master list display?

(Paul) #41

[QUOTE=CoD4Fun;403200]Read my post and understand that there is no need at all to run 2 masterservers at the same time. Read also that you do not need to modify your client or install custom binaries, which change the address to Pauls masterserver.

That you want to get your servers on both protocols is a seperate and different problem. You did not get your definitions straight, so you have no clear view on the current situation (judging by your confusing first post), which is a result of dismissed information policies.

If you run said custom binary, then no wonder you do not see your servers. They are not on the official list, instead you got silently redirected and are now wondering aka hurr durr wtf cant see my server on list …[/QUOTE]

You should also check your sources before replying, as you know the masterserver was dead for a few months and it didnt seem there were going to fix it, now why should I not come up with a temporarily fix? I still have to make sure it syncs with the real master now it’s back working, which is on the list. I indeed do not recommend (anymore) to use my alternative list since the original is back up. This means that proxy/binaries/whatever I do not support at this moment.

About your last point, in those ‘custom binaries’ sv_master0 up to sv_master5 are still working so I don’t see what you’re talking about, they made support for 6 servers for a reason, else they would have just made sv_master.

[QUOTE=CoD4Fun;403203]But to stay serious. Your problem about not seeing servers ^^ Do you run 2.6b server version and have a 2.55 client ? LOL

Please people. Fight for an educated world. That is all i demand. That is why i think custom installers are poison !! You do not have to be an computer expert to run ET. 2 masterservers are also poison for newbs.[/QUOTE]

With ET 3.00 your server can be in two lists anyway, you just have to configure it correctly.

And, second thing, did you know SD is also providing a link to a custom installer? Oh god, SD Is poisoning us!

Ah the big men Paul is answering. Coming finally down from his ‘copy paste olymp’. I know people like you very much. Morally just wrong in the head. Remove your masterserver and remove all your custom binaries and installers (Splash Damage point at them). Add an information on the top of your masterserver list fix thread that your pseudo fix is not needed anymore. Done and you are be left alone by me. Otherwise it gets uncomfortable again. Truth is still here, remember that!

To be honest: i do not think you can judge wrong from right.

If I would disable/remove them now that would leave players without a list again, would we want that? And besides, those ‘installers’ are not mine, they were made by a community member from here, they are Harlekin’s installers, not mine.

Just explain why, may it be in private, why do you have such a grudge against me? What did I do wrong?

Nice community? what etpro are you playing? And it is dying, over the years it’s taken several hits to player population. Who cares about what team you think is good from America? That’s besides the point, your opinion on the liveliness of the game/mod is completely useless here. This is a technical support request thread, not a debate.[/QUOTE]

I said a fact from non-pub player view point.

Yet I agree, it is not same as it was at the start of ET days.

[QUOTE=CoD4Fun;403203]I can already judge your intelligence by the way you use ‘care’ or ‘who cares’ in your sentences. Welcome to the new ‘care’ generation. Great that the only way for you to survive amongst retards is by becoming one for yourself. Great !!!

But fair enough. You say ‘And we have not made any clientside modifications (including hosts file)’. Well, the thing is: you are kept dumb by having installed one of these custom binaries, which silently change stuff for you. It is undermining your intelligence. So may i ask: which et.exe are you using and from where did you get it ? From here at Splash Damage ? LOLOLOL (Wake up people, i seem to be the only sane person on here).

But to stay serious. Your problem about not seeing servers ^^ Do you run 2.6b server version and have a 2.55 client ? LOL

It’s 8 in the morning, I didn’t come here to sign up for a spelling bee. It’s the internet, nobody cares. My ET.exe is the original 2.60B one, I actually just confirmed that before coming here to check for replies. I was wondering because I’ve kept this thing throughout several reformats… couldn’t remember where it came from. I think ET Ultimate Installer 1.6. Anyway, it’s the exact same file as the official release of et 2.60b.

I play on 2.60b but I have a 2.55 client installed for testing purposes.

Claiming that you are intelligent and educated doesn’t make it true… You are just spewing a bunch of bull **** and calling it facts without any actual proof of what you say.

I think the custom installer is a good unofficial option for people to install directly to 2.60b and install etkey. Some servers still run pb, and thus the installer resolves pb issues for clients. I would have liked an option to choose 2.55 or 2.60b, but hey I guess this is not Burger King and I can’t “have it my way”. But the existence of ET 300 relaxes me on this issue. Reason: it puts my servers on both lists. So even if my 2.55 players “upgrade”, they may find my server on the 2.60b list and I should not lose any traffic. Also, the facade option by equalone is a hassle, does not work from all home servers, and is buggy.
Regarding ET 300, I think Paul is on the right track. I think the facade and all the fixes are a great idea. However I would like to see all features controllable with cvars, I guess that is just my opinion.
However I will agree, lets only fix what the community unanimously considers “broke”. As far as I can tell, ET 300 does only that (that’s good). Once we get to the point where we are “limiting” the options of server admins, limiting which mods work with the engine, forcing players to install software they did not ask for, or giving too much power to one organization, then we have gone too far. Personally, I have money and resources on standby, ready to address that if it becomes a problem.

Oh Jesus I missed this today… You made “my night” then. Was quite some weeks we had not the “ET is dying” and all the “Server/Master list issues”.

Thanks for the laugh :smiley:

Good night.
