MVDSV fixer version 1.2 has been released.

It now fixes demos with oversize messages which the MVDSV developers apparently now have decided to generate.

See the first post in this thread for the URLs.

if (size > 1450*2)
{
printf("Packet size %d is too large!\n", size);
printf("Please send this demo to bigfoot...\n";
return 0;
}

Oh man, soon u will have alot of such demos. Alias stripping will not help.
I expect you alredy have demo fixer v1.3 with splitting mvd packet in to few 1450ish packets ;]

I'm a lazy bugger too at times, and alias stripping worked for all the demos I was pointed to.

I indeed wanted to avoid having to split the thing into 1450 byte messages, and you'll also notice that I only implement the server commands which I actually encountered, hence the message in case it fails.

But indeed, if someone points me to a demo which produces the above error message, I'll fix it.

Is this behavior known to mvdsv devels? Is this intended behavior? Is this still recent for latest mvdsv version? I suppose this is another change in the undefined mvdsv protocol spec which breaks dead clients?

Can we try this one without the obligatory flaming? :-)

Nope. They are just trying to release demo fixers for the servers using snapshot software (not final release) I'm using on those four servers on my signature.

Ah ok.. so i guess it will be fixed in mvdsv soon? Since i have just realized that mvdsv has moved respositories this all makes a lot more sense - and i have thought development had ceased

They will be fixed at some point yes, and I will be updating servers quite soon after that. But keep in mind that these versions I use are almost 99,99% of the time only snapshots, nowhere near the release version (or if they are stable enough deurk might just flag one of them as "stable".
