SlAppY Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I saw a thread discussing the end of PBBans support for Enemy Territory. If that's the case, how do I get access to the master player index? I understand ending the support, but i can't access the list anymore and that would be useful in administering a pub server. I contributed with server data for years, I miss that tool. Thanks Edited May 11, 2016 by SlAppY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benway Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Prerequisite for MPi access: streaming server(s) Use of MPi access for ET (in short: historical) : ET was removed from Master Player Index MPi due to numerous spoofing issues (guid / ip / server-spoofs / injected banable-violations / pb_server-hacks / fake-clients ... anything) 2011 -ish. Since then we handle all ET bans as Unofficial Bans solely. In other words, streamed data of legacy games (no more support, no updates/patches for known exploits) has to be rated less reliable, if not unreliable. To keep MPi as trustworthy as possible, we will not process data from said servers to be integrated into MPi database. it screws up MPi integrity via linked guid(s) feature, same was was done e.g. for BFp4f (bug: one IP for all players) ... endpoint of screwup was: every guid is linked with any guid, what renders MPi finally useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benway Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Danke. well, seems there has been some UMBi addition (click - SA (SLA? would make sense) or higher only) to MPi, but i cant spot a https://www.pbbans.com/forums/website-change-log-t197803.html entry?

HSMagnet Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 i think et was the genesis for uMBi MaydaX split et off because the data was not 100% do to the issues already mentioned iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
