Server Support / Re: mods on servers

« on: Saturday, June 29, 2013, 03:08:08 AM »

I've verified that the Ultimate.u mod has a callback function built in, that caused the mode to stop functioning when the aamods.com domain was shut down.

However, I did not find such a function in the chatlogger, can anyone please verify if the chatlogger works or not? Run it without trying to have Ultimate running at the same time.

Any 25Assist update can trigger the replacement of ANY file within the Game Directory.

Sound like you are right then in suspecting local Router/Firewall

From what I can read from the code, there is no such option on the Dedicated Server.

Which one fails:
GAME PORT TEST FAILED
QUERY PORT TEST FAILED

One, Both or None?

think I found it...

25Assist uses a UDP Socket Write and catches it at the other end when the message sent is related to a variable "status" and "aa25ping"... direct extraction from the binary follows:

The items to note are udpqr (UDP Query) and what appears to be an embeded strings "status" and "aa25ping". This is the return I was watching when I was packet sniffing my server to see how the traffic was going back and forth...

A deeper investigation is now warranted, as my analysis potentially results in a mistake I made in my Linux guide relating to ports... I guess it's time to get onto Rev 1.

OIC!

BTW: I noticed that in the binary code above that there are two strings "10." and "192.168.", which are private IP's. 25Assist must parse out private network masks for some reason. Maybe to have a local server (LAN) or to circumvent the auth server??

ANYWAY, back on topic... per [SWISS]Merlin...

HEY Energy_NL, any progress?!?

No need to read the Binary to read the Assist Code:
We are at SourceForge, a bit outdated, but the functions you mention are the same:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aa25assist/files/?source=dlp

the private networks you mention are used to check that the packets come from local server(Org AA Server-binary)

Seems that the Original designer of the software forgot about the 172.16.0.0 /16 Network.

What are the feelings about having server running only on Windows or with both Windows/Linux.

I don't have any figures on the current distribution when it comes to Servers.
But Im guessing that we will have to use both OS's?

For me, that haven't played the original much, don't see the difference to Pipe.
I am almost religious in my feelings about Bridge Crossing, but can't see the point in the 100's of different versions of the Bridge out there.

Sure, it is easier to use an existing map as a start, and might be sufficient for starting out. In my opinion you will reach higher with an original design of the map.

I applaud your effort, and hope that you would continue to develop, we are here to help out as far as we can.. well I am at least.

Oh, a standalone would be fine. Once the packages are made, you can open anything in the 2.8 editor.

I would have an unpopular request if Assist does move to 2.8.5. It would be a perfect opportunity to rewrite some things and I think there's 2 things to be done that would help save the game and bring back the nostalgia for more people;
1. Disable tracking for servers on mods outside of Assist.
2. Disable tracking for crap unrealistic maps like PoolDay. That seems to be the map the stats whores & abusers like.

Only way for Assist to disable tracking for servers is by disable "honor", that is how I see it anyway.
Sure, it will be possible to build in checking for processes and such.. but it will lead to the same cat and mouse game that exists between cheaters and Anti-Cheaters..
One do a update, the other reacts, one always being the reactive one.. guess who we would be.

I'm not seeing how it would be done, perhaps we could have a model where we include all of the mods that exists for aa285, like the ones we have today, and if it's loaded, switch off honor. We would NOT chase around trying to detect 3:rd party mods.

I could do a standalone app that would enable an import of objects.
So far the work that I've done for 2.8.5 is converting UE2Runtime->AA285 for the Uscripts.

But as to modify the 2.8.5 Editor, I've been unable to figure out where exactly they "broke" it.

I'm guessing that it was done in the native part of AA.

So for the current maps to be available, Eliz would have to reverse engineer the converter to convert maps from 2.5 to 2.8.5 this time?

Yes.. It would be able to convert the 2.5 mAAp maps to 2.8.5 if the community demands it.
Perhaps we could convert the 4-5 most popular maps for the initial release, and then move the rest when it's convenient.

As mentioned poolday + the other 2.8.5 maps I converted a few months back would be already in 2.8.5

I've been able to modify 2.8.5 to download tours from the Assist Server instead of the dead armyops servers.

and yes.. I'm still on holiday.. 3 days left, I just could not stay away.

In a few hours I'll be offline for 3 weeks.

The topics so far..

Punkbuster
Battletracker
Linux/Mac
Hosting Home Server
DCDS
Keeping 25Assist for Mac/Linux Clients
Download Size of the Client

I'm sure there is more to be said on each of the topics, and please do.
Also feel free to voice your requests/concerns/questions here while I'm gone.

As I said, I'll be gone for 3 weeks, perhaps we'll have some kind of Community wide vote on if we proceed or not.

I promise you.. I will not think once about AA while sitting on the beach

I've given it some thought, and come to the conclusion that, to make 285Assist work with Battletracker.com we have to do this......

Nothing..

Since It is the Assist server that handles the Gamespy queries, not AA itself. We can let the Assist Server happily report that it's a 2.5.0 Server to Gamespy, rather than the 2.8.5 it really is.

In my testing, almost the first thing I did, was to modify the GS query to state it was a 2.8.5 server, I will from this moment just report it as a 2.5.0 server.

I've been able to modify AA to enable it to download tours.ini from our server instead of the dead dms1.americasarmy.com
