New ET Patch from IDSOFTWARE
Moderators: Forum moderators, developers
FWIW, servers should be able to update and work with the latest etpro (I only tested it very briefly, so there may be something I missed). If clients update, they will be kicked by etpro for integrity, regardless of which server version they connect to.
Updating servers is probably a good idea, since the directory traversal thing can have quite nasty consequences. The remapshader thing requires malicious serveradmins, which are a problem even without that exploit.
If you are using ETTV as your server executable, you may want to turn off sv_allowdownload. The patch readme suggests you can use www redirects with this off, but I'm pretty sure it disables both.

I would assume so, since clients who disable web downloads fall back to UDP.RoadKillPuppy wrote:You are correct....reyalp wrote:The patch readme suggests you can use www redirects with this off, but I'm pretty sure it disables both.
But is the server still vulnerable with sv_allowdownload 1 and www redirects?

is that "package" something like an rpm?tuxwarrior wrote:Hi,
are there any plans to release a new etpro for et-2.60b?
I ask because at least all gentoo-linux gamers are screwed now when they wanna play etpro as gentoo removed all et-versions prior to 2.60b from their package-repository.

You can also install et the "ordinary" way or just copy over installations ...

Hello,
Of course I could rewrite the 2.60 ebuild or even install the old package without the use of gentoo's package-manager but I doubt many gentoo users would do any of these steps. And I for myself will wait (patiently of course ) with playing until the new etpro is out.
Cheers

no, gentoo is a source based distribution which means normally every single package has to be compiled on the target machine (as long as the package is provided with sourcecode which can be compiled). Gentoo is using so called "ebuilds" for this which are some kind of bash-scripts that download, unpack, compile and install these packages. It's the same with et and etpro except for the compile-part which is not necessary for binary packages-=[VP]+arni+=- wrote:is that "package" something like an rpm?

It will be a few days until I get around to updating the required stuff. In the mean time, server adminstrators can use b_anticheat 0.

Nah, then I'd rather stick with good old buggy 2.60 . Besides, I'm waiting for ettv.x86.zinx wrote:server adminstrators can use b_anticheat 0.
Our servers now run on 64 bit steroids. Point your ET to:
- Forgotten Ground StopWatch Server with occasional wolfrof 1
- Fraggle Rock ETPub Server - Mix up ET/UT & Duke Nukem

- Fraggle Rock ETPub Server - Mix up ET/UT & Duke Nukem
Or you could just get the old et.x86 and run that when you want to play etpro.tuxwarrior wrote:Hello,
