Title: Discussion from: To close war2 clients except combat or not to close
Post by: iL on March 18, 2015, 05:07:56 AM
Poll here: http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,665.0.html (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,665.0.html)
Well you stated that not only "Combat" is the "proper" 2.0.2.0 version, so the title is a bit inaccurate.

Agree, just briefed. More accurate "combat, some custom builds or full version updated from blizzard servers, except some specific conditions".
I also think you forgot to mention the anti-hack project and if/how soon it will be released, what will it do etc.

I said about that briefly: "And i also plan to release an antihack software instead of closing anything to fight against cheaters".
Do you think that should be detailed?

Agree, this thread is important, i'll remove the offtopic from here to keep it clean.

Also make sure i'll check that 0-posts persons "Date Registered:    Today at 01:20:13 PM" to confirm they are real.

It's a solid post.  I guess they just made some kind of agreement not to have people make a bunch of posts in the poll thread.

yes, special agreement to unban eq despite the rules, special agreement to not piss eq off by killing discussion in the thread. You know i dont really like those rules, and if i dont see them respected/executed, they will no longer apply to me in my consience. And then we'll have something i'd call an unnecessary problem, but apparently its OK to negotiate with terrorists here


I have always do what i do for the best of this server, call me robin in the hood asshole, certainly not a terrorist.

Now let this communauty make his own choice.

I don't know why I'm a smart-ass.  You asked if your post was off-topic and I agreed it wasn't so I updated the thread title to something more appropriate.  It wasn't a trick!

Moved some more flame from that vote.

Please, post your opinions and arguments about to close or not to close the client in vote topic: http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,665.0.html (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,665.0.html)

And here's a good thread to talk about Equinox and his thread.
I also wondered about these 2 persons accepted his ideas, but they probably have some reason for that?..

I noticed Player's vote said to block that client and his reason was "It's not hard to download/install war2combat."

That's definitely true.

What are some (non-hacking) reasons people would not download war2combat?  Anyone know?

1
-don't know where to download the client
--but, if they have a version of war2 with server.war2.ru gateway added, they know who we are and should be able to find the download

2
-don't know why their log in is failing
--think they are banned, or that the server is down.
--may decide to try again later, still can't get on, eventually just say forget it
---if so, how can we prevent this?  possible banner ads/warning campaign before blocking that client

3
-like to have original music
--but original music is available on server.war2.ru downloads

4
-i know original war2 was released for apple computers, does that still work?
--if so, banning wrong versions of client could end war2 for apple users unless they install virtual windows for mac

5
-virus check etc, some programs will block war2combat as a program that has not been downloaded enough times or flag it for other reasons
--is this still happening?

6
-Native language versions

7
-anything else??

1: It's pretty easy, Google: Warcraft II free.

2: There alot of different options if it really happen, Send E-mail to war2ru email list, use your official website, use your official forum.

3: I am enginner sound, i already told to il i can do better then the original game, i can recreate or i can do something new, even better i can do both.

4: Warcraft II was working with macintosh aka mac os, there a difference between macintosh and mac, i doubt people still use macintosh in 2015, if it's still work with mac, so they can download for free a mac converter into windows, il can also work on war2ru mac version instead to work on anti hack for no reason.

5: I got virus warning when i download everything in exe file, you dont want warning, just zip your exe.

6: Everyone should play with the same version since different version have different hotkey, by exemple french version is way easier to play compare to english one. Hotkeys are easier and faster to do, if they cant learn original version like me, the worst english men ever, so they can made an add on like german do.

Post by: Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart) on March 18, 2015, 12:45:33 PM
If everyone is on Combat and the same version, could we then, when we update Combat, use the log-in "checking version" and tell them an update is available, from within the client, and initiate the download/update?
Title: Re: Discussion from: To close war2 clients except combat or not to close
Post by: iL on March 18, 2015, 04:21:45 PM
I think it would be interesting to see how many of the people voting "no", use  2.0.2.1 and what reasons they would have for doing so. I don't really see any valid reason.
A valid reason is to let people use version they like. Yes, you can make some manipulations with MPQ to attach german keyboard to combat, you can also repack MPQ to add music or videos or w/e you want to play with.
You can also make some research to convert russian version supported windowed mode and steam overlay to 2.0.2.1 probably.
You can also disable UAC and DEP in your windows7 to make it work from program files as a default path.
But you should be at least an avdanced user, otherwise you just realize it's not possible or too complicated, install combat and refuse version you liked.

