We are proud to present the new duel map for ET (also possible to play 2on2) - Badplace4_beta8! Originally, The Bad Place was DM4 from Quake1 - "One of the three id Software maps included in the "big five" for 1on1 play, created by American McGee" - the version most known to us all is the RtCW remake badplace3 used to create the ET multi_huntplace.

This modified version of The Bad Place is brought to you by  MaTeJ, who has worked on maps such as tjwar_a1_fixed and crypt_final_fixed - his remake of the multi_huntplace map is a better, more complex version with some minor bug fixes and generally attempted to make the map more fun to play and tactical.

A list of changes/bugfixes can be found inside pk3 file in readme.nfo (open it with default windows notepad or Notepad++/DAMN NFO Viewer) Badplace makes use of horizontal and vertical movement/aiming, this makes you practice mouse movement aiming in all ways.

Known Bugs
 

• Acid stops hurting one player once another player falls into it. Once player is dead, acid starts hurting previous player. Acid damage chains (ETMain Bug).
• All Healing/Resupply Spots, when player is at full HP/AMMO, still disappear when taken, but won't give any extra HP/AMMO. This is possible for tactical reasons. We enjoy it, so it stays (Cannot be fixed due to ET limitation).
• Cushion textures won't play footsteps sound when a player falls (ETPro bug).
• Deploy tunnel is blocked when one teammate is lagged inside (2on2 only). Solution: Change spawn to Default/Alternative, depending on which tunnel the lagged player is in, or kick the teammate.
• Green Healing Spots should give 5HP bonus up to 200HP maximum player health, descending each second by 1HP to 100HP (max FieldOps HP), like it was in RtCW (Cannot be done due to ET limitation).
• Hidden Sequence crashes occasionally when the player is shooting to the target while the script is switching to INVISIBLE mode. In the next attempt, the same target would be automatically skipped.
• Limbo Camera displays nothing when player is deploying. After deployed - works fine.
• Pause doesn't stop respawn countdown for Healing/Resupply Spots.
• Resupply Spot should give 3 additional grenades instead of ammo pack (Cannot be done due to ET limitation).
• Sometimes OverBounce occurs (Q3/ET bug).

This version is not network compatible with the previous versions. In this release we focussed on fixing stuff. This should make the game a little bit more stable, we still have a long way to go

New features:

• Version check, when we release a new version you will be notified in the main menu
• Obituaries ! (SomeDude? was killed.) Experimental, I'm open to changes.
• Votes have now sounds.
• support for MOTD's (message of the day) on servers, so server admin can advertise their forums, etc

Fixes:

• Fixed a possible divide by zero which could result in a client crash
• The forest map is playable again
• Now a wrongly set g_limbotime value will not crash the server
• TitaN655? fixed the ingame notes
• All maps now have a default wait time of 20 seconds, so you have time enough to check the scoreboard.
• When g_limbotime was lower or equal to (sv_fps/1000) you couldn't respawn, now it cannot be set lower.
• Notebook was missing
• Restart server immediatly when its empty don't wait 5 seconds, because this resulted in AI script errors
• Mission failed now restarts the map and doesn't fade to black
• Master server has now a hostname (I bought rtcwcoop.com yay!), I also made sure that the IP's in your config files are replaced by this
• hostname, this should also fix the empty serverbrowser issues on some clients
• Cleanup in serverinfo cvars
• When a server is spawned bots are removed first.
• Challenge is reset when a client disconnects
• Don't call GAME_CLIENT_DISCONNECT when a client reconnects.
• Some memory cleanups when clients disconnect
• MAN-AT-ARMS fixed the fog, great !
• Cinematics are completely removed in crypt1 and church
• Maxlives maxlives fixes (restart map if everyone is dead), also updated the HUD for this

Here you can see the update check in action:

The Team from mygamingtalk.com released ET-Mod silEnT 0.6.1. - As promised, we release new version shortly after the previous one. This is mainly a fix release.

Das Team von mygamingtalk.com veröffentlicht ET-Mod silEnT 0.6.1. - Wie versprochen, veröffentlichen wir eine neue Version, kurz nach der vorherigen. Hauptsächlich ist dies eine Update-Version.

