etpub - an Enemy Territory modification for public servers

What is it?

Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory is a free (as in beer) game by Splash Damage, id Software, and Activision. The source code developed by Splash Damage was eventually released so that the community could create modifications (mods) based on it. etpub (pronounced eee-tea-pub) is modification of the server-side portion of the Enemy Territory game code.

What's the point?

There are already several widely used mods for ET. So why reinvent the wheel to create yet another inconsiquential mod? Because the mod I was using on et.tjw.org (shrubet) is no longer being improved and it's source code was never published.

What are the goals of etpub?

1. Be configuration compatible with shrubet (cvars AND shrubbot.cfg)
2. Match useful shrub features (e.g. Play Dead, Corpse Dragging, etc.)
3. Fix bugs.
4. Add features to try to imporve gameplay on public servers. (e.g. Active Team Balance)

What has been accomplished so far?

etpub is becoming moderately popular. There are over 500 servers running it at the time of this writing.

Why is etpub different?

I'm publishing my changes to the source code in a unified patch format. Any other mod maker is free to use these changes as long as it's allowed under the License.rtf file that is distributed with the original source code.

Where can I report a bug?

You can add a ticket here. (courtesy of Brian Rhodes).

Where can I find more information?

Gabriel Magaņa (Calzonzin) has set up www.etpub.org. This site has forums and other information about etpub.

What's etpub_client?

It is an OPTIONAL client mod that offers some benefits over the stock ET client when playing on etpub servers. [More Info]
