Wolfpro Public Beta is here

by hannes-` • 26 Aug 2009, 08:26 • News

Hi there,

like promised the private beta is now public! We had to fix a few minor issues and added some new features like:

Objective wont be visible to the enemies through walls anymore
Reworked revive so that you have instant revive, but you will have to be closer to the one you revive (yes we listen, see!)
Nades wont fly over the whole map anymore, still they will fly further than the retail patch
HUD has been reworked, thanks to crumbs for the feedback
Respawn times had been reworked (thanks to the forums and irc spam)
Added some kind of cvar "hack" (read readme) to make it easier to change / test spawntimes
Added proper reload sounds for the weapons if you are in drawgun 0 mode
Fixed most leaf animation (this was broken in the beta)

the rest can be found in the changelog here: [ChangeLog] Wolfpro 0.1 Beta

mh shrapmod or wolfpro? ;D

i am pretty sure leagues are using wolfpro

Parent

Even tho wolfpro looks atm worse compared to shrapmod :|

Parent

maybe for et players. tho they are a small minority

Parent

wolfpro includes shooting while sprinting?

"maybe for et players. tho they are a small minority "

In what way do you mean ET players are a minority?

Stats from 9pm on a wednesday:

ET
http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=statistic
real players / bots 5,828 / (4,730)
active players (last 14 days): 211,358

ETQW
http://etqw.splatterladder.com/?mod=statistic
real players / bots 553 / (696)
active players (last 14 days): 19,936

10x more real active players than ETQW isnt a minority.

Parent

and about 5% of all wolf players are et players.

btw, up for a game bf2? we are one men less

Parent

ah ok. Well its your guess, and not a fact so to speak, so its a bit strong to say ET players are a minority before one have checked what gaming background the other Wolf PC users have. If 5% is from game X, 20% from game Y, 30% from game Z, etc, then it might turnout ET players is not a minority in Wolf MP PC.
My guess is a bit higher than yours of 5%. Mine would be atleast 20% of the Wolf PC users have played ET or RTCW and liked it a lot.

About BF2: kk. I take "BF2 lovers" back. "ETQW lovers" is still enough as an argument from my point of view in terms of personal preferences of gameplay / gamestyle.

An interesting thought I have is, if there would be a new "ET2" or "Wolf3" / "RTCW3" game in the future, where the game was like CS:S, aka same game but newer graphics. As a gamer with ET background as you say you are, would you then be interested in making a comp mod for such a game? Or does ET & RTCW gameplay completely bore you?
My guess you are bored sick of ET and RTCW gameplay, since you appreciate the big differences in ETQW for example.

Parent

i only say so much: i play since 4 years ET. We just don think we need another carbon copy, and from the feedback we get, we are on the right way.

just stop whining on me with this, you wont change it. And tbh, you should really consider sticking with ET, i cant see you have fun in any other game.

Looking forward to have this discussion with you on brink again, oh wait, maybe not so much.

Parent

Dodging my question.

Are you bored sick with ET & RTCW or not?

Parent

would i still be playing it if i'd be bored of it. read better next time!

Parent

K. So you think ET with better graphics is a bad thing?

To make a comparison: You think CS:S (CS with better graphics) is a bad thing?

Would you say, ET players would be happy if they got a ET game with better graphics?
How many would in procent of the ET players would be happy?
I'd say 90-99%.

Hope come, that you, that with dislike for the concept of ET with better graphics is making mods for this genre?

For ETQW you could say ETQW was a genre of it own.
But for Wolfenstein, I'd say you are against the will of big majority of ET players.

Why make mod for a game, where you have the chance to help people get a ET with better graphics-game, when you have no such wish to do that.

To me it seems you are making a mod, for your personal modmakeing-merits.

You are not doing this mod for the RTCW and ET players, are you?

Parent

one simple and hopefully last answer to this topic:

Wolfenstein is NEITHER rtcw nor ET. just get it now.

