Today, ClanBase announces fundamental changes to its GUID banning system.
Up until now, ClanBase simply listed GUID’s on the Cheaters page, alongside the player’s information. We relied heavily on manual GUID checks by admins to determine whether a certain GUID was in fact used by cheaters. This proved ineffective as GUID’s did indeed make their way back onto ClanBase.
Effective immediately, ClanBase's new system will deny banned GUID’s the opportunity to be (re)used in player's profiles.
When you enter a GUID into your player profile it will be checked against our database. If the GUID has been banned, it will not accept it and will request that you enter a new valid GUID.
This will directly combat returning cheaters being able to use their old GUID. It will have an immediate impact on ALL GUID-supported games.
At 00:00 CET tonight, ClanBase will import its ban list into the database.
Any account that currently has a banned GUID entered will have their GUID automatically removed and will have to enter a valid GUID.
We hope that this shows our determination within ClanBase Cheat & Abuse to make this a cleaner and safer site for all of our users.
Allied intelligence has learned of the existence of Operation "His Beard", a top secret project that the Axis top minds have been working on. If the Allied command could get there hands on the information contained within these files it would help them plan for a swifter and more decisive victory in the entire North Africa campaign. The Allies have put together a small strike force to attempt to break through the Axis defenses and steal the documents they are guarding. Needless to say, the Axis soldiers can not allow this to happen, and must defend the town at all costs.
This map has been updated and modified in order to provide some new gameplay dynamics.
First and foremost, the tank has been made indestructible in order to prevent the sometimes impossible task of escorting it to the town gates. The tents near the tunnel exit have been replaced by ruins.
An alternative route has been made that allows the allies to go around the main route. And of course, most obviously, the setting has been made into a night map.
Since I like the old RtCW loading screens I wanted to create a (kinda) similar one for ET in an old and dirty looking style without the ugly borders to make it more look like ONE part. So... here it is... :D ~#RoN.et'cl4ym4n?
The axis are complete dressed in black, but still good to differ (like the stock skins). Fits to all maps, equal if the scenario of the map is temperate, snow or desert.
We have had several reports that people are actively exploiting the download vulnerability that exists in et prior to 2.60b and ETTV prior to beta-10. This exploit allows that to download your server.cfg files (and thus obtain your passwords) and depending on your server configuration, may allow them to download other sensitive files outside of the et directory.
Anyone running a server with downloads enabled should update to 2.60b or the latest ettv.
you DO NOT have to update to the new etpro, or require the clients to update. Just update the server.
I always liked the look of the Venom Troopers in RtCW, so I decided to create a skinpack as hommage to RtCW and the countless hours of fun I had with this game in singleplayer and multiplayer.
UPDATE:sl.Binauralis the new contact person for EditSigns! (Translations SL) Please write only to him for requests! @Sonyfan
Because we want to shape our SL more international we need people who support us active. We mentioned this topic earlier, but it did got down 'somewhere'. Sorry for that. We are looking for translators for the world-wide spoken language Spanish and French. Further languages like Italian, Polish, Dutch and Finnish are also welcome as well as Japanese and Korean. We are completely cosmopolitan, but the language should be written fluent. The more languages we provide, the more international becomes the SL!
The translating itself is quite easy. No additional program is needed! Every Translator gets access to EditSigns. Via editor-pencil a text-part is translated very flexible. A translation-tool developed by proddi which allows everyone to translate the SL into the respective language will be therefor provided. It is integrated into the SL and will work self-explanatory.
Furthermore we want to arrange the newspart more vibrant. That means we want you to be instrumental in delivering content to the SL. In a manner of speaking the SL should customize to you, in place of you adapting to the SL. The ones who are interested can leave a personal touch to the SL. For the time being we are in need of newsscouts for the languages English, German and French. The news will be delivered through our forum and should deal about online-gaming. We will cross-read and unlock them and they should appear on the start-side. This experience is the one we are looking for, from sl.-user to sl.-user.
So if you are interested please send a little sample of text per PM to Sonyfan or per eMail to sonyfan(at)splatterladder(dot)com. Everything further, like details of how it works or what you will get and when it will start will be given then per eMail or PM.
