After some months of absence the splashdamage forums went online again a few weeks ago. And from today on the entire splashdamage site is back. I hope we'll see more official news about ET:QW (esp. the release date) soon.
With the Opencup almost over, we have had a good turn out so esl hope that the next will be alot better with more team's hopefull joining. All player's of the tce Opencup and the new ladder need to put the et PB guid on his esl profile. To get the right guid connect to a server and type "/pb_plist" then u get a part from your guid (8 letters), please copie this part and post it in youre esl profile.
Next round only players with complet guid in the profile will be able to play. The next ladder will be starting soon. So please make sure you got your pb guid. Once you have updated your profile with your guid you can then register your team, with ESL.
An forum-update is carried out tomorrow (February 06th, 2007) at the morning. Therefore the forum will be shut down for one hour. Unfortunately, we cannot call you the exact time. Affected by the restrictions will be the forum as well as new registrations. Further the ET part works without restrictions.
A small maintenance of the SL server is carried out tomorrow (February 01st, 2007) at 10-11 hours morning. Forum+web page won't be attainable for this time. Nothing is also tracked.
Workaround for the punkbuster-freezes and slow-downs in the game.
Delete the complete pb-folder, create a new pb-folder, copy pbsetup.exe in the pb-folder and start update. Create now in the pb-folder a file with the name "pbcl.cfg" and copy the following text in this file. (or download it)
PB_Security [0=no, 1=yes] When set to 0, PunkBuster will accept all "update" files without verifying that they are authentic; the default is 1 which should not normally be changed except for LAN environments where there is no Internet Access and/or you fully trust the Servers you are connecting to PB_Sleep [Period] Holds the period of time (milliseconds) that PunkBuster "sleeps" between processing cycles; the default is 60; lower numbers will cause PunkBuster to process events more times each second which also has the effect of increasing the bandwidth used by PunkBuster; Players with a modem connection will probably want to set this as high as possible
TC:E 0.490b (fixed) Released GrooveSix Studios and Team Terminator have released TC:E 0.490b (fixed) update. Read more @ eclipse-esports * Download:TC:E 0.49b (fixed)
It is fact that many players in the Top100 play only once within 7 days for a short time. They don't want to mess up their ranking. Unfortunately, this isn't according to a ranking and to offer such players an incentive for playing and not penalize active players respectively we have made a "short-lived" ranking now. This means one doesn't play, the rating is made go down easily so (after 24 hours of inactivity). The more inactive player and the higher his rating, the more steeply he falls in the ranking. The whole isn't as bad as it listens to it here.
For example, we have a 20-rating player: If he plays every two days then he loses every two days 0.03 rating points. If he plays only every 5 days then he loses 0.33 each within 5 days. Within 14 days abstinence he loses already 3.02 points. However, these are all values which one can easily make up again. How we recognize does the new modification apply primarily to players who don't play. Active players are virtually untouched of this and that is also not bad.
In addition, we have reduced the minimum player limit from 8 to 6 players test wise and therefore more players should get a valid session. If the practice tests are positive we keep the new player limit.
The Ratinsystem was crashed tonight. The Mistake was a not effectual tested rating modification, which we have included yesterday. We imported the latest backup. Thats means, the last 3 hours will be ignored by the SL.
Since yesterday the league join is open, all clans can register now for the first esl tc:e round ! I hope we get a lot teams and a active ladder, before we start we will release new rulez and special server.cfg. After that we start quick with an opencup best from 16 or 32 teams.
Just visited ETMaps.de and ChiemseeMan will no longer be updating the site with new maps.
imo a sad loss to ET.
A lot of server admins and players would most likely have used the site to keep upto date on what new maps were out there for ET, i know it was my fav site for keeping upto date.
