Purple

and me please ?

Will pm you tonight/tomorrow got some stuff to do.

So, correct me if im mistaken, silent in this version disabled the possibility of servers having menu's. I mean its disabled to have main menu which for example will show your server name above the play online button when you open ET?

dookie message me on tb and ill show you around it

pm me a way to contact you and i could help.

Could you provide 2 screenshots for comparison, please, to see if it's worth it?

If you've played your own mod and just look at 1 of the screen shots you can clearly see its worth it.

Users with OSX are having the same issues on my forums as well, heres one for example..

I get what you're saying, but I think it's more than coincidence that I have 3 people who connected fine to our server before I put up 0.9.0 and now they can't.

 

I'm checking with them on what OS, client (ET:L or not) and anything else they can tell me.

Tell them to delete their silent mod folder and reconnect.

 

Are you sure you updated the server correctly? I would verify that first.

 

qagame.so/dll replaced and the silent-0.8.3.pk3 replaced by silent-0.9.3.pk3?

 

Also check server logs and client console logs see if it says anything else.

 

Hopefully the issue is with how you updated mod and not an issue with clients updating normally. (If it is silent dev will have to chime in )

 

Might be the way I have my et setup but I have not had any issues joining 0.9.0 or 0.8.3 servers like I expected.

 

where are you getting these 3's from 0.9.0 and 0.8.2

silent mod dev team 10/10  & whats your ip ill try to connect.

visuals if anything tbh, IIRC silent mod anti cheat only detected cheats on cgame init/reload. and well i highly doubt there are any cheats currently out for the mod, but its pretty easy to disable the screenshots client side. tl;dr was able to take ethbot update offsets and silent mod not even pick up on it so dont expect much. but screen shots do seem to work was able to do a simple test with r_shownormals with cvar unlocker 

@gaesao dont think of this as bullshit post it's true and you know it. So lets leave this one.

Why is there no information that Lua API has been updated to 5.3? It's critical information for admins that use custom stuff as a lot of current scripts won't work out of the box.

idd half of my scripts had to be worked around was fun

Can you elaborate on this?  I am somewhat new to lua coding and I am also curious about game and lua limitations.  Could you give an example how somebody could deny a lua script as a client on one's server?  I have a couple of common lua scripts running and this quote makes me nervous

If I posted it public silent mods would remove the post or just ban me because its 'hack' in their eyes

I'm with Dutchman on this.  I don't understand what that statement about reading the logs means.  I suppose it means if you have already overwritten the main loading screen, you'll get something in the logs about how to change it.  What about for people that have never done this?  Thanks.

"IF" the silent mod dev team would be kind enough to give me a copy of it w/o subscription I could make a few quick videos on how-to's in English.

or just wait till official release and I may do them then.

( have a tutorial series for silent mod i just havent finished it all yet. e.g remake of them

dont have newest version my self, but what i'm assuming is your original image files should have _silent added to the end of them

IIRC:  original names are camp_map.tga camp_side.tga progressbar.tga progressbar_back.tga which are located in gfx/loading/files.tga

AFAIK: rename camp_map to camp_map_silent.tga

Applications: Photoshop, or a more user friendly one is GIMP. but if you already have these files modified this shouldn't be needed. just need to rename them.

but don't quote me on this because I don't have test access to 0.9.0.

Yeah you do not need the commands, but it does not hurt to have them.

 

And at the time thing, I looked at my posts and only found 1 other one, so I don't think so.

off topic: as much as i smoke all my posts should be 4:20 :c

Thanks.  This just auto fixes the shoutcaster to limbo-team switching?  I still keep the [command] syntax in shrub?

btw do you always post at 4:20 EST?

This is based off level so admins with minimum of  level of " local ADMIN_LEVEL = 10 " will automatically be shoutcaster on the server but once you join a team limbo or not should allow you to join without having to log your self out.

IIRC limbo just sends commands like you would do with binds e.g team r 4 3 

ps to adapt to your admin levels just change the number in the lua script.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean the pk3 cleaner, actually. It's the ET launcher what I meant.

It can be found here: http://www.himalia.fi/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1178

Please name who is "he" from your post, what shouldn't exist and what has "he". It's hard to response when the post is written using only pronouns.

Guess its hard to read the name of the quoted post, and if you read my post there's a key word exist which is clearly in gaoesa's quoted box.

He being gaoesa.

edit: What shouldn't exist( although i do understand he probably means shouldn't be needed ) is pk3 cleaner external nor internal from my understandings of his post yet he has one and you request it be public it's just funny that it's all getting contradicted on himself now.

