Why didn’t you mention to begin with you made actual (that seem to be working) modified execs?
If you hadn’t posted such a mess of stuff, I wouldn’t have assumed you just remade some more f’d up ones with some autoinstall thing somewhere. I will happily swallow my words and say to you, well done.

At the end and reading all your comments, pro and contra, I want say my 2 cent here.
First: BigBear want help the Enemy Territory Community with his work. Its equal if the Players are a Clan or Clanless - he do it for all who love this old but great Game this Days.
He dont want to attack anybody, but want help to have next to the gameplay a bit more security. Also to become back a great Serverlist like before. (thanks Paul,Rudi / http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php/31768-Unofficial-quot-Empty-Server-List-quot-Fix )
Its on us old ET Gamers to help the Newcomers in ET also to build a stable Community where all old WET Gamers share their knowledge to all or to find solutions for new Attacks or Problems.
Second: I am Headhunter since October 2003 and I be Graduate / Diploma in Computer Science & Programming. All these works with Mapping, or to find solutions for GamePlay performance and other Stuff we all have do in these Years was at the end a help for all Newcomers without a bit of Knowledge in Setting his parameters for a good GamePlay or “binds” or…or…or…or…
There was so much the “WET Community” (all Clans, Players) have done near the Dev. / Builder what should not be forgotten !
I love Server Admins or Players who want do their big or small piece of help of the big WET Cake what they can do, - and earn …what …a “Thank You” :rolleyes: not ever…
So i want hope you want respect BigBears work and his will to help “us” in his way and possibillities.
Thanks for listening
Headhunter

Am I missing something here? Constant talk of clan vs no clan… What does that have to do with anything!
I think the only “complaint” was why create new binaries if there are already fixed binaries. -That is all!

I kinda missed the whole etmaster server threads lately. So maybe what i propose is already made by someone. Please do not hate me for proposing the following. If i would have network programming skills, i would certainly do it.
So i have read through some protocol thingys lately, and i figured that it wouldn’t be too hard to create some kind of starter exe for et, somekind of “off et.exe server browser”, which can understand and interpret the masterserver protocol, as well as getstatus/getinfo requests. This starter exe should have configurable masterserver integrated, and its solely puprose would be to list the servers to maybe then start up real et.exe and join a server.
Just a thought and i would use it. And again: sorry if this app already exists somewhere.

Well, that’s exactly what my proxy server does, finds the next available master server (from a list) and simply allows the game to use it.

Ok, got this app. totally slipped with me. So basically this does analyze network requests, right ? And if it sees some getservers request to masterserver, it will route it to another masterserver. Hm… i don’t know. Isn’t constantly analyzing network traffic a bit overkill ? What i suggested instead is a simple external server browser. Where you do not need et.exe to view servers. You could issue masterserver requests to different masterservers (as it is configurable). I think this would be better.
Also: is this open source. Interesting app definetely.

If you want to do nothing, well that is your right but do not criticize others : prefer to shut-up.

Are you running an anti-virus? It is probably blocking the modification of the hosts file in the installation (which is required for reasons you’ll see in a moment when I explain how it works, you seem technical enough ;)).
My proxy doesn’t analyse packets at all, no. Basically it hosts a UDP server locally listening on port 27951 (the masterserver port)… At startup (and periodically) it checks which master server(s) are available and will route any incoming requests straight to that server, then receive the response and proxy them back on to ET.exe. There’s no analysis going on at all, it’s literally a simple proxy, the only work it does is to switch which server it forwards the requests on to.
[QUOTE=BigBear;395102]PAUL have done his own patch & I have done Mine
(somewhere disappointed I thought it was managing the two addresses including the one from ID)
(Mine work on old computers too no heavy .net needed)
I have done it… it is not a PAUL, RUDI, JACK, or Sandra patch… it is one I have done.
I have understood the real WET Spirit: Next time it will be something to do I will keep it for my Players.
Now we know why WET is Dying.[/QUOTE]
Let me get something clear which you seem to be failing to understand regarding my initial reply to this thread and saying that this is “pointless” as such.
Paul’s fix is the same as yours. It does not require .NET framework to run as it is simply a hex edited version of the binary (like yours!!) to change the master server’s name.
My patch does not modify ET.exe and does require .NET because it is a Windows Service, which is a lot easier to create with .NET than natively. And just for the record, .NET is not at all heavy, the service will work with (and is coded to require) the Client Profile, which is 31MB in size, and if you’re talking heavy in resources, well, it’s not.
The point of me (and others!!!) saying that this is somewhat pointless is because it offers nothing new. It is exactly the same(!!) as Paul’s modified binaries available at etmaster.net. Exactly the same. Paul’s alternative binaries offer what yours do, modified versions of the binaries to forcefully point the master server to a different location. My service provides a fallback-ready/redundant solution to the problem so that if etmaster.net goes down, it will automatically switch back to the other server that is available. The hosts file trick acheives the same as the modified binaries, but could be preferred by some users.

Have you not something more important to do ? Have not a real life ?
My patch work too : where is the problem ? no problem ok. thank you.
Somewhere disappointed I thought it was managing the two addresses including the one from ID
But in fact not… we have done the same kind of patch : Best Idea : it mean we are good too 
It mean too if server change Again… we will be forced to come back to normal versions…
Enjoy
Here I have done an autoinstaller … (On your Request)
http://www.eurobunkerarena.com/downloads/WETAutoNormalVersions.zip
But PAUL nice Server will perhaps rest the Only one ? Not sure ID will come back… it cost money.
I have no friends, no problem I have enough Cool players on my servers that are all more fair.
And for those that want to know the first ID game I have played :
it was Wolfenstein 3D in 1992 !

No I said to you, dont take offence, take a gate.
I already explained the (albeit bad) joke: offence sounds like “a fence” with a fence you get a gate. It’s a bad joke, not implying you should go anywhere or any kind of insult, I mean come on this is getting silly, what part of the joke do you not f***** understand?
[QUOTE=BigBear;395103]Please recall me where did you play and the name of your Clan ?
[/QUOTE]
I was an admit for SF for a few years before it went down the drain, played for fun, had 2 servers, just random fun play, nothing more.
Now I run [#!] with just myself and 2 others who play for fun in a few games, nothing more nothing less, Not that this matters at all, you seem to have invented a new rule of someone’s post count and clan status being a measure of their intelligence, carry on.

All I have is a repackaged et for linux with help and some scripts and things, it’s helped a few people, it’s better then nothing at all right?
I am aware it’s nothing special or difficult before you relate its skill/difficulty to my post count.

I speak of those kind :
With etms_proxy_installer
http://etmaster.net/files/etms_proxy_installer.msi
In fact Nice 5 Star Server
But Paul patch was Manual. Mine automatic that is all
Sorry it is for me
Because I use not .NET and first link is linked to that …
This option is recommended! >> Cannot test
http://etmaster.net/files/etms_proxy_installer.msi
But as i have already Said : Thank you to the nice initiatives & Thank to all like I already do on my servers (Watch Map Vote Menu) : exist since always.
Thank you to all We walk almost on the same way but not with the same ideas
