ETQW Patch 1.5 Changelog

Written by planetquakewars.net, May 09 2008 at 05:35
Quake Wars	SplashDamage released the Changelog for the 1.5 Patch for ET:QW. Here you have a copy of the Blog entry from the official site: Work on the 1.5 game update for Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars is steaming ahead at full knots and we're now testing the latest version of it internally to see if there are any glaring issues left to fix. Even more exciting, we've put together the final changelog for the update, which you can find concealed somewhere within this blog update. In a smallish nutshell, 1.5 brings a number of new features and customization options to ETQW and fixes all of the issues left over from 1.4. Let's have a look: User Interface Improvements We've packed tons of small UI and HUD improvements into the 1.5 update, lots of which are the result of feedback from our players. We've added new customization options for turret lock-on warnings, so you can now get the full warning (beep and text), just the warning tone, just the HUD text, or nothing at all. Mine trigger warnings can similarly be toggled on or off and it's also possible to set the size of the mine indicators on the HUD or turn those off completely. The Limbo menu sees the addition of an Auto-Join button, which, as the name might imply, joins the team that is currently short in numbers. We also found that a lot of people didn't quite understand the Hot Servers tab in the server browser, so we've thrown that out in favor of a much more straightforward 'Join Best Server' button. The functionality is still the same, of course, so pressing that button will put you on an available server that's close to you. New Customization Cvars A lot of our players are really into the game and would like to customize as many aspects of it as possible. To that extent, 1.5 brings a variety of new cvars that can be used to really adapt the game to how you want it. It's now possible to set mouse sensitivity on a per-vehicle basis, so if you'd like your mouse to be really twitchy in flying vehicles and far less responsive in, say, the Trojan APC, you can do just that. We've also included new cvars for quickly switching spawn points for those who want to avoid the limbo menu whenever possible. Matchcasters will no doubt enjoy the new spectator mode functionality in 1.5. There are several new commands that allow spectators to switch to the next/previous player, and to directly hop to a specific client. You can also jump to players currently completing the objective, and even set a custom camera position and angle that you can hop to at the touch of a button. Ranks and Statistics In the statistics department, the in-game scoreboard once again correctly displays player ranks, so you can quickly tell who's experienced and thus safe to follow around in the game. Vehicle and deployable kills are now counted correctly in your statistics, and there have also been a few smaller fixes related to objectives giving no or too much XP. On the Ranked Server side, servers are now restricted to a maximum number of 24 players, since that is what the maps were balanced for. It's also no longer possible to start a ranked match with fewer than six players. Bot Improvements John Dean over at id Software has been busy teaching the ETQW bots new tricks for the upcoming console versions. We didn't want our PC players to miss out on these, so 1.5 features a truly colossal number of bot-related improvements. In general, bots now understand the battlefield even better than before and will act more like a human player would. Your AI teammates have also been conditioned to pay more attention to what you're doing and they'll better support you in vehicles and when attacking objectives. There are loads of other bot-related fixes and improvements - check the changelog below for more. Miscellaneous Fixes 1.5 also comes with a large number of bug and exploit fixes. Some of these are actually quite inventive, such as using the Third Eye Camera to transmit an objective when the player is actually nowhere near it, or using an Icarus vehicle drop to teleport inside a building. There were also several map holes that have now been plugged and number of smaller fixes that were made (such as the MCP sometimes dropping in sideways). Closing Thoughts We've completed internal testing of the update and we're now coordinating with all the other companies that are part of the actual release process. This is actually a tad more complicated than it sounds since we've got quite a few moving parts there. 1.5 has to be coordinated with id Software (Windows and Linux), Activision, Aspyr (Mac version), Valve Software (Steam version), DemonWare (online accounts), and all the game server providers to make sure they update their servers in time for release. But fear not, we're currently coordinating with all of the involved parties to figure out the best release timing for the update. As soon as we've nailed down a date, we'll announce it here in the blog. Before I tumble back into my storage closet, let me extend a special thank you to all the people who participated in the public beta and left their feedback on the boards. We also appreciate your patience during this longer than anticipated beta beta phase - we know waiting for the thing hasn't always been the most joyous of activities, but we're confident that 1.5 is a better update because of it. If you're still reading, you're probably looking for the full changelog. Not to worry, it's right below this line of text. Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars 1.5 Full Changelog User Interface Added an Auto-Join button to the Limbo Menu Added new server browser filter.

