I'm playing less of late.
TBH it's probably just where I'm up to right now, but regardless I find tk being admin 10x as offputting as van.

Server.War2.ru / Re: need to remove the currupt admin tk
« on: November 24, 2019, 05:32:36 AM »I can at least understand on a philosophical/principle level why people might be against banning Van for being so toxic, cancerous, and shitty for years.
What I can't understand is why anyone would defend or actually like the guy.
I found Ed Norton's comments on Tourette Syndrome to Conan a while back very interesting.
3:45 here..
Edward Norton Thinks Conan Has A Twitchy Energy - CONAN on TBS - YouTube
There's no excuses there, it's just interesting. Van seems to actually play better when he's spamming abuse, which is counterintuitive.

Dude that stuff is nasty. Don't say it. Once they get their rules sorted out I will absolutely support you getting vanned (lol real typo).... I mean banned... for saying that.
Lamb. I already said im not going to have discussions with you.
Yeah and I've already said that you're a power mad egotistical asshole.
I'm not really expecting a response, I just want to be seen to be publicly calling you out on your hypocritical bullshit. You are abusing your power to carry out a personal vendetta.

« on: November 19, 2019, 12:40:45 AM »We had a poll lambchops. Community overwhelmingly supported common sense consequences.
If someone wants to wright something up then by all means i wont stop them.. but in the thread with the poll there's plenty wrote there?
it was discussed. it was voted on. and now it's being implemented.
This was blid's proposed rule yeah?
Quote
Blid: Civil behavior is expected from players on this server. We will not hand down punishment lightly, but repeated complaints against a user can result in a temporary or permanent ban at the discretion of our administrators.
and you just banned an admin who outranks you? On what authority? Was it at "your discretion" that you get to ban other admins?
OMG ffs somebody de-op tk. This is beyond a joke.
not really in the mood to continue a discussion with you lambchops.. every word that comes out of your mouth is said with bias against me... not the type of discussion that will be very productive in my opinion. have a good night
I did not start with bias against you. When you were made admin I congratulated you and said that I thought you would do a good job. Congrats you proved me wrong by immediately turning into a power mad egotistical asshole.

Banned Warbux until @iL has some feedback on this situation.
You have no authority to ban warbux. He was made admin before you were and outranks you.
Somebody stop this power mad tool. Seriously who tf do you think you are?

@tk[as] You appear to be getting the cart before the horse.
There was a vote in another thread about updating the server rules/policy. I believe the motion was carried. Great! I agree with it.
Since then I have been waiting for some announcement as to the new official rules. There has been none. The SERVER RULES remain unchanged since 2015.
The rule you are banning van for still does not exist.
Would the server admins ( the real ones ) please make an official rule change, so we all know what it is.
I am happy to support anti-racism rules. I am not happy with "tk makes stuff up as he goes along depending on who he likes".

Glad you're having fun.
Server ping times are irrellevent. It's a p2p game, so in an 8 player game you have 56 different ping times to consider (yes they can be different from either end of the same connection). Also you need to be testing with UDP packets, ICMP is handled seperately by many servers.
You can find the address for the current chat text by following a couple of pointers, there is no need to inject code. I found that for tupac a while back when he made his color chat text thing.
If you want help making plugins I can advise you on how to adapt things to use the plugin framework.

I think you should def smoke some more meth, get really excited, come up with a whole bunch of complicated ideas then dissappear down a rabbit hole of failed attempts until you can't even find anyone willing to listen anymore.
or ... maybe
The game already interface has low/high/eh settings and all we really need to do is find the right point where people can still play without lag and pull peons/micro better.
But yeah definitely don't let me stop you from doing whatever you want to. Go for gold buddy

Can you modify your plugin so that ....
@GuyWhoKeepsMakingSmurfNames
Yeah probably, but I have stuff to do right now.
Thanks for testing/feedback.
In the meantime here's the plugin rebuilt with different latency settings between 1-9 you can test with and try to find a happy medium if you want.
We need to be careful that this doesn't further fragment the community. I'm sure the LA guys can probably play each other with pretty low lat, but having Russians in the game is already hard enough latency-wise.
I'm thinking even with it set to 9 it could still be problematic, but we don't know until we try.

