The PBGuid Authentication system has now gone active! Your profile has been updated and now allows you to enter your PBGuid, which is what is needed to be able to play on the Crossfire.nu Public.The system gets updated every 5 minutes so don't expect to be able to play right after you've entered your PBGuid. You will have to wait for at least one map change for the system to pick up newly entered PBGuids.
I've also added two commands for the console with which you can find out who's who on the server. By using /cfname X (where X is the playernumber) you will see who player X is on crossfire. In turn you can also use /cfnames to simply show this information for everyone on the server.
The HP-Left messages are still on by default (waiting on poll results till tomorrow). If you want to turn those off, use /showhpleft 0 in the console.
You can NOT change your PBGuid on each and every given moment. There are restrictions on how often you can change it and how long you have to be a member on crossfire.nu in order to be able to enter a guid.
PBGuid
- Member for at least 2 weeks
- Change allowed once per week
These periods are subject to change.
To find your PBGuid do the following in console
1. Join a server (your own server or a different open public)
2. /clear
3. /pb_myguid
4. /condump myguids.txt
5. /quit
6. Find the file "myguids.txt" in your ETPro folder.
7. Open the file and copy paste the PBguid to your crossfire profile.
BE SURE that you enter this correctly!!! if you make a mistake we will NOT change it for you so there is NO USE to pm either me or any other xfire admin about this!
HF on the Crossfire.nu Public! IP: 82.192.84.231:27930
Easiest way to get you keys, and you can copy paste them.
Your PBkey is not the same as the PBkey used by yawn online !!! Yawn online only uses 8 last symbols
/clear;pb_myguid;wait 100;condump "my_PB_guid.txt"
and find the my_PB_guid.txt in the etpro folder... (in case you dont have yawn installed)
mappool btw?
Radar
Braundorf_b4
Adlernest
sw_goldrush_te
Frostbite
imo special delivery is nice1, also crevasse, supply (>adlernest)
and yea, special delivery is a great map for a pub
1. Join server
2. /clear
3. /pb_myguid
4. /guids
5. /condump guidsnstuff
6. /quit
7. Enter guids
we need that system for competion servers aswell imo!
next map plz :)
ps luv u and drukn
Anyway ETPro GUID is worthless, so it would be idiotic to base this system on it.
nvm nu wel
Not that it is of any use I can think of right now anyway.
any ideas why ?
» Incorrect length for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory ETPro Guid - must be 40 characters long.
...
Well, i counted the characters, and there are 40 of them...
Edit: When i first entered only the pbguid, and then only the etpro guid it worked.. :)
i just need to wait 168 hours because i entered etproguid instead pbguid...gg.
random quote: (venue-taLa) you're just a hacker that wants me to change your GUID so you can go hack again
:o)
What I said was:
"As far as I'm concerned you're just a hacker that wants me to change your GUID to you can go hack again".
That's something different.
btw i entered my etproguid instead of pbguid before ronner posted that "how to take your pbguid" guide.
Telnet changed to the system yet?
telenet has not changed, they are waiting to see how it will work out before they will start using it.
Download link for the keeley sex tape if u can sort that
It would also be cool with a live-update on the site somewhere, so that you could see who was on right now :)
save this in the file tehguid.cfg
connect to server
type in console /exec tehguid.cfg
close console and press k
go to etpro, open 1.txt copy pb guid from there and paste here at 'edit profile'
nP
and how long is the pbguid?
pbguid only
the guid is is 33letters long and @ yawn its 8 letters (same with pb_plist)
PBGuids are 32 charactes long.. the ones you see on yawn are only the last 8 characters of someone's pbguid.
Ok, ppl should make accounts at their community sites, but it is the only way of preventing cheaters to flood the scene. Also it would be virtualy impossbile to become highskilled overnight as you wont have a history.
And while we are at it, force ppl to use yawn and register it to :P Die nicklamers! Die cheaters!
BUT if you wanted to play on servers like bio, locked box, efter, tele, etc you would need to have registered your nick.
IF you wanted to start playing competition, CB, one day cup etc you should need an account at xfire or any other community site.
Ppl who play once a week wont bother, ppl who play it everyday will register :P Whats the difference between registring at qnet or at ETkey? If this system would get adopted, I would never played unregistered hacking nobodies, or play on cheaters infested servers like Hirntot or S@do.
Currently someone gets banned, takes a new nick, changes their guids & carries on playing. Unless Crossfire was turned into a closed community (ie new people can't register) they'd just register on here again & carry on.
Still, I think it would decrease the number of cheaters..
Afaik, xfire blocks proxy's connecting to the site. At least kamz was spamming me all night because he couldnt connect to xfire. btw:
THE ALMIGHTY KAMZ NEEDED HELP TO INSTALL A FIREFOX PLUGIN
So bad you got banned kamz, we will missed you :'(
Most cheaters are short term ppl. For example they suck at ET, and instead of learning the game like we all do they choose the quick fix: use hax! I think having to wait a full month would get rid of a lot of cheaters :P
The money could be used for maintenance and as prize money for competitions.
I guess the best way to do this would be having a small program, which gives you the possibility to log in and enter your key.
When the player starts ET and wants to connect to a server, the program would intercept the ip of the server and send the account information (ingame nick, registered nick, key) to this server. The server would send this data to the master server (should be the most secure way), which checks the account informations and verifies the encrypted key (decrypt and check if the key exists and does belong to the given account). The master server would send his response to the game server, which could now let the player connect or not.
Anyway, if they buy another key, they'd be paying our prize money :>
I thought there are no checks for lua files (like certified configs, mapscript-hashes)?
even so, there are a few reasons it would be hard for leagues to adopt something like this. The main one is that the current etpro lua stuff can't directly talk to the network, so an external process is needed to distribute the GUID list. Getting this on every clans match server could be a problem.
- Member for at least 2 weeks

ETPro Guid
- Member for at least 1 week
- Change allowed once per day
Force ppl to upload their pbkey to xfire, one pb key is 67bytes and even if you have to save it in 4kb packages, 10000xfire users would amount to 40mb of pbkeys, shouldnt realy be a problem.
Dont allow ppl to delete their pbkey. sometimes you need to delete your pbkey, but you should be forced to put back the original key saved at crossfire.nu.
We should start using pbkey as real cdkeys. You cannot lose an original game key, neither can you lose your pbkey. You would be 'buying' the game by making an account on your local community site (xfire.be, et-center, telenet, etc) and keeping that account for one month (2 weeks is a bit fast, but maybe this is a must for ppl to accept this system)
or did i misunderstand something?
let's make this with CB/WL/etc
And imo other 'well-known' servers should use this database to avoid cheating
Overdrive is right - ET doesn't have normal key but how about starting use free key as a normal cdkey ? w/o it you wouldn't be allowed to connect to servers (maybe not those with 64 slots)
just enter main menu of et and then
/clear
/pb_myguid
/condump 1.txt
/quit
Helps to keep the random server hopping cheaters off...
if i add my guid now, and change my hdd next week, will it still work?
pbguid only changes when you delete your etkey (either by deleting it manually or reinstalling et or whatever)
