W:ET 2.55&2.60b fake slots in server list?

(elfradet) #1

[B]Hello, lately I’ve been visiting some servers and I’ve noticed that
In the server list, the server will appear full (eg: 60/64)
but when I connect to it, there will be only 13-15 people there,

So I am guessing there is a program to fake slots,
to make server appear as full and get more people into it.

And as I am leader of a Enemy Territory clan,
I am searching for that file. To get my servers fuller with it…

I guess old ET veteran easy know what file or program to use…

Please, let me know.

Thanks in Advance[/B]

People who put in fake player numbers on the serverlist to lure and trap in new players are nothing but cancerous pieces of ****. Do you/your clan really aspire to be a cancerous piece of **** too?

If you advertise and put real effort in and your “clan” and/or its server isn’t complete garbage you will get a playerbase, scamming and lying to fill your server makes you look like a joke.

Would be good to blacklist them, does Legacy include a kind of check for these tricks?

RedSectors is not a fake tool. it just reads from a server and present that.

This just proves that if one use a fake everyone else will (so did we). But im not sharing my app for fake server and I hope to never use it again.

Don’t forget to put 50 bots and remove quit/reconnect from in-game menu in real server.

No worries Tjimboo! There is no possible way to fuk up the list some more. But you are right, keep it somewhere cause it might come in handy some day…

Just poor.

Btw, is there a way to block /quit, /disconnect and ALT+F4, ATL+Tab and all these minimizers? :smiley:
