Enemy Territory - Quake Wars

ET:QW Promod 0.03 Public Beta

by hannes-` • 10 Feb 2008, 01:07 • News
After the release of the ET:QW Promod 0.02 the modding team planned to wait for the SD competition mod to built their mod on the SD source code. Bad things delayed the SD mod and since CDC #4 is pretty near the Promod team started to finish the next release, 0.03.

And here it comes, the newest Promod version including new fireteam functions, a working spawnsystem and many more. After a week full of beta tests the version is ready to release and you can grab it here

You can test the mod on the following servers:
79.133.32.245:27733 Team SPEED-LINK ETQWPro 0.03 by FSHost.de
91.194.84.128:27744 Team TIER ETQWPro 0.03

We consider this to be the mod played on the CDC4 Lan in Enschede.

A Full Changelog is

0.03

- Fixed Screenshots being black at the end of the round
- Fixed a message Overflow (caused client crashes)
- Fixed spawn Select
- Fixed class selection (see later)
- Fixed ready Team (there may still be some issues)

alright, tried it out. a huge step for quakewars. if they would just make it feel a lot more smoother than what it is, it could be nice. though if this is used at cdc4, then need team for it! :XD
▼
S3ti 10 Feb 2008, 04:49
n1 and agree: QW needs smoother rendering

trigerek 10 Feb 2008, 04:56
+killable hog gunner
+smoothness (especialy ...)
+smarter spawntimes
+less spread @ assaultrifle (even scoped sux donkeyballs)
+a bit higher firerate @ lancetor (or maybe make it like 30 lancetor bullets do same damage as 40 assault rifle, it takes the same much time to shoot out those (30 & 40) and spread same for both.....aka little bit of unballancing but not to much)

-heavy vehicles (trojan, tank, desacrator, cyclop)
-mg/hyperblaster @ hogs/armandillos, but +regular lancetor/assault rifle (maybe a bit lower spread for 2nd, higher firerate for 1st)
-all fliers + kick in the head for all who are against


and plz just fock off my english skillz, it's almost 5 am guyz....

trigerek 10 Feb 2008, 16:48
i just don't want it to be like et - it should be better :D but cs-style spread is't rly thing i like in newer games.... oll of them are more like spray&prey than "become better aimer, kill more" :X

+those bangcockraping vehicles are just sad :X

and additional smoothness is always welcome.....

Skinner 10 Feb 2008, 16:55
It already is better then ET :P Thanks to those cool vehicles

its unsmooth experience for ET players who are used to great mod such as etpro and antilag that works. etqw is like playing on a shit polish server with 250 ping without antilag. with promod the ping is nice, but ure playing with 3rd world country pc that cant reach more than 10 fps, thats what the movement looks like.

SD are holding this game back again.....plz activision slap them! They really are bunch of amateurs
▼
Sainted 10 Feb 2008, 13:37
give them some slack its their first commercial game... and when there is something to blame Activision might be the cause as well

it would be nice if someone could paste a working spawnscript here, I tried everything, but it doesn't seem to work =(
▼
hannes-` 10 Feb 2008, 15:15
take your et's spawnscript

it should do perfectly well
Parent
▼
friokir 10 Feb 2008, 15:24
the vstr ones work aswell? for example "vstr spawnswitch" etc?
Parent
▼
hannes-` 10 Feb 2008, 15:27
vstr are supported in etqw, yes. maybe you need to adjust a bit here and there, but they are working
Parent
▼
cryptz 10 Feb 2008, 15:36
hey, just some questions.
what will be in the upcoming release (apart from SD comp mod)
and do you see pigmod and ETQW pro working together/share sources?
Parent

-what will be in the upcoming release (apart from SD comp mod)
tbd and tba

-and do you see pigmod and ETQW pro working together/share sources?

well that is not my decision tbh. im only a coder. And im not sure if the goal of those 2 mods are more or less the same. Yet I think it wouldnt be wrong, but also im not sure if this really needed!

But thats non of my business

open beta 1 was a pile of shit that ruined ETQW next to the demo and beta 2

you played it quite a lot and i didnt hear you complainin
Parent

rahula 10 Feb 2008, 23:14
i played it because i was playing closed beta at the same time and new the game had potential :) releasing the beta in the state it was in put 90% of the community off the game, hence it suffering so much damage
Parent
▼
Sainted 11 Feb 2008, 09:12
Yeah well I guess they should have foreseen people being retards and judging a game by a beta release.

On the topic of competitive mods I found this rather funny pigmod logo made by KaszpiR from the ET:QW community forums:

ETQWPro mod is the worst mod ever..

Gameplay changes? gtfo.
▼
friokir 12 Feb 2008, 02:33
worst mod ever that has former qw flamers say "holy shit" and most of the community welcomes with open hands?
Parent
▼
lightKuN 12 Feb 2008, 13:14
Wait a minute whilst the makers of promod appologise to you for spoiling your public play.

On a serious note, surely you can see that these gameplay changes are so much for the better. You aim at someone on vanilla and its luck whether you hit them or not. Pro is not totally, but more so about aim.

zenix 12 Feb 2008, 11:32
good features but its laggy and not smooth at all.
▼
lightKuN 12 Feb 2008, 13:13
It has absolutley no difference in lag compared to Quake Wars vanilla. If you get lag with your specs you have a problem.
Parent
▼
zenix 13 Feb 2008, 14:55
why my brother that has even a better pc has lag also? Its not the pc and not the internet, problem is the servers our the mod. I dont have any problems with ET:QW vanilla not laggy at all 125fps all the way.
