Should ETPro be revived?

It's just been the two year anniversary since ETPro 3.2.6 was released (18th September 2006) and by the look of it, it's going to be the last ETPro release before ET eventually dies.

Do you think that the mod has had it's day or should it be revived because there are still bugs that need to be fixed?

I say let it die :P but get Bani to actually announce development is over.

e:1 nice time hax fusen

e:2 i talked to chaplja and he said he won't be doing major changes, nothing special the anti-cheat is the highest priority, but they might unlock some cvars or arrange some bugs, not sure though. but yeah, arranging / unlocking some cvars would be nice .
yes, fix cheaters
Leave that bug to me.

QuoteCan ETPro be left to die?


QuoteYes, there are still things to be fixed!:


eh... think it needs rewording there fusen :\

I don't think etpro needs to die, just needs a new coder. Problem is, I doubt bani is willing to give up the etpro sourcecode to just anyone.
I said this to fusen too but he is too stubborn to listen!
Parent
updated :X I changed what I was thinking half way through without editing the title
Parent
Sad and old story, but just like OSP the mod will die cause the coder doesnt want anybody else to touch his code. In the end they dissappear, like with OSP, and ppl are stuck with a great mod they cant improve. I tried RTCW, but is it really that fucking hard to add some hud features so i can move the timers. And seriously, forcetapout would be a great feature which would only improve RTCW.

well, gamedevs are superiour beings and usually know better then the ppl who actually play their games hardcore!
Parent
i felt the same things with the huds for ET.
Parent
but you can move them around till you got an rtcw hud right?
Parent
hmm close but reinforcement timer is in totally the wrong place = many full spawns. Dont think it can be moved,
Parent
same for me in rtcw :DD + no forcetapout sux :'(
Parent
if that is actually him, please wear it to cc5.
Parent
only problem is anti lag, if they remove that then etpro would be almost perfect
Yah, if some has 20ping he _owns_ everyone if there is no antilag : )
Parent
everything was fine in rtcw(i heard)
Parent
well yah its fine to play if you have 50ping : )
Parent
trust me, it isn't fine when you have unstable 70-100 ping. used to have with my old connection 50 ping, i was actually good at rtcw back then. novadays i lose all the duels against every fucking random british/dutch noobie gg
Parent
i have unstable ~80 in most servers (uk, dutch, etc) and i dont lose most of my duels, you cant blame it on only that
Parent
internet + pc = skill
Parent
DONT TOUCH IT OR ELSE
Parent
go play quake 3 osp and enjoy 2h serversearches before important wars .. thats competitive gaming with q3 engine and without antilag
Parent
competitive quake 3 is played on cpma :x
Parent
new etpro means nC cheats wont work no more, they need to recode them. If there are really small changes in the code every now and then, et could be cheat free.
what's that word? it's right under my thongue... utopia!! that's it!!

it would be nice though
Parent
Right under your thong? :(
Parent
no, thongue !
Parent
Hellhammer dude that won't work, i say 2 weeks to a month MAX because pansefucker recodes his etBot, asuming he doesn't get his hands on it before it's released. Et will never be cheat free.
Parent
fix that annoying reload + nade bug (when pressing reload and immediatly weaponbank 4, the reload fails)

+edit and add more crosshairs, or modify the old corsshairs to get them working with a bit tweaked graphic card settings :p

+edit and don't unlock the cvar that adjusts player model brightness
the cvar that 'unlocks' player brightness , is determined in cb cfgs :)
Parent
Wtf is ETPro?!:
still the 5th most played FPS according to gamespy; sure the majority of that now is shitty mods but even more reason to keep improving etpro =]

altho saying that i love et as it is at the moment anyway so i'm not especially fussed
REMOVE PRONEDELAY
forcecvar b_pronedelay 0 :P
Parent
worst suggestion ever :D

i love the pronedelay.
and i love that it is only used on lol-american servers anymore.
Parent
i completely agree
Parent
i dissagree, proning is a noob tactic used by only people of the uncivilised ET world (yanks and canads) i cant be bothered with faggots diving down to shoot 10 rounds into my feet, completely lowskill.
Parent
don't forget hippies
Parent
OH NO! WHAT WILL THE HIPPIE QUEEN SAY!
Parent
^7Ks ^0- ^7Reptile ^1ATI^7: ^rthey try n ban prone , why don't they ban such spamscripts
Parent
"mortal laming"
Parent
all who voted for et isn't popular enough -die in a car fire (c)dunz , cod & css faggots
If no one is playing ET, who gives a shit if there is a new etpro?
Parent
ET is still popular dumbass
Parent
Not competitively, not where I'm from, dumbass.
Parent
blame canada
Parent
:) Blame America, Canada has plenty of hackers keeping the scene active!!
Parent
my right hand can play vs the left hand... a new etpro would be cool anyway
Parent
If Wolfenstein fails somebody will have to do something so we can keep riding the ET Dinosaur
if ET-ACE comes, then not, but otherwise yes
gunX gunZ gunY should be unlocked, need brightskins, and a user data folder with configs/screenshots/demos like warsow.
custom huds + customs crosshairs.

