Unofficial "Empty Server List" Fix


(Mateos) #421

Not sure ETXreaL is the best example, I heard its dev is halted? OpenWolf can be stated instead :slight_smile:

Well you speak about SD, but they can ONLY ask ID to get it back (You see what is “it”), and they can’t harass them about it.

When I had a clansite I always had both ID and SD linked. Dunno why you won’t already :slight_smile:

Just some links that should NOT BE FORGOT :

@BigBear

Huh?

ps
WET? I kinda don’t like that ad campaign already. WolfET…sounds good and is much less phallic.


(Mateos) #424

OK, so again:

  • OMG ET is dying! I think 3 or over years is quite long for dying.
  • ID and SD made this game, so I think a little link isn’t too much effort.
  • Man, I know you and some love the game (So do I), but you can’t just sum up by “A reason why players are not playing WET is certainly because they certainly ignore that WET is existing.”: the game is old, old graphics, troubles to run on newer systems (Vista/7/New Linux-Mac versions), the anti-cheat has dropped, it suffers DDos stuff, it has 2.55 main installer used quite a lot, when latest version is 2.60b for Windows, it has not master server list by default… Be objective!
  • About WET, thought the same thing, but I don’t care x) ET is fine as well.
  • Waypoints… I were motivated yesterday to update some ones I’ve as WIP, mapping takes time as well, studies even more, sorry.

I forgot some things, but I think I said enough :slight_smile:

Hi! So glad to see someone still cares about ET.
I was wondering if anyone noticed that Paul’s modified ET.exe 2.60b is not compatible with the current version of TZAC, it says exactly that when you try to launch ET from TZAC.

Just an observation, no criticism, and I apologize if this issue has already been brought up here. I meant to check but I simply did not have the time to go through 22 pages of comments (!!!).

@BigBear
i want say only one thing to you! You’re so boring!!


(melonchollymel) #427

First may I say that if this works I will be very happy and would like to thank you paul for taking the time to actually do this…I am a dipstick when it comes to the computer—I do know how to turn it on etc, but am not techincal at ALL…I have downloaded the fix for the server list but I don’t know what to do now—could you be a bit more specific on that end??? I haven’t been able to play ET for almost 6 months or more, and I would soooooo like to be able to play!!!
Thanks so much if you could reply ASAP!!!


(Mateos) #428

Wussie, Rudy made a solution without a modified EXE, because a modified EXE is incompatible with ETPro or TZAC:

If you download my proxy service and install it, you can just start playing ET like normal again.


(cheesy) #430

Rudi, this is a great service! The problem is, out of all the 15,564 people who ET installed on their computer collecting dust, only a fraction will make it to see your fix. This is why I added your fix to my installer. In fact most of my time has gone to contingencies of making your fix integrate with my installer manager (done). Speaking of which…

id has already notified me that they do not and will not support bundles.
I am searching for links to include as backup for downloading WolfET.exe. Also, I can add any clan volunteers willing to host.
I have a request in with filefront.com, as I think they are the safest and most reliable, and I want them as one of primary.

I hope to have this installer “manager” ready by next week, maybe sooner. I will need community help testing.


(Rudi) #431

wolfet.exe is hosted at http://www.rudiv.se/et/wolfet.exe, if you want to use that as a mirror. You’re already using it for the proxy service and can always add alternatives, so it’s there if you want to use it.

EDIT: Likewise with ET_Patch_2_60.exe and ET.exe for 2.60b.


(Tankey) #432

Ok.
I just received a message back from Bethesda. The masterlist will not return.
“Hi Reno,
There is no new developments regarding ET Masterlist.
Best regards,
Justin I.”
It’s a short message, but it says enough. For me atleast.

I’d like to thank SD for lying to me, and several others. I had some hope left after the statements of badmen. But seemly it was too nice to believe it actually. I was just asking for a small amount of information. Just one sentence. And even that sentence was a lie. Thanks.

I used to be just behind SD and ID. But ye, times will change drastically nowadays x)


(Rudi) #433

sigh This is ridiculous, why don’t we just wait to hear something from official channels already.

If you email Apple about the iPad 4, what do you think they will say? Seriously, don’t understand why a break is not given, everyone understands that it’s frustrating and the lack of communication moreso but this really isn’t helping.


(Tankey) #434

Well, just list some facts. The masterlist has been down for 2months already…? 2 whole months. And how many updates about what is going on we received or actually seen? 1. Nothing more. I call that sad. If such thing happened @ CoD, I bet their servers will be up again 2hours later.
I’m not comparing CoD with ET, but 2 months is just too many. It takes way to long and still we received to other updates from THAT company called ID. It’s a fail mate, if you ask me.

If you wait on an official response, I assume you will be still around here in this thread 2 years later. They seems to be to lazy to post just a single message.

(thinks about the other times the masterlist has been down. We never received an official message.)


(Rudi) #435

I’m not disagreeing with you, it’s absolutely stupid, but until they come out and say “We’re not bringing it back”, we don’t have the right/ability to go around saying “The masterlist will not return”.


(Patriotqube) #436

Ofcourse we have the right

they on the other hand also have the right to say “Your Wrong” to me if they restart it.

but lets see again in another 2 months who was correct.


(TheSgtBilko) #437

Probably grasping for straws but:
“There is no new developments regarding ET Masterlist” sounds more like they have no news to share for the time being.

… wishful thinking

Added thanks :slight_smile:

It looks like you have a decent download speed, mind if I make you the primary if Gamefront.com does not agree? This would mean you would get all the traffic, if your site went down, it would move on to next mirror, and so on. Otherwise rudiv.se will be next in line.


(Rudi) #439

That’s not a problem with me, I’m implementing a lot more servers in the near future anyway, so high availability will always be achieved (obviously not just for my personal site).

go go rudy nd cheesy, fix it all up :wink:
