so... this game wont survive without it right, i´ve put up a more stable resource file mirror, point your cfg files to
*stay tuned for me to bother signing up for this forum*
(dedicated altitude page in the works... )
we are at the moment 2 hardcore fans trying to get a new working master server up and running, however without the actuall script lampster used we´re now using reverse engineering on the code, however neither one of us have any real java experience so we are trying to get help from someone that does, its fairly easy to do and when its complete, a new installer will be in the works. THERE WILL BE NO stealing nor removal of names or credits from the original creator "lampster". so dont bother ranting about it.
any help or suggestions about this would be appriciated.
for example, have anyone even tried to contact lampster about him giving out the script he used for the master server or was it a dead end?
more to come...
Pod & Bleep

me and dark and a number of other people had a fair stab at figuring that out a while ago, no harm in trying, but i'm not really sure what you can do about the matchmaker unless you get the source code...

well if anyone can get hold of some software to look at what ports are being used and try and intercept any packets altitude sends, you might be able to figure out how to re-create the master server, bit of a long shot really though!

well... this is a major milestone if we pull this off. We will look back and be proud that we did it. So, any volunteers to possibly be permanently instated into altitude history? We could call it the manhatten project or something cool like that.

we would need to intercept data from my server, and even still i dont think it will give us everything we need in terms of info.

I did lots of research on packet intercepting or remote ip address redirecting. But I was unable to find a software solution, you can redirect some routers but that is still tricky. Even then the only packet it sounds out is a "€". So I suggest we forget about the old matchmaker and make our own. I am working on an idea that would let me place my program over the altitude: pregame manager. That way it would be embeded over the manager itself. Then it would use a seporate game master list I would create and would use the manual ip address join. Hopefully it makes some sense from what I said here and I will let you know how my attempts go. Any ideas? email me at tiamatstudios(at)gmail(dot)com

hey guys, a new version of Altitude just went into beta with a new dedicated matchmaker -- so hopefully none of this will be necessary.
See other post for details.

This is SPY-3, I finally made an account.
For anyone interested I am still working on my solution to fix the old altitude. I do realize the New Beta one is out. But I was already half way done before it came out so I may as well finish! That and you can play the classic with the old maps when its done. I will keep you updated, if your interested or have any ideas to help email me at TiamatStudios(at)gmail(dot)com or you can send me a PM however I will check my emails more often then PM's.
