Returning player seeking populated server and advice

(Ruddy89) #1

Hey all
Im a returning player seeking servers populated with real people, not bots. (I’m located in uk but I’ll try anywhere)

I used to play loads when growing up and was pretty unstoppable, please let me know what version you guys play now too, and If possible where to download the patches.

I look forward to seeing some or you guys in game, I’ll be called MasterRudd

Also I’m running windows 7 and have the widest screen resolution because of my gay Alienware laptop screen but when I select the resolution in game it just closes and opens console with an error, any advice?

(Runeforce) #2

Try setting it in the console!


r_CustomWidth "(your screen pixel width - 5)"
r_CustomHeigth "(your screen pixel height - 30)"
r_mode "-1"
cg_fov "105"
r_FullScreen "0"
vid_restart

Also you can enable a logfile with: ET.exe +set logfile 1. logfile should be in your etmain personal directory

Don’t forget to visit etkey.org and etmaster.org!

Thanks I’ll try it when I’m home, are there many busy servers these days? Or has the game pretty much died down? I want to play with pros to get my skill up again :slight_smile: so please do share the servers. I used to play etpro/Jaymod for fun

Nice ETPro server suggestion, I play there sometimes, people is nice for teamplay and not self-killing in action :slight_smile: Issue I had on Hirntot, played it twice, with rambo meds self-killing when they had no ammo or low HP >.>

For fun mods, look at TrackBase or SplatterLadder the evenings, see servers with 10-20 real people on :slight_smile:

ignore the long last post, solved it :slight_smile: see you in game but post more ips if you know any. Thanks

(Mateos) #8

You should use the

 and [-/code] (Without the -) when posting console or long text stuff :)

Well I don't like to do advertising, but if you want I can send you a PM :)
(Ruddy89) #9

If thats ok go ahead :slight_smile:

(Ruddy89) #10

Also, do you know any xp save servers?
Kinda nice to have some servers to just play without loosing it all if you logout etc :stuck_out_tongue:

213.108.29.169:27010 jaymod,xp save forever,custom maps, server located in amsterdram :smiley:

I play on http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/213.108.31.177:27030/ there are bots on there, but they leave as players join, it’s usually busiest around 6pm - 11pm and at weekends.

It’s running n!tmod which is similar to jaymod but has it’s own guid system so no need for an etkey, it also has XP save.

If you check gametracker before connecting though you can see if the server has anyone playing or just bots though (you can also install gametracker lite, search the server lists and connect to any server you want to).

disclosure I’m a member of the clan that runs this server, so of course I’m not impartial when suggesting this server.

Jaymod server with xpsave. When there are less then 8 people on the server bots connect. They will leave when a person connects. Almost everyone on the server has enough admin to put them in spec if they prefer to play against real people. We are mostly full between 12:00 till 22:00. Server is located in the UK.
Feel free to check out the server :wink:

(Mateos) #15

Was thinking of making a single thread for all adverts about servers instead of plenty, seems asking for one place was the best solution x)

(Kode) #16

I guess is someone just wanted a list of adverts though they would just look on splatterladder or gametracker?

(Mateos) #17

On both you have just a list. On forums, you can add more details, like for how long clan exist, if it’s active or not, in case of a clan server ofc. Plus some joy and happiness elements to attract.

(Kode) #18

True. Though a link to gametracker would be beneficial for backing up claims of activeness as it displays how many people have been on the server in the last 24hrs (and it excludes bots)
