KickType 4 - Bug or not allowed?

[TenSun]

Hey guys and gals,

I have just updated my UT with this package -->
http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/

And it works -so good- . OpenGL is really the way to go and it feels so much better than D3D. But I am not here for that.

I took the settings from this thread -->
http://www.9lives.be/forum/showthread.php?t=264439

But the server keeps kicking me . I get a KickType 4 error, but I would like to play on that server. Anything I have to change? I mean the OpenGL file is legal right :/ ...

This is the kick message, please let me know.




Thank you!

Not sure if it will make a difference but you have a few double entries in that opengl ini.I would remove them and then save the ini and see what happens.

The best way that I have found to get the correct list for the opengl file you want to use is to erase the complete list except for the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Save the ini.Then open UT and go to preferences.Edit anything under the opengl section.Usually refresh rate will do it.Once you close it out,close and reopen UT and go in a server and then close UT.When you recheck the ini,it should list everything under [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] for that renderer you are using.I have found that copy and pasting a different set of [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] in the one you are not using can cause some problems.....IE....you use utglr34 but have pasted one from utglr25 in there instead from someone elses ini.As the renderer has changed over each version,it has dropped some of the original settings used in the newer renderer from the older ones.
All the latest OPENGL renderers can be found HERE

I guess the server, you tried to play on, doesn't get any updates. The serveradmin should upgrade to the latest version.

Fordtech you are so right !

So I did this -->

Only using the relevant OpenGL settings and no double entries. UT works fine, but I still get kicked with the same reason. However on another server AnthChecker does allow me !

[~V~]

If you get kicked with the latest opengl try the one before. It's because anthchecker doesnt recognise the latest on that server.

[SoNY_scarface]

jsut email the admin and ask him/her to upgrade anthchecker cos its kicikin for a render device

[[0]Patte_the_Swede]

Or do as I do, use TNSe's d3d driver
No, to be honest, that server dont upgrade the graphicsdrivers as they come, because that opengl driver is completely fine, by anthrax, who makes the antchecker thingie.

And by writing "by anthrax", I mean he has cheched it, so it shouldnt be a problem.

[TenSun]

Omg pAtte ? It's me |BoD|marzzman, Marcel here mate !

Well these settings are really cool for me, I kept having mouse lag and framerate (way too fast) problems with D3D driver.

So if I can understand you correctly Anthrax has looked at this code and said it was ok? But is it kicking me on the code ... I don't think so tho mate. Cos it kicks me on the dll, not the .ini . So maybe the AnthChecker really does need to be updated a bit, else some people might get a problem on some war servers later on ...

I checked all the settings, they are correct and no double ones. But you guys recommend going back to 3.2 OpenGL instead of 3.4? But where can I find the old settings page, else I will maybe have non-working entries / probs.

Thnx a million lads

AnthChecker is just fine. Only the server you tried to play on is not updated with the latest version of it. Ask the admin to do it.

I do not know the admin his e-mail unfortunately :/ . I will try and get it !

[TenSun]

It looks like it is the server ... but it's weird -->



On the Quicknet iCTF server I get kicked by AnthChecker v.38 (build1) and on "Another UT Instagib Server" I do not get kicked by the same version

Inconsistency in Anth or a wrong server configuration? It happens all the time tho, so it's something solid. I have emailed the quicknet gamemaster, see what happens.

[SoNY_scarface]

thats because in one of the anthchecker config files it has kickforunknownrenderer=false and the other is set to true thats all put the server in ur favs and then look at server info to find admin email

On client-side AnthChecker always displays '(Build 1)', regardless to the build that the server uses. Only the serveradmin knows which build he actually uses (AnthChecker warns him in the server.log, though.)

That would really solve the problem, however it makes the server less secure. The best way is upgrading to the latest build, server-side.
