ET Pro 2.0.0


(Sick Boy) #1

… is out! http://bani.anime.net/etpro/

It fixes about 50 bugs, and adds new cool stuff like
-multiview spectating
-class scripting renewed
-alternate huds
-per-map autoexec
-private messenging
-loads of admin options

Cheers bani and your team this is just great! :clap: :drink: :banana:

Oh joy, at last! And what a fantastic range of options and features. I particularly like the “per-weapon” Heavy Weapon restrictions, and the range of bug fixes is equally impressive.

Well done, and even more congratulations getting it accepted as the default competition Mod. Hopefully this will see a whole host of Clan public servers springing up.

Man! Look…at…those…bugfixes! :clap:

…and the fire support status icon (hurrah!)

…and the spectator mode improvements (hurrah!)

…and multiview (hurrah!)

…and the stats saver (hurrah!)

/me runs off to test ETpro…

May I hereby be the first signatory of the “Please install ETpro on the Splash Damage server” petition?

Cheers.

Not if I beat you to it! :smiley:

I can’t see the game developers putting a mod on their own server somehow, but hopefully, as ETPro is the de-facto mod for most leagues and ladders, we’ll see plenty of ETPro servers springing up. And if the Admins of those were brave enough to disable XP as well all the better.

The World looks a much brighter place today! :clap: :banana:

I think I’ve found a server crash bug in 2.0.0. See this post for details.

Can another server admin confirm that entering “ref cal” or “ref twl” or “ref sta” in the server console leads to a segmentation fault under Linux or an access violation under win32?

Thanks.

Im gonna test this new version on our 1st server, but im curieus if people also need to download any files.
Because atm they need to download a .pk3 file which is in the etpro directory and it is more then 1 Mb in size.
I know for Shrub, clients dont need to download anything, maybe lekdevil has the answer ? :slight_smile:


(Lekdevil.NL) #8

Yes, clients will need to download the etpro-2_0_0.pk3 file, which is 1.21 MB in size. Be sure to make it available from your redirect download server, if applicable.


(Spookstah) #9

Arghhh thats a shame, because people get dropped often when they need to download large files :bash:

I see them start downloading the file but they get dropped someway,somehow.


(Lekdevil.NL) #10

That’s because ET client version 2.56 crashes after downloading files from a redirect server. See: http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4355

That doesn’t happen for me when I auto-download ETPro from the BoD server Lek, although I’ve seen it while auto-downloading maps from other servers. So either it only happens while downloading maps, or it depends on the time the download takes (the mod usually only takes me 5 seconds or so to download). Or something else.


(ToeD) #12

thats just bod server :slight_smile:

better then the rest :smiley:


(RocketGrrl [SWE]) #13

Is there any nice and simple way to know if a server runs the ETPro mod?


(twiFight) #14

If you have All Seeing Eye you can see it under the ‘game’ tag. Either:
etmain
shrubet
etpro

Well you can figure out the rest :slight_smile:

I tried /ref cal , /ref twl and /ref twl-sw and it worked all three times.


(Lekdevil.NL) #16

Hmmm… Weird. Which server was it (so I can try it myself via a callvote)? Also, what distro/kernel are you running your servers on?


(Wraith2k3) #17

Joygasm!


(Lekdevil.NL) #18

I’ve found the exact condition that causes the server to crash when enabling match settings. It seems that when sv_maxClients is less than the default 20, the server will crash when the match config gets loaded (either by the ref or via a callvote, as described above).


(Sick Boy) #19

I found a minor bug tonight in a 6vs6 war: on the middle spawnflag in radar the number by the flag on the map in limbo that says how many of your team will spawn there was 12.

Please dont say its just so they can do the custom HUD or something. :bored:
