Sorry guys, R1CH said it's never going to happen because he states that linux is insecure for preventing cheats. Does anybody have a problem with this? Well, there is many, and since R1CH is accusing me of spreading lies and misinformation about him, I'll lay out everything right here.
- Did anybody ever read the Privacy agreement bundled with anticheat or are these things uncool to read and nobody reads them.
Quote from: anticheat.txt
2. PRIVACY The software may transmit personal information related to your computers operating environment. Such information is encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet using public key encryption technology, ensuring only the r1ch.net anticheat server is able to read it. Personal information may recorded in log files and saved on the server for future use. Your personal information is used primarily to generate a verification code which will either permit or deny you access to a game server based on the results of certain tests on the data. Unless outlined below, your personal information will never be shared with any 3rd party.
Personal information may include (but is not limited to) the following: open processes, loaded module list, username, presence of any specific files on the system, operating system version, loaded device drivers, window classnames, window titles, file versions, system file checksums, game file checksums. In addition, screenshots of the game environment may be transmitted. Screenshots may be shared with server administrators and publicly posted should they show anything suspicious that may be regarded as cheating.
- So basically this gives anticheat.dll carte blanche access to your entire filesystem, memory, for certain files. So if R1CH wants to know what kind of music you listen to or what websites you visit or full read access to your screenshot folder, this EULA gives him that right. Interpret that privacy disclaimer anyway you want, it's written word for word there, I wouldn't want to be accused of spreading misinfo again.
- Maybe some of you have seen the 'R1CH refuses to make anticheat for linux' as the hostname for the server with the most players this past week. They're not real players, most on there are 35 Eraser bots filling up slots. You won't see this server on q2servers.net or any master server R1CH has control of (been blacklisted by R1CH) but I have gotten word that ASE and Gamespy users are finding it, over 100 people have connected and R1 is totally raged over it.
- What sparked this, is R1CH's goons run the only gloom server in the Western Hemisphere at this time and R1CH thought it would be a good idea to make anticheat.dll manditory for everybody there.
- So who cares about this draconian disclaimer, punkbuster works the same way. Possibly, but it's either some no-name gaming corperation sending you spam or R1CH getting kicks out of spying on and harrassing with certain people he chooses AND DOES. Is he nice to you? Well have you ever heard the saying: 'somebody who is rude to the waiter but nice to you is not a nice person'? Tread carefully, you could be next.
- Do you think it's worth it to stop the 1/500 people cheating by running a binary that exludes other OS's but windows? It's just Quake ffs. He won't make AC for linux because then it would be possible to restrict permissions to not give his program unrestricted access to the entire system. "Anticheat.dll is a win32 binary compiled by R1CH. it's closed source. you think i'm going to run some kid's binary on my box?" 'nuff said.
- I'm glad the admins here at tastyspleen have some sense and still give the choice to people on whether to use a specific cheat prevention program, and still rely on common sense and demos instead to pass judgement. It shows that maybe TS will be around longer than Gloom which has been wittled away over the past few years just about to oblivion now. The main gloom server years ago was hit repeatedly by European DDOS kiddies who told me they hated R1CH and would make him pay etc.and the company hosting it went under and stole their box. Look at nocheat Q2ace and so forth and what happened. I hate seeing this happen yet again.
Ratti, BlunteD and 40CAL r the 3 nicks i know he is using. Ugly nicks, really.
lol, you think I'm Blunted?
Yes,u r BlunteD. He is a newb, and u r too.
I'm not Blunted, go away. He's east and I'm west. If people's aliases were any of your business to begin with, quadz would tell you the same thing. Now I get messages like this on irc because of your stupid assumptions.

For a game that depends more on skill, join one of the Tourney teamdm servers and do 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or whatever. Also with 2 servers, people are likely to just join the one that has more people so one fills up and the other remains empty.
What's this about. I play a match with somebody. I suspect something weird but I'm not going to go all OMFG BOT... no you suck I'm not... are/not/are etc. But after the match console sent an exec frkq2 thing and he disconnected. Here's the demo, you tell me.
it's better than mindless FFA where there's no strategy, and just finding the closest gun and shooting and hope you survive the spam for more than a few seconds. It's Sunday night, anybody comming?
*Idled here Sunday evening when people usually come and nothin. gg*
I found a sonic the hedgehog map that I like, unfortunately it's not for quake2, but it's for counterstrike:source of which I know nothing about. If nothing else, extracting the textures and remaking a map in quake2 would be good. I am having difficulty decompiling the map and obtaining the textures. It's in BSP format and a program called vmex decompiled it into a VMF file. My best guess is the textures are packed together in that file in the WAD format. The vmf format is far as I got. I need some guidance taking this the rest of the way.
For those who don't know what Drawn Together is, it's a TV show on comedy central. I made a map of the entire house. It's always been a work in progress. I'm constantly adding new things and testing and having fun with it. I made this map for gloom, but there are other mods out there too. I run Unlimited frags gloom server: 24.22.249.137:27910 the map is called dtnew7 if you want to download it. I made a fraps video of a short walkthrough of the house. Feedback please.
Maybe stick with XP. Vista is over-priced and mostly eye candy. However Wal-Mart is slashing the price on it. Here's their web site:
That's what everybody said about Windows XP. Microsoft motto: If it's not broke, fix it or update it until it is. What's wrong with running windows 2000 which does exactly the same thing but doesn't have the draconian activation and bloat? Everytime MS comes out with the latest and greatest piece of crap everybody has this urge to buy it because it's newer, just like it's predecessor 5 years ago. Newer != better.
You can buy laptops without an OS on them and customise the hardware, however you need to look farther than best-buy or walmart.
If you were dumb and already bought Vista, you're not stuck with it. You can return it to the store citing that you didn't agree to the user agreement that nobody reads.
smokeee changed name to BRA-SMOKE BRA-SMOKE took [SyN]Ratti's boot to the face anticheat BRA-SMOKE was kicked for anticheat violation BRA-SMOKE disconnected
