New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
The server is now running the new maps. If you see missing textures on baserace, download the following .pk3 and save it to your etmain folder:
http://198.65.241.158/etmain/baserace_b3_suppliment.pk3
For some reason the server won't send it when you connect.
Latest version of etpub also installed...docs here:
http://et.tjw.org/etpub/docs/
Most visible changes are killratings (displayed at end of map and when /killrating is entered in the console) and banner messages moved to the middle of the screen.
I'll look into adding the client side etpub mod, it fixes a lot of bugs with ET.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I think the new maps are a hit. The server was pretty full all night. I hope this is a good sign of things to come! Good job guys.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
Added some more tweaks:
- The default campaigns (N Africa and Europe) no longer appear in the vote list under Campaigns.
- # of panzers and flamethrowers per team now limited to one, this should make things eaiser for Allies on glider & for both teams on baserace.

Wonder how much of the new traffic came in via our new widget.

More tweaks:
- Known hack cvars blocked
- Additional cvar blocks tweaked (mostly from rtcw.jolt.co.uk
The server will be added to pbbans.com shortly. I've already added their banlist to the server's punkbuster configuration, and once log streaming is configured the server's ban list will update real time when cheaters are caught on other servers.

Good call! I've been streaming for a while, best way to keep the Ban Lists updated. 
Be aware however, that the new bans form other servers don't get added to yours automatically. Use the Master Ban Index Page and it's easy enough to merge them though.

Yeah, found that out today when I was setting things up. I know someone on their team is working on implementing that.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but why etpub over etpro? Is there at least a way to change the hit sounds to the pro ones, or something slightly more audible. As it is with the defaults I can barely tell if I'm hitting. I will start playing on MA a lot more once I get back into the US. I ping about 115 from England, and I can't bare anything over 70.

Did you undo this? Cause last night there were panzers out the butt. On glider we didn't get to the ruins once. Jwei left because of it ...and I was thinking about it. It's just so freaking long and when you know you can't win it just makes trying that much more annoying.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I'm a big advocate of "tough it up." Panzers can be annoying, but they were put in the game for a reason. The add a dynamic to it, and force alternate strategies. I don't know the map, but I'd say that there is generally a counter strategy to every defense. Thus if the enemy team has 5 panzers on an 8 person team, they are relying 100% on fragging. Perhaps re-evaluate your game plan and there's another way to win. Then again this is very competitive minded thinking, and generally requires several friends and teamspeak, and I gather that the MA pub is more of a play for fun server, so you can disregard this statement, because it may be irrelevant.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I think we had a 3 vs 4 ...all three on the opposing team had panzers. It's not a problem with dying to quick ...it's a problem with the map. The glider flies so slow and for so long that it's far too easy to shoot down. It takes 2 panzer hits to disable it and it's pretty much impossible if there are two or more panzers on the axis team.
3 of us on our team were out hunting them down ...2 panzers and I was a covert. Couldn't kill them fast enough. As soon as they would pop out they'd shoot. Before the Invincibility even wore off. It's just a really lopsided map.

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I'm cool with panzers, i have no problem with them but like zwei said about the glider map it gets very frusterating seeing your glider get shot down by a panzer missle every single time you launch one. Last night on glider was just some good fun with panzers(aka panzer party).

Re: New maps & etpub 0.52 now on the server
I wish there was some way to disable panzers until the teams were at least 5v5 or 6v6. It's just annoying otherwise. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ET pro only for pc?
...but hey, what do I know

etpro server side is only PC ...etpro client works just fine on Macs.

I had a typo in the config, it's fixed now.
