Return To Castle Wolfenstein Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory

ET & RtCW Engine Source Code Released

by beggin • 13 Aug 2010, 21:00 • News
id Software has finally released the source code for the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory engine, along with the source code for the Return to Castle Wolfenstein SP and MP engine. During QuakeCon 2009, John Carmack stated id Software's plans to release the source code, shortly after being acquired by ZeniMax.

The news comes during SLAC's development, as well AxisRevenge's development, a community game based on the Wolfenstein multiplayer series.

Quoterelease of the et source code does not change the mod situation

much like the q3 source code release did not change the mod situation

new and improved clients were released such as ioquake3, cnq3, dfengine, q3mme but the mods remain unchanged (osp, cpma, cnq3)

compatibility is maintained with mods, sure compatibility is not maintained with SLAC due to the aggressive way in which SLAC hooks into the ET client but I'm sure if someone with enough motivation started working on an improved ET client that chaplja would have no choice but to co-operate else watch his anti-cheat die

saying "we cannot do anything with it" is simply wrong and you're just as bad as the people who claim the source code release will somehow "save ET"

no reason to discourage creativity before anything has even happened. i for one really want a q3mme style et client... demo rewinding, directly writing motion blurred video&audio to avi, in-engine camera path creation and editing... motivated/skilled persons could really do a lot with this source code so yeah it is a pretty good thing

Parent

Ronner 14 Aug 2010, 03:57
- graphic data (textures etc)
- sound data
- map data
etc.

and like the guy above mentioned, 6mb of actual source-code is quite a lot.

add dualcore support if possible :P

hipee 14 Aug 2010, 11:08
The demo format should be changed to *.avi, but it should still be replay able with other configs for better Moviequality. Maybe the ETTV Servers will have some problems with it.

Better Deatheffect when someone get killed, like it is in some Movies.

Maybe a new Skinpack, Soundpack.

New Maps for new Gameplay like 'Capture the Flag' or 'Deathmatch'. Withit some new Leagues will come up and maybe more ppl will get interested in ET.

We need to make ET more interesting to other persons, give some usefull suggestions.

y but stay realistic...
Parent
▼
hipee 14 Aug 2010, 11:44
Why this isnt realistic?
These are suggestions, and the ET scene got some nice Coders.
Why they shouldnt do that?
Parent
▼
1ns4n1tY 14 Aug 2010, 13:43
no, just no.
why limit the game to a certain codec right away? doesn't make any sense at all.
Parent
▼
Mistfits 14 Aug 2010, 19:46
we all like ET here because it isn't a "classical multiplayer mod", why the hell would you want to do some CTF or deathmatch shit thing :/
Parent
▼
hipee 14 Aug 2010, 19:48
maybe we can make some cs or cod players love et like we do?
Parent
▼
Mistfits 14 Aug 2010, 20:02
It wouldn't work. ET wouldn't be a good game with theses formats, ET community wouldn't play it at all and I don't think cod or css players would quit their respective game to join a deadly mod on an old game they didn't like before...
Parent

hipee 14 Aug 2010, 20:03
hmm your right...

but i want to have a better deatheffect :D:D
Parent
▼
Mistfits 14 Aug 2010, 20:11
There is a better deatheffect in fun mods if I'm not mistaken, noquarter or nitmod (read my comment above about that if you wonder what it is), not sure anymore tho.
Parent

synthic 14 Aug 2010, 12:12
So there will be hope for this game, more 3d work init in the next update?
Also, I hope that somebody could make a nice mod or something to add some nice realistic/effect stuff for movie making as example, like they did on counterstrike source/1.6

does this mean it's possible to fix the 10000000000 bugs ET has? and update some basic stuff?
▼
Fixate 14 Aug 2010, 14:44
so now ?? we can merge RTCW and ET into the perfect game we've always dreamed of oh wait.... i just woke up
▼
woot 14 Aug 2010, 14:54
NO! the perfect game is rtcw
Parent

Deactivated3011 14 Aug 2010, 18:31
Rtcw respawnsystem is borked, ET's respawn system is far superiour. The respawnsystem wouldnt be as much of a problem if it werent for clans playing with nothing but fops spam on beach for example.

Rtcw anitlag is fucked. Thats why ETpro had to redo the ETmain hitboxes (ported from RTCW)

I can underdstand you prefer the wolfrof but and option was made in ET and it never took off.

woot 14 Aug 2010, 19:50
agree on hitboxes, but once u get used to it, you just know wheir and how to aim

Deuger 15 Aug 2010, 00:40
yeah but its still fucked up and annoying
