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:

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.

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?

Server.War2.ru / Let me know about any problems with vesrioncheck
« on: November 28, 2014, 09:09:52 AM »
I switched vesrioncheck on several days ago, then your stealthbot had to be updated:
You should make W2BN directory into your stealthbot and copy 3 files there:
battle.snp storm.dll "Warcraft II BNE.exe"
as described here: http://war2.warcraft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25511

Were there any other problems? Let me know that.
I have plans to switch vesrioncheck on permanently, so, let me know if you have any problems with any of your client versions.
