What does it do? Basically, makes your server invulnerable for all types of attacks. It's a must for every server to install it. Please, do, and nor DejaVu, nor [MiB]Dogboys, nor anyone else will be able to crash your server using known vulnerabilities.

You don't need to install this mod if you're not going to host a server, of course.

Installation is very simple:
  1. Close your server / Deus Ex if its running.
  2. Backup IpDrv.dll in your Deus Ex/System folder.
  3. Extract all the files from the archive's System/ folder to your Deus Ex/System folder and when you get a prompt whether to replace file or not, hit "Yes".

If something unforeseen happens, check server.log. The only known issue is that people get the following error in log (and the server crashes):
Warning: Failed to load 'Class DeusEx.ephthysWebDownload': Failed to find object 'Class DeusEx.ephthysWebDownload'
Warning: Failed to find object 'Class DeusEx.ephthysWebDownload'

It happens when you start it first time. Just relaunch it and everything will be okay!

It's already configured however i recommend you to read it's Documentation in /Help/ folder.

I recommend you also to use TRM's new query from here:
http://mtl.deusexgaming.com/viewtopic.php?p=675
(you have to be registered and logged in to download the file).

Currently Nepthys for Deus Ex is on version Alpha. Some features like WebDownload and new query were not fully converted to Deus Ex from Unreal I (it's originally Unreal I mod). Also, I know that there are some problems with "Accessed None" errors.

Please, report any strange events (including accessed nones) to this topic.

Thanks to Zora and Winged Unicorn for doing the great job and saving our community.

Update:

Zora wrote:Here's a new Nephthys release candidate. The Deus Ex support is now completed.

Note that you need to use Nephthys' NptServerQuery instead of other (original or custom) UdpServerQuery to get full protection, esp. against the \secure\ attack which I read in some other topic (http://www.dxalpha.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8045).

The installer does all automatically for you. However, if you run a custom server query before, please read the manual installation instructions in the Nephthys Documentation how to setup NptServerQuery.

Have fun and don't let you put down by some sad guys ...

Feedbacks are welcome :)

UPDATE:

Zora wrote:Hi all,

just a minor change, but a new version number.
Also, the installer should be more newbie-safe (since most Deus Ex users aren't that used to different engine versions).

There's nothing outstanding any more, so after some days of running in the wild without any feedback this version will become the official Nephthys V1.3.

Please send me any feedback. :)

Nephthys Mod Update - Postby Kaiden » 04 Jun 2008, 22:35


Sorry to spam you with topics;

An Update to Nephthys Mod has been created, topic here;

http://www.dxalpha.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8684

Zora wrote:Please download and install V1.4b10 client side. Of course, you also can install it at your server (and get some other security updates), but for the clients the most important update is the package checking. Connecting to servers running maliciously infected packages, like the one with the "aaaModmapModF", won't cause harm to your client any more.

Any feedback is important and welcome. :)

I suggest all players install this, and FGS servers + others update to this version as soon as possible.

There was a possibility that said people could upload a malicious file to your computer, (Which gave the person control of your computer I believe, even formatting it), when you joined their server. This update checks what packages you're getting off the server, and if they're malicious will block them I believe.

Not sure if it checks for that package, it checks for shellcode in packages.
The method that DejaVu currently uses.

Since Ive installed this mod my game crashes a lot. I also freeze mid game and cant move while I can see everyone else around me shooting etc.

I uninstalled it and now my game runs perfectly.

Not sure if this is the same update that Kaiden has posted.

A new Nephthys version protects your client from getting infected by malicious mods like the "aaaModmapModF". See Nephthys thread: http://www.dxalpha.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 718#234718.

Ive had problems of it freezing on CG servers, if I type. I had freezes on Cath Terra, but the problem there was joining. I never really used to gpf that much until about the time that RTK server started and I was gpf-ing on all servers. Medkits became dangerous.
