Thanks gaoesa, that explains a lot!  I will speak to hellreturn and have him look into it if he's not already.

Edit:

Looking through my files, I notice the server is placing "zz_silent90-0.6d.pk3" and "my_cgame_mp_x86.dll" in addition to the expected "silent-0.9.0.pk3" and cgame_mp_x86.dll

Anyone else getting this?

Hi guys,

@ Zelly - tried that, even did a clean install, even did clean install to different drive, no change.

@ BECK - Nothing custom, just the normal 2.6b install of ET, and silent being downloaded on the fly from any of silent servers - AFAIK we don't have any custom versions, unless its perhaps beta releases seeing as our founder (hellreturn) is part of the silent project.

One thing I can confirm is I get loads of errors for missing sounds in my console while playing, even though I hear them anyway (such as objective taken, objective secured etc) and all pk3's etc have been sourced from the same server I'm playing.  Could've always been that way for all I know but i'm noticing it now when I never did before.

This started since the latest version AFAIK. 

Definitely silent related because I don't have the problem with other mods.

OS - Win10 (up to date)

GFX - Nvidia GeForce GT 525M (up to date & running cool)

A friend of mine has the same issue, and has recently been banned by AC due to it (proven false-negative).

Crash log is below.

Yeah I believe it's IPbased.. But back in the day favourites used to delete themselves so I forgot all about that function

It's a bit late for that, but it would definitely be the best option for future.. Encourage people to use /connect yourdomain.com (or servername.yourdomain.com if you run multiple servers) and then you can change the IP whenever you want and as long as the (sub)domain points to the new IP, they'll go to the new IP

If you own both IPs (and will continue to own them), you could just redirect the IP itsself outside of ET?

If not, then your solution sounds pretty good.. I wouldn't use redirect though because then people who may /connect manually via console will rely on it then once it's gone, wont find your server.. (Does anyone still use the serverlist?)

From the wiki:

Q: How do I make forcecvar or sv_cvar work?

A: silEnT server is able to force client cvars to certain values or ranges by using forcecvar and sv_cvar commands. sv_cvarempty will clear all the sv_cvar commands the server has loaded.

To use the possibility, the g_mapConfigs must be set. All forcecvar and sv_cvar commands that are placed in the default.cfg, will be executed on every map start. Those settings can be overloaded by using a map specific cfg name [mapname].cfg. More help is available at silEnT forums.

@Micha! - thanks for your help The LUA was actually to catch the server executed command via shrubbot (so user types !myguid, shrubbot catches it and execs the function defined in the LUA script - the script itsself was not supposed to catch "!myguid" as shrubbot will do that for you and exec the 'getmyguid' function

However, I've taken on board the other points you mentioned, and should be able to successfully finish the mod

Thank you!

Thank you gaoesa and loudness!

Although I like the simplicity of the PM idea, it's a bit sloppy for my taste (i'm just quite particular I guess), but I appreciate it's functionality..

If anyone has a test server they could test the LUA on that would be handy (Moving the positive return into the scope of the IF clause as pointed out by loudness).. If not it will have to wait until I have time to do my first server setup

I know that typing [g] shows your silEnT GUID and typing it into fireteam chat whilst not in a fireteam will work to do it privately, but for absolute security, I wanted to make a custom command of !myguid so I made this LUA script.. Problem is I have never ever touched anything LUA or ET related, so I have no idea if this will even work and I have no means of testing it.. So I wonder if someone can tell me if I've done anything wrong, and/or if it will actually work?

description = "silEnT GUID Command"
version = "1.0"   


function et_InitGame(levelTime,randomSeed,restart)
    local modname = string.format("%s", description)
    et.G_Print(string.format("%s loaded\n", modname))
    et.RegisterModname(modname)
end



function et_ConsoleCommand(command)
    if et.trap_Argv(0) == "getmyguid" then
        local userinfo = et.trap_GetUserinfo( playerID )
        local guid     = et.Info_ValueForKey( userinfo, "sil_guid" )
        et.trap_SendServerCommand(clientNum, "print \"^osilEnT GUID: ^7"..guid.."\n")
    end
    return 1
end

Or perhaps there's an easier way to simply print the GUID within the command's exec line, with no need for any LUA mod?

That's great to hear! And I don't really care if they know about the SS being taken, if they are clean then they have nothing to hide, and if they are cheating they have already been caught so HAH!

This is a great idea.. But I don't even know if this is possible, because the only reason PB was able to take a screen capture of the client's game view was because it was a separate entity installed on the client's machine.. So I'm not sure this would be possible..