Purple please stop crying already. There are no game play changes or feature removals between 0.8.2 and 0.9.0. The menus were a huge problem. It is the most complained issue on all ET forums and for a reason. Even ET Legacy added a command to mitigate the problem and you did yourself a small script to mitigate this issue that shouldn't even exist. 

In my opinion the problem is in the admin's mind only. They worked on their menus so hard, they look so stunning they would do anything to keep them Most of the problem is of that nature.

As a matter of fact I am always pissed off when I connect to some server just to check something or whatever and I have some shit around when I disconnect. I am forced to search for the pk3 file just to remove it so I don't see that shit anymore.

This is how I connect to my favorite servers:

- on linux: I create a bunch of scripts with meaningful names that run et and connect to the servers and I place them on the PATH, I could do it better, but I don't care, it's simple enough.

- on windows: I use the app written by gaoesa,

 

@gaoesa, you could share the link if people don't know it yet.

That's interesting to read considering he just said they shouldn't exist but he has one himself rofl, and now it's being asked for WOW. That's just beautiful. 

@Purple, don't nit-pick, please, don't be ridiculous.

 

btw, you started it, so let me just remind you:

this is what you asked for and you got the proper answer.

 

You didn't ask for 0.9.0, so another wrong argument.

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/158.69.30.187:27960/

thx he said a few so waiting for a "few".

edit: 0.8.2 server not 0.9.0 since 0.9.0 prevents this from my understandings.

I think we can close this thing with you. I believe you will get yourself another mod from now. That is what you already said you would do.

 

Don't recall but okay.

Only a very few most responsible admins didn't force altered offline menus

 

Could you give me a server ip that currently does not have a menu and is active. ( 10 consistent players )

We'll just wait for the public release and see how it goes from there with the constant "errors" that'll be fixed in a year.

guys like Gao posted "After you play on 0.9.0 server, you must remove the client binaries from the silent directory before joining 0.8.2 server."

not a pain to do that lol , and post on your clans sites what to do

With the current state of the game being in a "dying" state when we do get new players who are fresh to the game this could be completely confusing and a pain in the ass to explain to someone with no knowledge on the game or any of its files. I still to do this day have to explain to many of the players on my server how to change settings in their config, not saying I hate doing it, it's just the point of adding more to it.

This was a side effect for fixing the menu systems. I understand there can be a few days delay before all active servers update and it is unfortunate. However, there is nothing we can do to prevent it and I also think this is made out to be a bigger problem than it is. Just update the server. The players will realize they can connect to 0.9.0 but not to 0.8.2.

Fixing the menu system. The menu system really wasn't even a problem tbfh, a simpler solution that many people did and had 0 problems with and are way more user friendly and last time i checked the guys over at ETL dev team even added a cvar for pk3 cleaner to remove the shit. I have a pk3 cleaner my self for my clan which is less then 10 lines of code and could be "open sourced" so there would of been no possibilities of malicious activities. ( ps these shitty menus that really aren't shitty even your own dev uses rofl ) 

It is not AC related. There is no "fix" and if admins refuse to update their servers, it will cause issues that are obviously well deserved. It is not a flaw to not support deprecated versions. That is how all software works when there is no plan for maintaining the older versions. You are obviously free to choose what ever mod you desire for your server. If you feel your private mod is better than silEnT, it sounds like there is no problem for your server then.

That's like saying use windows 10 over windows 7. and I wasn't blaming it AC related just note the way you're taking this mod is just a complete fuck to regular players and server owners around. What other mod has had reverse compatibility problems? This mod started off as a top quality nice mod. Over a year for an update and you ass fuck half of the people and don't even have the courtesy to give them a reach around. 

And excuse my French.

@TheSilencerPL this is exactly what my other post ment. Theres more to it but why even bother just gonna end in a forum ban zzzz.

No. There is no problem connecting to 0.9.0 servers. The 0.8.2 is deprecated as soon as we release the 0.9.0.

I'm saying if a server would stick to 0.8.2 would this cause conflicts if so this is quiet a flaw. Not sure about other server owners but we ( my clan ) do pretty intensive testing. Which may leave us at the current build and ditch the AC of it and go with something private.

Yes. After you play on 0.9.0 server, you must remove the client binaries from the silent directory before joining 0.8.2 server.

Correct me if i'm wrong but is something that is going to be a on going problem? aka on final release are users going to have to remove client binaries still?