Parent

Answer the questions please.

Parent

For those who didn't see what you posted before your edit:

"Wow you are just as stupid as all other ETQW lovers"

IMO, this attitude stinks.

Hannes is trying to make a point that you don't realise this game is not supposed to be a copy of ET / RTCW.

He's right that ET players are the minority btw.

Parent

I edited it for a reason. I took it back.

"He's right that ET players are the minority btw. "
No.

But ET players maybe is minority in this game. Which is obvious important to specify.

If anyones attitude is messed up is the ETQW players with their "if you have complains about ETQW go back to ET."
Also Seanza you're prolly not the best person to lecture someone else about attitude.

Parent

even seanza is less annoying then you ( ;) @ sean)

go play ET and stfu

fucking troll

Parent

COOL STORY BRO!

Parent

QuoteBut ET players maybe is minority in this game. Which is obvious important to specify.

Congratulations on getting my point...

Parent

Indeed. It's just shit.

I see your fetish for terrible games now.

Parent

I think CSS is a crap thing! (Compared to 1.6)

Parent

agree. CS:S is terrible compared to 1.6

Parent

i dont see any leagues

Parent

definitely Wolfpro

Parent

why? shrapmod looks better atm

Parent

Shrapmod is trying to make wolf into ET #2 which is ruining the balance of the game. The changes are immense and it isnt really "wolf" anymore. Just stick to ET if u want Shrapmod, same thing anyway...

Parent

yea... tho shooting while sprinting is something what I dont understand why it isnt in wolfpro :-p (is it actually?) just gives me the feeling of cod

Parent

Sweet!

So I unzip it in where? (found it, fix the forum-link btw)

Unzip it in my mouth.

Parent

great job

link to changelog is broken, remove the '

koolbeans. gj b0is.

maybe you could ask shrap to help out as well? he has some nice features in his mod as well.

Quote Cant connect to server 217.163.23.218:27758

Missing two media pak files.

Wont work here because of that error.

Same here.

Parent

start the game with +set fs_game wolfpro

Parent

start the game with +set fs_game wolfpro

Parent

How :/ (My bad, morning stupidity)

Parent

shortcut and add +set fs_game wolfpro

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfenstein\MP\Wolf2MP.exe" +set fs_game wolfpro

Parent

Thanks, worked now. Great job btw, community says tywm!

Parent

ok but what we do with the shortcut add on installing ? or same then adding line to classic wolfMP ?

Parent

just create a shortcut from the wolf2mp.exe and add it to the target path

Parent

thx

Parent

Same here

Parent

well done

game is finally playable imo !

Edit:
this should be main news instead of shrapmod tbh...

wow its so much better already :)

i just set up a wolfpro public server, feel free to test

connect vollgas.sytes.net

hf

i can add this to the news?

Parent

sure , but i will stop the server @ sunday

Parent

ignore shrapmod put this as mainnews plz...

wooooo! will try it later on :D

great job guys, keep it up

nice

geat works guys.

Thx hope it will reduce the bug and shit

what about adding footsteps? its pretty annoying to get the backrape all the time, just because there are no hearable steps

but that revive thingy is pretty awesome !

they added that allready!

Parent

we did raise them a lot already. if you want, have a look into the game004.pke sounds/footsteps.sndshd. you can modify them there, just increase the volume value

Parent

client sided footsteps? ha, didnt know that :P
adding this as cvar could be helpful too

Parent

no, not clientside, its only the definitions how load they are played back.

Adding cvars for this is just not worth it. Needs lots of testing then its ok

Parent

does this fix the fps issues? are you going to fix the failed hitbox registration due to knockback?

just because some1 writes it in a mod its not ment to be true! And we wont go for zero knockback...

Parent

dont listen to overdrive, he will ruin the game

Parent

lold:D

Parent

You've done a great job, but the same question that i asked chris: Can this mod help people with very bad and unstable fps? Or is it mainly down to the engine. He said map design is quite a big issue due to textures, but i assume nobody will take the time to re-texture every map! :D Can this mod do anything?

Parent

we believe that its the maps that really bite the fps atm. You can also try this: http://www.wolfenstein-zone.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=578#p6038 which gave me kinda stable fps.

will see what the SDK holds for us

Parent

Thanks for the reply. And gl with this, hopefully might make mp closer to the game it should of been

Parent

Wolfpro about doubled my outside FPS on most maps (tesla is still lower than the others outside though).

Parent

well everyone i play the game with agrees on this:

dont aim, just aim in the middle and use movement for aim. otherwise you dont hit shit, and its weird cause they said they removed spread for moving the mouse.

Parent

that has exatly "what" to do with knockback and kickback? dont get the refrence

Parent

probably the same as it does in ET!?

Parent

and how is this in ET? i still dont get the refrence.

Parent

can anyone post feedback? how is it compare to the original?

Tried it briefly, can´t say much. Felt clearer and more playable, especially with drawgun 0 since you see what you are using and can handle reloading. Also those clear indicators what were over the opponent are gone, so you have to do something yourself too.

The movement was somehow better, not sure if it was placebo-effect or what :)

Hitsounds were weird, but apparently you can fix them yourself, gonna do it when I got time.

Reviving was way better.

Parent

ok i hope wolfenstein will come soon in il

Parent

n1 job guys...

very nice job :)

I've just got a server from MPUK, should be running with Wolfpro beta but not at home at the mo to test it myself.

Server = Multiplay.co.uk :: Wolfpro Beta 01
IP = 85.236.100.233:28158

Perhaps someone could jump on and tell me if it's OK :)

think its the private beta version

Parent

OK, I'll upload the new public version and ask them to enable it (thought they were a bit quick off the mark!!)

Restarted as a default Stopwatch server for now ...

Parent

OK, should be the public beta now, again I'd appreciate someone trying it and telling me if it's OK ( probably should've waited till I got home to do this :( )

Parent

kewl will try tonight !

uuh

Parent

nice work wolfpro team!

make wolfpro for the leaked beta too :))

seanza said it was pvt like it would be ages

nicely done hannes ; >

Is this for the leaked beta also?

Lots of the shrapmod features look way more promising ... but are often a bit excessive. We need a balance between wolfpro (which does almost nothing) and shrap, it's opposite. :(

wolfpro will make cvars for all options when SDK is released. I think
That way you can play vanilla game with woflpro ( but with fixes that are usefull even for noobs or vanilla players ) Or you can make it into competition mod. Also that way leagues can decide what cvars and not what to use, together with the community. Shrapmod has some nice ideas ofc. But it doesnt suit wolfenstein how it is now.

Parent

I hope you're right. (but it's gonna take forever to have endrant release the sdk.)

But dividing a non existant community between 2 mods will cause more harm than good. And none of the mods seem interesting to me atm (vanilla wolf = no; ET wolf = no)

Parent

Wolfpro aims to be neither of them, all zenix was saying that if players really wanted they could have a Wolfpro server acting like the base game, not that many will though.

At wolfpro we aim to make the game more suitable for competition as well as provide regular players/servers more flexibility with how they play the game.

Parent

Then where are the interesting changes ? :p
Maybe you could make a list of what you are wanting to implement, and ask people here on cf for feedback about it.

Discussing it could be one way to unite shrap and wolfpro here, to work in the same direction. This rejoins what zenix said ... some shrap actual features are too much but implementing it with cvars to let people activating it at will, and let the leagues/community chose what they want.

Parent

yes do it!

Parent

What would you consider interesting changes though? I think the changes we made are a pretty good start without going too extreme, just adding stuff that worked in another game for example isn't such a great idea, changes need to be thought through past the "sounds cool lets add it" stage.

Parent

+133337

Parent

ekeke hannes

Sounds promising, might buy wolf now
Keep up the good work!