The Oscar-winning co-writer of Pulp Fiction and the producer of the Silent Hill movies are teaming up to bring the classic video game Castle Wolfenstein to the big screen.

In an announcement made at the American Film Market (AFM), producer Samuel Hadida and Panorama Media said they've tapped Roger Avary (who also scripted the original Silent Hill movie for Hadida) to write and direct Castle Wolfenstein.The filmmaker had been attached to the project (then titled Return to Castle Wolfenstein) a few years ago before his prison sentence for gross vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving.

Here's the official boilerplate on the movie via today's press release: "Castle Wolfenstein is an action adventure film in the vein of Captain America and Inglourious Basterds.  The story follows a young US Army Captain and a British Special Agent on a top secret mission to Castle Wolfenstein, where Hitler will be for the unveiling of a new secret weapon.  After reaching the Castle, our heroes are confronted with Himmler’s SS Paranormal Division and must fight, not only for their survival, but for a mission that could alter the course of the War."

"With Roger at the helm, we expect everyone will join us for a wild and fun cinematic ride that will grab contemporary film audiences with the same irreverent, hip, over the top approach that Roger brought to Pulp Fiction and the other films he has either written or directed," said Hadida. "It is a big action adventure but also strongly character driven and based on a very solid story. ... The film involves a classic assault on the bad guys, who are nominally Nazis, more evocative of Inglourious Basterds than the actual World War II. It is a vaguely futuristic retro world as fun as Captain America, which has recently been reintroduced to the world audience with great success.”

Said Avary in a statement, "I’ve been playing the Wolfenstein games since I was a kid, and feel that their outlandish sensibility has deeply influenced my own writing and directing throughout my career.  I have always thought Wolfenstein, transformed and opened for the screen to wider audiences not familiar with the games, would be a major cinematic experience, which is why I introduced it to Samuel.  He bought the rights, and I could not be happier that we are now embarking on this adventure.”

TZAC news by chaplja - Quote: Alright people, it's time to end this drama, TZAC will stay online and it'll be free.
Thanks to a member who's been supporting TZAC for a long time, peaces, TZAC will stay online and it'll be free to use.
However, during next few months I will be working on ways to monetize TZAC while keeping it generally free to use. The plan is to introduce low-cost premium accounts which would give some additional features (but TZAC would function normally even if you don't pay), perhaps own clan/match system on the site including tournaments, etc.

TZAC news by chaplja - Quote: This is an update to the latest news post where I said there's a chance TZAC may stay online. The news are the negotiations have failed and thus on 1 December it'll be shut down. Please don't ask me to give you the project so you can continue working - it won't happen.

TZAC News von chaplja - Zitat: Dies ist ein Update auf die neuesten Nachrichten wo ich sagte es besteht noch eine Chance TZAC aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Verhandlungen sind aber gescheitert, somit wird am 1. Dezember TZAC endgültig heruntergefahren. Bitte keine Fragen und Überredungen deswegen - das Projekt wird definitiv nicht an andere Personen abgegeben.

Dear users and league admins,

there is a chance TZAC will stay online as I'm negotiating with a few people who are interested in continuing the TZAC development and continuing the project under a new name, but keeping the user base and everything else the same (much like when only the name changed from SLAC to TZAC).

Please wait a few more days before making decision to drop TZAC.

TZ-AC is shutting down after more than 2 years of running this project.

Quote Chaplja:

From the very start of TZAC, I've tried finding partners and a couple of times it seemed promising, but every time something went wrong. 2 years have been more than enough, I have no hopes anymore, nor motivation to keep working on TZAC and it resulted in lack of updates - which you may have noticed lately.

I'm deeply sorry because I haven't done with TZAC everything I planned on doing - a lot of stuff was not implemented which should have been done ages ago.

Therefore, TZAC will be shut down on 1 December 2012. I hope that during the project's lifetime it helped you, both league admins and league players. Hopefully you'll find an alternative that will be just as good, or even better.

Thanks a lot to everyone who supported the project: YCN-Hosting, donators, league admins and everyone else who supported it in any way.

- Tomislav
