Day of great news!

This is a big journal!!

No idea at the moment, I suspect the SDK provides a means for these .def files to be compiled and they would then need to be distributed in some way.

But the point is this SDK presents 2 opportunities:-

1. Tweak a few settings, like restricting vehicles / deployables and you've arguably got a "pro mod" for ETQW, and therefore deserving the name "ETQWPro". I'm pretty sure at this stage that this is achievable by basically editing text files.

2. Alter source code and recompile binaries and you've got a proper mod, but does it then deserve to be considered "ETQWPro"?

ETPro was of course a source code recompilation of ETMain, but that's because ET didn't have ETQW's scripting capabilities, and the one thing ETPro never did (or at least was never used) was altering weapon mechanics.

On ET's release everyone argued that the MP40/Thomson had been nerfed, and demanded the rate of fire be changed. Bani resisted for a long, long time and when he finally did provide "b_wolfrof" no-one used it.

So, tweaks to the things that make ETQW bad for competition is one thing, re-working it into "some other" game or indeed "any" other game isn't a "pro mod" it's a total conversion, and shouldn't be called ETQWPro or marketed as such.

EDIT: I should just point out, I DON'T play ET:QW because I think it sucks as a comp game. I can speculate, like lots of other people, that if it didn't have vehicles / deployables, and had better guns, I'd like it a lot more, but then it wouldn't be ET:QW. I don't feel I have the right to say to people who play the game "although you play it and I don't I it should be changed to how I want it". My choice as someone who doesn't like the game is to not play it, not change it for those who do like it and do play it.

shall I linch here?
