ET-Xreal released | Journals | Crossfire

It was released already months ago, this is just another beta I think, as they are still in the developing phase..

i see what u did there

QuoteWe are currently still very much in development face. Therefore, We encourage you to try it and to give your feedback. We currently still make use of the original master server and protocol, so manual connection is the easiest.

Anyone test it allready?

Yup

Parent

did anyone test it already ?

Oui

Parent

Ca change bcq ?

Parent

ouai comme même

Parent

quite slow?

e: doesnt work for me, when i connect on the serv my etxreal.exe got blackscreen and some kind of brown ball is on the top of the screen

That is the map loading screen :D took me a while to load around 5 - 6 mins

Parent

what exactly is the purpose of developing that mod?
i mean its like a pure graphics mod but what is the goal of that project?
is it made for recording et movies on that mod?
i guess playing on it wont be the purpose..

its not an et mod, its a standalone ET using a newer engine. atleast, as far as i know, thats what it is.

Parent

dual is right.. its standalone ET using newer engine. And its ment to get new players with better graphics as old ET is so "blurry" with so old engine etc etc..

Parent

so no cheats for that game yet? :pPp

Parent

+1 :D

Parent

as seems so theres none yet I suppose.. well havnt done any research about it :D but u can do some gr0ss :P

Parent

well, first of all for the developer i guess it is just a hobby / proof of concept...

for us, well, we could get better fps because it uses the gpu and other resources more efficiently, providing better quality.
Also we can use multicore, maybe higher maxpackets, etc etc, i haven't checked. I'm installing it right now

edit: he also provided a new tool to create maps more easly, allowing us to use models/maps from other idtech4 games like doom3 etc etc etc

Parent

Could you post some pictures later?

Parent

Yes i guess, i'm highly interested how it looks for moviemakers ^^ eventhough we would need a mod to allow etpro demos to be played :|

Parent

theres said that ETmain is the mod on based and some guys said that jaymod and NQ is working on it allready with some little bugs wich is rlly understandable

Parent

ye, but i only care about etpro, other mods doesn't really matter for me :f

Also with default cfg at 1600x900 or smth like that i have unstable 80fps :F wtf

edit: nvm... low fps because the demo had alot of ppl xD at empty oasis i have stable 125

Parent

why is the guy taking the screenshots on the moddb page having only 44 fps then?

developer nerd testing the game on a netbook with linux?
:p

Parent

doch doch, wieso denn nicht drauf spielen?

Parent

ich dachte dass der fokus auf das rendern von lichtstrahlen/exakten schatten und auf neuen texturen gelegt wurde. deshalb auch der name Xreal.
ich wusste nicht dass allgemein die ganze engine neu is und dass man echt drauf spielen könnte.
Wegen der grafik hat noch keiner angefangen ein Spiel intensiv und langfristig zu spielen.

Parent

same problem :/

Parent

buggy shit, bugged tree's, fullscreen = gamecrash, spec some other player = gamecrash, pressing any key on the loading screen = gamecrash, enemys are half on the screen if i see one.. hope that iwll be fixed

it's working for me ;S
I only miss most of the axis rifle, if it is on the ground (only metal is visible).

Parent

Well, not that impressed yet :|

The game takes ages, i mean AGES, to load a empty map, the quality is kinda bugged (few dark places or too bright at weird places), my moviemaking cfg seems very bad at etx... if i execute my map cfgs the game becomes way too bright n stuff

:||||

few random shots using my battery cfg at etx_battery

image: CB1NM

even my colors looks bad there :XD

Cant you tweak (quality-wise) it even more? Higher Resolution, AA, AF and that stuff? Or is it already at max?

Parent

it's _really_ not at the max, the new engine cvars need to be tested to provide good quality and a good mix of colors (as i did before at normal et). The new engine supports bloom, shadows, better dynamic lights etc etc, i'm using the default at this screens!

Parent

you sound surprised that a config for a seperate engine looks bad?

also i've heard ETXreal is awful, absolutely god awful but i havent tested it myself and i have no intention of doing so

Parent

why so? the engine uses the same basic cvars as i do at my cfg... plus my map cfg's only mix some values of r_intensity/gamma/mapoverbrightbits n stuff, so technically it should be _ok_ , but instead of looks really different

Parent

because it's a different engine, cvars/commands are nothing but text

the engine changes so your cvars need to change (values)

Parent

ye, i just didn't expect to have to change it so much, thats means if i want to get it as i used to, i need to test all visual cvars .. again :D:D:D

Parent

and prolly loose em 3 times due to a HDD crash ^_^

Parent

thats a moviemaker curse trust me!!! :D

Parent

I believe the renderer (r_*) cvars especially are very different with XreaL. You should create a separate graphics config for it instead of using regular ET one.

