[QUOTE=schnoog;381344]I made a little pk3 which informs new player about the (temporary) PB Key issue:
It`s not very nice, but IMO useful][/QUOTE]

Thank you :wink:

ETGold is compiled for windows servers only.
and since the guy lost the source code, i guess thereā€™s no hope running it on linux servers.

We are doing few enhancement in silEnT mod in order to support non etkey players. Itā€™s work under progress but if all goes well, we will release it. Mod will have itā€™s own key and admin protection.

No GUID!:smiley:

Go over to society!
Like OpenIDā€¦

You cannot use OpenID.

There isnā€™t OpenID library for C/C++ systems, and OpenID is used only for authentication and provided by several large websites.
If you are referring on client authentication method what Google and Yahoo are using, better check OAuth open protocol.

does anyone know if the master servers are going down?
I think someone should contact id and hear if this is happenningā€¦
and if this is happeningā€¦ I will ban all games made by the companys who created ETā€¦

To clarify a little. GUIDs are not a problem. Any string that is unique is good enough for a GUID. The problem is that there are no methods to prevent the spoofing as long as the GUID depends of the client. Therefore, we are going to separate the admin levels from the GUIDs. The ā€œadmin level protectionā€ will use itā€™s own authentication protocol to ensure that the player that has the GUID of an admin, is the one who got it in the first place. That way by GUID spoofing you canā€™t gain admin levels.

We will leave the cl_guid as is. This will allow combining the PB GUIDs and the silEnT GUIDs in the same database. Also, if there happens to come a new community ET version or anything that would take over the cl_guid value, the mod will support those GUIDs as well. However, it is important that we can give an identifier to every player so that every player can store XP on XP save servers and admins donā€™t have to keep answering the questions about ā€œwhy doesnā€™t my XP saveā€ or instructing how to manually install PB files and etkey file.

Harlekin wrote an installer for ET on Windows platforms. It installs ET, the most recent PB, also the request and saving of the etkey from etkey.org is done during setup.
You can download this tool, and some other he wrote at wolffiles: http://wolffiles.de/index.php?news-140

Simple question to all etkey provider/coder.
As etkey content use the day, did u use the local machine time?
Ie on a windows machine, if u change the date, for example, put it into the past , day in the generate file wil be corrupted too, and yr etkey can spoof the etkey of an other clientā€¦
As pb guid generator runs on their server, on of the condition to achieve the job, is that server date was never corruptedā€¦( main rules is never trust the client in an identification system i think ).

ETKEY.org uses GMT from a NTP server, not directly the local server time.

http://cod22.evenbalance.com/index.php here the list is still complete xD

(schnoog) #92

unfortunality the page is incomplete. All the ā€œpain in the assā€ updates in 2010 are ā€œmissingā€

(ailmanki) #93

I made a backup for myself, when EB dropped ET support. (The link was gone on the mainpage, but the content was available back then.)


While zipping up, I found out the downloads are still active (now) ā€¦ and so I downloaded them aswell and add it to the zip.
Feel free to mirror.

Pedro-NF, if possible I would like to include this in a multi utility program I am making. It basically gives options to clean menus, install menus, install the etkeyā€¦etc.

I sent you a PM on it but I would like permission from you to include your batch script in mine. I made it so that the etkey from your script gets installed directly in the players etmain folder, regardless of where it is installed. If possible, can you minus the ā€œpress Gā€
part and maybe replace with a delay to read your disclaimer instead? I can send you the lines to edit. This makes your script coorperate with mine better and send the etkey to the directories faster. If not it is ok, I will use it as is.

Please let me know. Thanks!

[QUOTE=Pedro-NF;380818]The [>NF<] ETKEY Generator v1.00 may be downloaded from the [>NF<] Serverā€™s site at:

Feel free to offer the program on your sites and to distribute it at will, but do not link directly to the file on my serverā€™s site because the path and the file name will certainly change in the future.[/QUOTE]

Just to let you know, weā€™re looking into a few possible solutions to address the lack of unique guids in Wolf. Itā€™s still early days at the moment, but as soon as we have something workable, weā€™ll alert the internet.

(Indloon) #96

Looking for this soon!

Well at now,our hope is at etkey.org ^^

Well, as I have no knowledge about how to help, Iā€™ll just say thanks for all the input and the work you all made to keep the game alive and playable through the anticheat PB.

Thanks!
