ETe server/ded not compatible with ET:Legacy? clients

ensiform commented 3 years ago

Triggers CL_ParseServerMessage: Illegible server message 13 during connect with 2.60b or legacy client on our server.

Closing. Was related to lack of sv_pakNames.

Now only happens on ET:Legacy clients :thinking:

When ET:Legacy client initiates a download from an ete-ded server, it will trip in CL_CGameBinaryMessageReceived in a following scenario

Client doesn't have the mod installed which the server has (e.g. older version present locally compared to server)
Client hasn't loaded cgame vm yet (fresh boot into menu, so only ui vm is loaded)

https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/blob/985e61bec8ae7f972635b19e9233250bfd320f81/src/client/cl_cgame.c#L559-L572

ETe client will return here instead of throwing an error, and 2.60b just doesn't do any checks and does a VM_Call always. However the following scenario does not occur on etlded/2.60b ded, so it's reasonable to assume it's something specifically that ete-ded does differently, which causes this issue.

Probably can close this now so I am going to.
