Title: windows binaries (2nd attempt) Post by: mewse on December 15, 2005, 01:59:30 AM http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~umkiddel/openarena-binaries-02.zip
from the readme: Hopefully these binaries and the accompanying source code will allow OpenArena to function without any sort of CD key checking, network authorization, or third-party game data restrictions. The master server has been set to dpmaster.deathmask.net to avoid using id Software's resources. As the changes from the stock Quake 3 code are minimal, only the affected files have been included in the archive. Changes: Version 0.2 - Dec 17, 2005 -- * Authorize server is now a null string in qcommon/qcommon.h * Master server is now "dpmaster.deathmask.net" in qcommon/qcommon.h * SV_GetChallenge() does not attempt to authorize if the auth server name is set to a null string in server/sv_client.c * SV_Ban_f is disabled with no auth server in server/sv_ccmds.c * SV_BanNum_f is disabled with no auth server in server/sv_ccmds.c * CL_CheckForResend() no longer calls CL_RequestAuthorization() in client/cl_main.c Version 0.1 - Dec 15, 2005 -- * Commented out calls to FS_SetRestrictions() in qcommon/files.c * Modified CL_CDKeyValidate() in client/cl_main.c to always return true [Edited on 12-17-2005 by mewse] Title: Post by: fromhell on December 15, 2005, 05:36:51 AM Heh what did you use to compile this with? Whatever you're using, it's not making any messages appear at the top of the screen (only in the console)
Title: Post by: mewse on December 15, 2005, 01:09:58 PM hmm.. i'm using visual c++ 6.
that *is* weird. i just re-downloaded and re-compiled the vanilla source code and it's doing the same thing. Title: Post by: mewse on December 16, 2005, 02:40:58 AM ok, i'm fairly sure it's a problem with VC6.
the notify area is drawn properly in debug mode, so i disabled code optimization in the release build but it still didn't work, so it might have to do with some code thats inside a #define _DEBUG_ or something, but it's not worth my time trying to actually fix it. i'm pirating visual studio 2005 as we speak. also, i noticed on quakesrc.org's forums the magical sv_strictauth var. once i get my new tools working i can probably put in that darkplaces master server and disable all communication with the auth server. doesn't seem like it will be difficult.

Actually, this is also clarified in steve's next blog post: http://www.stevestreeting.com/?p=181 Information about how to re-distribute vs2005 express stuff is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/nikolad/archive/2005/09/02/460368.aspx Ian |
