What’s going on ?!

I AGREE :

1) To all nice initiatives ; especially when they are devoid of personal interests : it mean when they are only in the interest of the Whole WET Community.

2) I try to help WET Community on my Free Time & Money and I wait nothing in return (just the complains and to be beaten with sticks & a not really discreet point of jealousy). I agree like always it is a part of the life : do not search so far why WET is on a Bad Way & why World is for a big part on the same way… I suggest to many to meditate about that.

3) I am not perfect because it is a volunteer Work (nobody is perfect… including those that read that). & I have some other things to do in Real Life, including if I work on 2 other things at the same moment.

4) Remarks are interesting when they are constructive, and as possible they can be done in private too.

5) I agree to pay for some interesting Services ; but it was certainly not the case of all Masterfloor.

6) I suspect that some are perhaps trying to create some new services that we will perhaps require to be paid :

  • On a way if some agree to pay if it could help WET community to stay alive ; in that case it could be a good thing.

  • But… I warn also against the harmful effects :
    On another way, like already said, not sure all could be able to pay and it risk to Divide more the Community that is already in poor condition : because everyone try to “pull the rug at his feet”.

–> Will that system be fair ? : Will that system be a Fixed price ? Or will that system be something paid depending of the player affluence of the Month ?
==> Risks are multiples : Servers risk to Leave the community to something more Private (80% of players are only watching their stats online when playing and no more) , Diverting of the system, deepening of differences and breaks between big and smaller servers, multiple alternative Master Server Networks.

I DISAGREE :

7) UN-Fair attacks in any places, that bring nothing positive and that make appear WET Community as something Crazy : “hey WET is an old game, with a lot of disturbers and cheaters: and now Ambiance really S*ck!!”… & “seems 80% think only about their own parochial interest”. And sure when some persons are posting with many different counts to attack someone that is just trying to help the WET Community !

8) ‘Discreet’ “Friends, Clan, Sectarian” Association that are not really Serving the interests of the WET Community ; but that probably Serve More their Own Interests (that are in fact hidden). It is easy to try to appear Good & Necessary when some Try to Lock the WET community : but for sure it is more difficult to do it really in the real interest of the whole community.

9) Again, I cannot agree when some try prevent others to Bring help to the WET community because anybody is free to help as he want : after the Masterfloors & the players are Free to decide because it is Opened Source !

Conclusion :

I] I agree some are doing something in the interest of the Whole community at the condition they do not remove our freedom to decide !

II] On the other side I have already said in some other posts that it do not exist any “Master Council of WET Masterfloors” : we can understand that some want to create something, but only at those conditions :

  • They should expose their project openly to All Masterfloors and to All Players.
  • System should be Democratic.
  • Everyone should be free to expose his opinions while they are constructive and they respect the others persons.
  • If they try to regulate any kind of UN-Fair abuse as for example : Number of Players Faking, Cheating, Disturbing.

III] Now if some have received some orders from the Game Makers they should provide the information to the Whole WET Community… because I think that all have the Right to know : What’s going on ? Perhaps that some players try to protect the interest of the Whole Community… but in that Case, they should speak Openly ! If they do not expose all of that openly… can-it be some potentially Hidden & Bad Intentions ?

Finally : Just by having wanted to help… Unknowingly, I gave a kick in the anthill, it explain why I have got some strong attacks. Stronger the attacks are… more we need to ask us some important questions.

Now because I am FAIR & to Shortcut any More ridiculous Posting…
And more important to Thank PAUL & to let Players Decide I have created an
Auto-install of PAUL patchs :
PAUL Master Server AutoInstaller

For other PAUL Solutions (in all the cases have a look on his Server) :

Thank you to the http://et.trackbase.net/ supporters and for their constructive participation…

Why are you doing this? I think it’s been made fairly clear at etmaster.net itself and the main forum on here that modifying the client executable itself is not the solution.

This is the whole point of me developing, and others subsequently recommending, the host service which will automatically switch based on availability. As much as we would love for etmaster to always stay around, who knows if that is going to be the case… Something that can automatically switch to a new redundant service is much better than forcing everyone to redownload yet another “fixed” executable.

EDIT: Further to this, the server does not need modifying, as it’s a configuration variable.

Hi!

