Honestly, at the rate things are going, we should use OS's version-changer to make all of this exclusive to "1.09". A sort of "Community Revision".

To be honest, I would be afraid of a 1.09 version, especially without any autoupdate that would distribute it.
That being said, I am curious if there would be any way to somehow get servers to display two version numbers to Gamespy. I'm saying this because we can probably create a custom main menu which would change the version number when viewing a page, then you can click "Get List" and all 1.09 servers (tracking) would appear. Leaving that screen will revert to 1.08, and you'd get the full list, including those "1.09" servers. It would pretty much be a filter. Either that, or if there was a way to get Halo's browser to display servers from both 1.08 and 1.09.
I can volunteer a server for testing or whatever, other than that I can't really help out much.
I'm thinking we just need some way for Synapse-equipped servers to identify themselves as such and a custom menu that can display this information.
Make it so whenever sv_name is called to change the server name, it forces [SYNAPSE] as the first word.
That takes a lot of characters out of possible name lengths, unless we can filter it back out with some hacked scripting or something on a custom ui.map...Quote:

The little Halo means that the game currently running on the server is using a Classic gametype. Afaik the bitmap is built into map, just like every other bitmap. You would need to distribute a special ui.map to do it.Quote:

I think I'll just have "[KM00WASHERE]" prepended to the server name :downs:

And that doesn't even address the "we need a UI for Matchmaking, and I'd much prefer an actual in-game one" issue... Fun stuff =)
As I've lectured in the OS threads already, Open Sauce is not here to break compatibility or cause a reliance on specific data in a specific cache, which is what a custom ui would require. I don't want OS to become an overly complex codebase with all these crazy hacks which people have to try and understand so they don't fuck up what OS does already (causing stability problems, etc).
Not only that, but the HEK would have to be extended to support the new ui definitions and well...fuck that, I've freely supported this platform for far too long, and there are other issues which I need to work on to improve myself in other things.
EDIT: so give the ui additions a fucking break. thx.

So will the global ban list be more of a player feedback system like what gmod has?
Explain (I've never played gMod). The global ban list will be open to server admin-supplied proof of foul play. Server admins and bot-cops send in their proof that a player is cheating, it get shown to the public, debated by us, and if we rule that botting or excessive TKing has occurred, the CD key hash is added to the list and the thread is moved into another forum where an appeal may take place and further discussion put into the matter.Quote:

I'm not sure what the gmod feedback system is like, so I can't be the judge here.
However, I can say that if everything is implemented as planned, then it will rely on feedback, and it won't.
I'm hoping for a system where players will be able to file complaints against other players. If enough complaints for a player of a specific nature are received in a given timeframe, their profile will be silently flagged for investigation. For instance, is a player receives 50 complaints for aimbotting within 2 days, and videos AND GAME IDs are provided at submission of the complaint, then they will review the evidence and decide on a course of action. If no evidence is provided, then an investigation can be conducted where we might observe them in an actual game to gather evidence.
The system will absolutely not ban anyone automatically. The most it can possibly do is flag someone for review. It is up to the moderators to decide on the action necessary.
^^ Jcap is pretty much the end-all for the ban list. "Not my problem" after all, my job is programming Cerebrum, and the banlist is purely a managerial task.
e: Seems we've hit the "oh no, I'm good, I'll get banned because of it!" group of people on HaloMaps...
e: FAQs updated.
so are you going to get a staff of people that review and track down the filed players?
We may. We still have positions open on the dev team, which reminds me...Quote:

*sticky bump*
I'd like to announce that Cerebrum HQ will go live on July 5th...
... I'd like to, but instead I'm going to announce that our *prototype* Cerebrum will go live on that day. We're currently hard at work getting a smaller, less featured version of Cerebrum up and running, ready to receive stats from microSynapse. Right now, we have a rough mockup of the landing page, minus all of the features. In general, we're going for a mix of the Bungie home page and stats page, combining news with recent games. We hope that this layout will give our users the best experience when they first access a domain (which we still need to buy *cough cough*) and allow them to easily navigate to various points of interest.
Oh awesome! So we will be able to use it for the HCEL?
Yessir, this is specifically why I asked km00 to get me a lite version within that timeframe. I've got the next week to get things ready.Quote:

Just a background for the achievements/medals. Need more info to design each particular one.
I always work in large scale and then scale it down to specifications.

