eSTEAMATiON 2.0 PreRC2 PUBLIC STAGE-4 - ViTYAN


Legacy 1.X versions:
eSTEAMATiON Steam Emulation System v1.8
Mirror

HL1 eSTEAMATiON v1.6 Prepared SuperEngines Pack
Mirror

pass:csmania


CHANGELOG:
2.0 PreRC2 STAGE-4
New:
Completely new startup system: No VLDR,Special Steam.DLL's and other stuff required anymore.
Lots of cleanups in the old STEAM2-AUTH code and new STEAM3 SCI code(Since latest public versions).
Fully modularized.
Full support for STEAM3 servers(via eSTEAMATiON SCI subsystem) - Includes TF2,DOD:S,L4D1,L4D2. GoldSource is not yet supported but soon it will get in too.
Full support for legacy STEAM2 subsystem(via eSTEAMATION STEAM2-AUTH subsystem).
Full support for wide range of new clients: RevEmu 2Nd Gen and 3Rd Gen,RevCrew SteamUp, SteamUp/AVSMP, Setti's STEAM3 bot scanner.
Removed SharedID feature coz it is useless
SteamEmuCompat only applies to SteamEmu and HookEmu now.
Added complete custom messages for clients rejecting.
Added diffirentized support of Legit Steam vs Cracked Steam in STEAM3 SCI subsystem
Added BINCACHE feature: Instead of scanning the steamclient each startup it will only be scanned during first run after installation and first run after pulling gameserver update from the net which installas a new version of steamclient(BINCACHE consistency protection). This feature was a neccesary move as each scan can take as long as half of the minute so consider the slowdown(And quite high CPU usage + new scans every map change) to be quite harmfull.

1.8
NEW:
Added implementation and support for eSTEAMATiON SemiSteam Client(include adavanced native AUTH).
With SemiSteam clients Source 2007 servers will move forward.
Added support for unknown clients which uses common properties of known emulators.
FIXED: Client got different IDs with different emus even if SteamEmu Compatability Mode was turned on. Thanks to warezz for reporting this.
CREDITS: ChrisTX,Andy and Python1320 for testing.

1.7
FIXES: Legit Steam clients could join the server even if rejected by policy then Unknown clients are enabled.

All manuals have been updated to represent the latest changes and be compleant with latest structures of the system.
NEW:
Unknown clients which try to simulate Steam clients(like old RevEmu) are now supported as special type of clients.
Special option which will log types of dropped clients and allow admins to always know this information.
HookEmu 3.51+ New ticket is now supported. It shares the same client allow/drop option AcceptHookEmuClients.
New advanced clients reject mode will let clients to bypass first validation stage and drop them during advanced process later.
If turned on eSTEAMATiON servers can infiltrate to setti's master servers list even if you just drop all client out.
New Steam.dll(Double-DLL) design feature for Windows version of eSTEAMATiON 1.7 brings full logging and security capabilities to windows too(prior to this release Steam clients could not be filtred out). New design has one additional advantage: You can put eSTEAMATiON libraries into your Steam/Cracked Steam folder(For cracked Steam apply your favourite patch to Steam.dll from eSTEAMATiON Package) and every game youll start from it will have eSTEAMATiON powered listen server(You'll need to patch engine from local cache with VUP).
HL1-Linux(Not amd64) has full logging support now(i hope )
Steam.dll's from Source/Source 2007 are now based on latest Steam.dll file from Valve.
CREDITS:
Andy - for porting Ressourcector's german manual to updated manual and additional setti testing.

1.6
FIXES:
Fixed 2 security vulnerabilities which could crash the server(one of them activated by old RevEmu client emulators)
Fixed SHARED_ID option didnt applied to new Non-Steam and WON client types
Removed in-emu WON support on Source/Source 2007 builds
Added Setti server scanner to default built-in config(in case you dont put the config file with installation). For HL1 build WON clients support will be turned on in built-in config.
To properly support SHARED_ID's Big engine pack was updated too and includes now 2 main directories: One with engines from previous 1.5 pack and 2nd with the same engines patched to support multiplications of ID's on the server.
VUP update for Source based engines to remove "double-ID" protection will follow in coming weekend.
Ive copied the buggy Steam.dll file for Source again in 1.5 and now in 1.6 ive finally put the normal one
CHANGES:
Some code improvements and optimizations
CREDOZ:
II) jamess - for important security report.
ChrisTX - for hard and cool testing. It was cool to work with ya



1.5
NEW: Support for setti server scanner as independent client
NEW: Support for Legacy SteamEmu(< 3.75) clients
NEW: Support for -nosteam(WON) HL1 clients
NEW: Released Engines Pack for HL1 admins(with 2783 and newest engines with my latest clean patches and new unique vulnerability fix)
FIXED: Source Linux build was not functional with Source 2007 engine. Made a separate library in new folder "Source 2007 Engine" with engine which can be run on server. This library also includes additional 3 functions which are only available in Source 2007 ticket library. NOTE:Clients still lack auth support so dont be too stupid to install now. Use engine patches instead.
FIXED:
Bug in Source Steam.dll file which lead to server crash during start-up.
CHANGED:
Improved new ID generation system(added in 1.1). Tested bans with banid/writeid/removeid. Works just fine and IDs written correctly to bans cfg file
CREDOZ:
2)cintX - for providing link to 2738 WIN32 engine(ie CS 1.6 v15 install package)
3)Python1320 - lil testing
4)MadMakz/warezz for providing setti server scanner information