Parent

seems true ^^

Parent

keep ignoring me at msn :(

Parent

Thanks but still come msn. Need to tell u smth :o

Parent

Going to buy some groceries right now, be back in less than a hour

Parent

I was hoping that they will make the water more blue, Im sick of editing it in after effects all the time :S nice screens tho, imo its looking good, but still imrpovable..

Parent

ye it has potencial, with a proper cfg... but they really need to fix the fuckedup textures... and they should add a inbuilt minimizer and remove old maps like battery and make etx_battery default... etc etc.. there is still alot to be done

Parent

did you send them some requests already? if not, do so, otherwise they will never find out about it :S build-in minizmier = Alt + Enter doesnt work?

Parent

alt+enter works, but thats not a minimizer

i wrote my opinion at their SD topic, check here: http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php/31320-ETXreaL-0.3.0?p=384468&viewfull=1#post384468

it would be lovely, moviemaking wise, if they could implement q3 mme at the _engine_ :D they released the source code, and et is not that different...their cam system, particles, etc etc is awesome

Parent

ah yea you're right, I use a Alt + Enter all the time as "minimizer" to do other stuff meanwhile, but its not really a minizmier :/ I think I will test the mod out and see if its looking good with my cfg and CC, hopefully the recording times decreased by now ^_^

Parent

well, at etx the vid_restart / map load takes ALOT MORE time than normal et..i can load a map in 4 seconds or smth...at etx it takes 30s or more :F lol thats why the alt+enter sucks... and etmin.exe doesn't work with etx..

do not expect any miracle, as i said the cvars changed alot... if for example you use r_intensity 1.2 at gr with normal et, and with same cfg you try r_intensity 1.2 at ETX etx_goldrush, well it doesn't really look the same... it means we need to test all cvars all over again to provide the best default colors, atleast i'm speaking for myself because i play alot with <map>.cfg

Parent

I expected much more :/

Parent

remember this is a BETA and i don't have a etx cfg... this is my moviemaker cfg, seems like they changed the normal cvars alot.. example: r_intensity 1.3 at old et doesn't look the same intensity if i apply r_intensity 1.3 at etx ^^ etc etc

Parent

isntead of writing in such a negative, NEGATIVE way, you ccould also make it look more like feedback, i mean this guy put alot of effort into this for ppl who enjoy ET

Parent

don't get me wrong, i fully support his work and i believe it's going in the right direction. There is alot to be done, lots of bugs to be fixed, but i am happy with it. I was just expecting something a bit different, seems like we need to do few changes at our cfgs to get the "old feeling" with better look ^^ shame on me ^^

Parent

i understand, it just sounds so negative :P

Parent

well, i like to be negative and constructive, its meant to help people improve... same applies to myself...

Parent

u can be be negative constructive in a postive way!

Parent

oh dear :D go outside and spend yourtime in other stuff, don't spamm meeeee :DD

Parent

http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php/31320-ETXreaL-0.3.0?p=384468&viewfull=1#post384468

still thinking i can't write a constructive comment?

Parent

hey i never said that! :D

e: and im proud of you <3

Parent

:$ :D

Parent

alright, now i m confused again..

i was on the server together iwth the developer of that mod and he told me its only about new graphics. the new engine doesnt do anything else than graphics stuff..

again, what is the purpose of xreal?

Bringing newfags into ET

Parent

honestly... the graphics stuff is working for singleplayer games or console ones but we re talking about a different kind of graphics quality...
graphics do look quite nice on the mod but still it just is an etmain based mod of which i doubt that it would attrackt new players :P

Parent

if there's a new engine, does that mean strafejumping is gone or what

only graphics changes
gameplay is exactly etmain

Parent

quake3 based engine, so no.

ETTV show match?

still beta so I think that would be a bad idea

Parent

awesome idea dude... except that... ettv is not fully compatible with etx :DDDDDDDD

Parent

Dont see the point for some reason, no offense to the people who are contributing to it.

But I can basically achieve those graphics using r_picmip 0..
I would have thought it would be a totally different engine, i.e. different movement, weapons in etpro etc, not just better graphics.

Other than that its basically the current ET we got..

Could not initialize OpenGL 3.2 context: no WGL_ARB_create_context
Make sure your graphics card supports OpenGL 3.2 or newer

I've been saying this before colors have wayyy too much contrast, this also needs a new mod , a mod that can be updated unlike ETpro....

Here's some video footage of the gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fFV-PQ-8E