Don't have much on it, though.
I'd like to see some fun stuff with map specific stats. Pictures like the one in limited's sig.
Also I can't stop laughing at the halomaps kids hating on this.

Correct me if im wrong..But there is those dragonball icons(Dont remember how many kills you need to get or what sort)(Never played halo 3 for that matter)(And dont make me)(I will play it if you pay me)
The way I was planning to do the medals and "achievements" was like this:
Every action you do will give you some sort of metal, like in Halo 2/3. If you get a double kill, you'll have something. If you beat down, you'll have something. The metals will be shown in each game, and you might have an area that displays how many of each you get (maybe).
There will also be "achievements", though. These will mainly be what are displayed on your profile. So if you get, for example, 10 double kills in a game, then you'll get an achievement for that which will be reflected on your profile. Maybe there will be one for playing like 1000 games, or something for a 3.0 k/d ratio.
So we need both. Achievements can be creative (with names :p), but medals should be much like Halo 2/3.
On the topic of medals, depending on where we calculate them, we may have make a client-side application that creates an overlay and displays medals as you get them. This depends on us pushing the medal calculation into Synapse, though, and puts pressure on km00. Still working out how to reliably send the message to the client (probably going to have a **SERVER** message sent to just the given player, then our little third-party app will read the incoming chat looking for the right message). Anyway, just a little fun thing to make the experience more Halo 3-esque.
e: Also, made some progress on the Cerebrum landing page. Sometime this week I need to break it down to parts (header, footer, push the CSS into a separate file, etc.) and get the basic game viewer done. Hoping to have "Cerebrum Lite" up by the 5th.
Actually, I'd leave all medals to Cerebrum. We can modify, add, and remove medals that way. If we let Synapse do this, then we create a mess of things. Also, it creates a mess with the chat text.Quote:

So you're just wanting recreations of these kill medals, and all the other stuff original?
Edit:
Here's another

Also knowing what kind of stat tracking will be possible would be nice, because I'm not sure this one will be:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3514/shieldsh.png
For having your shields at less than 50% for 60 seconds.
Made it last night before going to bed at around 3 am.
Or make up our own ones?
Would it be possible to have a matchmaking (webpage based?) system for teams of people, like company of heroes or the console halo games(Do they have this?).
It would be quite nifty for people seeking to play another team of people, if it was active enough and such.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that, but if you are talking about a web page you can view that will list who you can play, then I highly doubt you'll see anything like that.
We can't do a matchmaking system like the kind you see in Halo 2/3 without an external app written which the client would have to run, and a server-side app for all the matchmaking-specific servers. There would also have to be an extensive backend setup for this. It could, in theory, happen, but it is such a long shot away. Also, it would probably have as many people searching for a match as you do with Halo 2 Vista. It's easier to just join a half full to almost filled server.
I was thinking something along the lines of an automatch system, using the -connect argument modification to direct players, or teams to a server.
I don't know how the fuck this shit works though so don't look at me :X
Alright, guys, made some more progress on Cerebrum, probably a good time to start working on the game viewer now...
@MrBig: We don't track shield status. It would be a bit too much for the dump file to handle.
@Sel: We have plans for a sort of matchmaking system, but it's rather complicated and won't happen until late in the year.
@Ducky: Most of the medals are easily identifiable, and we don't want to take that away by replacing things like Double Kill with a completely different icon. This extends to most of the other medals as well. We will still have some of our own, though, but most of them will be from Halo 2 / Halo 3.
@Jcap: I can see why having Cerebrum do it would be "better" in that respect, but I can offer one suggestion: we can write a "medal rules" file that can be propagated to Synapse servers. All of the medals can be descrbied by various criteria, and Synapse can just intrepret the rule file as such. Say, we have three types of medals: incident medals, spree medals, and multikill medals. Beyond that we have criteria like weapons, relative directions, time frames, etc. We can then recalculate once at Cerebrum to verify that the server didn't have a different ruleset (and even if it did, we don't care, we'll use ours). I just think that giving players a live view of their medals will enrich the experience.
surely Kill from the grave is possible?
Yes. We can determine that a kill occurred after a player died but before they spawned using our metrics.Quote:

Cool, how about this for a custom one... 'First Blood' :P just as a stat medal, records the first kill of the game. Then AvpDragon could make a cool custom medal :P
km00 is currently discussing the details of what he'll have ready for the HCEL tournament: "microSynapse" (my name) will be part of Yelo and just dump postgame stats. It will need to run client-side, so a ref will probably need to run it.
@Malloy: incident.type = kill; incident.countByType = 1;
now which servers do you think are most likely to run this?
anyways bacon i support this service as it will not only keep servers clean, but it will rekindle my liking for CE as it has been slowly dying as of late
Updated Todo List as of 6/29/2009
Listed in order of importance
- "Lite" Synapse dump for HCEL tournament
___ km00 says he'll have it in Yelo in time.
- Cerebrum Lite game viewer
___ Should have this done sometime this week.
- Synapse in OS-Dedi
___ While high on the list of importance, it's not going to be done until August.
- The rest of Cerebrum
- Medal icons
- Medal Rules interpreter for Cerebrum
- Account linking on Modacity
___ We need the complete hashing algorithm for CD keys, and we need to be able to do it in Javascript. < !!! If you can figure this out, HELP
- Medal Rules interpreter for Synapse
___ This is pretty much my job...
- Medal Client
___ All me here, just some simple DirectX overlays and chat hooks. e: And there's a wonderful little sample app floating around. e: And yet I still have absolutely no idea what I'm doing (the sample app didn't work) HALP!
Back when Halo 3 was in beta, I thought it would have been cool to have the announcer say to (it would be a local announcement) the first person to get a kill "First Blood!". I agree with this medal idea.Quote:

Edit: Ive forgotten what you can track for this stat collecting but can you track, say how many kills you got with a weapon equipped and if so, sniper rifle x 2 kills, one shot = 'Two birds' Medal ?
I go on holiday for a week and miss all the fun!
So, can I help out? :)
By the way, hashing algorithm is on GBX somewhere, I'd find it but I'm banned...I might be able to find it elsewhere though.
I think this is what he is talking about.Quote:

Alright, well here are all of the copies of the kill medals:

If you do an overlay, depending on how you do the DX hook, you'll break xfire and\or require Yelo to not be used. It can be done via Yelo of course, bitter and I used to load a custom semi-transparent image for when we did 3rd person recticles early in Yelo.
Can't it be done similar to the way Steam does their overlay? Theirs works fine with OS, unlike Xfire.
IDK how Steam does their overlay
This one be huge:

My favorite medal from Halo.
What others should I trace before moving on to original stuff?
Flag cap mb or the ninja one?
Since Halo 1 has the flamethrower, stick an 'incinerator' medal, also what about a 'spawnkill' medal which can be either appreciated or frowned upon :P
basically clock it so if a player is killed within 4 seconds after spawn the killer gets a medal.
Neither way worked for me...I tried decimal Digital PID hashed then reversed, decimal Digital PID reversed then hashed. I also tried hex Digital PID hashed then reversed and then hex digital PID reversed then hashed.Quote:

