View Full Version : Wolfenstein ET anyone?
Adrian II
02-23-2008, 15:58
I never considered Wolfenstein ET until my kids told me to play it. They love to beat their Dad in shooters.
Since I always do as I'm told, I enlisted along with dozens of other noobs (insert sepia photograph of Adrian II in battle fatigues with cigar stump in mouth and voice-over saying: 'The day before he saw action, Adrian II wrote in a letter to his girlfriend: "If I make it to Berlin I can finally pay for your abortion, so shut the * up and send me a cake, woman."').
Within minutes I found myself in the thick of the action in snowy Bavaria, a.k.a. Fueldump, one of the classic ET scenarios. I loved it, particularly the covert ops and mortar roles.
I began to frequent the servers of the sfs-clan.eu where a certain Tosa Inu is chief admin. The day before yesterday I even had the pleasure of blowing the Honourable Tosa Inu to smithereens with a mortar shell (yes, Tosa, I am Baby Jesus).
Yesterday I personally :tnt: the fueldump twice in a row and made General.
Then it struck me that we could easily make an .Org team on WET. The game is totally free so everyone can play, the client can be quickly downloaded, no effort or expense required.
I could easily build a new character named Adrian II for the purpose. We could create characters under our Org. names. Maybe Tosa Inu would be so kind to suggest the best way for us to engage in team warfare. Mayhaps we could set up a dedicated server. To put a long proposal short:
Headshot, anyone? :rifle:

I've had poor luck getting such clients to work for me (not tech-savvy enough). I hit the download link, save file, and then when I click it on my desktop I get a message that windows doesn't recognize the file type and doesn't know what program to use to open it. From there I'm stumped. A little friendly tech support and I'd be happy to join in.

Hello Adrian II,
While I have both RTCW and ET and played both online and used the nick TosaInu there as well, I'm not the Tosa Inu you saw.
ET is a nice game indeed, Kraellin and me played quite some.

The file from download.com seems to be an executable(.exe), should be easy to open and install. I'm currently downloading it as a zip archive and every Windows since ME or so can open these by default.

Same here, come to think of it, I doubt my old account even works. But this is good because I just opened a thread about a online shooter that is still being played and I forgot all about this one. But it's fast indeed, I am used to the pace of Rogue Spear, which can't be mentioned without reminding everyone of the absolute fact that it is the best multiplayergame ever created.

For those who have not yet played, I recommend Wolf ET. Seriously, it's really fun and well done for a free multi player game.

It's fun, I suppose, but it's far too fast, and sort of hard to keep track of what's going on. My mind is more suited to tactics and strategy than shoot-'em-ups of this pace, though I admit I have a certain liking for James Bond games.
I prefer Red Orchestra or similar games. Besides, it doesn't have connection problems or lag for me nearly as much, interestingly enough.

Well, I also play TeamFortress 2 now so maybe I got a little bit faster but noone said I'm good in TF2. Just 2 days ago I quit because it felt useless to try and achieve a lot more with all those pros who blow you up in the second they see you. :sweatdrop:

I drink, I smoke, I laugh at all the wrong jokes, and if you'll promise to keep it a secret I'm not ashamed to say I still have sex at my extremely advanced age. And I'll tell you something else: to a doddering senile like myself, blowing out the brains of half the 15-year-old population on an FPS-server is almost as good as sex.
The part about the kick votes every night was overstated though, it was only in the beginning that I got those about every other night. Particularly when I made the mistake of experimenting with the mortar on a server that acknowledges friendly fire... :wall: :shame:

Hello Adrian II,
While I have both RTCW and ET and played both online and used the nick TosaInu there as well, I'm not the Tosa Inu you saw.Well, that is somehow a relief. I first saw the name when the killing counter said: 'Tosa Inu never saw Baby Jesus's mortar coming..'

Adrian II
02-24-2008, 19:58
OK, so I propose we all buckle up and try some the www.sfs-clan.eu servers.
They have three servers running 24/24, the mods and atmosphere are okay there and they don't wipe your XP all the time. If our American friends have trouble logging on to an sfs server or getting acceptable pings (25 to 60) we can always change to another server.
Warning: the language on sfs-servers is not PG13 and the Medics are outfitted as women in tight pants; as a Covert Ops you can, um, divest them of their upper garments.. unless they kill you first and use their knife to cut off your um.. well, you get the picture.
The first sfs-server is for Fueldump only. Fueldump is teh original WET scenario and it is still so popular that it deserves its separate server.
The second server, 'Africa', has three other classic scenarios that are constantly recycled: Battery, Oasis and Goldrush (aka Tobruk).
The blueprints of the maps are kinda hard to find on the Web, but I have found a good URL here (http://4newbies.planetwolfenstein.gamespy.com/et-map-overview.htm).
The third sfs server has twelve different scenarios for hardcore players, so I think we should stay away from that one for the time being.
I will create a new character named Adrian II on sfs-fueldump and see what comes up. Starting anew means you suck as a marksman etcetera, but is worth the trouble and promotion is very fast in this game if you play it well.
I play the American side usually, but if luck finds me on the Kraut side I won't hesitate to shoot, Jahaaa! :skull: :2thumbsup:
P.S. Oh, and Ajax, there are two patches. Make sure to install the 260b patch. It is indispensable.

How scandalous to tarnish the noble sport of killing one's fellow man for pleasure and profit, watching their blood splatter on your uniform, listening to their screams as you trample their dying bodies, with such inappropriateness! Tis enough to cause a stoic man to avert his eyes for fear of impurifying his soul!
In other words, yes, I'll see if I've still got it installed.

Only have some knowledge from americas Army and TF2 but if I should ever get a ping of less than 100 on an American server I'll notify you, I doubt it's possible to play together with both pings being similar except maybe on a northpole server or so. :shrug:

I downloaded a 2.60b patch which was basically a .exe that I copied over the old one but when I try to connect to the server it tells me I'm missing some official pak file. :shrug:
Before that I could connect to servers from the server list just fine.
Craterus
02-24-2008, 22:32
There's a 2.60 patch that you need to put on first, I think. Anyone know where to get that for free? I can find 2.60b but not 2.60.
I basically downloaded a 2.60 version, got an error saying my versiondoesn't match the server's, then found only that 2.60b patch, overwrote the exe file and now I'm missing some official pak file. :dizzy2:
Adrian II
02-24-2008, 22:43
Sorry about the high pings, guys. Rabbit me heartie, I enjoyed seeing you on the Fueldump server, and I know it sucks when you lagg like that. I guess we'll have to find another server.
The 260b patch comes as a zip which you have to unpack. After unpacking, you must copy and paste both the ET.exe and ETDED.exe straight into your Wolfenstein file. When it says 'Do you want to overwrite the existing etmain and etpub files?' you should answer 'yes'. Then you should be good to go.
Eh, what? I downloaded the 2.60b .zip from two different sources and both consist of two completely screwed readme files with no real format and three OS folders, the Win32 only has two files ET.exe and ETDED.exe, the files you mention I cannot find anywhere. A link to the patch you're talking about would be very nice as my patches do not have these files for god knows why. :shrug:
edit: Is it possible that the server is using a mod and doesn't auto-upload it to me?
Craterus
02-24-2008, 22:57
Could etpub = ETDED?
Ok, got the same error message as Husar...
ETDED I suspect is the dedicated server .exe and not really needed unless you run your own server, it also says I'm missing a pak file but doesn't even say which one.

Can we set up a game time for next weekend? I should be able to play then.
Adrian II
02-24-2008, 23:19
Aaargh, you are right. I was wrong about the 260b patch files.
The ET.exe and ETDED.exe should be copied and pasted directly into the Wolfenstein file, overwriting the original exe's.
I am such an ass sometimes. :shame:
P.S. Setting up a game for next weekend sounds good. We should be able to fix issues and set up some sort of dedicated server by then.
Heh half of SC plays Enemy Territory, but I think ET PUB is best.
We are playing at eft server.

Have you tried downloading it again? The file could be corrupted.
7 or 8 attempts have resulted in similar failure. And now I can't delete the .exe from my desktop either. I get,
Cannot delete wolfet: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
I have had no other programs running while trying to delete it, and have tried first thing after starting my computer up. I don't know what's up.