So, is it so good now that I should consider buying it?

im thinking the same xd

Parent

Whats command to change clan tag and nick? Always if i change my nick it restores my original profile nick.

And btw if I try to join a team it says teams are full but others can join... without some1 leaving from the teams.

Your in game name is your account name, you can create up to 4 accounts at any given time with 1 CD key, you can delete accounts and make new ones at any time also.

Try autoassign when teams are more than 6v6.

Parent

autoasign gives me the same prob.

Parent

i believe i broke autosign while fixing latched classes :/ not sure tho

Parent

parts of this mod are really good, for example the hud. however, i think shrapmod also has some really good things in in. as it's been said in another thread, he didn't make his mod as a "competitor" to wolfpro, he just took some things that he didn't like about the game and changed them. i do think a few of the things in his mod would fit really nicely in wolfpro, but i doubt this will happen (though im pretty sure shrap would share his ideas freely if asked).

hitsounds are still buggy as, but that's probably an sdk thing?

Very good job guys, the game runs a lot smoother now, but still a bit laggy. I suppose you have done enough on that side - the rest is up to id's patches. Any chance you can make the syringe action instant, like ET? You have to hold the use button for 1 second before they are revived. I think some of the features from shrapmod would work well in a competition mod, so perhaps it's not a bad idea to add shrap to your team, or at least have a chat with him.

we made our point very clear on that case! please stop suggesting this now.

for the syringe. It actually is instant revive, at least it is supposed to be it.

I made a little avi: "http://myhannes.info/bobot.si%20-%20reunion.avi"

Parent

You definitely suck huge black donkey, aids contamined, cocks. For Real.

Parent

just do another hud and its perferct for me!
or mix your mod with hannes to have the best in one mod :x

Parent

i'll maybe give it a shot.
great job anyhow!

shrapmod kinda divides the community.
not good for the game though :x

that's kinda bs, in etqw there were aswell several "mods" which some of them had 2 servers max? divides the community :"))))))))

Parent

youre right about et:qw but cod4 was pretty splitted for some months with pam/promod

Parent

well there wasn't any ET mod for CoD :')

Parent

ET had etpro, shrub, etpub, jaymod, noquarter, tce, and probably some other ones. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though if there are too many you're right that it could divide the community too much.

Parent

nice, keep up the good work!

Its muched improved it, with some netcode fixes, a few maps with capture flag spawn points, a fixed panzer and some hit box fixes we have a very good game on our hands.

Parent

awesome 8)

wondering why wont u stick together with shrapmod guys?

Coz Shrap ripped them off.

Parent

I find that hard to believe. Do you actually have any proof of that or are you just making that up?

Parent

#wolfenstein.gather is running this mod on their servers.

87.118.82.150:38000 TeamHoheLuft | BattleDome - WolfPro v0.1 *RANKED*

Sharpmod won't last long against Promod community imo, that's a good point, if both would be a success it would split a community which doesn't seem to be really huge atm.

About the promod itself, I liked vanilla, but the game is even better with promod, although I dislike some choice (seems to die/kill a lot faster at far distance, but it may be only a one day belief). Anyway, the team that made Quake Wars playable can't fail with a game that was better at its start. Hope you will catch the SDK pretty fast to complete the job. :)

ok i need help with installing this. same thing happened with shrapmod last night when i tried to install it.

i download both things provided on that hannes site or whatever. i try to run the set up and it says to find where wolfenstein is installed, i look, and click legit everything that is in both wolfenstein files... and i get nothing.

so i try and add the promod straight into the wolfenstein/mp file and add

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfenstein\MP\Wolf2MP.exe" +set fs_game wolfpro

as the name. and get that "the name 'c:\program files\activision\wolfenstein\wolf2mp.exe' specified in the targer box is not valid. make sure the path and the file name are correct."

someone please help me because either i am missing something or a file is messed up and its pissing me off.

