The Wolf_ET_Test.exe cannot be installed on Win2K servers remotely via Terminal Services. Terminal Services (prior to XP / .Net) is limited to 256 colours.
On running the installer I get an alert box: “Your display settings must be set to at least 65,535 colors (16-bit). Click OK to exit the installer.”
Any chance of a new/separate installer for servers?
I installed it from the Console… But now i canot start the Server over the
Remote Desktop ! (–>256 Colors) … but i dont need graphix!!
its a dedicated Server!
Is it Possible to start a dedicated Server like “ET.exe -set dedcated” ?
if not, the RDP Remoteconsole is not usable for managing a Server !
please, any Input ?
I ended up installing the game on a PC and FTPing the files manually.
Running the server works fine from TS - just do something like:
ET.exe +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg
Unfortunately no example server.cfg is included… here’s what I’m using:

Stick that in server.cfg in your ettest directory.
Ok, first time poster and also very new to the entire Wolfenstein arena. However, I have a community to please and they’re asking for this game, so I’m drudging up incredibly old threads here to find the answer to my issue.
What does this mean: installed from the Console? I’m using RD to access our unmanaged server (2GHz, 1G RAM (400FSB) on dual OC32s), but as stated in this thread, I can’t install because it doesn’t give me better than 256 colors. How can I install? Plz explain. 
EDIT: incidentally, this isn’t the test version as I’m sure you know. This is the full version.
Any chance there’ll be a stand-alone ded. server installer some day?
Use Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection software to establish a Terminal session with the computer. the RDC allows you set display settings (resolution and color depth)… you should be able to install it from there.
You can run a dedicated server just like you could in RtCW.
Check www.gameadmins.com for information on setting up a dedicated server. What’s true for RtCW is pretty much true for ET.
Or read the docs that come with ET
Actually, it won’t display anything except 256 colors. :disgust: That’s ok, though, I figured out what the last post before mine had meant and am uploading the files from my own installation and hope that registry settings aren’t necessary to run the server.
No offense, but that doesn’t help me. Either case, I figured it all out and have the server running. A little reassurance is all that I was ever after.
