BIKEY issues
UPDATE: The bisign files should work now, please ensure the mod is updated on both the server and clients.


Known issue reported by [KEK]Eathen.

- Server isn't recognizing the pbo's as signed, even when the key is included.

If attempting to verify yourself, please ensure that the mod on the server itself is updated, since i replaced the bisign files with new ones.

WORKAROUND
This workaround should probably only be used when your server is password protected and you implicity trust the players on it to not ♥♥♥♥ around with it.

In server.cfg, there should be a line that says "verifySignatures = 2;", turn that into "verifySignatures = 0;" and the server shouldnt check signiatures, however this means that there wont be any security against people joining with mods that you dont like (such as cheat mods), hence the requirement to trust the users connecting.

@[KEK]Eathen, you've made sure that the sign files on the server itself have been replaced with the new ones right?

Yes.
#2
Eathen 31 Dec, 2019 @ 4:34am 
But even if the mod is optional it does not recognize it.

Sorry if it sounds a bit patronising but have you copied the key into the proper file on the server itself?

He sees the key and can join, but already in the game he writes that the pbo files are not signed

The key is in the right place.)))

As he updated his mod to the latest version? from experience sometimes you might find that mods dont update themselves and may have to be repaired.

Otherwise if thats not the case, my only other solution is to delete the mod on the server, as well as the users attempting to join, and reinstall them. Sorry if im not much help after that, i simply don't have an idea at this time of what the exact problem is considering the files are indeed signed, but this issue is my highest priority.

If you're doing an op with just a few friends, a good temporary (or permanent depending on how you feel and what you use the server for) is to disable file checking in the server.cfg i think.

There were several resets of the mod, as well as attempts to fix it. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

Elaborating on the workaround, its best if the server has a password and you trust the users connecting before you do this, but in server.cfg there might be a line that says "verifySignatures = 2;", if you turn the 2 into a 0 the server wont check for sign files i think.

Some news @[KEK]Eathen, i believe the sign file for the backpacks.pbo is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ so il look at replacing that, testing, then releasing.

I believe i've found the real issue, DSUtils, the program i used for signing the files has a bug, meaning all my sign files for all my mods are currently incorrect. I will rectify these in updates soon.

Anthrax  [developer] 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:19am 
I've updated the mod, please get back to me as soon as you can.

Eathen 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:36am 
Problem solved, thanks for your help.

Anthrax  [developer] 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:36am 
Great to hear, and big thank you for alerting me to this issue.