C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfenstein\MP\Wolf2MP.exe
c:\program files\activision\wolfenstein\wolf2mp.exe

There is a slight difference between these two lines, can you see it ?

Anyway, you should have these lines in your shortcut properties :

Target as : C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfestein\MP\Wolf2MP.exe +set fs_game wolfpro

Start as (just under Target as line) : C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfestein\MP\

Parent

thanks mixo for helping.
but lets say i just wanna stick the wolfpro folder right into the directory, where does it go. right into the MP folder or into another folder into another folder in the MP folder such as BASE?

Parent

right in the MP folder, next to the wolf2mp.exe

Parent

and it still isnt working. idk if this makes a difference but im on vista.
anyway im just gonna start fresh as if i just downloaded them. if you can walk me through it, even quickly, thatll help.

download the installer, search for the wolf2mp.exe, use the desktop shortcut to play ( make sure to create it)

Parent

thats the thing when i use the installer and go to the MP file, wolf2mp.exe doesnt come up as an option

Parent

all i have as choices are the base file and the pb file

Parent

the retail exe is called: Wolf2MP.exe

stop playing the leaked beta

Parent

i purchased the game...
thanks for assuming though. im not trying to give a hard time its just im following what everyone is saying, and it isnt working.

Parent

rename the MP\wolf2mp.exe then to Wolf2MP.exe

and btw update to 1.1 first

Parent

i have updated.

http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l137/gotfrag1991/?action=view&current=wolf.jpg

now do you see what im saying? there is no option. even before i added .exe and even after i add it

Parent

if anyone could direct message me a step by step guide on how to install for someone who has installed the wolfpro on VISTA thatd be a help.

thanks. and thanks hannes for the help so far

Parent

the wolfpro folder is in the right place, judging from that shot. so just start the game with the commandline target options +set fs_game wolfpro

Parent

perfect it works now. dont know what happened. lol. but thanks hannes i really appreciate the help.

Parent

see http://wolf.xartion.net for server list

just use GameScanner! http://www.bdamage.se/

Parent

Btw 1 thing u have to add on your wolfpro, is same then on promod of COD - reset all the xp.
I means im already 37 with quasi all unlock, imagine a war vs a team with player at level max 5 with none unlock...not realy fair

So maybe reset the level on ur next wolfpro edit

Edit : btw this wolfpro still dont help me to gain fps
my comp : Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33Ghz + 3.25 GB ram - Ati HD4800 series
And still no more then 45 fps max

lol you are doing smth wrong than if you dont get higher than 40 FPS. Upgrade drivers, turn catalyst AI off. Use good config
with my pc in my profile i allways have above 120 fps. On high res, and some places even above 200-300fps.

Parent

Maybe but wolf is the only game where i had this kind of problems and i know more then 1 players who had the same.
For exemple game like Arma2 => all at maximum and not prob at all same for Cod4 an more. The only place i had more then 200 is on changing map :)
For the drivers it was the last version and for the cfg i used a low details cfg specialy to gain fps but doesnt change

Parent

me : FPS-addict

wolf : a total letdown

wolf pro : amazing what u guys do in a couple of days wtf

made the game totally playable

keep it up

true that bro.

dont listen to these ET whiners who cant take a bit of a change.

Parent

You sure change your tune!

Parent

well :

i am a sellout cause i did buy the game (because i am a curious nolifer)

but i am still not a wolf enthousiast...

but how you adapted wolf ... is very good

Parent

need more srv + players

good job

cant connect missing 2 media pak files ... wtf..

Yeah, something good is going on!

havnt been here for 2 weeks...

whats the difference between shrapmod and wolfpro?

really need help plz, i do all as u said but now i got this problem

Need help plz

is the a command to use the old/standard hud ?

nope, its in my bin

Parent

Can you add this for the nest version? Exchangeable huds?

Parent

dont see the need

Parent

I need this because Ii have accustomed
