Thats what the programmer of gametracker does when someone uses the 128 slot version from Tuia. He DERANKS servers and declare them as fake!

Therefore I decided to create signatures for BF1942 which are replacing the gt signatures with direct join function for bf1942 protocoll for that serverbanner displaying servers OWN ranking if exists:

forget gametracker, this programmer there de-ranked every server using Tuia s 128 slot patch!
Use the community stuff created for you!


check:
http://master.bf1942.sk/ (25 servers enlisted !!)

or

http://www.qtracker.com/master-gamespy-hostfile.php


We got 32ppl atm and this is a nice result for the days after tomorrow !

@Lecter ... I´m afraight I can t share your point of view. It was Jazzy comming up with some bs regarding his filesharing keys here, not us (or me) ! And the topic was FILESHARING, not Hacking Lecter!  The rest I agree with you for sure....

Then you have enough Valid-CD-Key players to fill ten servers!?

And then there is Simple that has a NoKey-Server, and has a bf42 torrent with a Non-Valid-Generic-Key.

So much logic i cant even try and comprehend it all.


we run on new master server replacement by s[sk] on all servers.... there s no validation anymore by gamespy Bud. I dont expect you to show that logic, but you want to put yourself in scene here... then be welcome in the spotlight Bud!  ;o)

This is the wrong forum for your complaint Jazzy.
As I replied on your PM already please post your complaint in the complaint area of PFC!

http://www.pixel-fighter.com/modules.ph … wforum&f=7

Else
If you just want to create a simple "flame thread" here, go ahead!


You use generated keys from SS-Totenkoph, which got them from this exploit programmer Pwnzfaust from Bulgaria/Sophia, over the youtube video link "how to crash a battlefield 1942 server" (3 Keys / 5 Euros). 

Many ppl @ bfmods including Tuia worked hard to fix this bs, the Pwnzfaust his friend SS-Totenkoph were spreading out.

http://bfmods.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=1204


Lots of servers have been crashed with their youtube tutorial and they made money with these illegal keys, and you complain now that PFC bans those keys sold/spreaded out by these knuckleheads?

Anyway... this one key seems to be "clean", as I see Jazzy nearly everywhere inside the 1400 used nick names (after 10 mins of research in selaron):

131e255676954c730122aad97aeb435d

I take this one out of banlist, and the other keys PsychoDad tracked from you remain there where they should be at!

Thanks to PsychoDad filtering these burned keys!

#6 Re: BF1942 Discussion » How to get ingame server browser to work after May 31 » 2014-05-20 20:51:51

same here (PFC) for same reasons

1.) not commercial
2.) for BF 1942 only
3.) possibility to work together with s[sk] up get features on top to basic functions running

over the gs protocol he just manages the very root features which the bit complex protocol runs, which is totally enough for our purpose, but ability to extend this is a nice to have feature we won t have @ 333 or any other.


http://forgottenhope1.com/masterserver/

reads out all features of gs protocol.... and servers it is connected to.... atm some things are not implemented yet, but I guess they will be impemented by s[sk] as soon as time will pass by a bit.

the generated CD key is important to ALL BF 1942 servers which runs a ranking.......uniqueness of a player -> fingerprint even it s  a faked generated one !

Only over connection to the "official" master server there was a "controll" if key is fake or not.

To have a key in exe is usefull, so ppl can use ranking eventhough their key is "Not valid"....

noone cares about this issue..... but to get the game downloaded somewhere with new masterserver settings and where you can enter a faked/generated serial into registry ( origin version and cd version) is the challenge

It needs to be an independent setup which includes all features the community gathered togeher....

A new player has no infos about all that, and before he checks what he needs to do BF1942 is dead....

with the "new" replacement master server by s[sk] there s also no cd serial verification / origin serial verification anymore....which came along with the original masterserver.... (check luigi alumera s files about this)

basically you can enter 1234567890 in your registry value and it converts it to a fake cdkey.

nevertheless.... download source for the CD version (without entering the serial number in setup) or a rar file of the origin version would be helpful!  we all know that is solution would be NOT legal acc. to ea/origin terms of condition, but if you cant get the game anymore anywhere....what should we do then ?  Play BF4?