4 new ET:QW Console Previews

Written by planetquakewars.net, May 09 2008 at 05:25
Quake Wars	With the end of May and the release of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 inching ever closer, several more previews have appeared in the mysterious tubes also known as the internet: PSW Magazine "One thing is certain; Enemy Territory is going to be a blast. It looks fantastic, 'plays more intuitively since the console revamp' claimed a fellow journo who poured hours into the PC version, and packs in reams of vehicles and weapons. And with twelve huge maps there's going to be plenty to do." Worthplaying "What's here is an amazingly faithful translation of the game that plays just as well, if not better, than the original. FPS haters will want to avoid it, but those with lesser-spec computers will likely flock to the store when the console ports hit shelves at the end of next month." VideoGamer "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is shaping up very nicely on consoles. The key to the game's success will undoubtedly rest in how accessible it is, and strides are certainly being made here. While the PC original did a great job at getting new players involved, it's even easier on consoles." Fragland "I haven't been able to play the whole game of course, but from what i've seen, i am very pleased. Nerve Software seems to be doing an excellent job at porting the PC version of ID Software and Splash Damage to console. Something like this can only be seen as a positive thing!"

QW-Mod: Dusk (Alpha 3)

Written by Wolfmap.de, May 07 2008 at 23:43

Mods

A 'Zombie Mod' - Few vs Many, with one-to-a-few GDF forced to scavenge for weapons and ammo, while the many Strogg roam at will, but are limited to melee.

Download:

--> Dusk (Alpha 3)

Gameplay:
Strogg side are limited to melee spike. Strogg bots roam the level randomly. GDF spawn only with pistols and must scavenge the level for pickups - weapons/ammo/health packs and repair packs. There is a evactuation area for the GDF in the map (shows up on mission list), it can only be reached using a flying vehicle. The only flying vehicle is a severely damaged bumblebee. The engineers repair pliers now run off a repair pool, to fill this up use a repair pack. GDF do still have respawns, but since they drop all their weapons/packs, spawn back from where they want to be and they are running againt the clock, it's a setback they should avoid.

To pick up 'pickups'(weapons and packs), aim at them and pressing Use ('F' key by default). To 'use' a pack, press alt-fire while holding one, normal fire drops the currently held pack. Players are limited to holding two primary weapons at a time the drop weapon command ( _drop, ''' key by default, can be rebound via menu). Players are limited to holding four packs of any mix. Repair packs currenly look like ammo packs, but you can see the type of pickup by looking at it.

Strogg Agressors now move slower but have 400 HP and one hit kill spike. Strogg Opressors now move much faster but have only 70 health, and do very weak spike damage.

Set to Objective mode, 30 Mins on any of the following maps: Area 22, Canyon, Island, Outskirts, Quarry, Refinery, Salvage.

If playing with bots make sure bot skill is not on training, that number of bots on strogg side is high.

Written by planetquakewars.net, Apr 29 2008 at 14:45
Quake Wars	Background In this map we see the GDF trying to put an end to a major Strogg facility located in a once grand city. In order to reach the facility the GDF must first disable the shield generator to by pass the numerous shielded barriers leading to the facility. Once done the GDF must overload the facility's main reactor with additional energy cells, 1 in total should be sufficient for total melt down. Objectives 1. Destroy the Strogg Shield Generator to gain access to the facility. 2. Hack the Storgg Security Controls to gain access to the energy cell. 3. Deliver the energy cell to the reactor intake to cause total meltdown. Link: Battle of Wolken Download: Meltdown (Beta2)
