GTNews Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi, a few days ago, a shocking news came out: Evenbalance full stopped the support for ET and RtCW. To enable playing on PB secured server, the neccessary etkey files is no longer generated. Old player will not have any problems, but: New player are unable to join such a server. For this reason I foundet http://etkey.org , where everyine can simply generate a new etkey file. Additional to this you can find the actual Punkbuster client files for windows and linux there. http://et.splatterladder.com/gfx/ETKey_org_kl.png One of the main problems is, that real novice user don`t know what went wrong when the game only returns the "Emtpy CD Key Not Allowed" message. For this I generated a small pk3 which, placed in the servers mod folder, give a little more info to the new player, and with one button-click the solution for the problem by a visit of etkey.org. http://wolffiles.de/filepics/4381.jpg You can download the file here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasm Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks for doing this. I have added your pk3 to my servers. I have also posted a link to your pk3 download link on other forums. You are a service to the ET community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasm Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hey I hate to say it, but it doesn't get downloaded to my computer when I tested it without an etkey. I wish it would have worked. I really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=EMP=Avery13 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Das Rebellion Clan has created a etkey generator that actually works. I use it for my ET now because I didn't have an etkey for a little while there... I would recommend using it, because... well it works. http://dasrebellion.com/upload/DRCClanETkeyGenerator.zip Extract it to anywere you like Click on generate etkey, then click on save etkey It will create a file called etkey in you c:directory Copy this file into your etmain directory You can now now play It will create a key beginning with drc... well because we created it. But it still works perfectly fine and normal, too! If you want, you could probably just make that a link in game on the menu or whatever or as an error message and it will direct them to that.

Management hellreturn Posted October 13, 2011 Management Share Posted October 13, 2011 Avery, you can always submit the software here because when admins / players are browsing software, they can easily find it because by time this topic will be long lost but download section will always show up your software instantly. http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/files/category/3-software/ Thank you.

=EMP=Avery13 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Alright, I mean.. if you guys are cool with having the **DRC** stuff on the site, I will do that. We also have an ET installation software that will include the etkey software in it as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
