Some others it disables like when the server is closed the msg will not appear. When a client is slapped that message will not appear. When a client is put to sleep it wont show that message either.

Installation:
Put it in your base. After testing it appears you cannot run this mod with another mod. It is lame, I know, but I guess for those of you who do not have any mods in your server this will be fine. It does not take the server off the list when you press Game Version: All/JK2... when it is on Jedi Knight II it'll still appear on the list.
*~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~*
Commands:
-jd_CloseServer = Closes and opens the server whenever you turn it on. (0 = off, 1 = on) Default for command is "0" which is off so players can enter.
-jd_Messages = Disables or enables the messages that automatically print when triggered, like when client enter games, when admin slaps or sleeps another client. So they will no longer show on your screen if it is on off (0). (0 = off, 1 = on)
-Slap = /rcon slap #clientNumber# and the client will be slapped up. Can only be used in FFA game type. (So people wouldn't cheat if it's in duel game type... or if it was in CTF and they had flag it wouldn't ruin it.)
-Sleep = /rcon sleep #clientNumber# and the client will be put to sleep and will not be able to move. Can only be used in FFA game type. (So people wouldn't cheat if it's in duel game type... or if it was in CTF and they had flag it wouldn't ruin it.)
-CSay = /rcon csay <msg> and the message you type will appear in the middle of all client's screens.
-Sit = lets client sit down with their legs crossed.
-Help = displays helpful info, including mod & contact information and lists the Fix's commands.
*~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~*
Extras:
-Logs that show IP & info when a client connects, whether they are a fake player or a client with illegal characters.
-Fixed /rcon <msg> & /rcon say <msg> next line bug. Also made it with a few colors. It appears as ^5[^7Server^5]^7:

Descriptions of how the exploits work in JK2 1.04:
--Model, Saber & Name Flood - the reason this lags you, lags you out, slows you down or doesn't harm you at all is quite simple. It lags you because the overflow you are loading onto your client, in front of some one is more vulnerable because you have to visually see the changes. If you have higher ping you are more vulnerable because it overflows the amount you have and since you have low connection to the server it's more dangerous. The reason(s) it doesn't harm you is because you have very low ping (around 50 ping) or your rate is too low. Change your rate by /rate 75000 that'll stop it if your ping is <100. If your ping is 150+ you're quite screwed. :)
--Force Crash - OK, the reason this works is also simple and sort of logical. If you change your force powers into a number that is not in the calculations of what is set to a proper amount of force (forcepowers 7-2-3333333333333333) it sort of glitches itself since it is not the correct number in the calculations of the force powers. Thus meaning since it is not in the correct calculations, it errors and messes up and causes the server to crash.
--MSGBoom Exploit - MSGBoom in JK2 1.04 is similar to a flood. It sends a large message to the server overflowing it and acting as a flood to client(s) possibly lagging you out. Usually when you are flooded or msgboom'd you will either get "Connection Interrupted" message or be sent to your main menu.
--Illegal Characters Crash(IN THEORY) - I'm not really sure 100% why this works either but I have a theory. The reason I said "illegal characters crash" is because JK2 doesn't support the ASCII characters. In the source code there�s this little line right here (example): trap_SendServerCommand( -1, va("print"anything can go here but if it has illegal characters in it like º¿§ï¡â it'll create the bug"));. Some times just having that in your name and talking will make you bug but not crash from my tests. That is how I fixed the crash using a hex editor in JK2 1.02. If that message isn't there and there is no "SendServerCommand of their name" the server can't be sent a message from that part which prevents it. Thus meaning that it 'implodes' itself by having it being sent the illegal characters ending up in a crash like force crash.
--Fake Players - Fills up server so that no one can join, it is more of an annoyance than a problem. In rare cases, it can cause the server to crash.
*~~~~~*
The fixes in this mod that prevent those bugs above in JK2 1.04.
--Model, Saber & Name Flood - I tried making this blend in so it wouldn't be too noticeable unless you actually tried to flood. It prevents UserInfoChanges from changing within .50 of a second. That's "wait 50;" is the max you can go in a UserInfoChange (model, saber, name, force). I used to have it as you have to wait three seconds in between changes but that was just too annoying, so I put it as .50 so it's nearly normal and less annoying.
--Force Crash - This fix is a work-around using Gamall's fix for it. The fix does not allow any force string that is not within the field of "#-#-################" the first # is what g_maxforcerank is on, 7 is Jedi Master. The second one can only be two numbers, either 1 or 2. One stands for light side of the force and two stands for dark side of the force. The last 16 numbers stand for whatever you chose. So the string should look like 7-1-332003023030303213.
--MSGBoom Exploit - It will not flood out anyone nor crash the server with this mod. It basically drops any large msg coming to the server and doesn't allow it to be shared. There four Anti MSGBoom in this fix. :D
--Illegal Characters Crash - parses userinfo so that if they have illegal characters, they appear as a period.
--Fake Players - Denies fake players connection by checking userinfo if it is correct, if it isn't they will be denied access into entering the server.

Comments & Notes:
-This should result in your JK2 1.04 server being uncrashable. I say that because these are the only known crashes. So if there is any new crashes there will be another version fixing it from this.
-Some of the most popular mods aren't fully protected:
--DS-Online v1.32 is vulnerable to name crash/glitch.
--DC Mod v1.2 is vulnerable to flood.
--Jedi Academy Mod 1.6 is vulnerable to flood, name crash, force crash and fake players.(That was a horrible mistake not to patch against any of those for JAMod.)
---DS-Online v2 has fixed all these bugs that this mod has fixed. But it appears it is still in the Beta testing.
---Clan Mod v2.04 has the main fixes that this mod has. The same ones though because I put them in the Clan Mod.
-This is still a basejk2 fix. I added the extras so that people would have more fun. If I wanted this to be a bigger mod, trust me it would. :)
-Version 4 is the best one yet, compared to 1, 2 and 3... they suck. :)
-Above all, everyone have fun playing JK2 on any version that you play on.