If it is at all possible though, I do agree with Dzikus about avoiding the global database at least for now.. This would require a central database that would be in high demand and not at all cheap to run - I doubt the silEnT team receive anything like enough donations to support such a system.

You mean how can you make !chicken etpl say "ETPlayer is a chicken!" ?

If that is what you mean, I'm fairly sure you would need the command to be defined as follows:

command = chicken
exec = chat "[1?] is a chicken!"
desc = Call someone chicken
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 etc etc

To help you understand what the "[1?]" means - the 1 passes the 1st thing you type after !chicken, and the ? part tells silEnT MOD to look for a partial playername match..

So you could go even further and change the command to this..

command = insult
exec = chat "[1?] is a [2]!"
desc = Insult somebody
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 etc etc

And then do !insult etpl fool, and the server would then say "ETPlayer is a fool!"

EDIT: I found this, it may help you: http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot#shrubbot.cfg

If you do it, I like the idea of providing a standard pack of ones to choose from and allowing admins to supplement, even allow certain shrubbot levels access to certain images etc....

 

Otherwise -- gonna be a lot of penises running around the map LOL.

Since the thread has been bumped already, I can finally say - this detail by BECK is a great, particularly if you want all clan members to have a clan symbol / logo over them.. If there was this level of control over them I would probably opt-in for the avatar system.

Great stuff, thanks silEnT team!

Great suggestion and thank you gaoesa!

Great to hear you're making a comeback dude - we need guys like you to keep ET alive!

Don't give up hope!  A hosting company will never completely remove data until plenty of time has passed, because if they still have your data ready to go, it means you are more likely to come back and keep paying them! If they deleted your data they would be very foolish.. So await their response and pay the bill if they still have your data!

MINIMAL_LEVEL_TOEXECUTE	= 20			-- minimal level to execute this command
SHUFFLE_COMMAND			= "!shuffle"	-- shuffle command
SHUFFLE_AFTERTIME		= 5*60			-- 5min

Client = { }

function et_InitGame( levelTime, randomSeed, restart ) 
	maxclients = et.trap_Cvar_Get( "sv_maxclients" ) 
end

function et_ClientCommand( num, cmd )
	local arg0 = string.lower(cmd)
	local arg1 = string.lower(et.trap_Argv(1))
	
	if et.G_shrubbot_level( num ) >= MINIMAL_LEVEL_TOEXECUTE and arg0 == SHUFFLE_COMMAND or arg1 == SHUFFLE_COMMAND then
		StartTime = os.time()
		for i = 0, maxclients - 1 do
			local team = et.gentity_get(i, "sess.sessionTeam")
			if team ~= 3 then
				Client[i] = team
			end
		end
		return true	-- let execute it
	end
	
	if arg0 == "team" and StartTime ~= nil then
		if arg1 == "b" then
			if os.time() >= (StartTime + SHUFFLE_AFTERTIME) and Client[num] == 1 then
				return false
			end
		elseif arg1 == "r" then
			if os.time() >= (StartTime + SHUFFLE_AFTERTIME) and Client[num] == 2 then
				return false
			end
		end
	end
end

It is just concept but it should works, in this case they won't be able to change to ->spec-> another team too

 

Sweeeet thank you Now to try get our server admin while he has a moment to integrate it

I am requesting a new shuffle server cvar to prevent players from switching teams until after a predifined period of time..

For example, g_shuffle_staytime 300 would prevent players from switching teams until 5 minutes after any shuffle (be it via shrubbot command or auto shuffle).

This would be SO helpful.

If this were to be implemented, it should not affect !putteam, as there are occasions where people DO need to move soon after a shuffle (if a player leaves for example), but dealing with this manually would be so much better than dealing with all the team stackers we have every day..

Could it be implemented?

If you need any extra infos I will be stalking so feel free to ask

Great job guys! One of the best releases of SilEnT ever in my opinion!

Ah, I did fear this would be the case..  It's not urgent, we get by just fine, it's just something that quite a few of our members have requested over time.

Ok first off, I know silEnT uses ident rather than MAC's, but for cross-referencing purposes with our other servers (Jaymod, NQ, Nitmod, etc), it can be helpful to see MAC addresses.

If it is easy, I would like to be able to see MAC addresses in !finger.. But if it's a massive audeal I understand why you would not want to implement it seeing as how silEnT does not use MAC addresses for hardware bans.

Any feedback from the dev team on this would be appreciated

If someone constantly evades consiquences by removing silent.dat / etkey then simply IP ban him. Nothing else for it >_< People like that don't deserve to be allowed to play on your server >_<
