What packet do you have to send to continuum to trigger the use of null encryption (ie no encryption of packets) I'm trying to test something and i don't want to add encryption to the mix yet.
Im guessing the packet would be part of the login response in the core protocol.

solved this myself looking at the asss source

sending back the original key without change means no encryption, both to 1.34 and continuum |

Or, send the same key back, correct?

Because it won't do anyone a favor. Think of the cheating that is popping back up now, and think of what Twister did to Subspace. Now, with bots being as popular as they are now, think of what an unreliable client would be able to do.
Before Continuum came over, people were just popping out programs to filter SS traffic, so you'd skip certain weapon packets and what not. Some are doing that with Continuum even now, but they can't be completely sure that the packet they are skipping is a weapons packet. |

You're wrong. It would be a huge benefit. By creating widespread cheating once again (or at least the threat of it), we'd get PrittK back on the scene with a new client, which would be a huge benefit to this game.

Priit isn't available anymore. Having wide spread cheating won't bring him back. He has semi-told us that even with the current cheating going on, he won't (or may not be able to) do anything about Continuum anytime soon. |

Yet, one of the reasons for the switch, which mikethenoob was more than happy to over-iterate was how simple it would be to combat future cheating by easily changing the protocols.
While true, in essence, one simple thing that was forgotten is that only Priit has access to the source and only he may recompile a new batch, and so...all's for nothing.

| Actually i was experimenting with the directory server protocol which happens to by default use VIE encryption (why who knows) and i wanted to turn it off lol. |

In that case you should know not all dirservs allow encryption to be disabled.

| The server was not the problem in this case. Continuum was expecting encrypted data when i wanted to send it unencrypted data. |
