Revision 85

 

• Project "Synthesis". Basically, interoperability with the most common other IW4 client; 'alterRevolution'. The server won't let older IW4M clients join, and the client will have some issues with older IW4M servers, but an update will be forced sometime in the future, together with an updater. Lots of compatibility hacks are used to allow joining of alterRevolution servers and allowing alterRevolution clients to join IW4M servers.
   
  Let's hope this finally creates peace between the projects.
   
  Also included: libnp update which might cause some more stability regarding 'fetching rank and unlocks'.

I really don't get what you guys are complaining about. Now, there are no disadvantages to moving from aRev to IW4M. You get more maps, demos, mod menu, aCI ect. with the userbase of... aforementioned project.

Well finally I can play promod over 4d1

Almamu is horribly wrong. Firstly, there's normally no compatibility whatsoever; using the connect command wouldn't have worked at all. Secondly, IW4M servers running this version also send heartbeats to the master.alterrev.net server, so the 'other' clients do not need to be modified whatsoever to connect to IW4M servers.

There should be a setting to this, as server owners might not like when are their servers sending heartbeats to third party servers.

Oh, sorry. I didnt know that, thanks

im a bit lost .. this allows ppl from aRev to connect to 4D1 and 4D1 to connect to aRev .

am i right ?

Yup.

Can someone compile this? Because this is by far the most important step to go on with

Oh, and do we see their servers in our list?

and who from 4d1 is going to play on alterrev servers ???? i ques nobody

 

I beg to differ. I perfer 4D1's client for its features and stability, but its player base is lacking atm, however, most of the fun servers, and players are on Arev. I myself look forward to being able to use the 4D1 client to play on Arev servers.

Why?!

They're stealing 4D1. This is senseless. Sorry NTA, but this was a wrong decision (my opinion).

May create peace, but they may release it, however a lead admin told me they won't touch it.

Backing up iw4m.dll in case i don't enjoy playing on the aFag-servers :?

i actually don't see a bad thing about playing on arev servers whats the problem with it?

idd . i also thing aRev and 4D1 should work together :S

Please show me something they've made themselves. (I'm not starting a fight)

Agreed..

and why does that matter? they just wanted to provide a proper and free version of mw2, besides that they're not making any money with it so that means it's a non-profit organization so "stealing" is a invalid argument.

(I'm not starting a fight)

Well, it's starting, I suggest we stay on topic or request lock.

well first of all i just said that 4d1 and arev should work together because aRev has more players then 4D1, i think if 4d1 and arev work together i think there should be more players playing @ 4d1.

(im not aRev user , i dont even play on it )

But the problem is that the users at aRev steal the whole project.

Sorry for my lack of understanding this things, but how exactly does it work?

servers in serverlist with a green asterix are aRev servers. Joining them changes stuff on the client so to them it looks like a normal client is joining.

 

Joining a normal IW4M server changes everything back.

 

If an alterRev client joins an IW4M servers, everything would still work, except they would get spammed with DOWNLOAD 4D1, pretty much

 

Hehe i like u :roll:
