We will also be requiring the implementation of ETANA2 on match servers. This second weekend of dustbowl will be optional, while the first weekend of cornfield on October 22 will be required. The files are not yet on our files page, but they can temporarily be found here:

Windows:
http://tfc.sta-league.org/files/etanaloader_mm.zip

Linux:
http://tfc.sta-league.org/files/etanaloader_mm_i386.tar.gz

Instructions:
http://tfc.sta-league.org/files/InstallInfo.txt

From what I can see it does nothing different than the version we're all playing under now. Is the current one being bypassed or what?

What's really happening is that all the admins just want to make you spend time doing something that really isn't necessary.

it supposedly is going to block some of the different ways that people used to get around etana

I truly have no idea what it does, but the 9v9 and 5v5 admins feel it necessary to implement, and so I'd rather keep it standard among all leagues to make it easier on server owners so they don't have to change it for every match.

what were they getting by? You can get _special unless using a hook, which will get by regardless. What else does it block? Clear explosions? Which again, there's a ahck out there for which can by pass it.

The only thing I can see it doing any good for, if possible, is the blocking of openGL.dll.

If it does that, I guess I'll have to kiss my coloured HUD goodbye.

You remind me of me - answering a legit question with sarcasm. Not a great quality for an admin, but hey I don't have time for it so thanks for donating yours.

Thank you sc/fong!

yeah, there were a bucnh of things that were easy to bypass with etana, now it should be more difficult. If you want PM me for specifics. Or check out the readme.
