New Patch wishes

(The Dawg) #1

Some kind of option to “save” or identity ‘favorite’ servers. Or better yet, when you hit the online button, it goes directly into the favorite servers- only loading those up to view.

And, do the sound effects (voices) keep getting reset each time you join a server? Theres a couple of fantastic servers I found, but the MC keeps yelling “mullet kill” or something LOL, its makin’ me nuts.

and to the nutbag that kept teamkilling everyone in POW server last night…ah, dude we’re on your side

whoot- teh dawg

Or a waiting queue for a server. If you want to join your friends but the server is full at the moment.

(RosOne) #4

What game are we talking about here? Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory which is waiting for a free spot on the server if it’s full until you cancel the connection?

(kamikazee) #5

That’s because the server admin deemed it necessary to add a killing spree announcer. It’s not part of the game, so the devs might not be able to do anything about it.
Imho, it’s not even worth to look for, just remove the killing spree announcer to fix it.

(Zyklon) #6

You can mark servers as favorites right now, isn’t that what you’re looking for?

(Hakuryu) #7

Yes you can mark favorites, but it has never worked for me when I try to list just favorites.

Every time I load ET it is different- sometimes it loads with an ETPro checkbox in the server browser, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it loads with my gamma settings reset, and sometimes certain checkboxes are reset or checked. I have tried to fix these problems, but cant seem to find the source of them.

start game in etpro, problems solved

(Etnies) #9

or just download xfire from www.xfire.com and you can all your favourties servers and add friends etc, no need to use the et server browser.

(Apocalypse) #10

Gimme some of what you are smoking dude! :drink:

ET sounds are fully customisable. Its pointless to ask for patches for features. Play ETPro instead.

GlobalWar: ET has always have queueing… Let me guess, BF2 player?

GlobalWar: ET has always have queueing… Let me guess, BF2 player?

I am a BF2+Q4 player for now (is that a crime?), but played ET from the first demo until somewhere june last year.

What i mean with a queue is a list of players, so i can see how many people are waiting before me.
Not and endless automatic reconnect…altough it beats the dumb “server full” thing in BF2.

(Shanks) #12

There’s no list of players who wait, you just have to lucky enough to “attempt” a connect after somebody disconnects and before anybody else tries!

(Chruker) #13

There are a engine few bugs I would give my right arm to have solved:

  • Rewriting the code so that sv_maxrate is no longer limited by a combination of server FPS and packet sizes. Ie. what reyalP found in the thread where we discussed it.
  • Fixing the timer vars in the code to big integers so that shaders and other stuff doesn’t get screwed when the server is on for a long time. Ideally also rewriting the code so that these vars get reset once in a while.
  • Also fixing the various places where integer values a converted to floating point and back. So that the precision errors would no longer cause problems.

More engine bugs, anyone?

The following features would also be nice to have:

  • Possibility of running a BIG server, say with 128 people. This should offcause be thoroughly tested to make sure there are no performance limitations other than the speed of the hardware.
  • Better demo controls: Rewind, demo length information and length remaining.

More engine features, anyone?

W:ET is dead/dying, no patches will be released.

(RosOne) #15

Thank You, you made my day :rofl:

There may not be another patch, but it’s certainly not dead, nor even dying.

(=SC=Beef) #17

2.60b

(Chruker) #18

W:ET is dead/dying, no patches will be released.

Who didn’t think that, but then the 2.60 patch was released last year.

(jaybird) #19

If the engine were to have some enhancements, there are a couple both small and easy changes that would be nice that I can think of real quick:

  • Fix for the 999 ping while still connecting
  • Increase the max ents slightly
  • Increase GAMESTATE size

Wouldn’t be anything huge, but would hopefully help to avoid some of the issues that pop up from time to time.
