0.9.3 is released (Page 2 of 2)

Custom pk3's are supported by default. It just depends if server has it on since that's handled by pure. And no, you can't just let everyone use their own skin packs...what's stopping one to remove textures from walls then as well as completely renders out pure handling...instead it's depended if server is either set as unpure then any pack can be loaded by client or if it's set as pure but in that case, server has to have that pack on it as well.

you only require sp_ prefix tho in general, it should load stuff anyway, strange zzz didn't work.

Or this variant

zzz_snds.pk3 >>> sp_zzz_snds.pk3

zzz_textures.pk3 >>> sp_zzz_textures.pk3

Works Perfectlty too !!!!!!!

yes other people also talk about broken sound, I might reverse these changes

scripts still need a lot of work, but its hard , very hard, every change results in other broken things

thank you

but its sometimes very demotivating to hear that some fixes just break 1000 other things

I can understand that, Fretn, albeit on a smaller scale. We run our own Wolfenstein Enemy Territory server, DOG$ter spent hours making a new custom soundpack, he installs it on the server and nothing works. The reason? He'd missed out a single ";" in the line of code. We have six 10-map campaigns and 3 of them simply disappeared one day, not even Splatterladder scans could detect 30 of the maps. The reason? There was a "5" in the fifth line of code instead of a "6". I then reset the server XP, a simple operation of editing the etpub xpsave config file, I do that, stop and restart the server, now the bots decide to stop talking, all the killing spree announcements totally disappear and I still don't know why the hell that happened .

The positive side to all of this is that we learn as we go and before too long our skills start to improve. It's obvious to us that you guys here at RTCW COOP are simply getting better all the time, so please don't let the negativity from some folk get you down, we're all in the "COOP Fanclub" here .

@Talk about custom pk3s

I was hoping not to see this subject arising for a long time. I played ET since start and still do some times. I spent way way too many hours on it every single day for many years. During those years the servers had easy access. Not too much custom pk3s being the major thing. Many servers had custom maps (great) but not that many had skins/sounds. At some point I found it too hard to join servers, because every single server had tens of megabytes of stupid skin/sound packs. At that point, I pretty much slowly quit playing ET. Sometimes it did take long time to join any *** server and sometimes I even failed to find one. I pretty much felt the game being raped.

Imho make maps, not skins/sounds.

I agree to this too. I must admit, that i never was really happy with ET, buta year or so ago, i started to play every now and then. It is frustrating, if you want to join a server for a nice little game, and can brew a coffe while waiting for minutes of downloading custom stuff. Sometimes, it needed so much time, that the map on the server changed while i was download the custom stuff, and the download crazieness started again.

And, much of this stuff often is simply shit.
