Combine all fixes into 1 binary

[Ni3ls]

Hi all,

I was looking for the best binaries for cod2 1.0. And I was wondering if somebody could combine all the patches into 1 super binary?

And last fix is about bruteforce so rcon cant be used.
From Aluigi
"The Quake 3 engine uses an anti-brute forcing mechanism which tells the
engine to process only one rcon command each half second, and it's not
important if a valid admin sends a valid rcon command because if it's
arrived after another invalid command send by another IP within the
same half-second, it will be dropped.

In short if an attacker sends more than 2 packets per second the RCON service
will become unavailable for the valid remote admin.
That's caused by an anti brute-forcing check which drops all the packets arrived
within half second from the previous one.

So with this binary, you should be able to have 64 menus, 128 slots and call to va() bug patched + localized strings and no rcon block. I have no idea how to do it with that Hexeditor.

There is a better solution to prevent having your rcon blocked.
https://github.com/kungfooman/libcod/commit/34ebce73280051df7e9339ed5149d062d7d36f6b

Also i am not sure it is wise to use 128 slots and i would recommend to test the 64 menus to verify it doesn't bug something else.
Edit: it hasn't been tested if slot #65 causes a segmentation fault.
Edit 2: Try filling your server with 64 bots and then connect to it. (+ post a screenshot here if it works )

Edit 3: this thread doesn't belong in libcod forum, but in /b/.

How to use that?

And I dont have a 128 slots binary. I can't find that data that is shown in the screenshots

It is already included in the latest libcod builds.

I apparently never released it. I think that was because 64 slots is enough for cod2 and more than 64 slots wouldn't be very stable.
