GenKiller2003, a member of an group called EagleFalcon told us, that the group is working on an special Mod for Wolf:ET:
They said they have been working on it for about 3 months, and in that time they have made some great achievments in this game. The mod is currently titled ET: UnderFire, the biggest mod ever for ET.

  • They promise over 150 new additions, including weapons, Shrub mod improvments, Textures, (25 new maps), vehicales - (in which you can get into and ride along in an AI path firing guns),

  • Improved AI

  • Improved Bugs and tweaks to all current ET maps,

  • New Start screen, improved server tweaks, refreshes, music, sounds, T&L effects.

I have been told of this for quite some time, but I wasn’t clearly aware of it, till I joined the stuff. Our project is opening an playtest on: December 1st, 2003 which is an 349 MB download.

The full game will be rounded to 350mb or 400mb depending on feedback!

Tell me what u think!
Funding for this project has been donated by gamers like you…Thank you :smiley:

Anyone know more about this? Sounds a bit weird to me, especially the “improved AI” bit…

Well, I’m certainly not an expert on modding, but really dont know how they could make these changes without the source code for ET. As far as I know, only Shrub and Bani have been given the code.

Well it no doubt sounds interesting… especially the improved AI part… are they making n00bs smarter?

Personally, i’m looking forward to the improved bugs :banana:

It’s true SD didn’t make any funny bugs like the sticky meds and moving gates in RTCW :frowning:

Hope they’ll improve on that.

Seriously :: seems hoax to me. Try googling for eaglefalcon and stuff. Some other things I would find suspicious too…

Hoax, yes, unless Activision gave them the source, but now it says Shrub, but I don’t think Shrub gave them the source code.

And djbob, I know how you feel, LOL I’m looking forward to improved bugs too :clap: :drink: :banana:

Im simply lookin a shotgun :frowning:

(Sauron|EFG) #8

Well, we really don’t know who Activision have given access to the code, do we?
Here’s one I didn’t know about until just now:

But it does sound really fishy, and it may turn out to be a duck. Or a banana.

for a couple months now(more or less) a new ET mod has been showing here"

http://www.gamespy.com/stats/mods.asp?id=813&s=1

Q3UT3
2 servers, 0 players

http://www.gamespy.com/stats

I remember back in june i had seen etshrub as one of the servers – and a few months later etPro and shrub came out. oldlink

:skull:

Eh ? Q3UT3 is urban terror 3, a quake3 mod (a very nice one, FWIW). I would be very surprised if they were porting to ET. More likely, someone has made an error somewhere which makes it show up incorrectly in the stats.

(Eddie1989) #11

LOL I bet he doesn’t know the difference between Quake 3 and ET… Must have put it in the ET folder o_O strange…

(Domipheus) #12

you could make a server with +set fs_game “Silly_PigTails” and it would show as a mod on that gamespy thing :wink:

(FstFngrz) #13

yep that what was said last time(old link ^)- that it was a mistake. (but it was true) its why i didnt post it up last month.

P.S. I AM NOT ARGUING THAT IT IS TRUE OR NOT.

I am just showing what i see.

( last time it turned into a shrub vs bani thread - when intention was to show that the source “may” have been released. ( it was.)

(last month showed it one Q3UT3 servers under ET…today it showed 2…progress… (in idiots or a new mod :slight_smile:

Alll I can say is the maps wont be anything big if they are saying 25 new maps with a download of 350 meg so maps alone must be less then 14 meg each, especialy when they are talking about new textures along with new vehicles. Then going on about new music, sounds, screens.

Then the maps will be tiny. And to make 25 maps! pffff there must be a hell of alot of people working on it, or they are basicly 25 maps consisting of one room and its the first team to capture 1 flag :clap:

(Sauron|EFG) #15

File size doesn’t say much though. If they only use stock textures (or all maps use the same custom textures) the map files can be pretty small. Desert Temple 2 is a pretty big map, and it’s only 4 MB or so…

(Eyes of Texas) #16

I don’t see how "improved AI’ can even exist. Is there any AI in ET in the frist place? :???:

(GAS:InvisableKid) #17

i aint to keen on the new guns in a way, i mean all the guns in ET balance themselves out really well, they all have strengths and weakeness’s, i think adding new guns might effect this :disgust:
