps all existing API / functionality (better code design and bug fixes).

Currently this resource only detects a fully lost connection (which only helps for "basic" lag-switches that kill the connection temporarily), however I'll soon be adding basic ping monitoring, with the ability to detect players with highly fluctuating ping / packet loss.
