Support Requests / Re: Captcha for every PM?
« on: December 01, 2014, 02:48:25 PM »
Post count under which users must pass verification when sending personal messages = 5 now.

Do you think that should be reduced or disabled?

As i know, current config denies to delete your own topic, not post?
Topic deletion has been disabled because topic could contain others' answers.

Server.War2.ru / Account activation by email working?
« on: December 01, 2014, 05:06:48 AM »
There were several accounts have not been activated by email for several days.
We had to activate that accounts manually.

Did you just ignore the incoming email message or really had problems with them?
Did you also get incoming mail to inbox or to spam folder?
Let me know please.

Website & Forum Discussion / Re: Welcome to the new War2 Forum!
« on: December 01, 2014, 03:52:41 AM »
is it just me or the "new" icons are much less noticeable than a simple white/yellow thingy for the unread posts?
That's about this:
One thing I would like to see is when new posts are made they are more easy to see, like on the Occult forums they have the color orange next to the new posts that are unread, when I open a thread here that says "New" posts sure I could scroll all the way down to the bottom, but theres also the chance that there could have been multiple replys before that. So having it show you which posts are the new ones since the thread was last visited would be nice.
Looks like this engine has different logic to mark new messages. Still didn't find if it's possible to change it.
You can also click that orange "new" to jump to new posts.
I hope it's just a habit question...

You can use menu "Community" - "Old Forum" and "Community" - "New Forum" on server.war2.ru if you mean that.

Server.War2.ru / Showgame - check newly created games instantly
« on: November 30, 2014, 06:55:10 PM »
This is a project from war_mast3r.

Sorry for long time wait, just publishing it. Project has been released this summer.

Project connects to server.war2.ru socket to get messages about games being created.
Another side of that socket is connected to bnet logs.
That's why you can get info about created game with no delay.

The project has been written using QT, that's why it's unpacked size about 50 Mb. (15 Mb packed).
Any refactoring to reduce size or improve functionality is welcomed.

Program looks like alpha and delivers "as is". I'm not respondable for any possible problems, use it at your own risk.
But it looks working for me:
ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/showgame.rar

Server.War2.ru / server reconfiguration: versioncheck DEactivated
« on: November 30, 2014, 04:57:18 PM »
So, i have to switch versioncheck off.

1. i've just been modeled the problem with versioncheck and was not able to resolve it.
2. this way of fighting agaist cheaters is stupid. We have to block any way to cheat, not just to disable version which could be possibly easier to be caught cheating.
3. Several people definitely have unresolved problems with versioncheck. At least several germans.

Just edited the previous message, here's the old one:
Quote
So, skip_versioncheck is being set to false again.
That means, server will check your version while you join bnet.

That will touch at least the stealthbot clients.
You will not be able to join until you create W2BN folder inside your stealthbot folder and copy 3 files there:
- battle.snp
- storm.dll
- Warcraft II BNE.exe

That should not touch any versions of any other game clients: english, german, spanish or any other. 2.0.2.0 or 2.0.2.1
Let me know here if you have any problems with connecting bnet.

General Discussion / Re: How will we direct people to this forum?
« on: November 30, 2014, 04:41:55 PM »
I actually hope new people will join here themselves. They will see links to this forum there.
They should make their own choice to use this forum or no.
Axolotl planned to make a redirect from his forum, but he didn't answer, so we will wait for him and update this forum at the same time.
Now we have almost the whole active war2 community registered here, except maybe 3-5 contradictive users.
There's not many people posting something both there and here, but we have active core of users here on the new forum, and that's the best thing.

The most problem for the new empty forum is that's psychologically difficult to post on the empty forum, and this problem should be resolved soon. Most people just waiting and looking around this new unknown thing before coming.
But we have to handle both forums for a long time, we will see which one will be more active. Everything just begins.

Another important thing to say: I don't want to contradict the old forum: I should use both of them.
It's not easy for me sometimes, because i feel this one as something like my baby and requires all my care, but that's important thing: our main care is people, doesn't matter which forum do they use.

Server.War2.ru / Re: Your war2 could be disabled! Or 2.0.2.0 vs 2.0.2.1
« on: November 30, 2014, 03:51:42 PM »
That would be only 1-st step against hack, because they can still use it while not being catched, or puttying their gold mines on minimap before posting, but it could be a good 1-st step on this way.

Let me clarify you some point if you want please Il.

