Slight change made...server is now public with 16 slots total, 8 are reserved with the same password above.

FYI: Server has been up for a few hours but still not showing in the master list.

Well it's showing up now, and looking great! Don't know about maps and mods yet - Fuel Dump is a great map, but it's already in the Europe rotation.

I'm hoping that by the end of next week my little band of 5 might be up to 7/8, all of us new to et, so if you guys fancy a game, we'll be well up for it

Wow, I guess I have been out of the loop for a while. I didn't even know they were going to make a Mac version of ET, let alone it being completed!  Now I'm going to have to download it for my PC and check it out!

can someone help me out with all the mods and junk? Like whats shrubET (obviously shrub for et, but what differences are there)?  Being new to the game, I don't really have a referance as to whats "normal"

I passed out this afternoon and didn't get a chance to do any testing.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Got a suggestion Altivec - the game is great, and the server is fantastic but the mines are a pain in the butt - a guy can plant 4 mines before his power bar runs down, and it gets ridiculous. Somewhere in the config there should be a way to increase the amount of "power" it takes to set a mine. Reducing that would make it a much more balanced game.

Apart from that, brilliant!

The engineer recharge time is set to the default, and most servers that i've been to have it at the default (30 seconds from fully empty to fully recharged).  Changing the recharge time will affect all of the other engineer functions such as planting dyno and repairing/building command posts and other objectives.  I'll look into lowering the amount of mines that can be planted instead.

Covert ops is your friend! 

I verified that etpub is compatible with the Mac version of ET, and appears to be updated on a regular basis.  I've installed it on the server.  Here are some of the settings that are now enabled:

Max player change:  Changed maxplayers from 16 to 18, left 8 private slots.

Limited mines:  Max # of mines that can be laid by any team changed from 10 to 6.

XPSave: XP is saved across campaigns, and even if you disconnect.  It's not forever, it appears that if 64 playerjoins occur between your logins then your XP isn't saved.  XP is also not saved if the server is restarted for any reason.  I'm going to look into restarting the server every 24 or 48 hours.

Goombakills:  Damage the enemy by jumping on top of them.

Private messages: send a message using /m <playername> <message>

Admin privs: I can give out partial admin levels to peeps on the server.  If you want admin rights, send me an email with your punkbuster GUID.

Hitsounds: Audio feedback when your bullets hit someone.

Shove:  Shove a teammate with the use key.

Play Dead:  /playdead in the console to play dead.

Corpse Dragging:  Same as the original shrub.

Class changing: You can change classes in a similar manner to how covert ops can take a uniform.  Stand over a teammates corpse, and hold down the use key.

Keep Flak Jacket across class changes:  If you make level 4 as an engineer, you keep the flak jacket if you change to a different class.

Improved hitboxes:  See http://et.tjw.org/etpub/hitboxes/ - Before is original ET, after is what the server is running.

Ah, I love our server being back up.

Server seems to running great and appears to be attracting players!  I have noticed that we sometimes lose ppl when we go to the radar map.  My fps on the map makes it unplayable for me with my fisher-price 32 meg vid card.  Anyone else dislike this map?

Also, many mac people seem to be joining our server.  Should we go into recruiting mode for ET?  Perhaps we should hold votes in the old wolf.clanmacaddict.com site.  Should we enable the public forums on the site again with a disclaimer Alt?  Just a thought..

I agree with silver bring the old ma site back aka rtcw.clanmacaddict.com and put the forums there.  These forums a boring.

Nice, mabey we should try shrub ET for our server. We had shrub on our RTCW server.

Anyone else up for trying being a medic with a panzerfaust?
Or who could forget throwing knives and awesome goomba kills!
