Re: Wolf ET Dashboard Widget?
Version 1.1 is available currently here
(the MA server is currently down so just using this one to show scrollers)
Updates in this version include:
custom scrollbars appear when more than five players are on a server
layout cleanup
credits and links on back
try it out to make sure I got everything right, then we can get this update on all the widget sites (matt 
)

Not to sound like a broken record, but the guys who did Only Mortal for RTCW mentioned they could very likely do a browser for ET, mabe it's time to approach them with gifts & credit card numbers. I think it's {NCG}Mike over on the IMG boards.
I HAVE BEEN using Only Mortal for ET!
Simply go to preferences and add the following master server:
etmaster.idsoftware.com port: 27950
server protocol: 84
After changing this info, go to main toolbar and select "Get New List". You should get aproximately 2800 ET servers. You can locate any player on any of these servers. No credit card or gifts required. Have fun!!

Re: Wolf ET Dashboard Widget?
It might be of use to someone to note that the widget can easily be modifed to suit wherever ET is stored on your system, so it doesn't have to be in /Applications/
Find the widget. Right click (or Control-click) on it and select "Show Package Contents". Open launch.scpt with the Script Editor. The last line reads (in version 1.1, anyway)...
Code:
do shell script "/Applications/Wolfenstein\\ ET/Wolfenstein\\ ET.app/Contents/MacOS/Wolfenstein\\ ET +connect " & theIP
Simply change "/Applications/" to the path to your Wolfenstein ET directory. For example, I have ET in "/Applications/Games/", so my line reads...
Code:
do shell script "/Applications/Games/Wolfenstein\\ ET/Wolfenstein\\ ET.app/Contents/MacOS/Wolfenstein\\ ET +connect " & theIP
When you finish editing, just save the file, and load up the modified widget. If you've put the path in correctly, connect should now work!
I don't know if anyone at all will find this useful, but someone who doesn't know how widgets are packaged may. 
Maybe a future version could store the path to the Wolfenstein ET folder the same way it stores the IP of the server (in a small text file 
), making it user editable on the backside of the widget.
