I'm testing ETTV binaries and settings at the moment so some lag (maybe a lot at times) will occurr... sorry for this but the testing should sort it eventually.

=]



edit: thanks for everyones patience during this testing! I can now have the server running as a master when required with minimal lag for the players. Lag spikes have been reduced by setting ettv_sv_iptos to 16 for those interested. Unfortionatley ettv_mtu will on run at default ie. 1400. Anything above this will crash the master and any slaves if they try to connect. This rules out big slave servers (i think). Also, this new version of ETTV has broken some aspects of demo viewing.

The server will now be running et.exe v2.60b.
ettv.exe will only be run when required.

I've finally put together pages for my Doom 3 mod, server and map pack info!

Marko has released GameArena test version 5 of El Kef! He's modified the SW version of the map to improve comp play.


GA test 1 release notes:

• removed the first allied spawns and moved them in the courtyard, under the big woodden shelter
• changed axis respawn time to 30 seconds instead of 25
• added a balcony overlooking the flag courtyard to replace the house with narrow windows that was almost a dead end for allies
• added a second team door for the allied forwar spawn. When the main gate blows, this provides a larger exit for allies.
• enlarged the main gate access for allies at forward spawn exit. Half of the building doing the corner in that map section has been deleted
• removed detail in the different critical paths to reduce congestion
• removed the dynamitable wall to the command post. It's now replaced with an open door way
• fixed a couple of graphical bugs & glitches
• moved the ladder just above the flag, to make jumping down easier
• enlarged the axis last spawn door way. It was extremely narrow, only allowing 1 player to run out at a time
• moved the trucks the docs have to be taken to. It's a little more forwards now, which means it's no longer in the allies' way when they exit the forward spawn
• removed the defense door to the docs. This should highly weaken axis defense

GA test 2 release notes:

• texture bug fixes (e.g small doorway exit of old indoor allied spawn...)
• ammo & health racks in first courtyard moved over to the opposite side
• enlarged doorways after the forward spawn to make access to all buildings easier
• fiddled with trigger entites to make the picking up & dropping off of the objective easier. This should avoid players needing to jump on the table / truck pick up / secure the objective.
• fixed "spawning on top of each other" bug. This was just a lack of spawn entities for allies :)
• improved FPS !!! (finally lol). There's still a bit of work to do on this but it's gradually getting better & better \o/

GA test 3 release notes:

• fps improvements

GA test 4 release notes:

• added split access to the CP for allies

GA test 5 release notes:

• fixed graphical glitch found by Blackjack & Syd

Hi Tanya =]

The creator of Adlernest, Dersaidin, has presented the ET community with another map designed for competition 6v6/5v5/3v3

Steal the keycard and use it access the elevator shafts. Grab the flag for a forward spawn. Repair the damaged Anti-tank gun and use it to gain access to the Axis Cypher Radio. Press use on the radio to transmit the Axis Cypher Codes back to Allied HQ.

note: firing the anti-tank gun is a 2 button process



For a beta 1 release this map is very good!
