Empty Serverlist Fix

[testforecho]

Just a reminder, PB may be dead but there still are checks being performed by Game Violations and all.
I was trying to figure out how XFire did their nice overlay and seems like they didn't like that

indeed, that's why I said I prefer to use the original et, not to mention with tzac

actually some things like rinput or et-sdl-sound are technically 'hacks', xfire too, only that they are 'known'
Anything that messes with the game memory can be regarded as 'hack' in theory

No, PB is not kicking for anything, at all. Try it yourself.

XFire is whitelisted as an application for using OpenGL redirection to draw their interface.

Indeed XFire is whitelisted, but glintercept isn't and you can't create your own overlay without risking problems.

Well, nowadays you can, since PB no longer kicks for anything at all.

Other anti-cheats you would have to contact to get a legitimate application whitelisted in their detection lists.

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.

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?

[Patriot]

Tzac but thats only for ETPro afaik
and apparently that project seems to be shutdown also atleast after what the dev has said

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.
