Welcome to the W:ET post of the day.
W:ET (short for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) is a free first person shooter game for Windows,
Linux and Macs that a large number of UFies play.
Current server: ufet.unserver.de. This is also the page for the server status.
Server alias: wolfet.uf-et.org (which should always work even if the server moves)
Useful links:
FAQ on UF W:ET for useful information about the server run for UFies (e.g. the password, the rules we play by and some advice for newbies).
Enemy Territory diary for more information and advice. However, many of the links are now out of date.
The W:ET discussion board, for longer term discussions.
The UF W:ET Wiki contains a who's who list and additional information on the game.
Download and installation
The current and (hopefully) most accurate install instructions should be here.
Due to the wonders of the UFieverse the instructions below may be more up to date
than those on the wiki or older than the wiki. Are you having fun yet?
The game:
The game and patches to 2.60b can be found via ftp from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/et/ or ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/enemyterritory/ .
The main game is also available for download via bittorrent, the tracker is http://zerowing.idsoftware.com:6969/.
The ET:Pro mod that we use can be found here or via ftp from ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/enemyterritory/ .
If these links are not working then email me and I will forward you a working link & password for the windows versions.
Unfortunately I don't have space for Linux versions or the bandwidth to just post the link in a public place.
Maps:
The European server runs a number of custom maps which are downloadable from
MediaFire.
Naturally, all files can be downloaded while on the server, but Mediafire will most likely be faster.
Campaigns:
UF7 Enhanced
Siwa Oasis / Goldrush Greater Access / Fueldump / Battery Recharged / Caen2 / Radar Summer / MLB Temple 2
2BIT2Short, a small 2Bit campaign.
Cluedo / Operation Chariot / Troop Train / 6Flags / Ludendorff Bridge
Seals will take you through water, desert, forest, city and into the sky.
Secret Bay / MLB Egypt / 6Flags / Stalingrad / MLB Starbase
Short 'n' Sweet
A small campaign, with maps lasting no longer than 15-20 minutes each.
Supply Depot 4 / River 2 Redux / Troop Train / Adlernest
SFantasy, for when we need a break from WW2.
Falcon2 / SG1945 / Dominatrix / Goldendunk
Winter
Frostbite / RAW Castle / Alpine Assault / ET_Ice / Glider / Railgun
Stand alone maps:
Baserace final
Glider Panzerduel 101
2Tanks
Heart of Gold
Clavier
Teamspeak:
Teamspeak is a 3rd party voice chat application that some players use to communicate during the game.
It is a lot quicker and easier to talk than to type in the middle of a fire fight ;-)
A microphone and headset are a big plus but even without the microphone it is worth installing.
You many not be able to talk but you can still listen to what others are saying.
For the installer and more details go here.
Common command line options (add them to your W:ET shortcut):
+connect [server name] and +password [server password] (you can guess what that does.)
+r_mode -1 +r_customwidth 1680 +r_customheight 1050 (set a custom res if you have a widescreen monitor)
+cg_fov 100 (set the field of view, again, normally only of use if you are running wide screen. I find about 100 to work well, any more and things start to look distorted.
+set fs_game etpro (we run the etpro add on, this just forces the game to start in that mode)