02-24-2008, 23:57
Ok, a few questions:
1) What does "Awaiting challenge..." mean? If I can't join the server, say so and don't leave me waiting for 24 seconds+
2) Why was I able to fly the first time I joined a map and since then have been kicked/unable to join every single server?
3) Must something be downloaded for every server? :furious:
Well, I guess I messed something up with the patch so I'll restart the process when I have time (next weekend probably).

Dude, if Wolf ET is too fast for you, stay as far away as humanly possible from Natural Selection. You need supreme reflexes to play that game.

Hmmmm. Looks like the specifications didn't anticipate the existance of such a thing as vista. Got twice the recommended specs but because I have vista sucking the life out of this setup it's still slower then a bucket of [slugs] uphill. Will have to pass untill modern computers with vista can match a 5 year old pentium 3.

Hmmmm. Looks like the specifications didn't anticipate the existence of such a thing as vista.Have you eliminated the usual suspects? For instance by running the game as Admin (right-click on icon, then click 'Run as Administrator')? This takes care of 90% of Vista gaming issues.
I am sorry to hear about some of the installation problems. Particularly Ajax' case sounds like a mess. I can't help you or I certainly would, mate. You can always post your issue in the Apothecary.
Ideally, we should find or set up a server that is about halfway (ping-wise) between the U.S. and Europe. Otherwise, either the Mercuns or the Yurpeens are going to look like yesterday's news during gameplay.
I'm getting it from download.com now but it's very slow. I expect two free kills on you as compensation Adrian. ~;)

Nudity, sir, in a war game?! How outrageous! Aye, 't is true. Picture, if you will, scenes of horrendous devastation wrought by mortar fire and flame throwers, heads exploded, spines ripped in half, throats cut heinously from behind, all this interspersed with subtle cruelties visited on one's sexual person.
The King of the Battle is the Field Op, though. If used well, your options turn you into a walking widowmaker. Yesterday night I killed seven enemies in one air strike. Wiped out an entire company, resulting in quick victory for our side. It doesn't matter how fast you move or shoot, if you are up against a smart enemy Field Op you're dead meat. He will order an airstrike on the spot where you are going to be ten seconds later, and will be long gone by the time you die like a rat in a bonfire. The nicest thing of all is when inside the normal battle you get a battle of the Field Ops, above the fray as it were, where one is trying to outsmart (and kill) the other as well as outdo the other in cumulative kills, securing objectives or choke points etcetera. When the voice-over announces another 'Godlike' killing spree, nine times out of ten it's a Field OP.

3) ET Pro, Radar, med, attacked - KrooK vs 6 Germans - and only KrooK survived :)
BTW what is your favourite trick?
I love sniping opponents through bushes or next to trees, when I don't see them.
Goddamn!
I remember this game like my yesterday. Been out of it for about 2 years now. Before that, I spent probably over one thousand hours with ET. Playing mostly at good ol' [LGND] server, then before I kind of quit I was playing at (BiO)Clanserver and EFTERLYST (if I'm correct with the names). Anyway, best multiplayer game I've ever played so far. A game that requires teamwork if going after the objective, and true skill on 1vs1 situations. Intensive and fast none camping game, a game where camping is disadvantage, my kind of game.
Just before I quit playing, I've already noticed that cheaters had just started their invasion on the roll. Wonder how the game is today, is PB even being updated? Though ClanBase has still ladders for ET...
Between the three of them, they sure can do a lot of damage.
Difference is that a Field Op can do so on his own. :balloon2:
I'm not going to make any grand claims- but I do have a lot of plain fun as a mobile machine gunner. I was playing on the appropriately named 'noobs forever' server and racking up some decent kills by finding choke points, lying down and waiting for the inevitable enemy charge. :hmg:
Once everyone's wise to me, someone is bound to find a way to take me out- but then I just find a new place until I wear out my welcome there and eventually rotate to the first position once they've stopped looking for me. I've managed to rack up some respectable 10-12 kill streaks that way. It's funny watching the enemy run towards their doom like lemmings and to see how long it takes them to wise up. :beam:

Edit: Got on the SFS fuel dump map with a ping around 120... Managed to rack up 55 kills over the course of a round though- machine gunning never gets old for me. :hmg:Let me guess: as a German, lying in wait atop the ladder behind the grate? I think I would try to kill you with a bazooka, which takes about a second to fire. Arm it at the bottom of the ladder, press fire, climb up the ladder during the remaining second and aim. Kaboom.
Yesterday I planned on owning big as Field Op on an sfs server. Not. The enemy had a Field Op ten times better. It almost took the fun out of the game for me. You look through your binoculars, you spot the guy, but before you can click for support fire on the enemy position he kills you with two well placed headshots. You see, he was looking throuhg bis binocs too, and if you do it properly you can spot the enemy with your binocs and then fire your machie gun at the precise positon, as if you were a sniper. So I respawned, and immediately died because he ordered support fire near my spawn. I respawned, I turned the corner, to find out that he was posted in the alley behind me - bang again. Sooo, I respawned, and walked straight into his machine gun spray. And again. And again. Oh brother.. :shame:
Hmmm, punkbuster keeps kicking me, how do I update?It comes automatically with the install, but after that you must also enable it in the options screen. That's because some clans and servers deliberately ignore PunkBuster, which can be fun I suppose.
Got it enabled, but was kicked & banned from the sfs server nonetheless. I can barely enable my Wii and I am supposed to know how to hack the game :no:
tried starting server, and it says my punkbuster is out of date. It may very well be that it is supposed to upgrade automatically but supposed to and windows don't mix very well. God how I miss my Apple.
CHeck firewalls - PB Updaters work independent from ET.
Nope, doesn't do anything, even turning down the firewall completily doesn't work. See this is why I gave up on pc gaming, all it has to do is what is was made for is that so much to ask :wall:

I don't get it, are you jinxed or something? I'm not a hack myself and I have Vista with all the known issues, but every software program you complain about runs smoothly on my comp...
Upgraded manually now, website had this tool, PB is now up to date but naturally it still doesn't work and I still get kicked and consequently banned. Gonna throw in the towel and give my consoles a well deserved hug.

You mean the ladder in the tunnel? On Fuel Dump, I didn't spend much time in the tunnels maybe once or twice, but usually nearer the opening. Keeping supplied with ammo was something of a problem there. Most of my time was spent on various places around the hill. By the time I got in the game, their tank was already at the bridge- they managed to get it across the bridge before we damaged it, pushed them back, and detonated the bridge. Not long after that, they built the footbridge and that's where I did most of my damage- mowing them down as they rounded the corner on the riverbank near the footbridge. :beam:
The tower looked like a tempting place to fire from, but judging by the life expectency of our guys who went up to man the MG, it was best avoided... :no:

Not long after that, they built the footbridge and that's where I did most of my damage- mowing them down as they rounded the corner on the riverbank near the footbridge. :beam:A Field Op named Adrian II would always provide you with ammo - I never throw it about after spawning, but give it specifically to other players who haev already been out there for some time. It ups my XP. :yes:
The tower looked like a tempting place to fire from, but judging by the life expectency of our guys who went up to man the MG, it was best avoided... :no:Uhhuh, that tower is a death ticket. :laugh4:
Another good German role is as a CovOp stay-behind. You try and stay alive until they have all entered the tunnel, restore your health at their command post across the bridge if need be, then follow them into the tunnel and wreak havoc on them from behind. Throw a smoke grenade in front of their spawn and pick off everyone who comes out coughing and limping. Lots of 'Jahaa!'. :beam:

OK, installed the game and patched it up to 2.60 and 2.60B. Going to see if it works right now.
:balloon2:
I installed it a couple of days ago, but didn't patch. I was able to log on without the patch on every server I tried.
I'm really not good at these FPS thingies, but they're fun, so why not :2thumbsup:
I'm the idiot with the nickname "Andres" or "The_Perforator".
Yeah, I'm the same nick as here "Ichigo"

I'm DG_01, where do you guys usually play ?
I've played a bit on the sfs server Adrian mentioned earlier, perhaps we can use that as some sort of a meeting server ?

what exactly causes Lag? It's making the game almost completely unplayable for me. I remember being able to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein online just fine so I don't know why my PC's having problems now.

I think someone said that the PING for him was like 200s or above. I think that might be kind of hard. I haven't checked it though.

What exactly is Ping? What should it be at?
I think that it's pretty obvious I don't game online very much.

