@Minty another fairytale ? ... this will ONLY release/renew your IP address (DNS, routes and etc) dynamically assigned from DHCP to your local network interface (and probably from your home router). This is NOT connected with your MAC address. MAC is physical address (hexadecimal value) based on your interface vendor and serial number. There are ways how to change this but it's not 'clean' way because of the standard. Sure few programs can do it (for some reason), you can steal it, you can fake it, you can hide it, but it still bad idea if you dont know what and why you doing this!

Mostly it can be hidden by some type of firewall setting (on 2nd layer) or unwanted router settings. Also 'MAC clonning' on some routers are there for some reason but dont think so, thats current problem.

@ETPlayer But, want to think in different way - it can be hidden, when your ISP will use IPv6 with non-transparent nat/tunnel to IPv4 ... Do you have IPv6 address by default or you have IPv4 ?

 

 

 

@Eagle_cz It flushes your entire adapter settings. Mostly the cause of a 00 MAC address is a faulty network adapter or tinkering with it yourself. The flush will fix this by resetting the 'faulty' values and reapplying the correct MAC as it had always been. A 00 MAC address is not allowed by vendor standards so it has to be tinkered with. I never said it will give you a *new* MAC, it will restore your old, normal MAC.

Maybe ET_Beach, Frostbite aswell? Two popular maps with similar problems.

Alter the settings and get a valid max address. Server will auto kick you for having that kind of mac. Try to do what eagle said. I'm not sure whet other option are

You can just open Command Line and input "ipconfig /release" to remove the current settings and then "ipconfig /renew" to apply new settings. This will generally reset your MAC.

You can only obtain a MAC address like that by altering it yourself. Did you ever need to tweak your MAC for something?

Well the 18 / 26 spawn time is mainly based off of balance. If we can find a sweet spot in there like say 15/22 it may be better since it's not as drastic. Lining up the spawn times with each other like this makes it so you'll never be stuck in limbo for a long time since you have time to reposition etc.. I see where you're all coming from but just adding two seconds to both sides will keep giving the same problems: Synchronised spawns causes spawn killing, shorts spawns causes crowded objectives.

My opinion on this has always been that there has to be a slightly longer spawntime on both sides. Spawntimes are a big part of balancing in this game since defence always has a couple advantages. The heavy weapons don't bother me because it's part of the game and the players who use them usually don't know how to use them effectively. Plus in etpro they are usually used for spawn killing when in a positional advantage which isn't allowed.

Back to the spawn times, I feel like slightly longer spawntimes won't unbalance the game all that much, especially with higher numbers of players. Something like 26-defense   18-offense feels pretty good and not at all overdone, seeing as most maps have their game times at 25min anyway. It may also discourage more spawnkilling as accidental encounters won't be so common either. A lot of maps like Frostbite, Beach and Goldrush are made with spawnaccess for the allies since it's part of the objective. With low spawn timers it gives the allies an extra disadvantage on those maps because they can't use the spawnway anymore, even when they are already so Axis sided.

Hey guys!

I thought filling everyone in on the details every so often wouldn't be a bad idea so here goes.

@muddeh has officially joined the planning committee and will henceforth be forced to attend!

Currently we're looking into some Hostel places and maybe even budget hotels for those who would like to stay for the weekend. Don't worry, we'll try to keep everyone entertained throughout the night aswell!

Activities is a touchy subject right now because ofcourse, everyone has different tastes. Luckily it's Bruges so you can do just about anything there. We're planning on maybe having a couple rounds of Lasertag or Paintball to atleast stay in the ET mood. For those with different ideas there's a lot of things out there, and we're always open for suggestions!

Seeing as most of the people will be available only at the latest two weekends of August it looks like we'll get to choose between those two.

Don't forget to let us know if you will or will not come so we can arrange it faster! We'd like to see as many friendly faces there as possible.

Woah woah let's uh... Let's not cancel those just yet huh?

This timing seems off. @miraro3 Are you sure this is not a surprise birthday party for me?

I'll be there with some booze.

Who are you thinking about?  

He's thinking about me, doesn't want me around. 

We've been thinking about Bruges as the place to do this so far, as it is pretty convenient for everyone involved at the moment. If you do have any ideas or specifics don't be afraid to let us know. A lan party may just be too much but Bruges is a very cultural place after all!

For those people coming from far away places: you can always make a weekend of it in one of the best countries in the world!

@VenoM will come as well, but since he will be taking his bike here we will have to make sure he knows it quite some time before it actually is going to happen.

@VenoM Are you Jesus? Riding your bike across the ocean like a god.

@Minty can join as well. I've always wanted to have a Duvel with that guy.

Even when you realize that Jessica is a man?  

Yeah I'd be up for a meetup. But Bruges tho, I can do that on a weekend aswell, it's about an hour and a half of a drive.

There are certain PHP forum chat pre-builds that you can use, maybe temporarily while you search for a solution.

I liked chat, liked to AFK in it but to be fair it was empty most of the time.

While you're there, you should ask a local about a place called 'De Walletjes'.

It's a very popular and celebrated tourist attraction where you can catch syphilis.

I wonder if I can still just Rambo Medic or if I'll actually have to start trying again to get a higher rating..

Either way might weed out the XP whoring a little.

Studying did not make me happy today.

It's because we're unique Mint, deep inside you know that's true!

Ofcourse I know that, but others might get jealous of us.

I find it Ironic a Belgium man insulting french people... that is like insulting your self.... hahahahahahahahahahaa

 

We all know that Belgian's are French people. 

Most Belgian people have something against both the French and Dutch people. No idea why it's just how we work.

edit: i'm blind, nevermind. (rhymes son)

As for GPU cards it's okay but you can always go higher, AMD Radeon HD 6000 series are good and decently priced cards so look into that if you're looking to upgrade GPU.