Another valid reason is if you are newbie: you just click the 1-st server line, get red obscure error message, something about improper version, try to click other servers, get several more red error messages and think that network is not work for this game.

Also, if you are scared of losing players, you could put a notice when you log in the game
Unfortunately war2 doesn't support custom messages while connecting the server. You just get standard one, feels something broken and closes that.

Anti Hack not gonna proof anything, only admin will know truth, also anti hack not gonna fix lag and your not gonna be able to caught hacker by your own if anti hack really caught something and WHO???
Antihack should show active hacks to anyone playing in the same game BTW. Everybody can try it.
I'll announce to test that when i make it.
Lag is not something related to versions, you probably mean warlatency incompatibility, it's not related to lagging.

So what is this anti hack about. Watching known hacks and monitoring our system???
Yes, something like that.
Watching known hacks, reporting to the server about that.

I would imagine having everyone on one client would benefit IL and team as well when it comes to development, testing, troubleshooting problems, etc.
I'd say different versions could have different problems. So some individual problem with combat could be resovled by using different version.
And closing version will not let to do that.

Is this a War2Combat issue?
Title: Re: Discussion from: To close war2 clients except combat or not to close
Post by: Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart) on March 18, 2015, 05:08:03 PM
No, it's if you got War2 some other way but have server.war2.ru on your Gateway list somehow.  That part of the problem goes back to my point 1, not the biggest issue since these people must know what server.war2.ru is (or else how would they even have it as an option?).  Bigger problem is the last bit of iL's message and my point 2, they don't know why it's not working and think the server is down.

It's how server handles incompatible version. It denies it and then war2 shows you that message.

Seems like he's played a lot of games to me.  How can you discount his vote?  Not sure who the other one is.

Because i try to be fair with everyone here, 1 weeks is not enouph for a decision like this, people who dint play this week cant vote.

Are we gonna put limit to know what a legit smurf is??? He is a smurf blid, there no good smurf or bad smurf, smurf are not allowed, thats how it suppose to be, let keep this pool fair, take your vote if you want blid.

ps: This is why.... be someone in this game is important, when someting like this happen, you have to be someone, thats why peoples need to keep playing on their real name and smurfing less.

They can smurf if they want, but for my own part, they dont have the right to be in this kind of decision, this is a privilege for peoples who keep this game alive by standing their own identity.

His vote definitely, definitely counts.  If it makes you feel better, we can disqualify his vote, and I can vote to allow all clients in his place.  Even though I largely want the hack version closed, I'll vote to keep it open just to make Teron-Gorefiend's vote count.  It's stupid to disqualify him.  His IP doesn't match with anyone else voting.  He's played 400 games and played for 3 months.  He's part of the community.  He counts.

Quit whining you got your poll and your losing, quit making excuses, you talk about doing things for the players.

Teron Gorefiend is a known player, and he's even won a tournament recently. Quit being a bitch about it because your losing the poll right now, you should've been banned so if Teron gorefiend isn't allowed to vote, you shouldn't of had an account to vote to begin with either then.

I dont think we even have to talk about the destroyer guy, the fact is we should know everyone who vote and nobody know him.. This guys teron gorefiend is braggin since 4 month to be a smurf on his profile game.

I dont see why we gonna allow smurf just because hes playing longer then any other smurf.

My own opinion is take your vote because we all know you and its a fair vote even if you dont play.. But let's take in consideration even if you dont play, if your someone of this communauty we can allow you because you can start playing anytime and you are someone.

But for my own part he not should be allowed because hes a smurf, no matter how much time he play on it, he dont deserve that privilege, i stand my equinox account since ten years, same for claw, saint, player, unforgiven, you, iL, we deserve that privilege.

Do what you want, i told you, your the boss.

That poll is not a reason to holywar, it's a technical question.

Equinox, "to close" means to deny joining the server by internal bnet versioncheck? Or allow joining with deny playing would be ok also?

Wh
but i really thing he dont deserve that privilege yet dude,
Who are you to decide if I get to vote or not? This is retarded. I play. I voted once. This is it.
A good analogy would be general elections in countries. Even if a person who leaves his country and works abroad, does not contribute to taxes or is active in his country has a RIGHT to vote.
Same should apply to people not playing at all in recent times or not playing as much.
I'm playing, so the issue does not even arise.
You make dumb retarded rules to suit YOUR needs. Its a fair democratic poll. I voted once. Chill the fuck down.

As it suppose to be you have to refuse any others clients to join our server except the original one, war2ru. 4.0.

You also have to use the same patche for everyone, it mean, when you create a new patche, everyone have to download it to be able of playing.