Good morning all comrades! crying tissue

The saddest news now because Battlefield 1942 is not available via Origin and also BF 2; BF 2142 are not available via Origin

I just have verified (checked) by going on Origin site. Example here in France:

Free games now I do not see Battlefield 1942 Twisted Evil Devil
https://www.origin.com/fr-fr/store/free-games

Demo now I do not see Battlefield 1942 Twisted Evil Devil
https://www.origin.com/fr-fr/store/shop/demos-trials

In "search" I wrote Battlefield, unfortunately no Battlefield 1942, No BF 2; NO BF 2142 Twisted Evil Devil
I see only that:
https://www.origin.com/fr-fr/store/brow … lefield#60

"Quel coup de Trafalgar"  Angry or Very Mad

I am very angry and disappointed. EA killed (has killed) Battlefield 1942 the father of all Battlefield games!

For me it is a kind of crime because Battlefield 1942 has many good Mods and many people worked and created Mods for 0 $ .

What shall we (do) for our young people now?

Where shall (could) we find Battlefield 1942 (legal version)?
Here for example: (note: I certify on my honor that I have not financial interest for "justforgamers" firm (entreprise)
http://www.justforgames.com/battlefield … 2x10432455
http://www.justforgames.com/battlefield … 2x10432300

Note: I know that in some East European countries special versions of Battlefield 1942 exist (for 0 RUB) but unfortunately these versions of Battlefield 1942 are not legal.

But I think now for the future is to create FH3 full free game on Cry Engine 3 , it is possible because our comrade BMV and some his friend are working on new version of Battlefield 1941. But what a very hard job and need more and more Free time!

These days are difficult for me because always and always bad news in May 2014.

Best regard and courage!

After confirmation of EA Games to shutdown BF 1942 online service on 30th of june 2014
we should go to ONE system all together.

Quote:"

The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy.  The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into these games almost as much as the customers playing them and it is hard to see one retired.  But as games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level -- typically fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles -- where it’s no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these games up and running.  We’re constantly working to keep our games and services available for as long as possible.

Replacement master list server:

We have a replacement master list server in the works, currently it is running in a test mode, sending only a small subset of servers (so when you test it, you can easily see you're using it instead of the official one).
Unfortunatly, redirecting your game to it requires an action on your side, the options being:

1. using modified .exe files

I've modified binaries to use master.b1942.sk instead of master.gamespy.com. These versions already contain other fixes like widescreen support, fix for freeze on dead master, etc. Please read included txt files.

CD version:
files/bf1942-v1.61-nocd-widescreen-gamespy-fix.zip

Origin version:
files/bf1942-v1.612-no-origin-widescreen-gamespy-fix.zip

2. changing IP of master.gamespy.com via hosts file

You can do this either automatically using our hosts patcher (files/bf1942_gamespy_patcher.exe) or manually by editing your hosts file.
The patcher should get the current replacement IP (by resolving master.bf1942.sk), check your hosts file and allow you to patch, unpatch or fix the ip if it was changed meanwhile.

You can also do this manually by editing your hosts file and adding line

109.71.69.254 master.gamespy.com

to it.

hosts file is located at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Desktop shortcuts:

We have prepared a small installer that will install shotcuts that allow you to connect to aX by one doubleclick.
Download it here: files/bf1942-ax.exe

Third party server browsers:

There are many tools that can get you connected to servers, options include X-Fire, QTracker, Gameranger, PFC Toolbox, etc.
This section will be expanded soon.

If you want to link this page, please use this url: http://forum.bf1942.sk/gamespy

Information for server owners (preliminary)

Replacement master server now supports dynamic server registration functionality. I currently don't suggest doing any changes to your production servers unless you want to help with testing (you can't have your server to report itself on both masters without non-trivial firewall rules).

