chi.quakeone.com incompatible with Qrack - help rook

[turtlevan]

ROok~! need help? 0h okay?

Chi.quakeone.com no longer accepts connections from Qrack clients (cheatfree?) so cool peeps with their luxurious texture packs like Naus & CD can't lose in DM any longer.

Any way for (Kathos or Rook) to fix this issue?

Thanks. can unban?

I was wondering about that myself....

u mean 2.01 or u mean Qrack in general cause your server uses cheatfree?

2,01 is still in beta, bugs hid in the cracks (no pun intended).
Use the client that works, cheatfree can be integrated into Qrack, but would require the server to verify.
Modified server modified client only so someone can use a dll or proxy-thread to falsify the bitstream

IMHO ultimately i wish everyone recorded the important matches, and thoght if everyday gaming as practice.
Cheating during practice means you will suxor on the weekend when we have clan matches (ideally).
Also recording demos, could be use for post processing to show demo features (ie projectile lines and radial aim variances).
I think of demos as the CSI of gameplay

I don't use Qrack. It's other folks with the issue, but I'd like for them to be able to connect with their favorite client so that we can have more players on the servers.

I've gotten used to Joequake and its my go-to client, connecting with joequake to chi.quakeone.com always gets a "cl_readfromserver" read error. What can be done so i can play on chi with Joequake?

qrack 1.90

just go back to the old qrack 1.90.. i have no problems connecting to chi.quakeone.com

[rabbit]

I'm using qrack 1.90 (build 2422). Before it would take me 1-2 tries to connect but now it's completely no dice.

[R00k]

Sounds like NAT fubar. I'll revert all back to the old method.

[kathos]

I haven't changed anything on the server that would prevent QRack from connecting anymore.

Kimp h4x0r'd.
This is all a part of Kimp's grand scheme to phase away Qrack, then Joequake, then Proquake. He will be releasing KimpQuake build 2.33.3 in 2012.

[Wolv]

Well, he's already on version 8.4.

[naustic]

That's odd, Kathos. I haven't been able to connect to your server for a while now, and I haven't changed anything either.

[Disco]

yeah i cant connect all the way either. It just connects and sits there. Doesnt do all the handshaking. Im using wrack 1.85

[R00k]

I've looked thru the code, thinking my latest build where i cleaned up the NAT fix was the prob, and it wasnt. Then I went to 1.90, no go, 1.85, nope, 1.80, nope. So unless you are setting pq_cheatfree 1 in the server cfg, I'm not sure why we cant connect yet I can connect to all other ProQuake servers, ie all the HDZ servers...hmmm.

Edit:
I successfully connected to quake.crmod.com:26001 without any problems, so it's not a PQ/CRMOD issue.

Actually, nothing but ProQuake will get past the connection accepted. I suspect cheatfree.

(JR, Qrack 2.010 feels more like 1.85 than 1.90 now that the enhanced pointer issues have been solved.)

I tried again today, and I was unsuccessful. I'm using QRack 2.01 Build 2878 to connect, but when I type in connect chi.quake.com, it would say connected, but it would sit there until it times out. I tried this over and over, but unsuccessful.

I can connect fine to other servers. Any ideas?
