UPDATE: Issue has been resolved, newest version of NOTAlobby will not be blocked. Please update. -@KingRaptor

NOTA lobby is going to be blocked in 3 days (non compliance with lobby protocol). Because lobby information is cached for up to 3 days please stop using it now.

Thank you.

Would you not just be able to switch lobby in 3 days or does it block your spring account or something? And when you say "non compliance with lobby protocol" you mean the GPL violation?

FYI: The NOTAlobby blockage by ZK has nothing to do with the licensing issue (which has reportedly been resolved, at any rate); it's because NL refuses to transmit lobby ID as required by lobby protocol, making it easier to circumvent bans.

That's a shame.

NOTALobby is by far the nicest looking and most feature complete Spring lobby.

How will this affect people who play both ZK and NOTA? Is the lobby just going to be blocked from ZK autohosts, or will the user get blocked by ZK autohosts if it detects him logging in with NOTALobby? Or am I missing it completely and something else is going to happen?

I thought nota lobby was blocked because PepeAmphere broke the gpl liscense agreement and made it proprietary...

[I]amNot[null]Bla1 No, it is (sort of) reson why they have been blocked on Spring forum.

You shall not speak of Notta lobby there (also dont try to mention Spring MT).

KR says that resolved. The issue has to do with Smurfs circumventing bans.

[AOF]AgentE382: If you use NOTA lobby once, it will remember that you did for 3 days, and you won't be able to play zero-k for 3 days.

If notalobby refuses to send lobby ID how do you know who is using it? (since you need to know who is using it in order to block it)
Then, since you know who is using notlaobby because otherwise you wouldn't be able to block it, there is no need to block it..
I'm confused...

Also, wouldn't it be better to just make the server ignore lobbies which are not in some kind of allowed lobbies list?

i am curious about this too

btw, if its just the LOGIN argument, maybe we could edit the binary with some hex editor and add the lobby info to the string?

the Arch-Troll sits down on an alien beach of a planet far far away, and questions...

"How will this stop the emergence of trolls using other lobbies?"

then the Arch-Troll laughs at the foolish mortals...

by the way: i spent yesterday smurfing using ZK lobby, total undetected... oh the evil!