Mods & Development / Re: Improving Warlat
« on: November 14, 2019, 08:35:41 AM »So? Nobody took a look at this? As far as I know the author of this thread tried to find the values for 1 hour, but didn't and then never looked at it again. Not sure whether it's possible or not.
Yeah a couple of people have directed me here recently.
The first thing I noticed is that this:
What Warlat does is write the following memory:
0x47862E - 0x90, 0x49, 0x90, 0x90
0x478632 - 0x89, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90
Is wrong.
Each set of 4 bytes is listed in reverse order, I assume because the OP did not understand the byte arrangement of dwords.
The bytes are consecutive so it actually writes:
0x47862E: 0x90, 0x90, 0x49, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x89
the 0x89 at the end is actually just the existing valu that is already there, so its just:
0x47862E: 0x90, 0x90, 0x49, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90, 0x90
and the 0x49 is a DEC ECX
the rest are just NOP (no operation) instructions which just remove these 2 instructions:
0047862E jbe short loc_47863B
00478630 mov ecx, 2
the DEC ECX is just a single byte opcode and there are no branch targets in the overwritten section so it can actually be at any point in the string of 0x90s, but if you included the 0x89 where it was originally listed you would definitely get a crash.
Change this:
0042111C MOV AL, BYTE PTR [EAX+4AE7EC]
To this:
0042111C MOV AL, 1
And you have no delay at all on bnet
Nice one, I never actually got around to looking for this bit.
The byte array at 0x4AE7EC has the granularity for the different game modes/speeds (3,4,4,5,6,7,9,12,19)
replacing at 0x42111C with:
0xB8,0x01,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x90
Will force the 1 value. This is actually a MOV EAX,1
Not that it really matters, but this is slightly faster than explicitly setting the AL register and means there is only one NOP instruction. The rest of eax is already zeroed by the proc at 0x4204D0 anyway.
If you didn't want to mess with the instructions ou could set values in the granularity array, but that works just as well.
That's if we want to use 1 ... might cause lag, but whatever value is desired it can be set in the second byte of the patch (currently 0x01).
Its weird I sent this to lambchops a few weeks back and all of the sudden there is activity in this thread......
Yeah ikr? Someone else just tagged me here and sent it to me on discord... cosmic.
Anyway if anyone wants to try it, just put the attached file in the plugin folder. It even makes the log on menus faster. Seems to work great, but we might have to dial it back a bit if there's lag in big games.

Server.War2.ru / Re: Does the community support the following rule:
« on: November 09, 2019, 07:23:34 PM »U got a ss wangs? Odd that u cant Vote.
Lamb - Map appears when you move mouse in game lobby. Disappear when you start typing in lobby chat
I can't vote either, but you can put me down for supporting supporting blid's rule and not supporting tk as being an appropriate person to administer it.
The map disappearing when you type was something that was happening in one of the first releases.
That allowed you to see the game name/pw if you wanted and nobody would really be studying the map and typing simultainiously, so I left it like that as an accidental "feature".
Later when I made the screen_update() hook procedure more efficient, it also stopped this effect. Personaly I preferred being able to see the game info, but hooking the in-game screen display should be as efficient as possible so I didn't worry about it.
If I was spending any time developing it I would probably add a hotkey to suppress the map display or something.
It appears iL has used an early version of LC.dll in the 4.5 release. If you want you can replace it with the current version (attached).

Server.War2.ru / Re: Amazed we do not have community support to permanently ban Van[z] from server.
« on: November 08, 2019, 01:06:51 AM »
I have long ago said my piece on this subject, and warned you all that the toxic environment would discourage new players and cause the decline of the community.
I was told that ru is a place for gangstas and if you don't like it go away. That is and always has been the status quo.
You can't just decide you don't like it and retroacively ban someone for breaking rules that did not exist.
I 100% agree that a lot of van's hate speech should be against the rules, but currently it isn't, and a LOT of people on this server have been enthusiastically encouraging him for years.
If you don't like van's behavior, then this conversation is should be about changing the server rules and policy, then AFTER that has been established you can talk about banning people who break them.
I fully support changing the server policy. So if you're serious, lets see some draft proposals.
