New Mod For ET (ET REBORN)

(system) #1

Hi, I know most of you will say if you want this sort of stuff go buy call of duty or battlefield but nah i’d like to see some of this stuff into ET.
I would try to MOD this my self but i don’t know where to start and mostly yes learning c++ will help me but that can be a challenge!

Firstly I’d like to say the stuff i would love to see in the mod and it might interest the players to stay in ET because at the moment players leave ET because they get bored easy with the play, few can say they don’t and that they enjoy playing ET but many leave with the boredom of the same old stuff everyday.

Ok lets start:

XP And Skill Rewards…

It would be nice to have more skills and xp rewards for the game as you only have 5 star (pub) skills with the basic class and battlesense, Why not make it so that you get skills for each weapon? So if you get like so much xp with a sniper you are able to rank up but rank up more than 5 or 10 or more! So say i got 1000xp with a colt, i would rank up!

Iron Sights (They Are Very Nice!

So yeh iron sights are nice and i saw them on eastern front mod! Wow they where good but many people might not like this option because in the mod it decreases your aim of a non sighted shot! I would hate that but I and you know the accuracy when press C increases, so lets not decrease the accuracy of the non sight shot but only increase the accuracy of the iron sight shot to the same ammount of accuracy when holding down the c button (Crouch).

Client Side + Server Side (meaning other players would see) Weapon Modification Unlocks…

Say you wanted to change the skin of you weapon on the server or you unlock skins by certain achievements with the weapon or you want to add scopes to your mp40 or suppress it (silencer) or stuff like that, yes like call of duty but for ET, keeping it ww2…

Microphone Support For In-game…

I don’t know if this is possible via a mod but it would be really really good if it was! Not only does it stop you from having to download teamspeak/xfire/etc to chat but gives you a chance to talk to your members and learn languages and engage with people to increase the population of enemy territory! Obviously with a mute button for those who’s microphones always seem to make the horrible static noise.

Callsigns And Killstreaks…

Now this is a little bit more call of duty ish! It would be nice to have some call signs and killstreaks like not a major call sign but like a picture choice maybe of 5 different banners (small) and a option to write your own caption on it so yeh not something that will kill the downloads. For killstreaks it would be good maybe if say you got 5 killstreak you got full ammo or full health or say 10 killstreak made you faster at reloading, 15 killstreak made you faster at running just stuff that doesn’t add predator missiles or silly stuff but keeps it fun and real at the same time.

Just To Mention!

If someone made this mod i would love to see in the mod etpro hitboxes because they are the best hitboxes for pro gamers i have ever seen…

So guys please think about it, if your interested and you know how to MOD please involve me cause I am willing to learn how to MOD, my xfire is impulsive96! and i would love to see these things in ET.

And for those who will say oh its stupid and why would you do this, please can you post your reason why? thanks.

Some features would unbalance the game, e.g. weapon unlockable mods; Plus the rewards based on the kills… There’s objectives in ET, this mod would be interesting for populated pub servers only. ET is supposed to be fast-paced, while iron-sights is more designed for careful aiming (or camping…). It would turn ET in something already existing in almost any recent (low-quality, had to place it) FPS… Really.

As of the other suggestions, you can see some of them in NQ for instance (more levels, rewards on XP).

Hmm yes ET is objective based and it may unbalance the game, maybe moving away from the objective based situation people would see it as a achievement to do certain stuff!

There’s already a game you would like to have and it is called Call of Duty®: World at War™. Pretty good (MP) besides optimization, by the way.

ET’s current problem is not lack of CoD feeling but:

  1. No real AC protection.
  2. Limited support for newer OSes (OS X, Win 8.1 etc.).
  3. Bad graphics (you might disagree on this one but graphics are very important for players nowadays).
  4. Many engine bugs.

^ these are the reasons why people leave our beloved game.

Legacy is answering most of that issues hopefully :slight_smile:

Let’s see how goes ET:Live and that new AC in test too…

You might consider switching from ET to Warface. It is a class based, free-to-play, FPS.
Since it’s using the cryengine from crytek its graphics are on crysis level.

Classes are:
Medic
Rifleman (field-ops, without arty, airstrike)
Engineer (without dyno, but with armor plates to ‘heal’ players with bullet proof vests)
Sniper (Cvops, without all the benefits. You basically just have a sniper)

The game consists out of a Co-op mode where you play objective with other humans against bots (linear maps) and a Versus mode.
The co-op mode is good (if you like linear cod-like gameplay). The versus basically sucks because it is not objective and so the classes are useless.

This game tried to stand up to ET and terribly failed imo. The co-op is neat, I give you that. But nothing will ever be able to compete with W:ET’s class-based gameplay where players work together for objective (while your K/D ratio is rather marginal).

However looking at the features you’re requesting, this game might be perfect for you. Give it a try, play it some weeks and realize that W:ET, like it currently is, will always be the best FPS there is.
The changes you are requesting will never be accepted by the community, I can assure you that.
You might even try True Combat Elite. As far as I understand, that goes in the direction of what you want.

Hope I could be of help.

Regards

//EDIT: Oh and you need to buy everything ranging from primary over secondary weapons to mines and special grenades…That’s what you wanted right?

well my question now is, is any of this possible to add into the game through a mod? Ok if so can someone help me in showing how to make this mod cause I my self would love this on my server?

(stealth6) #8

The weapon unlocks, ironsights, modifications and killstreaks are possible I think. (Based on what I’ve seen in other mods and previous discussions)

As for how to do it…
Download ETSDK or the etpub version if you want some more stuff already implemented or ET SDK+ http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/37891-WET-SDK-enhanced-ETSDK

Try this tutorial: http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/18357-Compiling-and-running-a-mod-under-Windows

Get a feel for the code, obviously you are going to need to learn some C++
If you get stuck try google or post your question in the editing forums and maybe somebody can help you out.

If this is too much effort (which would be understandable) you can always just play CoD or BF as you already said…
