[err_prot]ERROR: Protocol Mismatch

Im trying to make script that makes fake player in Enemy Territory, im having problems with connect.
I have used q3ts and my connect string is same as when i connect with ET client, but when i try to connect to real server, it gives error

Code:

[err_prot]ERROR: Protocol Mismatch Between Client and Server.The server you are attempting to join is running an incompatible version of the game.

My connect string is this

Code:

\xff\xff\xff\xffconnect "\\g_password\\none\\Ccl_guid\\*************************\\cl_wwwDownload\\1\\name\\Test\\rate\\25000\\snaps\\20\\cl_anonymous\\0\\cl_punkbuster\\1\\protocol\\84\\qport\\2059\\challenge\\(challenge from getchallenge)"

Any help here?

EDIT: And also it happends when i host my own server and try to enter there so i guess it has nothing to do with versions

mah, try to compare your connect string with the one generated by q3fill when you use the -v option.
then have you compressed the packet with the huffman algorithm?

no, that could be why i get this error. do other games use this algorithm too? just asking for some future stuff

the huffman compression on the "connect" packet is used on all the games based on the Quake 3 engine except some jurassik versions (Quake 3 1.1x if I'm not in error) and CoD4
