Weird server.

Post by Kokiri » Mon Jan 27, 2014 3:33 pm

Has anybody been to the server called "TACTICALGLITCH"?
Why is it there? Why is there always 2 people in that server?

bit of a pointles thread, but ok il bite. tbh i dont know what it is, i tried to join it but i get the "you arent using the same wads as server" error.
the file extension of the additional file is also raher strange. (is .PKR even a supported file format? i havnt heared of it before.)

even more weird is, if i try to open the map in zan it says the map doesnt exist yet they are playing it o.O

*edit* i tried to open the file in slade3 and it give me nothing, even tried to change file extensions.
im starting to feel this is some personal server and they use a modified doom2.wad otherwise i have no explaination for it at all.

It's a top secret project I'm running. Essentially I have plugged in one of the Zandronum bots to this google God program that allows it to directly talk to you and have (stimulating) conversations on your subject of choice. You must be careful though, if you say really stupid things to it, the program stops responding and melts down and goes AFK for a very long time. This is responsible for many anomalies on my system. Please don't abuse, ty in advance.

Ok I was just kidding, I have no idea whats in that server but .pkr is a weird extension. I wonder if there's malicious ACS.

gues that explains something, also i discovered why i was unable to join the server, the file it downloads when joining the server is incorrect the correct one is on the glti.ch website.

I'm looking inside it at the moment, it's a complete mess and seems to contain most of the contents (all of the graphics, sprites, textures and sounds) of doom2 for some reason, despite being hosted with the IWAD. I don't see any compiled ACS lumps.

also worth mentioning is the fact that they suply you with a copy of
doom2.wad aswel within the GLTICH_WAN_PARPTY_MAPS.zip file they host on their website.

Or maybe, It's just one of those individual servers with the host having no goal in his mind whatsoever and one just happened to get attention.

Confirmed to be the case. Commercial IWAD (doom, doom2, hexen, etc) distribution is not allowed, thus the server has been blocked (hopefully). Until they rectify this and contact one of us about it, it will remain that way.

Hello all... thanks for taking an interest. We're really sorry about the mishap. It was a complete mistake. I think I have fixed it and removed all Doom2 sprites and textures etc. I have the server up again running this wad. If you could let me know if this is acceptable I'd be really grateful.

We want to get this running again so the public can join and it's not just two people hanging about all day :-)

Thanks for your help