Redirecting your server to report itself to the replacement server is similar to the client method, it's either done by editing hosts (see above, hosts file on linux systems is /etc/hosts) or by editing server binary and replacing master.gamespy.com with master.bf1942.sk with trailing zero byte (not recommended unless you know what you're doing). You need to restart server process for changes to take effect.
Modified server binaries will be available soon.

The current plan for the replacement master is to run in the test mode with small predefined subset and dynamic registrations allowed, then switch to full list obtained from official master in the last week of May. Entry expiration will be disabled at that time to provide some time for transition.

This is subject to change depending on how situation with Gamespy servers evolves.

Dear BF1942 Fan,

As you all have seen, we are no longer having highest score as a messure of rankleader. We want to promote TEAMPLAY and that's why we change to highest points as messure for rankleader.

To get points you have to act as a good teamplayer and make sure your team wins the battle and take out all objectives.

To get high POINTS you need to:

- REPAIR (others)

- HEAL (others)

- BE IN THE FRONTLINE

- MAKE SURE YOU HELP YOUR TEAM TO WIN

- MAKE SURE YOUR TEAM TAKES OUT or REPAIR OBJECTIVES on objective mode maps

For those who would like to calculate their gained score, teamwork is as easy as:

((attacks/rounds_played)*160)/10

+((otherrepairs/rounds_played)*40)/10

+((heals/rounds_played)*40)/10

+(kdrate*90)/7

+rounds_played

+(first/rounds_played)*30

+(second/rounds_played)*10

+third/rounds_played

-((tks/rounds_played)*60)/3

If you need any assistance with this formular, dont heasitate using a calculator ;o)


http://85.214.86.156/patches/ranking-lexus.xls

( you need a xml viewer to use this beauty!)

#23 Re: News and Announcements » SiMPLE | BF1942 [FRA] ranking system » 2013-08-07 22:05:21

correct !  The stats @ team-simple.org/stats  are extreme precise, and also extendable.


...something only the server hoster can deliver -> xml files.

the csv files which gametracker obtains over the port 23000 are the "minimum" values.

Best thing you can do is blocking their IP, so they can t use your basic server stats for their purpose.



Ask yourself what gametracker has for benefits to display your server .....


As more you collect, as more U are becomming a magnet, so ppl who would advertise -> game industry, teamspeak hosters pay money to them to get an advertisment there.

That s how it works... someone is making money with your informations without asking you.

Must be a reason why I wrote the live stat signature for all servers who can run 64+ ppl ;o)


Tuia can if he wanted to....

Own stats, own signature makes developers independant from these "multi rankers" with their advertisment and their Dollar faces ! cooking with same query parsers we do.

I believe now keyhashes got disabled from BF1942 server v1.612, because of the removal of their validation. They changed that part of the code, but were not able to fix keyhashes display, probably because the authentication code is obfuscated. It's just a speculation. I can replicate that with a few bytes change and s[sk] did the same when he patched BF1942 Linux server to v1.612. Anyway, this weekend I'll try to fix it.

tuia's latest Windows version 1.612 runs stable now on FH , cause we set the BF1942_w32ded.exe into 1.61 enviroment.

Other way around -> 1.612 enviroment the standard FH maps cause an endless loop after mapchange.

Means, using mods, use the 1.61 enviroment and simply replace the  BF1942_w32ded.exe  with tuia's latest 1.612 version.

ToDo's:   

Keyhashes are not being displayed in admin tool + brainpecker ( qr1 protocol based server viewers) / they are only logged in stats.xml (which is perfect for ranking etc)
Modded BFmanager + BFservermanager (both 2.01) are still announcing the v1.61 warning when running the modded 1.612 server exe.
It must be a kind of version control causing a warning in the BFmanager.log & connected clients.
Guess a check is there between servermanager &  BF1942_w32ded.exe. Maybe you can simply disable this issue ;o)

In general:  tuia's  windows server 1.612 runs stable on 1.61 environment, causing no trouble.

gj tuia ;o)
