thanks, i fixed the link.

[Luc@s]

Thanks to Drakas, we now have two more match servers which offer all the features available in the match client :

/connect tyr.woop.ac 3999
/connect tyr.woop.ac 4999

[Luc@s]

Important: once downloaded, you have to launch the game using the MatchClient shortcut, not "AssaultCube".

I get following error message, when i try to enter a server with the current map "spin" :

calcmapdims(): border violation ()

As an result the ac client is crashing.

[stef]

"spin" is a broken map. Bug the author for a corrected version.

[Luc@s]

this problem comes from the updates that were included in the development version of AC. It should be fixed if you are using the latest version of the client...
EDIT : actually i reverted the "fix" now you say it. stef post applies.

If you want to implement anticheat, implement it please with help of third side, there are some known anticheat systems. There is no need to close AC client and split the development. I am developer, take it as advice. ;)

There is no anticheat in the client, for the 1000th time...

[Alien]

So i don't understand why it is closed. Is it strategy how to test new AC client ? Or you want to protect server-side interface before you finish development ? It is mystery for me.

[Mousikos]

The match client is not an official AC client. It's a separate thing to use on woopies match system thingus. It's a woop project so woopies want to keep it a woop thing. Therefore it's closed.

[Alien]

So it is server-side interface. You need some secured mechanism with open client instead of closing it. Server side generated token with hashed logon information and time expiration isnt enough ? Or you can generate seperated token for each couple of request and response.

[Luc@s]

@Alien you have no idea what you are talking about. The source is closed because we don't want people to take one or few things from the code and that's it. We want people to try it until its completely finished.

By the way, many AC players use self compiled binaries, and you seem to trust them...

[Alien]

many AC players use self compiled binaries

Therefore everybody is paranoid. So many players were busted by jamz with using wrong client thanks one stupid mistake. So if there isnt/will not be additional interface or anticheat, i have read list of features again and i still dont get why it is secret. What from the list would affect current clan matches ?

 What from the list would affect current clan matches ?

What about the wallhack bit?

You can use cheats outside of ac code, no need to implement them in ac code. To be more precise, you shouldnt implement them, we have blacklist for such people.

[Padfoot]

I love the idea. I'm not quite so in love with the fact that I can't download either binary. Both result in an Access Denied.

Yes but cheats typically run the risk of being backdoored or containing other forms of malicious code.  At least with this one we have a bit of trust in the developers (or should, considering what they have contributed to AC).

Not working ?

Well... he is a *nix user anyway xD

[Padfoot]

Hmmmm...

Interesting...

Seems to not work at school, and only at school (the place I can conveniently download). Wonder why. Anyway, I'll find somewhere to download it.

[PhaNtom]

School filter running perhaps?

[Luc@s]

maybe the port 81 is filtered by your school yes.

[abyss]

I really liked using the client :D

[BaDMonkey]

This is awesome :D i hope this gets implemented into the actual game someday.

Good job Luc@s, you've got full support from me!