Everyone on same client, everyone on same patche.

PS: Or, i know you can desable peoples of playing, so maybe you can let join others clients/patches, but they are not able to play, they are just able to chat on the channel.

So this people can ask why they cant play and peoples gonna tell them to download the real version.

I see, similar as on $pace's server: nobody can join and play without his custom war2 being started via his loader.

Yes, that is also how i imagine the possible future: to let all the clients join the server to show it's active and do something with wrong clients.
"Wrong" means at least with no antihack applied or probably improper version if that really causes problems with lags and maphacking.
"Do something" means eighter deny playing/chating or just marking them as "wrong" to let others know they are not safe.
Probably mark for test period and deny after making sure that the system works.

Or!!!!!!

If i see it by myself, we can let other clients join your server and play, but they absolutly have to install patches 4.0 or every new one your gonna make, if they try to join with another patches of 4.0 they are not gonna be able to play.

If we can test this and it's work it can be possible to do that, so peoples can keep playing with music and orginal language.

But i need to see if anti hack gonna work for both version and if the latency bug gonna be fix.

looks reasonable, that looks similar to my plans:
something obvious about unsafe clients, like PM to all other players joining the game.
With possibly denying them to play after the system test period.

Just hope you understand when i said anti hack i talk about the one we already have... the one who keep show gold mine when you try to close map hack.

If you want to add your own anti hack after your free to do it, safety is always welcome, untill we have the gold mine one on every different clients and the war2lat fix everything is cool.

His vote definitely, definitely counts.  If it makes you feel better, we can disqualify his vote, and I can vote to allow all clients in his place.  Even though I largely want the hack version closed, I'll vote to keep it open just to make Teron-Gorefiend's vote count.  It's stupid to disqualify him.  His IP doesn't match with anyone else voting.  He's played 400 games and played for 3 months.  He's part of the community.  He counts.

If you want to complain about a vote, complain about IBecomeShivaDestroyerOfGN.

I dont think we even have to talk about the destroyer guy, the fact is we should know everyone who vote and nobody know him.. This guys teron gorefiend is braggin since 4 month to be a smurf on his profile game.

I dont see why we gonna allow smurf just because hes playing longer then any other smurf.

My own opinion is take your vote because we all know you and its a fair vote even if you dont play.. But let's take in consideration even if you dont play, if your someone of this communauty we can allow you because you can start playing anytime and you are someone.

Great! So that means I get to vote after all. *goes to vote*

I've been thinking about it, and I'd like the messed up version closed, but it becomes a timing issue.  We keep this poll open for awhile, and then we need to put up banners in the game telling people they need to use Combat, and we have to leave that up for about a month before we do anything.  By the time it's OK to start client checking and forcing people to use Combat, I think iL might have the anti-hack ready, which is a stronger solution anyway.  However, if iL thinks it will take 6 months or longer to make the anti-hack, then I'd say just go ahead and mandate people use Combat, since that's an easy temporary partial solution. 

What I don't understand about Equinox's position is that he thinks blocking a bad version of the game is a stronger solution to hacking than an actual anti-hack.  Doesn't make much sense to me.

yes because you only quoted half the sentence and therefore successfully ignored its meaning.  im saying we can only disqualify his vote if we put  another vote in its place, which would render the disqualification of that vote meaningless, and the thrust of my argument is in fact that the vote should and will stand.

I see all this close/open thing as an equinox childish rant that serve very little purpose or none at all.

its dumb.

Yes, this is a solution, a temporary one.
Cuz if iL thinks and can develop a working anti-hack. all this serves no purpose rather than to have an actual way of blocking hacker probably sooner than iL takes to develop that antihack.

I pretty much agree to blid has poted so far , it is only a matter of timing.

 if we have waited 10+years for an antihack... can't we fucking wait 6 more months for iL to do it? its just not reasonable... but hey, its coming from equinox.. he wants his 10min of fame and being center of attention once more...
and here we are, debating about it.

but let's say I give in to this, and actually put a vote on this.

I'd vote yes close clients IF and only IF:

-  we have the localized versions of war2combat ready for download. All of them: RUS,ENG,DEU,FR,SPA

- Need a thorough advertising campaign, on game server making sure everyone that now play need to download new client
       a big banner on main page explaining about it too.
       and if iL can make it so that he can allow older versions but deny player to join and create games that would be best.

this would be roughly, 3 months from now.

(maybe even iL got his antihack ready by then, and all this convo  is just wasted time lmao)

Original music subject:

the music available for download is midi, it doesnt compare

the original music doesn't only sound better, but the game changes so when you are about to go into battle, the battle tune kicks in.
its not the same as having that midis just playing in background


but, this is no issue.

