Important! CDC Testing not allowed anymore.

There is now little need for TWL member to “test” CDC against private servers, It over flow our logs and we believe that some of this “testing” might be use to hack CDC.

We will now start checking all the logs that don’t look like TWL matches and issue small bans or drops in ladder position (for repeat offenders).


UPDATED

If you have a real need to test CDC against a server, you can test it on this server:

IP = 81.6.244.184
Port = 1716
Password = twl

Use Only Europe Backup 1 CDS server!

This is just for NEW members to do a quick test to see that the CDC system works on there PC.

Don't stay on the server for more than 2 minutes or so, thats fine to prove that the system works.

Please note: Your ping is not important for a successful test. The server is located in the UK, so players far away will ofcause have a bad ping, but thats not what you are testing.

After you have done 1 successful test you don't need to do anymore test otherwise I will start to wonder why...

Important this server is only for functional test of CDC, if anyone tried to test a cheat against it I will ban them.

A clarification regarding "testing" is in order perhaps. Test as in checking if it works with my system or test as in "lets install EH and see if it detects us". The first sounds like it should be ok since quite a few people have claimed problems with installing and running it. The second however is a clear try to bypass the CDC system and should obviously not be allowed.

exceptions from this "rule" must be made the days following a release of a new version of CDC. I assume many players (like me) want to be ready for matches in advance. Checking that a new CDC really work for me is one of my "tests" prior to a game.

If you have a real need to test CDC against a server, you can send me a mail (use “CDC test” as the subject) with your TWL AND AA ID’s and I will send you an AA server IP and password you can test against. I will check this server if others try to test without approval (so don’t pass IP/pw along to other squad members)!

Where does this information come from? I am just asking so that I can keep my team up to date on the requirements of the TWL.

Thnx

So once I download CDC, I can't test it? So I have to go into a match not knowing if I am going to have problems, and risk the chance of a forefit?

I'm gonna see what I can do about getting a special Test CD server for us to verify that whatever version of CDC works for us.

The truth is though, the logs are filled up with more "tests" than actual matches, which is an undo burden on an Admin trying to do his/her job, and uneeded traffic to the CD Server.

Roger that. Thanks for all your work man.

Hydra is spot on and Varga$ yes your right a single test to see if it "works" just after a new release is ok, but I still want it on a "deticated" AA/CDS server.

There should be no reason for anyone to "test" the current version (1.51) anymore it has now been out for a while. If you do, please follow the rules in the first post.

maybe you should add a readme to the cdc.zip with rules of cdc usage so there will be no mistakes, kind of hard geting banned over not reading one post on the twl-forum

Let me make sure if I understand this correctly. We're in a recruiting phase right now, so we're going to have a few new members. Now, it's my job to make sure they are prepared to use CDC with no glitches by match time. Only way to do this is by testing it. So I have to email you everytime to test it? Should I wait until we stop recruiting and send you a list of all their names? If it doesn't work for a certain person the first time they test it, do I have to email you for permission for them to test it a second time and for each additional time?

I'm not trying to be an ass, I just want to be clear.

I don't know what the number of tests is for a red flag to go up, but what if you have to connect several times before a match. A person trying trying to circumvent the system could also try during these high traffic times. How will you distinguish the honest person trying to connect versus the one "testing"? Obviously if you have this figured out, I dont want to know the answer...

This is nonsense. Blatant nonsense. If there cannot be enough servers provided, then ask the SCI crew to provide them. They should have more than enough for this purpose, no?

The 10thSFG guys should be able to provide a server perhaps.

But, as long as this system is required in this league, this clan will connect as often as needed, period. Any questions?

Um, ok....

The servers are provided for matches Kapeket. And what does SCI have to do with TWL... And what does 10thSFG have to do with this...lay off the pipe.

Honestly I must say saying we do not need to be testing just because its been out a bit is kinda foolish as im sure you should realize there are tons of new players or people just joining a team everday and these people need to test their systems so we dont come up to a match just to find out theres an error and end up hurting their team. Not to mention their is a new version out like every other day. As long as its gonna be required to use this program the teams need to be able to test it to make sure it is working for them to not llow this would be unfair for neteam with new members.....

I hope yall take no offense to this and wanted to let yall know I do appreciate al the work to give us a cheat free enviroment to play this kick arse game.

Must be a nub eh Purge?

For matches only. Wow. That might be a newsflash!

In any case, CDC users who test this system being punished is a laugher. That statement by itself means that the league or the system needs a remedy, not the end users.

A testserver would be great.
Then the rest of the servers could be applied with Shadows proposed new rule. All none-TWL activity should use this testserver. Great idea. Anyone got the hardware?

Kapaket, apparently your comprehension needs some work, that's why I felt the need to point out the obvious to you. Read Shadows' post again...S L O W L Y. It might help.

And I see that you didn't answer any of my questions either...not like I expected any...

A test server would be awsome if possible I could help to run one. I dont have an actual server but I have a awsome comp that is always on and I use it as a server for TS and a few other progs. Has a top speed DSL connection also. If you would consider it give me a holler and I would be glad to help in anyway possible. oh also has a static IP connection BTW.

P.S. Keep up the good work Hydra glad someone was smart enough to help clean up AA.

Thanks for the feedback guys, as you can see I have updated the "rules" with a test server.

I think when you read it slowly and a few times you will agree it's resonable.

After all it's there for your protection.
