Playing with same ip is blocked because players used it for cheating. In future it will be possible for members but I have not tested the code enough for publishing. I will do it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvience.

@squirtle1393, it was a change Chucky announced Tuesday, 7 August 2018, 20:54 - I understand the reasons why, but looked too harsh to me, I made this appointment (http://www.n-ice.org/openttd/forum/index.php?topic=726.msg3880#msg3880).

There's many other ways to check if ingame actions are fair or not and, only my opinion: Don't allow clones seems a bit too radical, as already stated!
@squirtle1393, you're not the only one, but you were the first posting about it!

I wonder how this check is possible if players join from same connection as "Player" and "Player #1" - If one logs in, are clones allowed? A pre-login before entering the game?!

Whatever solution Chucky's working on, I wish good luck on his endeavours :)
But as it is now, it's "nazi'est" :P

Currently testing the changed plugin at x-servers. You have to verify with different game accounts for playing with same ip-address.


Update: The changed plugin has been installed to the servers.
