ETpro and Mac clients

RaistlinRTCW · Post by **RaistlinRTCW** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 2:50 pm

As a server admin who is finally able to play ET now since 2.60 it's available for the Mac, I do have a couple of questions that someone might be able to help with

1. by typing in cheaters a few people have accused me of using some hack cause for the version infomormation where it has win32 etc for other clients, it has ??? for macs, some think this means I cheat which is fine on my servers running linux but was wondering if this will be updated in later versions

2 Using a clanwar config on one of my servers so my clan can potentially compete in warleagues I've found that I get kicked because the md5 values are for pc's and linux binaries and not yet updated for Macs, but how would I even find out the md5 values so I can get them to update. Warleagues so dar haven't been able to help , so am trying various avenues for this one.

Any help anyone can suggest would be gratefully appreciated.

You get the MD5 checksum by running md5tool with the appropriate offset and length as given by the server config. (There's no OSX version of the tool, so you'll have to run it on a W32 or Linux box.)

Which file is it that gets you kicked, and could you post the relevant parts of the server config?
It's possible that the OS check in pb_sv_md5tool is incorrect, which would make this an Evenbalance issue.

i think its an evenbalance prob then since i dont expect many different mac files

as for the /cheater info i dunno i never saw an mac player i think

if it shows ??? thne i think there is no mac anti cheat code atm

The config is the warleagues and clanbase config, the md5 section is below

I get kicked for

md5 mismatch etmain/mp_bin.pk3 (len=2048)

The issue is indeed on Macs. I noticed that pbbans.com now recommends disabling MD5 checking on Macs until a new release of PB comes out.

So basically there is no solution for your problem unless Clanbase / GGL decide to alter the clanwar.config and leave out MD5 checking for Macintosh or until the PB client gets an update.

If clanbase mods their config and replace every entry where an "a" is (OS = all) with the corresponding l & w entries, this would solve the problem for Mac users.

Thanks at least there is a solution that would work, will test by altering my config file on the test server to check.

Thanks for everyones help,

Obviously you can't change the clanbase config, but perhaps you can make them aware of the situation. However, you can certainly fix it on a pub server.

Thanks alot for that.

Checking etpro-3_2_1.pk3 on a pub server will probably result in a number of false kicks because of the test versions with the same name.

The first 2k of a zip file doesn't necessarily change even if some of the files in it changes (as evident when looking at the MD5 for for 3.2.0 and 3.2.1), so there is very little protection added by checking this file.

Yes, it does kick because of the multiple versions.

RaistlinRTCW · Post by **RaistlinRTCW** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 3:02 am

Wasn't looking at it for a public, I have a clan server that I can test for excluding the mac files till they are availabl as most leagues at the moment still only ratify 3.2.0
