Kmod 2.60b
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 12:59 am
I'm helping Clutch152 with the next version of Kmod and we had a pretty cool idea for a feature that might help the community out.
We were trying to think of a way to help server admins deal with the 2.60/2.60b issue. What we came up with was putting some links in the "incorrect et.exe version" window that appears when ETPro fails to find 2.60b and disconnects the client.
The links would route players to these sites:
2.60b patch installer:
http://www.bogeylicker.co.uk/et/ET-2.60b-installer.exe
http://www.bogeylicker.co.uk/et/ET-2.60-revert.exe
and/or
http://www.bogeylicker.co.uk/et/ET2_60b_installer.zip
Main page:
http://www.ghostworks.co.uk/index.php?name=News&catid=5
ETpack 1.2
http://www.xfire.be/?x=tutorial&mode=item&id=10
and/or
Ultimate ET Installer:

What might be better is if the link to McSteves 2.60b installer copy/pasted from Kmods folder to the clients desktop instead of d/l, but don't know if thats possible.
I d/l'ed the source code and found popup_errormessage.menu but didn't find any lines about "incorrect et.exe version" which makes me think the message comes from the server, but dunno. Do you know how that works ReyalP ?

What i was thinking was we could create our own popup_errormessage.menu and have it overlay the "incorrect et.exe version" execing it from the // popups loadMenu { "ui/popup_errormessage.menu" } to get the links up and running. Somehow we'd have to exec this via lua but dunno if lua can see this, clutch isn't around to ask him so.
ReyalP we would need to create the same links you have in your mod menu, that take you out of the game and to your website. Can you tell us how that works ?
Obviously we are lacking technical skills and know how in order to get this done, but would like to do so. If you would like to put into this idea contact me @ bensoizf@yahoo.com ...thx
If anyone has a better idea bout how this could be done plz feel free to post.
We just want to resolve this 2.60b issue and get back to ET'in.
