No PB support for ET anymore

[carnage]

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

PB comes with the default ET install, so you still have to install it in order to have it. The way you put it this supposed new anti-cheat would work as an addon, much like enhmod is, rather than a separated software... am I right? Would that even work?

Well anyway it seems people around here do not have sufficient knowledge to develop such a thing, too bad. I don't care THAT much about rating despite being in top 50 for some weeks already. I would just like ET to have a safe and working alternative ID-system to substitute the seemingly soon-to-be useless punkbuster GUID system. Of course I wish this community to run well for a long long time..

Anyway, don't say noPB servers are filled with cheaters, because it's not true (I played on one for a long time and I didn't see this insane amount). Of course, it's harder for a cheater to be detected in one of those, because you only have human eyes as an anti-cheat instrument. But that is more than enough 99% of the time, especially if the admins are actually skilled. It's too easy when an anti-cheat does all the job for you... we'll see now which admins are good enough to handle their duties.

I think more people will move on to tzac-etpro... or a whole different game.

Peace out.

@Server Admins who want to keep PB enabled can use this: pb_sv_GuidRelax 7

It will allow no GUID players but still keep PB on. I am testing around and if I find something working, I will share.

It can work, my friend. If all mods get own GUID system then you will only need PB to kick people with clear detectable hax and then admins can do their job

How do bans work now if player will have no etkey anymore?

I understand your point of view, but etpro is almost a standalone game/community seeing all the differences with Jaymod and Noquarter (and I don't mean simply gameplay-wise), to make an example. Now people who play this game at semi- or competitive level (from simple scrimming to serious tournaments) exclusively have my utmost respect, I understand their reasons perfectly because I see the fun in doing those things. But no way in hell I am going to ditch the pub mods only to focus solely on etpro. At least not now that I still have a choice. I like playing on Jay/NQ/etpub/silent servers because there is absolutely no pressure in playing the way I want. Not that etpro is not fun, but it doesn't have the same care-free feeling. When there'll be no good fun-mod servers I will completely focus on etpro, but it's not happening so soon. I think it's the same for many other people. Nothing forbids people to play every mod they want.

Still, I predict some people will have a different reaction and will simply head over to etpro. I do not blame them obviously. But I won't leave the other mods so easily.

what pressure u have on et pro publics?can t u play there simply as u want?please give me details why u think this.
yes,i did not said or mentioned anything bout pressure on people to play the mods.is not about looking and thinkin at this problem in this way.there is nothing to pressure about,is just about saving a game and doing something constructive with the time that u spend anyway playing this game.And think about something else:the high skill players that plays on jaymod for rating...i m pretty sure they would be one of the finest in et pro pubs or wars.And tzac is also enabled for rating,so is not this just a huge lost of time and talent?

Another press update: we are in a hurry of coding some updates: we are going to enable rate on ALL servers. Servers known for botting will be blacklisted and taken out for rating.

what pressure u have on et pro publics?

I wasn't talking about etpro public servers at all, but about semi/competitive etpro in general.
Public etpro servers differ from other mods public servers as in there are slightly more skilled players overall and generally the settings are more challenging, but nothing much aside from that. Maybe I should mention there are more egotards and 12 year olds than on other places, but that's something you already know. This is a turn off to many NQ/Jaymod/etc. players and I personally think people shouldn't get stuck on that aspect of the mod, because it has much more to offer. Don't get me wrong when I talk about pressure: I was talking about "serious" gaming there. Pub etpro offers a good chance to train your aim and experiment settings and various techniques, but aside from that... not much.

Anyway, I won't talk about this here anymore because I fear we're going way off topic. And I've run out of things to say.
