ET Live


(Gir) #1

ET is at the point of become unplayable, its full of Ghost Servers, Aimbots, Wallhacks, PB is gone, no point playing it anymore

We need ET Live !!!

Quake Live is centralized, community all in the one area and its Secure, this is what ET needs

Absolutely. The game is completely cannibalised right now. Mutated beyond recognition.

At the same time, Warchest seems to be begging for something to lure millions of players on board…

ET is plagued with humanized aimbots, it is so difficult to distinguish them from Genuine players very annoying on the server i play. i spend more time spectating and looking for bots then actual playing.

You have no idea of what you are talking Sir.

There is an anticheat working for ET, is called TZ-AC (it was SLAC before).

http://tz-ac.com/

It has been running for 2 years or 1 at least. Is getting cheaters and banning them. You just have to play on servers with TZAC http://tz-ac.com/servers.php

You will have to wait 30 days though, that sucks but keeps cheaters out of the way.

By the way, on the other servers PB still is running and working it just doesn’t get updated.

I have not seen a cheater in ages in ET, just good players which have played for years and many in competition so the level in that game is quite high anyway and most players will do great in any other FPS from nowadays as COD or Battlefield which require less skill.

ONLY 30 days? Alright, that will bring the ET community back to its millions again.

Not everyone likes the idea of installing software created by an ex-cheater though.

Personally cheating wasn’t the biggest reason I quit ET, it was all the crap custom pk3s that most server admins insist on using on their servers. This combined with xp-save, no spawnkill rules, no objective rules and other silly stuff like that just made me settle for another game that whilst wasn’t as good as W:ET, it was clear from all that nonsense and still quite fun to play, ET:QW.

I agree, but atleast it is a programmer who knows cheats and knows how to stop them.

It is very easy to make ET Live.

Just needs to make plugin for that and thats it :slight_smile:

The plugin is in C-- language D: ( something like that,I can remember that it was not in C or C++, but had same .cc file ending and java classes )

Some Javascript, so it works like, the browser sends to request to start ET.exe, the ET is opened, but in the BROWSER, for that is needed Javascript to display it.

Btw, QuakeLive DOES have cheaters too!


(tokamak) #8

Definitely. In the end the game just looked nothing like the game I used to play.

I was looking forward to that article, what I lost before.
So here it is:

Git: https://github.com/inolen/q3plugin

E: It’s in C++, I just got confused by linkers. :<

Well Chris I can understand that but why didn’t you just play Etpro mod where people have been playing the same maps for ages and there are hardly any downloads.

About the ex cheater I think you mean a guy that programmed cheats in his past (is not the same) but IMO the fact that he is an ex cheats developer makes him so good doing the anticheat, I think time has proven that already against all the paranoic guys thinking he would hack every pc with his software.

Not ET:Live but perhaps something along those lines. If SD is knocking out a game in a relatively short timespan then I’d have to imagine they’re sticking closer to a tried and tested formula. I’d question whether they could do WWII though, being F2P there will be [hats] galore so the setting would need to be accepting to that kind of stuff.

Maybe I’m contradicting myself here but I think I’d prefer something darker, I just don’t seem to be able to buy into the bright, cartoony violence. It seems intentionally comic and devalued as a result. With that in mind I would like to see something like ETQW’s asymmetric teams but with demons vs gun toting clergy. >:)

make it vampires and werewolves to keep it topical and you got it

" it was all the crap custom pk3s that most server admins insist on using on their servers. "

I played et from ettest to till about 2008 and then moved over to etqw where I still play. But sometimes I don’t have access to my main computer but a more modest machine that should be able to run ET fine. But I thought of what was starting to get really bad when I left. All the custom pks, endless new maps etc. New maps aren’t something to complain about, I remember some really great ones. But then before you barely got used to one there would be a ton more, and the custom pks got really bad.

Before I give ET a chance again are there any plain ET servers? Or I didn’t mind jaymod or etpro but with minimal customization


(acQu) #14

Seems very rare these servers. Even basic ETPro servers switched to main menu hacking stuff etc. I find all that stuff very lame, with all the crap pk3 aka ~~~~.pk3. And that is coming from one of the most pure ETPro servers i know. Probably pulling the plug is best, since people are just stupid, and you have no other chance against them than not playing ET anymore. I kinda agree now that ET has become one big mess. My shoutout: just stop the main menu crap. Nowadays you seem to get menu hack stuff from almost every server, WTF!!! And everyone is going to claim ‘herp derp i am just doing it because everyone else does it’. That is such a madness. If anyone got a server without that crap, post here. I will join immidiately!!!


(Nail) #15

well, I have an ETPro server running original maps, no menus or silly crap, if the interest is there, I might be willing to open it up


(Indloon) #16

I got an idea, write ETplus UI code so that we don’t need any .menu files, the UI is in source code, just like in old Q3 code :slight_smile:

This needs some engine tweaking, but since ETplus is also on engine side then OK.

This removes these menu files, however the UI must make clan friendly so they could put up their watermark, info…etc.

etpub, no bots, no crap


(Mateos) #19

Does it have an anticheat protection? PB disabled, and SL doesn’t show an alternative protection; I don’ t see it on TB…


(TXSSTEVE) #20

Just had a quick look and can’t see your server up mate… Or any other populated ETPub/Pro servers at all.
I miss the days when NQ/Jaymod servers and menu hacks were the minority and Pub and Pro servers were in abundance.