remove grenadetrail, panzertrail, support dual core, maxpackets 125. improved netcode and integrated direct input
+ r_picmip 16
doable with pb disabled and running anti3
Parent
sv_screenshake 0 please
compared to other games ET is already too easy game
Parent
Thats true, but its still way more fun than the harder games ( I think you missed my sarcasm on that comment:P)
Parent
1st priority should be a new anticheat offense.

The current bots shouldnt run with an eventually new EtPro version^^ gonna be intersting whose skill drops down to zero after update^^
leave that shit and play quake live instagib pl0x!!!11!oneone
:D fix hit boxes when ppl crouch
isnt it possible to pay bani for the code?
I think that would violate the EULA, so I doubt bani would do that.
Parent
The crouch hitbox should be fixed...
would be cool
Think it's a little too close to the new Wolfenstein to start redeveloping mods for ET. Might be a waste of time depending on how long these changes can be implemented etc.
You can only make such a statement if the releasedate of wolfenstein is known.
Parent
I read in some post here that the new wolfenstein will be out in 2009 so i just based my statement on that.. and imo it won't be out any later than that judging from the screenshots/ promotional video etc For all we know it could be nearly done, and will be released in the first couple of months of 2009..

I just don't see how redeveoping/updating ETPRO will be worth the effort when "wolfenstein" could just be round the corner. Judging by the rest of the community/"SAVE ET" projects it probably could take anything over 6months to redevelop the mod.

On the other hand, if someone can actually get the mod done fast and efficiently.. well then i see no problem.
Parent
nae bother MEIGHT
Parent
shut the fuck up you tosser
Parent
year ago they said that it will be out this spring
as we see they always tell the truth and some retards really believe them
Parent
A year ago there wasn't alot of videos and screenshots released, now there is.. meaning there is progress being made..
Parent
yea, but what they are doing is still.... making it so long, must be really good but according to the engine it sux(at least for me)
Parent
WAITING FOR A MEDIC
yes

there are some features that need to be looked at (anti-lag, hitboxes).

also, we need some new competition configs that restrict spam (especially rifles).

or we could just remove rifles completely and make this a superb game, instead of just a good one!

#banrifles (yeye, it's empty, i know!)
CS rounds pls
if there are any bugs then obviously they should be fixed. however I haven't noticed anything major so it's all the same for me.
- medi/ammo packs go through some walls (map broblem? happens alot in oasis and bremen)
- spawning without stamina
- spawning with wrong weapon
- cant pick up guns at some places like near trucks and tanks
- hearing cp being build like its right next to u sometimes when u are far away from it (happens only with s_volume 0.8 i guess)
+ prolly many others that i cant remember atm

nothing major true but still annoying
Parent
why fix it when its not broken
Voted No, its almost perfect, but i'd remove pronedelay .-)
+1 (@pronedelay)
Parent
no use since etace is coming. but what should i vote for now?
polaks hitboxes need to be fixed
says a frenchman
Parent
Yes, there are still things to be fixed!:

(471 votes)

Like others said , there are still a bunch of rather annoying bugs

Hitbox for high pings should be more accurate too as it just sucks playing against such guys
well i'd love to see some more graphical tweaks tbfh, not that i don't like the current settings, but would make the game a bit more professional. [cpma tweaks own...]
- no faces at all / high fps models like in cs 1.6 (that is just so nice...)
image: models
- ugly trucks & tanks & command posts & barriers & everything :P
- uber high fps models and uber low quality textures for weapons [even for mines and satchels and everything]
- 100% invisible smg bullets
the other thing i want is allowing prone again, don't think it would make such a big difference anymore. (and ofc this is rather server config related)
dual core support and better hitboxes would be nice.
remove the sten's overheating. remove scoped fg42 recoil completely. increase scoped k43 damage by up to 1.5X [and block all sniper scripts]
perharps more trickjump support [pmove_fixed 1 or something better]


oh and ofc. akimbo pistols ftw! give it to soldiers and coverts by default as alternative weapon
well sniper scripts havnt worked for ages, but you can still code one outside of ET or something.

