Empty Serverlist Fix

[ETCC|Lykaner]

http://forum.trackbase.net/threads/1...2018#post12018

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

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.

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.

[Rudi]

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..

[testforecho]

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

[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.

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

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

[giriel]

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
