No PB support for ET anymore

[daredevil]

Start disabling PB on your servers unless you want to loose players cos of no GUID.

i think after evenbalance dont support anymore its better to disable pb and search or build a other cheat protection


but what about 2.55+ installed servers or Enhanced mod........all will be not supported i think

No PB will eventually cause more problems on jaymod. Admins have eventually to decide if someone is cheating or not. And lots of admins are just terrible.

this is for sure. not only this. clans will have problems with setting admin levles. someone w/o etkey cant get admin. also, ppl can fake each other easily and you cant even check it anymore.

Anyone wanna make an own anti-cheatprogram and put it online? XD

Or maybe Trackbase can step up, and make one of it's own?
I know, I'm in to coding myself. I know it will take time, a lot of time. But maybe this could be an idea for the future?
If those server with a own-anti-cheat-program would put there heads together, than maybe we could have a good substitute?

Also, I don't see tzac go online on Jaymod. Like Carnage implemented, newbies will need to download tzac and play with it.
1) You need to clear out somewhere that tzac is needed to play et (on jaymod).
2) tzac needs to configure their program to Jaymod settings.

Ok, maybe that isn't much to do. But it needs to happen if they want to go to Jaymod (which I also doubt).


My thoughts: We need a general anti-cheat program. Something that can be connected with other servers (like pb), and actually work proper.
Now we have a few servers that use an own anti-cheat program. And some really suck.

The Problem is that this will be a hell of work. i think it will be a fulltimejob, if you wanna do a good job. you need to have solutions for guidspoofing, hacks, name stealers, some program for the server owner, a own server for all the information you will get...thats alot of time and money.

I would never imagine you saying this but its the truth. This news is a slap in the face
Also PBBANS has also stopped support for ET and no more new bans will be made.

With the PB auth server offline no new GUID's will be generated and current ones will not have the age info anymore which effectively means this is the end of the line for PBBans support in ET.

Without the PB auth server the Hub will not add new bans.

To build an anti-cheat you need resources and help from people who are into coding for a living, literally lol.
The trackbase community is pretty big and gathers players from jaymod, as well as noquarter, etpub/silent, etpro, and so on. Not to mention many people donate money to keep it up. Something could be attempted to be done if the TB staff members themselves supported the idea. A sort of "trackbase anti-cheat" (tbac LOL!) isn't a totally absurd idea if it's done with the right intentions and resources. But even with total dedication it would take a lot of time to make it from scratch. If this hypotetical (and I repeat, hypotetical) trackbase anti-cheat for "fun"-mods was to be developed in collaboration with tzac, for example, you'd already have the backbone for a good anti-cheat.

Again that's just a thought. Maybe I'm going too far.

hi dare,
will jay2 get the trackbase rating protection?

[Spl@$h~]

nah doubt that TB will try to do something .. there stuff planned which take a lot of time and still not done , so a new anti cheat protection would take months.

or many many more ppl who will help for free.

ok we need an protection like pb was.......server files......for linux and windows.....and a automatic download for clients and no extra installition like tzac

its a good protection but most of all players dont want to download first and wait .....wait.........and then play........they want to connect.......and play directly.....any kicks and many downloads will scare them.

[HellfiG]

oh well, it was an idea.
Maybe we should try to post to clan forums, and ask for help?
There should be something we can do?
