Empty Serverlist Fix

[Rudi]

I need a little help here

I downloaded to 2 zipfiles and replaced both in my enemy territory map
But when I launch ET, i still see an empty serverlist.
Ah yes, I use patchselector to play... Dunno if you need that information

If you install my Proxy Service it will work with the patch selector.

Install and start it as Administrator and patch to an etmaster.net.

Hello,

The development team have said they are looking to help the community create their own server.

Here is the information on this:

Great news macbeth, let me know when and if a new binary is distrubated so i can compile with the correct crc32 for et-sound.so (to fix sound) for now ive testing to compiled it to include 2.60b modded version and original version.

The development team is not helping the community, and we have already made a fix. That post is useless.

@ztealmax - You do not need it to be recompiled nor to have the same CRC, just modify what et-sdl/et-sound.so is expecting, this really isn't difficult, especially for a *nix user, I would hope..

[ztealmax]

As far as iknow the et-sdl-sound.so check crc32 on bin file and if it is correct
it fixes the sound, and if not it doesnt, according to the maker of et-sdl-sound.so

No way around that except recompiling and adding crc32 of modded file.

case 0x6ab49f82:
version = "ET 2.60b"; // Original 2.60b Patch
writeJump((void *) 0x08188250, (void *) SNDDMA_Init);
writeJump((void *) 0x08188840, (void *) SNDDMA_GetDMAPos); writeJump((void *) 0x081888d0, (void *) SNDDMA_Shutdown); writeJump((void *) 0x081888f0, (void *) SNDDMA_BeginPainting); writeJump((void *) 0x081888e0, (void *) SNDDMA_Submit); _Cvar_Get = (cvar_t* (*) (const char *, const char *, int)) 0x08073bb0;
dma = (dma_t *) 0x0926d3a4; break;

The file can be very easily bytepatched, a switch statement translates down to a JMP table, so you would find the case for '0x6ab49f82' and replace that CRC.

I will look into this when I get time and should be able to provide a .sh you can run to patch this.

hmm wouldn't punkbuster complain if et.x86 has a different crc? Or it's such a fail that it doesn't even check such things

PB is dead, it doesn't kick for anything now.

well at this point I would just recompile et with sound support taken from xreal, and change the #define with the server name and stop using et-sdl-sound if I have to play in servers without pb, but I prefer to use the standard et and change /etc/hosts then

Ohh man if you would fix that for me i would love you forever since me trying to compile this old et-sdl-sound.so is a epic fail

Eager waiting for the .sh (When i finally have sound i can do what im good at, making maps)

Sincerally soundless

a side note, what other anticheat software are there for ET?

you could do it yourself:
open it (edit: I mean et-sdl-sound.so) with a hex editor, then search for 82 9F B4 6A (it's 6ab49f82 if you read the bytes from last to first) and replace it with the new crc (the byte order must be changed in the same fashion!)

The assembly would change from cmp eax, 6ab49f82 to the new value. Done.

Didn't test it because I don't have any modified et, but it should work.