Please change the Master Server List to display any 2.55 & any 2.6X servers in any Client versions : it was ridiculous to see 2.55 in 2.55 only, 2.55+ (was both 2.55 an 2.6X) in 2.55 only, and '2.6X4 in 2.6X only : the actual situation was not logical because 2.55+ are by the same time 2.55 & 2.6X !

[QUOTE=BigBear;394996]2) If all come Back to Normal… Reverse to normal version will be provided :slight_smile:
We know actual Master seems to be a temporary solution (?). For the moment anyone have the choice.
Those patchs are a reliable and sure solution that is not “an external software that crash”… :o[/QUOTE]
There is no room/reason for my service to crash as it is simply proxying data and doing no real “work” apart from deciding which server it should be routed to.

The patch is not reliable if we get to the point of having more than 1 master server running at the same time. If you are permanently pointing to etmaster.net, and it goes down, but ID software is available - that player will miss out unless he gets a different executable. This player can also not play mods that require a standard game version.

Using my service, however, it will detect which server(s) are available and route accordingly, also the player is free to play on any mod.

EDIT: All that said, alternative executables are already provided on etmaster.net.

Me too can use big letters!

Please… You know the Edit button, stop spamming links of everywhere, there’s already a stickied topic thanks for Paul, SD and Rudi, with everything needed… Maybe first post should be edited though to sum up things :slight_smile:

What is the reason to use master0.etmaster.net instead of masterser0.etmaster.net?

[QUOTE=BigBear;394999]
My versions are just a Patch based on the Normal Version : The only difference is the Master Server… all the rest is completely identical to your Normal Versions !
(Proof MD5 are completely different : me it is a patch… and http://etmaster.net versions are recompiled versions !)
Recompiled can be good… or can too let appear some possible unknow new problems… nobody can say… up to the point we discover them…[/QUOTE]
WTF? Your proof is not proof. Really. You changed binary anyway. Your file MUST have different checksum because now binary contains “master0.etmaster.net” instead of defaults one. So, your have different checksum now, and compiled version have another-another checksum. And oh. Compiled version doesn’t have PunkBuster because it was removed in GPL release.

Proof:
Original et.x86:
e612c922bec7d8f4d7a8dfbbea3dade3
Your patched version:
3a5e68f02bb4be818d74cb82a905b4a0

The same as using badass.etmaster.net :stuck_out_tongue:
*.etmaster.net points at 91.220.53.73 so you can use whatever you want and it’ll work. And oh… master0.etmaster.net is 3 chars shorter than etmasterser0.etmaster.net :stuck_out_tongue:

BigBear, can your write your posts with a little less mess and random formatting? It’s a pain in the butt to try read a wall of your stuff.

I can barely make out what you’ve done but either way, you changed it, these executables are as useless as the other ones with the list changed and aren’t recommended list rememdy, I’m afraid you wasted your time, no hero/saviour of ET medal for you I’m afraid :smiley:

(Mateos) #13

Sounds a bit rude ^^’

(rorgoroth) #14

Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude but reading down the page there is so much random chunks of bold, underlined and blah it took me about 5 minutes to gather the energy to read it all and still dont get why anyone should use it at all, or over the other modified execs :S

I just dont get why if binaries modified are kinda useless, why anyone would go out their way to make more… it doesn’t really make sense.
Please, BigBear don’t take offence. Take a gate :tongue:

(rorgoroth) #16

I know what you mean, but your first post just links to updated .exe and .x86 (last time I d/l earlier and still reads the same) So they still have to do that themselves correct? Why do that when other & easier fixes are available on etmaster and in these forums that wont stop people being able to access many servers?
Or do you mean replace as in “fix” to make a new exec?

Also, why are you insulting(?) me because of my post count?

They work… usefull… do they work with etpro and tzac? Just answer me that and I shall keep myself and my low post count away from your thread before you pop a blood vessel or something :rolleyes:

(gaoesa) #17

@BigBear

You didn’t answer my question. Why do you use master0.etmaster.net instead of masterser0.etmaster.net which is used in Paul’s binary edits. Also, why do you make claims Paul’s binary edit is recompiled while the only difference between your edits is the one I asked you why you did it. Wouldn’t it be more usefull for the community if you would link to the original edits?

BigBear, it seems to connect but keeps getting stuck on some servers :o
Have you try connect fp demolition when it’s not full?

Edit:
Okay sorry for requesting your help ^^ you seem to have blown.
The gate thing was a joke, offence = a fence ==> gate, fence, yes? no? Doesn’t matter.