1.1
Added new auth config parameter to make SteamID permanent regardless of used client emulator(in 99% cases)

1.0
First release with initial set of good features

eSTEAMATiON is advanced and flexible Steam emulator which ive designed especially for Valve's dedicated servers.
It comes with built-in support of SteamEmu(hCupa),RevEMu(shmelle/Mitsukarina) and HookEmu(cintX) and able to authorize them by their UniqueID's or ID's from IP. Legit clients are supported too and can be authenticated via Valve(real IDs) or offline via emu(IP-IDs). Unknown client emulators are supported too and can be assigned ID's by IP.
You have advanced security policy which you can configure to allow or drop specific types of clients(For example disable SteamEmu clients or disable Legit Clients).
There is also an option to assign all Non-Steam clients one shared ID which you can set in config file too(requested by jamess).

eSTEAMATiON release archive includes paraemulators for Windows(For HL1 and Source/Source 2007 engines) and full native Linux emulators(For HL1 and Source/Source 2007).
For installation instructions read the installation manuals in release archive(3 manuals in English,Russian and German languages are available).

To prepare your engines for integration use VUP(version >= 2.0 Beta 4) with -esteamation-prep flag and if you want to kick Cracked Steam clients to secure new ID system add -esteamation-no-cracked-steam switch too.

So, you finally released it

kewl, finally it's there!
now we only need a client side emu that can generate Src2007 SteamIDs

Works great , If user changes hes Ip then hes steamid will be changed to or it will be the same what was beforce ip change?

dont know much about this stuff because i dont play or have a game-server, but looks nice anyway! thanks ;D

Depends on the client emu but..no, there are some implementations which keep your id over ip changes. But yeah, there is a possibility (big one) that your id might change after ip change...
And with steam.. you can always create a new account to change your id.

Cheaters, gtfo

EDIT: Going to try this now in my source 2007 garrysmod cardboard serverbox

wow, i must test it soon as possible... (
"To prepare your engines for integration use VUP" is for HL2 admins and

"Dont integrate the emulator now" if for us right? )

this could be a bomb...

Awesome work man!

But dutch isnt german

That thing about supporting unknown emulators and the ability to control what kind of clients can join just sounds so advanced and great

Great job on this, I'm sure it'll make things a lot easier for non-steam communities.

[Res]
Changed dutch to german. My fault

[All]
You can change your IP 200 times - your ID will not change(ask Chris about ban ive gave him during testing )
In 99% of cases even switching to another emulator will not change your ID

Cracked Steam are problematic one so ive added -esteamation-no-cracked-steam switch to VUP(ive wrote it in the post) so they will be kicked with a well known "This Steam account does not own this game" error. patching without this switch will allow them to join.

[jamess]
Unfortunately youve got it right For new engines this process clearly done by new VUP but for HL1 i dont have anything currently except my internal engine_i686.so...
Anyway ive tested even amd64 build and works just fine.
The Big pack will come in coming days and will include two folders WON and NOWON... Engines from first will let old clients(-nosteam) in and assign them VALVE_ID_LAN while NOWON engines will kick them with a well known "Invalid CD Key" error and will accept only Steam clients.
So just wait a little and if you cant stand on i can PM you engine_i686.so

omg nice vityan666 . Now if you cant make vac to ban cheaters in nosteam server then this wold be realy awsome :O(but I think its impossible )! but nice job vityan666 (Y)

-EDIT-

hm strange problem for me in my server, it kicks people and says this to reason "Steam connection lost"

[crp]


HL1 engine server?
You can not answer coz ive tested source against it... hold my non-steam client 5 hours on the server. This eeror occurs only on HL1 servers. Please read the first post again carefully... You can read jamess's post too(he knows to read good) ...


Impossible
VAC is useless anyway(Coz Valve is very good company and cares of its consumers more than to money ) Real Admin's ban is the only solution

That would be realy great...


I will wait for final stuff.. I envy to source users for whole VUP, especially -esteamation-no-cracked-steam is very cool and usefull option, but anyway, esteamation sounds promising (almost static IDs for public, and option to set static shared IDs for CW

So... its like revolution's THE EMULATOR , but now for linux too?

sory for stupid qustion (no XPwith VUP), what files i must patch(source engine)?

[warezz]


Actually not at all. RevEmu is primarily clientside emulator and its server's one only supports unique IDs of its own clients. Lack of proper linux support is weak point too. eSTEAMATiON has all the features needed for server administrators currently.

You'll need to patch your engine_*.so files