anyway, most of the changes you said would be imbalanced, especially 1.5x dmg on scope. you could take down a medic in 2-3 bodyshots, which are easy to make.
Parent
that's exactly what i want. more gameplay variety. teams would be playing with covert opses. even i would have more interest in trying out sniping again after 3 years or smth..... the game wouldn't be that boring anymore
and sniper scripts still do work btw :D some people even use(d) it @ officials without any kind of consequences...
Parent
no, sniperscripts don't work. the +lookdown command was removed, and there is no substitute for it. it's people that get owned by someone that has high sens and skilled aim that whine about sniperscripts.
Parent
i don't get owned and i don't whine. but i haven't got my life to waste on learning to aim with a goddamn useless weapon:p i just want to get it fixed so that even ppl like me, who don't play that much, can have fun & can have kills like those who practice 24/7
Parent
you dont need to practice sniper, if you have good aim, it just comes naturally after you get used to the sensitivity and pitch needed to snipe fast. especially if you've played quake3 or something before, and i wasnt referencing to you when i said that people whine about sniperscripts
Parent
good :> as for the topic, i simply think et needs a bit more variety. making the covert ops more valuable would be one option.
Parent
and i think all what i've written should have been already done a long time ago.
if we would implent all of them at once now, everybody would start crying how much the game has changed n stuff........ (like with 5on5. people would switch back fast to what they are used to)
however enabling them one by one would be amazing. this is why i'm saying that coding them should have been started something around 3 years ago - at least...........................
Parent
Anyone with decent aim using a non-overheating sten would be way too powerful.
Parent
change random knockback to fixed knockback, fix crouch hitboxes, make headshots a bit more powerfull, disable the antilag, disable hitsounds.
This reminds me of something.
Parent
why disable the hitsound? i like to hear the hs sound! :) just leave it like this if u dont like it u can disable it ;\
Parent
hes rtcw maniac, forgive him
Parent
im rtcw PUBLIC maniac myself but lost my key :<
Parent
you can disable hitsounds :E
Parent
ok I ment remove...
Parent
Why do you want them to be removed totally?
Parent
its not ok for someone to like it
Parent
no sympathy.
bring back the prone ! its not gonna really change something I dont even know why u took it off it was awesome :<
It changed the fact that everybody was proning infight? (e.g. madscientist, who disappeared after pronedelay was implemented)
Parent
bring back the artillery & nade hitsounds etc!

or at least give an option that you can switch them on or off!
Lets add ! to every sentence, it makes you look cool!
Parent
ye... hitsounds for flamethrower :P
Parent
There are things I would change in the current match config but those can be done with the current version, so a new one isn't needed.
like vagGi said, bring back arti + nade hitsounds

+ do something about the hitboxes :x they seem to be fairly shit at certain times...

and i wish they would bring back the skill rewards for competetitive play ;(
why this poll? dont give et players any false hope when its obvious that bani isn't developing a new etpro.. everyone starts throwing suggestions immediately but it's no use
unless he is actually working on a new etpro ofc, but he isn't right?
highly unlikely, but it's more to try and get an "official" closing of the mod than anything else :P
Parent
too bad, was hoping you knew something more about a new etpro =)

image: 4_4_fusensherlocksm
Parent
I'm been asking about it for a while but bani doesn't really say anything except "\o/" and zinx and reyalp won't do a release as it's bani's mod and he has the final say.

There have been fixes made in the latest code trunk supposedly but it's a complete guess if they'll ever see the light of day

You know the answer on that question!
Parent
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIESSSSSSSSSSS
ye, we need tits.
Parent
Fix the stamina bug, I dont want to spawn without stamina !
Please fix that fucking antilag.
et needs crouchsliding like in quake4
Would be awesome if they would release a new patch for the game itself. But it wont happen as they ain't caring about Enemy Territory anymore < - (never did)

Anyways a update would be crucial for Enemy Territory, most likely teams are going back to the game then.
lay it to rest ffs and find a comparable substitute....
ambientscale!
I didnt think that

Quake World?

i play cod4 myself that doesnt make me a blind, ignorant piece of pancake.

and btw i thinkt the fully correct name was enemy territory quake disappearedintonothing

playing quakeworld doesn't make you a blind ignorant piece of pancake
Parent
thats up to interpretation and after being transformed into a blind, ignorant piece of pancake, by QW ofc, its pretty hard to interpert anything correctly.