You need a cd key right, but any cd keys you find on google gonna work.
I was sure you need key to join official bnet server. I checked that - it let's to update even with the banned key.

I also checked german vesrion: it updates to 2.0.2.1 from both CD update and from official battle.net.
And 2.0.2.1 are the same for english and german.
Need to check if it's compatible with 2.0.2.0 replacing 2.0.2.1 for german, but looks like yes.

I also updated spanish version via battle.net, (using english CD because spanish version doesn't have legit CD) and got the same 2.0.2.1 version as for english and german.

So, the only ensglish version being updated to 2.0.2.0, others to 2.0.2.1

I repeat, by closing this client, we stop alot of probleme, Game crashing, latency, lag, hacking.

Peoples deserve to know everyone play with the same software, everyone deserve too know they play against a legit players.

I dont want to ask my mind everyday too think about if my ennemies hacks or not. Thats some kind of torture, i pretty hate that, i dont feel to play in that mind.

No reason to keep this clients, everything gonna be better after, everyone gonna know they have the same same chance and there really no cheat.
I understand that, that's why i think about to fix that as soon as i see there's not any reasons to keep different clients as is now.

Did you actually test it il?
Yes, tested it for english versions 2.0.2.0 and 2.0.2.1.
Let me test that for german and spanish versions also...

Server.War2.ru / Your war2 could be disabled! Or 2.0.2.0 vs 2.0.2.1
« on: November 30, 2014, 02:09:06 PM »
The question is which version do you use and was it any reason to use this file exactly?

Question for those who use the full or any custom version instead of combat.

How to check that:
Follow your war2 folder, right click "Warcraft II BNE.exe" and select properties. Then click Version. Your file version will be right there:


You will see mostly 1 of 2 options: 2.0.2.0 or 2.0.2.1
Version depends on the way to patch that:
Firstly you install Warcraft II from your CD, and then your patch it:
Option 1:
You join battle.bet, there you have no option to select gateway, only official battle.net:

Of course, you should have working cd-key. Then Battle.net forces your update:

Then you agree, bnet updates your version and forces game restart:

Now you have working 2.0.2.0 version you can use to play on any server include server.war2.ru
Option 2:
You run \UPDATES\WAR2PATC.EXE file from your CD and it forces your update:

Now you have working 2.0.2.1 version you can use to play on any server include server.war2.ru

So, what's the difference between 2.0.2.0 and 2.0.2.1?
Gameplay is almost the same for these 2 versions, except:
1. While being attacked, your army is blinking RED on the minimap for 2.0.2.0, and BLUE for 2.0.2.1.

2. 2.0.2.0 is compatible with several war2 utilities, like: war2insight, warlatency, warvideo, war2ppatcher, war2observe.
2.0.2.1 - probably not:


3. there's different reaction for maphack for 2.0.2.0 and 2.0.2.1:
I don't like to discuss cheating, but briefly:
Cheater can undo his maphack back on 2.0.2.1 after seing his opponents and can't do that on 2.0.2.0
(Thanks to Equinox for that point.)

And now the discussed problem:
As a part of cheatfighting, here's a plan to deny or limit 2.0.2.1 version on our server!
Does anybody know why 2.0.2.1 is better than 2.0.2.0 and we should not do it?
Maybe some ideas?
Here's about 50% of 2.0.2.1 clients now! Maybe you use it anywhere else server.war2.ru?
What to do with them?

General Discussion / Re: War2 Occult Forum Down?
« on: November 30, 2014, 01:57:01 PM »
Same. Nice to have another working forum here.
BTW, warcraft occult forum is really quite stable, that 500 error happens sometimes, but let's hope this forum will have at least the same uptime as warcraft occult for the same time. Of course we will do everything for 100% uptime here.

Maybe it can be about activity mesure but skills mesure i dont approve that.
Agree, not quite good measure for skill.

Thats why war2ru have to focus on league and tournament, because league and tournament really mean something.

Also im not gonna give alot of wins for my tournament, we talk about 50 wins per winner tournament.

And 100 wins when you got 1000 games and more is absolutly nothing.

If we can find more thing like this it will make peoples play more, and they gonna play more seriously and better to get their wins.
Hm, your idea is interesting, let's think about it. We are really need some motivation for tournaments, and that doesn't mean really $$$.
You can sell personal icon maybe?
I also thought about personal icons as a reward for something...