All you have to do is, have your War2BNE CD either inserted on  your media drive or mounted as an image on your computer
War2Combat WILL read the music.
at least thats how it was last time i tried this, (last time i tried was with 3.05 version)

so maybe put a text telling people about this instead, maybe in the game installation window notes.

I already told it 25 times.

There already an add on for german.

German War2 Hotkeys    Drop this file in your War2 directory to use traditional German full Warcraft II version hotkeys with War2 Combat. Created by JesK    Click Here to Download
Version: N/A    File size: 12.11 MB    N/A


But you guys have never listen me, or acting if you just dont!

And seriously, who cares about german?? If we made a special add on for german, better made special add on for everyone.

The fact is, they can use it because a player made it himself, so it's all good, but there no reason to take cares more of personal satisfaction of german while italian french polak dint have special add on for themself.

Seems like the best short-term fix is to close the other versions.  Announce upcoming closure of other versions for a month or two in game/forums w/ instructions to get combat (plus applying German hotkey hack), then close the other versions.  very e z.

How about you saying you would change your vote, which would immediately tie the poll?

Also I wonder if some people voted to allow all versions because they want to support the server staff and oppose Equinox.  But maybe it would be best to vote to close the hack versions.

No, the cheats are only broken because of different war2 versions then they are designed for. They can easily be fixed. A pvpgn setting won't help. Closing it might make someone fix or redo new hacks and make them public and totally fuck the ss option.

just strictly anti hack. I would not fuck with version checks and that type of shit until anti hack is ready to be implemented. Then we can better secure our cheat system with version checking and so on.

I would really like to see more of the UWC.  It was awesome and I wanted to eventually participate in it.  Just because this vote didn't pass, I don't think you should immediately convert to this hopeless attitude.  I don't see why a small thing like this should prevent you from contributing to the server to the best of your own ability.  Don't get discouraged.  Keep going.

I try everything to save this game, unfortunately the staff dont really cares and most of peoples cant play without hacks, im just done.

why didn't you? its a shame eq couldnt gather 16 player brackets instead of 8...

I could come up with quite a few excuses like having to work, promoting the server, and a few side projects.  Honestly, I don't know what I was doing during the event but it's been a bit since I've even gotten on to play.  It's possible I could have played in it and I probably should have.  I also probably should have mentioned how I felt about all of the boards and regularly updated topics that were implemented for the UWC.  It just creates too much work for the person handling it.  I think the drive to keep up with it quickly decreases when you create an overabundance of routine work such as this.  I actually think that's one of the reasons UWC went downhill.  This reminds me of the saying "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach" except instead of food, it's boards and topics.  o_o

I honestly don't see much trying from you.  Trying to save this game would be to continue hosting tournaments for the UWC to bring a better experience to war2 in it's current state.  Also, I played two archers games with a different newb on my team each time the other day.  The host asked me if it was okay and I gladly played with them on my team.  This was probably the first map that these guys had ever played on the server and I tried to coach them from start to finish.  Maybe they will get on the server again because they felt welcome and would like to learn more about the map they played.  They have also met a player who is willing to help them learn.  I can't tell you how many times I've seen random players saying that I was the one to teach them how to play.  After those games I went and joined one of your GOW games.  I was welcomed to a S9, to which I replied s9=bananas, and was immediately banned from the game.  How does this help save the game?

You dint see no shit because your comming on this forum twice per week and com to server once for year.

I host tournament since 2006, what your saying is pure bullshit and only your own words.

If you want to waste your time for a game where the staff is lazy and the player are hacker, go get it, for my own part it's enouph, thank you.

This raises an important point - i really think the non-gowers actually contribute way more to the war2 and community growth than the regular gowers. They think they're real war2 and master race but in reality they're the least needed players here. I'm sure all the non-tunnel visioned admins agree, but i don't care if they do. Opinions can't change the reality. And we all know what that reality is. It starts with the "s9" and ends with a ban

Forbid hackable version of War2 and don't ban people for not knowing s9 imo.

idk, one requires creating a custom program that can catch hackers and interact with war2

the other requires changing a pvpgn setting
Promoting laziness?

No, I'd still prefer to see the anti-hack created eventually.  But that's a project that still isn't completed, and it seems like giving some notice and then forcing everyone onto one version could be a interim solution until the anti-hack is complete.  If everyone is on one version of War2, we could even force them onto a version with the anti-hack bundled in at some point.
