After blaze lost more or less intrest in the mod, what I really really think is sad, since I had fun working with him, I am searching for a new guy to help out!

This guy doesnt have to be skilled code wise, but he should understand databases + php / css / html etc etc. You guessed right, I want you to
build up the Ranked stats Page. I have already built up a working backend, so it will more or less only be html + some basic php function call. The rest can be extracted from the database with my backend, so there is no need for you to care about this.

If you feel like helping, just write me a msg here in the forums or send me a mail at uvhannes@gmail.com!

Thanks and have a nice evening,

Update: Application closed

A few minutes ago I published the 0.6 Version of ETQWPro Mod.

This Mod merges Splashdamage's Competition Mod and the old version of ETQWPro.

The main goals were to keep vanilla commands and Competition Commands working. So all your Scripts from vanilla or compmod should also work in ETQWPro 0.6.
Also user experience was a high priority, so you will now get feedback on error messages and so on.

0.6 is also supporting its very own ranked server system. More Information on this will made public soon.

No more words from me, be sure to check the changelog here and the complete Cvar list here

Mac users: I didnt forget you. I am still trying to find a way how to get binaries for you.

Windows server admins: Be sure to check the changelog. There is some info about Windows server binaries

I do suggest using the installer, since it cleans up your system!

Downloads:
Installer: download
Zip: download

Hello,

Im making good progress with the 0.6 version and since this will be a complete new mod, all promod functions have been rewritten, I am searching for 3 to 4 Teams to do some playtests.

Such Tests would include:

• Vehicle Restrictions
  
• Pause Features
  
• Not yet published Features
  
• Public Modifications
  
• All cvars
  
• All console commands
  
• Compatibility with SD comp mod

to just name a few!

Send your applications to uvhannes@gmail.com, or just pm me in #etqwpro @ Quakenet

Teams that dont help testing but got approved, will get removed instantly.

Note: This is not only for the competition scene, public clans are also welcome

-Hannes

This update fixes some major issues that popped up in 0.55a.

The main issues I was trying to fix / smoothen out:
TV was crashing on connect
Vehicle management, vehicles wont spawn into the map anymore, if they are not allowed
Headshots only mod
Demo recording
End of round screenshots
better useability (menu to adjust your ingame settings)
Weapon model tweaks (thanks to pie)
GPMG spread
Our scripts will work now also on custom maps!


Serveradmins, be sure to adjust your server configs! The es_allowvehicles cvar has changed.
More Information about this can be found in the changelog and wiki!

We highly recommend updating your servers, also be sure to give any bugreport and feedback in our forums at ETQWPro Forums

Also Linux server admins, please give feedback about any server crashes, the binaries got compiled in a slightly diffrent way this time!

ETQWPro Team

Im very pleased to announce that the ETQWPro version is now live on our update servers and will get installed as soon as you start ETQWPro 0.4 the next time.

No, its not that easy but there is indeed some great change in the whole mod. While I was focusing on the whole GFX stuff to get you guys as much FPS as possible, I had blaze to work on the restrictions and NA / EU compatibility.

Blaze joined the ETQWPro team about one month ago, and I cant think of coding alone anymore.

Please report bugs!

have a nice Monday

The team behind the most popular etqw mod to date have now recruited the creator of the etqw competition mod pigmod, no other than Blaze. The ETQWPro team expect Blaze to bring manners into the team and we see it as a happy bonus if he decides to include some features. Rumors say that Blaze was once an army sergeant in Vietnam and that he killed 10 boars with his fists.

Aside from that Blaze is a major asset on all fronts and has already made his mark on the mod, bringing in lots of experience from both modding and creating games. Blaze has previously worked on mods such as reaction quake for quake 3.

This means the coding team now consist of Hannes, SpaceCommander, th00ry and Blaze.

With the two most successful competition mods for etqw now working together you can hardly imagine any limits! Stay tuned for big updates to come!

You can visit ETQWPro at #etqwpro on quakenet.

The biggest ETQWPRO update to date has just been released featuring gameplay improvements, game fixes and some additions. The focus of fourth public release is to polish old features, work against full holds on certain maps and make the community rule set as automatic as possible, making it easier to follow. A lot of the features in the update were used in the CDC4 build of ETQWPro and at the people at the LAN seemed very happy with them.
And with this major update we hope that people that have quit ETQW will come back and try out the mod. Because we are getting closer and closer to ETQW as it should have been from a competitive perspective. And we have gone a long way in improving all sides of the gameplay. ETQWPro is a lot more about skill through precise aiming, more balance and less about spam / vehicle dominance. So if you ever tried ETQW and felt it was too spammy, aiming was off or that you felt the balance didn’t work in competition we recommend you try ETQWPro 0.4.

And as a teaser I can tell you that there are already some features ready to be implanted into ETQWPro as soon as they are balance tested properly. So you can look forward to more big ETQWPro updates this spring.

ETQWPro 0.4: http://etqwpro.net/misc/etqwpro040.zip

ETQWPro gathers
The gather channel #qw.gather on quakenet is running ETQWPro gathers around the clock in both 4on4 and 6on6. So if you just want to test out the mod this is an excellent option. Each week more than 120 gathers are played, that’s more than 15 gathers each day.

I grabbed hannes to ask him some question related to the release:

With 0.4 being a major release, how far do you feel ETQWPro is developed compared to what you want it to be?

Well if you compare 0.02 and 0.4 you cannot deny that we made an impressive step forward. At moment I am pretty happy with the development of ETQWPro and the ETQWPro server count is going up each day. (Editors note: passed 100 a couple of days ago) And coming from ET an aim based and tactical shooter, Quakewars vanilla was just too much spam. Now with some restrictions, important events and leagues have chosen to use ETQWPro over pigmod and SD comp mod. So as it is going this game gets more and more into an aim based shooter again. Due to our very own Spread Manager headshots feel right now and are not that random and the new heavy Vehicle rule helps turn down the amount of vehicle spam.

What are you looking into for the next release of ETQWPro, any specific things you can talk about?

Well the next release will be more into fixing any bugs which can popup in this release, statistics, HUD, and some minor not so important stuff. And of course, if Splashdamage releases its source, we still plan to re-build this mod on the SD comp mod.

Major additions/changes in 0.4:
- Fixed a big spread Issue when jumping and shooting, making the extra spread stay for a while
- Added a config, which should make it easier for you guys to create an own one!
- Weapon restrictions are added now
- Removed the scope effect from the strogg HUD
- If vehicles are forbidden on the last Objective stage, players will get ejected by the mod!
- Turret restrictions reworked and should work now
- Added clientside mapscripts!
- Implemented the vehicle rules! If the cvars are set, your team dont have to worry about using too many vehicles at the same time, the mod will either allow or not allow you to enter any vehicle.
- Added cvar for shooting in third person. (Switching positions is still allowed)
- Current ETQWPro version will also be available in the Server Info!
- Added an "announcement" whenever anyone connects on the server. (No sneaky specs anymore)

Map changes:
-Strogg/GDF spawntimes on salvage are now 15/30, from 15/35 in 0.03.