So.............
on the subject of medals, may i suggest a medal that shows how big of a pistol noob a person is? sorta like a sniper/sword spree, if they get 5 PISTOL kills in a row, i feel that this medal is warranted because 9 times out of 10 i get killed by the compact sniper
@Jcap When the game loads, do you mean when connecting to a server or when Halo itself loads up?
Medal award = 'God' or 'Total Eliteness'Quote:

And I was just going to suggest we use my trusted-server key authentication method...
Well yeah that would be easier.
One interesting thing, is after it reads the Digital Product ID, it loads the PID into EDI
Later, it uses Crypt API calls.Code:MOV EDI,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+4C]
Oooh
Hmm tastyCode:00582FA1 |. FF15 10F05D00 CALL DWORD PTR DS:[<&ADVAPI32.CryptCreat>; ADVAPI32.CryptCreateHash
But the server method makes so much more of a mess and takes more effort. Also, it doesn't give us the same security we'd have with the key.
Also, wtf happened to your screen name?
Well yes, but why do we have to have the ability to calculate a hash? So we can stop people being able to spoof? Can't we just log their cd hash?Quote:

Yeah, I want to show the hash to the user to give people the peace of mind that we're actually using what it generates, not the actual key. You're right, we might need to send the actual key and then calculate it on the server anyway because it's too easy to edit the field or edit the HTTP data. I did think of that, but I only mentioned it to Kornman and ShadowSpartan, I think. We'll just need to make it clear in the Terms of Service that the key is used solely for generating the hash - nothing else - and that the key is purged immediately after the hash is created.Quote:

@kornman00: This is the format I'd like to have the Yelo dump come in. If you need to remove anything or feel that you can add anything, let me know, as this is what I'm building my 'lite' game viewer off of. The reason for keeping various parts is that I want the format to be as close to the final as possible (hence "overallMetrics" being alone in the <players> block)

I've already got all of the Halo 3 weapons vectored, so it will be easy to make weapon specific medals.
Now is the when you should start saying "hey, that actually is starting to look like a game viewer". Style and formatting time!

I can't wait to see what this turns into its looking great. The stat's reminded me of Halo 2/3's post game carnage.
Also has it been covered how our CD Key's will be safe from yo ho hoers and their bottles of rum?
The CD key hash on a server is non-reversible. No worries, them h4xers can't get ur key.Quote:

In case you missed it on the last page...
Oh my.
Can it track team changes in the middle of a game?
Not the lite version, but we'll have the required information in the final version. (See: players->lifeMetrics->team)Quote:

How do you like this set up for the weapon medals?
We'd use them as achievements; I like them.
Holy shit, 10,000 flamethrower kills? Noone is ever going to get that.
Very interesting.
Now how about the covenant medals be purple ;)

Ya, I was think four achievements for each weapon.
The numbers I just put there, you guys can tell me the amounts you want.
I'll continue working on these tomorrow, and try out the purple to see if that looks good for cov weapons.
Busy playing UT3 tonight :)
What might be nice is different color achievements with different symbols or something on them for different "milestones." So, for the first 1000 kills with an assault rifle, you have a blue medal. For 5000 kills, you get a...dark blue medal. Then like 10000 would be gold, and 50,000 white/platinum.
Maybe the same colors as the multi kill medals, but obviously with a different amount of kills.
Alright, so you want something more along the lines of this? The covenant weapons only purple for the first level.

Awesome medals man =D!
Hah, that's sick! But it will take a fuck long time to get that last one! BUT I'LL DO IT! :D
Hopefully Halo CE wont die by then, lol.
I was thinking 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000. Let the first two be easy, then the rest will be a bit more difficult. Everyone should, after playing for a few months, be able to get the 10k on the AR and pistol, but not the other weapons.
Ok, I've changed them to 100, 500, 1000, and 10000.
I have the AR, magnum, sniper, flamethrower, shotgun, rocket, plasma rifle, plasma pistol, needler, a ? for custom weapons, and a hand for the beat down. I don't have the fuel rod gun, so I need a reference pic of that. Tell me if I forgot anything.
