Enemy Territory - Quake Wars

ETQWPro 0.6

by hannes-` • 22 Jul 2008, 01:14 • News
A few minutes ago I published the 0.6 Version of ETQWPro Mod.

This Mod merges Splashdamage's Competition Mod and the old version of ETQWPro.

The main goals were to keep vanilla commands and Competition Commands working. So all your Scripts from vanilla or compmod should also work in ETQWPro 0.6.
Also user experience was a high priority, so you will now get feedback on error messages and so on.

0.6 is also supporting its very own ranked server system. More Information on this will made public soon.

No more words from me, be sure to check the changelog here and the complete Cvar list here

Windows server admins: Be sure to check the changelog. There is some info about Windows server binaries

I do suggest using the installer, since it cleans up your system from any old ETQWPro binaries!

I don't but it's nice to see some development in a game that everybody hates just because it's not ET like. I don't think it's that bad to deserve so much bullshit :).
I'm in US now maybe I'll install it when I'll be back to ro an we play then :D.

why do you make people download an extra file simply to implement it with a useless mod?

nobody playing vanilla or compmod would know what a script is anyway ;)

qw will never work untill there are ALL those fucking vehicles and maps so big to keep all those fucking vehicles

understand it
▼
Pickelschwanz 22 Jul 2008, 18:48
its working fine for 24 teams in 6v6 cup and 32 teams in 4v4 cup. its mostly clean from cheaters and has a good comp mod with plenty of support. i would say its working.
Parent
▼
AM1G0 22 Jul 2008, 20:04
some teams are gone, some teams are new, so there is still almost the same number of teams. maybe it's better, no "heroes from nowhere" (cheaters), and you can know level of another clans
Parent

mtvm 23 Jul 2008, 12:16
w0o0o0ooooOOOOoooOOooW 24 teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pratically same teams of rtcw after 5 years :asd:




PS: I used to play qw since the gold. I am the first to say that the game is undervalued BUT also i am the first to say that the game is not born for 6on6.
It born for publics 12on12. People don't get this point.


The only maps 6on6 i can see are volcano and salvage. Rest is shit.









amen
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 23 Jul 2008, 12:28
It works fine for 6on6, thats why the use of deployables come into play to fill the gaps of people. I was worried about playing 6on6 in etqw I had no idea what to do about tacs etc, but as time went on we learn allot. Its alsmot impossible to win a Tank map without deployables. I understand what your saying all we need is a few more maps that are like Volcano and Salvage.

24 teams is not bad considering its 1.Summer time and 2.The community is small, but we need to make it grow more, it has been growing over the last few months. But we need to contiue the growth to make it worth while playing.

Maybe a team needs to be setup, to think of ideas on how to take the game forward? Get someone people togther to share there views etc. I know there are keen mappers out there and allot of people who play the game and would like it to grow. The only people who can take it forward are the players, we have got great support and help from the modders etc
Parent

mtvm 23 Jul 2008, 12:56
sorry i dont agree.

no cheaters cause the attention is not on this game.

And about the vehicles, deployables or not, they are too many (almost 1 for each player... ridicolous)


And where are those maps like volcano and salvage? they will never come cause this game was already killed by its creators & Activision.

Im determind to prove you and the rest of the etqw critics wrong
Parent

Deactivated5982 23 Jul 2008, 17:29
You cant really whine about vehicals due to the recent pro mod. Where the tank and heavy vehicals are still there and 1 may only be used at a time and when its destroyed you have a time limit to when you can use it again.

Also the heavy vehicals are quite easy to take down, be it with 1 cov and a rocket or just 1 fop with his arti. Granted an experianced tanker will be a pain in the ass but if a team pulls together and begins to focus on the vehicals you will rape em.

So you can have only 1 heavy ( cyclops, desicrator and tank ) 1 meduim ( Trojan and hog ) in play at any time. Sure you can have unlimitied amridillos, icy's and huskys but they are light vehicals for a reason.

Granted the game wasnt to great back in beta days or when it was first released but alot has changed since the pro mod has been released i suggest anyone who has the game install it again maybe watch some ETQW tv or just give some pro pub server a try and see what you think now.

you can always join #qwl.gather and type !propub to see the pro pub servers and how many players are there.

Quote by mtvmAnd about the vehicles, deployables or not, they are too many (almost 1 for each player... ridicolous)


lol that means you didn't play scrims/matches but only publics, not even on promod. You have only 1 anti-personnel/1 anti-vehicle/1 anti-artillery/1 artillery, but to have any of these you must have engineer in team. one engi=one deployable, so if u wanna have all turrets and shit you would have 3 engis, 1 fdop, but it isn't needed on maps. and always you must have ppl which will fight in closed areas (medics), 6 mines at team only also, so there isn't much spam if you have smart tactics, perhaps you're a counter-strike player?

no, it isn't enough. in gsl you're playing 5v5 that sux, and in esl you have 4v4 with mines, and drones that suck too. and now you have fast volcano, and salv in 4v4, more restrictions etc.

Chr1s 23 Jul 2008, 15:20
Saddly wont work I'm trying to make comp maps but no one willing to help that much in development of the maps thats why Meltdown was big can of fail when released, Maridia my next map maybe work out better as learned from mistakes but still not enough clan testing is happening cause none will spare the time to help.

I agree with what you propose but yeah can't see it happening.
Parent
▼
Pickelschwanz 23 Jul 2008, 17:26
Our clan will test any map you make, I can easily get a few other teams to test maps to. Anything else you need help with? Maridia will this be an Infantry Map or a tank map? Or a bit of both!?

We have a very good Mod support, its just getting the players off there arses. I don't want the work of Mod and map makers to be done in vain. Since quiting ET I really love playing etqw.

I do see more and more teams searchinng for wars on IRC just look at Hosted Summer cup for 6v6 and 4on4. 24 teams in 6v6 cup and 32 in 4v4 cup! Its summer time yet people are still willing to play. There are allot of low skilled teams out there which will make up the future of the game!

Even when you finally download all the shit in quake wars it comes up with bullshit error msgs that you cant join the server, even on several different servers, annoying.

Parent
▼
AM1G0 29 Jul 2008, 10:03
omg put your disk into drive :DD install the game, then you have to update it to 1.5 version, one way is to download the patch by browser and install it then, or download the patch by game, and install it from my documents/id software, when you installed patch then you're downloading etqwpro www.etqwpro.net and unpacking it to your installation directory so in installation directory you will have "etqwpro" folder its easy zomg mayb eyou dont have original game ];->

ETNiES 29 Jul 2008, 14:29
Iv done all that, Im talking about the stupid errors when you try to join a server, im not talking about how to install the fucking game, Iv had it install 2 times already before, I could probably get it working my point is the amount of effort it takes.
Parent

hannes-` 29 Jul 2008, 10:54
it is exactly the same procedur like in ET. Dont blame the software if its you that fails. And like in ET at the beginning, there are many servers running diffrent versions of mods. So you should be sure whats running on the server b4 connecting...

Herkstar 29 Jul 2008, 11:31

ETNiES 29 Jul 2008, 14:32
nothing got to do with me failing, I have the game installed, patches installed, promod installed and was joining promod servers. I read on the ETQW fourms ages ago that this was happening to a lot of people so no fail on me sorry.

hannes-` 29 Jul 2008, 15:22
jap so the 300 ppl (only on the ranked servers in the last 3 days) must cheat hack and whatever that they can join the server?

edit; wth it works

etqw doesnt "allow" any modified or tweaked drivers. Actually any driver from nv.com + a gfx card supporting ARB should be ok.