I'm not sure, but I know the lower the better. I guess it's your connection to the server.
Ping is the round-trip time, in milliseconds, it takes for data to get from your PC, to the server, and back again. The lower this number is, the better off you are.
When I was on the SFS server, I was hovering right around 120- which I believe is their advertised threshold, above which you get kicked. I've also played on the Noobs forever server where I had a much better ping - in the 30's. There are obviously plenty of servers out there, the tough part is finding ones that give a reasonable ping to the most players.
Gah I'll just have to try again, at least this game didn't absolutily die too many times and it actually allows me to revert my mouse and change resolutions much unlike Battlefield 1942 where checking boxes is hard because there aren't any boxes to check. It doesn't work but it sits closer to the very very basics, and I will tell my grand-grandchildren that I have played a game on vista.
We still on for a game this weekend?
Reinstalled, different and thus refreshing errors then the last time despite being the exact same program, punkbuster still kicks me but now it says it can't find the punkbuster .exe file, service communication error. I have downloaded and installed pbsetup and all drivers should be up to date. So how can I prevent the game from refusing to believe it should work. :help:
service communication failure: pnkbstra.exe <---there is no such file and I don't know where to get it and the most obvious question, which is: 'why isn't my question in the faq' isn't in the faq.
ps, I am getting so terribly sick of this.
Some may want to crucify me for suggesting to losen your security, but have you ever tried to turn user account protection stuff off? I turned it off right after installing and I don't have any problems updating files etc, might be related.
I tried that, didn't help.

We could try setting something up, I'm sure Adrian and others are willing to play.
Anyone have any suggestions as to the map, server and settings ? I'm quite new to the game, so don't really know which map is the equivalent to AA's SF Hospital ;)
:balloon2:
I could do with a suggestion to actually be able to play it see above
I'll be able to play almost any time tomorrow. Just name the server and the time.
Guess not :/
Edit: If anyone wants to play tomorrow I should be free.

I will try and find a server that accommodates both Yurpeens and Mercuns and post it here.
For those having problems installing and running the game, there are premade packs out there that can help you.
http://etui.kashu.fr/
* The game Enemy Territory (for Windows)
* The latest 2.60b patch
* The latest version of PunkBuster (September 5, 2007)
o It isn't the latest version anymore. However, PunkBuster should updates itself while playing. If not, consider updating PunkBuster manually with PBSetup.
* The most played mods:
o ETPro 3.2.6
o ETPub 0.8.1 & Client 20070801
o Jaymod 2.1.7
o No Quarter 1.1.1
* A nice and simple .cfg adapted to the latest ClanBase Cvar restrictions (May 2007)
* And many maps
PBsetup can be downloaded here: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
When the download is done, simply open it and press "Add a game" after all the checking is done, just select "Enemy Territory" the path of the game will be found automatically, after you've added the game, click on it once and press "Check for updates".
www.splatterladder.com is also a really useful site to find servers and maps :)
Oh, about the ping. You should try to stick to a server which is hosted in your continent. Europeans range from 20 to 150 throughout Europe. If you play on a server hosted in your country, it's obvious that you get the lowest pings there.
For Americans it's best to play on American servers, but people from the East Coast shouldn't have to much problems on Western Europe based servers (ping ranging from 100 to 150).
Ofcourse, ping is also based upon the amount of players. Playing on a server with 40 people is gonna raise your ping quite a bit.

How many patches are there and what are they called?
EDIT: Ok, I think I installed the patches in the right order and doing the right things. Should I have to wait before entering a server to download some stupid * mod? Is that normal?

If the server uses mods you have to wait until all the packs are dled before you can join.
There are two patches and their names are somewhere in this thread. I don't remember them.
I'm usually in the Evil Smurfs Lair when I play.

Ok. I think it works. This game is way too fast to be my kind of shooter. Nevermind, America's Army never ran very well on my PC so this will have to do.
Also, what do I have to press to get onto a mounted gun or place some dynamite, aka the 'action' button? Right-click just seemed to have me shooting the thing.
to get on the mounted gun is F. Placing dynamite you throw it down then go to your plyers and arm it. If you hold it down too long you'll disarm the dynamite.
You get used to the pace of the game. At first I wasn't very good but with time came l337 skillz
What server are you playing on?
