Unofficial "Empty Server List" Fix


(Slut) #281

WOW. You programmed it all by yourself paul. You are amazing! Just as your trackbase (also your own) and SDU (wow) .
…not to mention your “allways +1000 visitors” forum.
I am sure your attention(epileptic) hunger is statisfied.

paul u suck and i don’t care about you cause you are a so-called attention whore. I just want the etmaster back from id. not from a wanna be hobo.


(Mateos) #282

I’m not sure Fan Boy wanting only official could speak like this. Cool story bro though.


(Slut) #283

I just tell how i think about the situation and Paul’ss addiction to attention.
And it is not my “story”. I ain’t your bro.


(Mateos) #284

He just said how, and he made with others a “temporary fix” for us, what a player could want more… Just ID getting back the official.

Why so hate for the person who is trying to help? Paul, Rudi and others are just trying to keep master list alive till official master server list is working again.

[QUOTE=Mateos;393049]SD could steal ze objective from ID and secure it at their base, then an engineer fix it.

Understand SD doesn’t have/own the Master Server, and they can only ask ID to do it; Seems ID tries so, but with a such low-speed progress… Or it’s a trainee doing it, or they look at it when they have time. That feeling is coming more and more to my mind >.>

The fact of MS down could be:

  • Less players, OK.
  • Less servers. Clan running over9000 servers can be restricted to one, so every usual player who kept playing after MS down are on one server and not plenty, so less low-populated servers IMO.
  • The servers which usually have people see more people popping up, since these ones browse servers on trackers.

So, IMO, the rate between Number of servers/Number of players is better than before, even if there’s a loss on both… If someone follow and understand me ^^’[/QUOTE]

perfectly. it isnt all bad. And you might actually get more quality players.

It wasn’t to show that “I’m amazing” it was to see it’s not that hard to get it done since I’m a noob anyway. I didn’t made it for myself, I did it for ET. So you are suggesting I should just have done nothing and wait 2 months while in the mean time no solutions are available?

We should be on the same side, I’m against community alternatives as well, ID should bring it back or carry it over to SD. That’s what I’m saying. Alternatives are not a fix in any way, as the official is linked everywhere.

Thank god that I can put attentionwhores like slut on my ignorelist : http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=ignore&u=36475

I am glad that paul atleast does something for the game.

While I am not a big fan of the trackbase, F|A, sdu, and god knows what else monopoly…
I have to give credit to the maker of this master list solution. Regardless of what advantages this may offer the maker, they took the initiative to make something. And since that something is all we got, credit should be given where credit is due.
Originally I was going to throw in the towel with ET…but my clan convinced me otherwise. I plan on getting this list posted on my website, I also plan to start a petition to get id to allow this new list installer to be bundled with the game, and a few other things.

I don’t like any of this…but let’s just get onboard with what resources we have.


(XaNaX) #293

whats the latest updaye fix for the master list? is it still the first one? other people seem to have more servers in there list only about 100 maybe less are showing up in my list and all filters are off

sadly…but, must agree with you.


(Patriotqube) #295

I think its time to realize that the masterserver as we knows it wont come back, there is no way a simple mysql setup could have taken that long to be fixed

Im 1 of those guys that believes that this will have an impact on our game, and im pretty sure that it will mean that we will miss the new players into the game

im also of the opinion that it wont kill the game, as there are many experienced ppl that knows what todo, many clans are aware of the problems and are doing what they can to help out new ppl

What im afraid will kill the game is the fact that many servers will only be populated with own clan ppl now, and unless you have a very big clan or have 1 of the very few servers with lots of regulars then youll start experiencing that only your clan ppl are there, and im afraid that will take the joy out of the game for many.

Our clan has atm 2 weeknights where we gather and plays togehter on a server, yesterday we had 15 clan ppl gathered and on the whole evening only 2 pubplayer connected. :frowning:

Our sniper server which actually had a few on every day before the master list crashed, hasnt seen a player in days.


(Rudi) #296

What has MySQL got to do with anything? Also how do you know exactly about the infrastructure of ID?

Just wondering.


(Ruben0s) #297

Yeah, this is true. On a normal day we would see between 5/10 new players on our server each day. Luckily my own server gets only affected by it for a tiny bit. We have 200 regular players with most of them playing this game for over 3 years and they didn’t even notice that the masterserverlist went down.

But I still got hope that the masterserverlist will come back :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=Rudi;393193]What has MySQL got to do with anything? Also how do you know exactly about the infrastructure of ID?

i assumed that the masterlist was working on a mysql db, but if it isnt well thats my bad, then its working on another db of some sort who cares tbh

I dont know rats ass about ID infrastructure or other fancy stuff about them; what i do know is that the list has been gone for 1 month thats pretty long time for fixing a simple thing like this.

just answering


(Rudi) #299

But that’s my point in a nutshell, how do you know it’s simple? How do you know that it’s a single server this is being hosted on?

Granted it probably shouldn’t take this long, but I don’t see why everyone is getting so irate about this. There’s nothing we can do about it but wait for updates from them, and in the meantime provide alternative “solutions” (that yes, depending on your view, may not be a solution - but we’re trying!).

Speculating over the permanent “death” of the game and the master server itself is just daft.

Well if the fix isnt simple then a redirect to lets say Pauls db would be simple and could be done in what? 2 minutes and they could have let that run until they fixed the apparently very complicated thing

granted im getting a bit pissed, but not by ID, more about all those mr knowitalls i see around here. fact is, you dont know more than i do, another fact list has been down a month, another fact, ID refuses to talk to anyone about this, a small statement saying we are aware and we are looking into it, is what ive seen has come from them.

temp solutions is as said only a temp solution, all those ppl that would find this place or another place where you can see this temp fix, isnt anyone of those that needs it, they know howto connect and they probatly have the ips in hteir head or use SL, TB or HLSW anyway.

So the temp fix isnt a solution at all, its not working for the new people just firing this game up.

I cant help speculate on how the game will be doing now, sitting on my big fat ass and saying never fear Rudi is here, just isnt me mate.

Ive started playing this game in 2003 and have run servers ever since. so ofc im worried, for every day this continues we loose ppl to newer games that actually works.

Im working as a consultant construction engineer and I can calculate and draw and 5 storage office building in the amount of time they have used to say, we are aware.

im 49 years old and im getting to old for this cr*p

sorry rant over
