Guest Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 First time using ASE and IMO Gamespy spanks it. Gamespy version is free but with less features than the paid full version. ASE has a lame 21 day trial which must have ran out on me because it no longer shows any servers. Why not make a client to work with Gamespy. BTW why delete my post on ASE not showing any servers?
AnnRKey Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 (edited) You should've been able to say "I want to try for another 7 days" when the trial period was up... I've had no probs with ASE whatsoever. and you dont get the lame popups that gamespy has Edited August 21, 2003 by Guest
xerox Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 gamespy is spyware, and ase is smaller, and not a bad little program to use imo. We are not swappin to gamespy so there =P on a more serious note, ase is basically free, just do the above and click the try for 7 more days button. We also suggest we support such a great piece of programming by registering ase.
Mikiro Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 yeah I thought it was only like 10 or 20 dollors to get it registered. I like it a lot. I never use gayspy.. I mean gamespy. hate all those adds. seems like it takes to long to get to play a game with all that crap. ASE4Life!!!!!
Guest Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Well spyware is nothing. You can visit a simple website and get all kinds of that crap. Anyone have any idea why ASE stopped showing servers?
AnnRKey Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Check your filters.. i'm lookin at servers right now....
Guest Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 got it to show 21 servers after tinkering with the network settings. How many servers are you all bringing up? I was bringing up like 100 or something.
Guest Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I found the problem. A new firmware came out for my Linksys router and I updated it today. Well I got to thinking ASE worked fine before I updated so I went back to my other firmware and I get 80+ servers now. Seems there is a bug or something in the new firmware or ASE just doesnt like it. Owell the new firmware doesnt have any new features I'd use. Don't think it fixed anything important. Anyway sorry all for the trouble. Delete the post. Thanks
Asspalmer Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Gamespy sucks. Besides, i thought gaming companys had to pay them for them to support their game.
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted August 21, 2003 MTA Team Posted August 21, 2003 indeed, gamespy is not free to use for developers. We have been contacted by gamespy itself. Because we are a popumar mode they want us to support it. Talks are on there way and maybe one day we will support it
xerox Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Blokker - I would support any move to use Gamespy for filters IF we could still use ase and the team were preferably 'compensated' for using such a shitty program =)
SeBsZ Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Let's just stick with ASE for now and maybe one day MTA will support both and then everybody is happy.... ok?
Genexi2 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Why not have a built-in game lister in MTA in the future? I mean, I've tested some programmer's games and they had all the crap to list all games hosted for the particular game, and it didnt require the use of ASP or Gamespy, so it was pain-free to use. Only problem would be hostin' a server or something to keep track of the hosted games.....
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted August 22, 2003 MTA Team Posted August 22, 2003 server listing is being build, but not a top priority
KYFS Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 do u think in-game server listings will be in 0.2.5/0.3?
NiNjai Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Hard to believe someone prefers gamespy over ASE. As for the trial period.. ever heard of regedit?
Mercenary Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Yeah, regedit works wonders if you don't have internet. Oh wait, MTA requires internet, and so does ASE if you want updated servers. Short of running a firewall and blocking the port ASE uses to check the key you've managed to hack in, this does you zero good. Try again.
NiNjai Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Again, one straw short. I only suggested regedit. I never suggested what to do with it. If you delete.. the reg entry completely.. then it was never installed. Doesn't take a genious to figure that one out. I never would imply to 'hack' or alter ASE's key system.. that's illegal. Deleting reg keys on your machine however, isn't.
Guest Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Eventually once MTA gets going they could just program their own server browser.
