PORRA, Can't play anymore

[Pedro-NF]

I can't play ET, and I have tried everything. Help me fellas. I reinstalled everything, used patches, deactivated firewalls... etc etc. Nothing works.

This is what the bitchy console says:

recursive error 'Couldn't load scripts/krackhouse.shader' after: Game code(ui_mp_x86.dll) failed Pure Server check

...and that's like chinese to me.

It would have been so much easier if you had included that information in the PM you sent me, fag. KrackHouse is the name of a server which I believe no longer exists, but some other server where you've been playing must use one of their .pk3 files and downloaded it to your install. If you simply reinstall ET over, the installer (wisely) won't delete config files, the etkey file and your .pk3 files.

I went through all the trouble of running a search inside all .pk3 files used by the [>NF<] Server looking for files containing the word krackhouse in their names (.pk3 files are simply .zip files with another extension), and another search for the word krackhouse on ALL file types used by us (.pk3, .bin, .dll, .exe, etc.). No signs of krackhouse were found, meaning you've acquired this STD (Server Transmitted Disease) from a competitor.

Besides the [>NF<] Server maps - check their file names at http://www.noobsforever.net, at this moment there are exactly 91 custom maps - these are the only files that should be in your etmain directory:

campaigncycle.cfg
etkey
lmscycle.cfg
mp_bin.pk3
objectivecycle.cfg
pak0.pk3
pak1.pk3
pak2.pk3
punkbuster.cfg
qagame_mp_x86.dll
ui_mp_x86.dll
_nf_pack_20120130.pk3


None of these .cfg files are used for online play and you may delete them all. You might also have an autoexec.cfg file or another .cfg file that you created yourself (the ET installer does not create any .cfg files other than the ones listed above), and you may keep these files - the problem is most probably with a non-[>NF<] .pk3 file. So, DELETE EVERYTHING from etmain except the files above.

After you clean up your etmain directory, change the names of any mod directories you might have, including jaymod (just add an underline before their names). Then connect to the only server blessed by The Supreme Macho Spirit, the [>NF<] Server and let it download the jaymod files and any other files it needs.

The best way to connect to the [>NF<] Server is through a custom shortcut as described in this post.

right click ET - select properties - select compatibility - check mark the box allowing XP compatibility. besides what pedro said about krackhouse and what i already told you on FB, i have no idea how to fix your error for : scripts/krackhouse.shader

[Pedro-NF]

There's no need to use XP compatibility mode to run ET on 7Garbage. Actually, I'd advise against this, as it will probably make 7Garbage use its pathetically slow "XP mode" to run the game. Here is a screen of ET running on a 7GarbageUltimate64 VMWare virtual machine and connected to [>NF<] without any problems at all and at 125 FPS steady even on my humble GeForce GTS 450 (hail to NVIDIA) at any resolution.



VMWare is running on my XP 64 real machine - in other words, XP is effortlessly emulating a 7GarbageUltimate64 machine, which in turn is running ET.

It might be necessary to use compatibility mode on VistaTrash - never used that POS so I can't tell. What happened was, the duhmzdaih heretic betrayed The Sacred Emperor by playing on other servers and was duly punished by The Supreme Macho Spirit.

I didnt know duhmz used 7, i got the same error using vista and that was the only fix that worked for me

An error message mentioning "krackouse.shader"? I searched all ET executables and .dll's for the word "krackhouse", that word just does not exist in them, and neither as a part of the name of any file inside the .pk3 files used by the [>NF<] Server. Maybe you had the same evil .pk3 the heretic has.

Death to VistaTrash.

[Pedro-NF]

Fixed. Just deleted a couple of files and it worked . Thanx fellas, I love you all

The Sacred Emperor also loves you, so much that He is preparing a special punishment so that you can redeem yourself from your betrayal.
