et server suggestion Profile.pid & ET Minimizer

[-=Medic=-]

Ok i have trouble all time with ET 2.55 i always have to delete at start profile.pid (see the Quote in second solution to find out what is profile.pid) and second thing always run etmin.exe I always tried to find a solution till i found 2, I know there is a lot of tools out there to do that but don't like run third application

 

for who don't know what is ET minimizer :

The ET Minimizer is very useful if you want to run ET in fullscreen mode or minimize ET and go do whatever you want or you want to be able to edit your script or check the Forum

The first solution was to creat a batch file to delete profile.pid, start ETminimizer and start ET.exe

 

So here you go download this Attached file zip and extract the 2 files to your Wolfentein folder where ET.exe is, Not to etmain folder ... ok

 

then Right clic to batch file and creat a shortcut to your Desktop and run it that's all

Sorry The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 20 KiB

 

ok sorry but here you go the file batch you need to download the etmin.exe from here and just put it in Enemy territory folder with the batch file

 

 

 

The second Solution well maybe you gonna find it better to you so here you go :

Resolution Changing to 800x600, or "check.com crashed"

If you keep losing your settings -- most noticable by your resolution being changed to 800x600 -- and/or notice sometimes that the the startup window shows (check.com crashed) beside the text, then it's probably because of a error in the way ET handles mods. Basically each time you run ET it creates a file "profile.pid" in your profile folder, and sometimes this file doesnt get deleted like it should when ET is closed, which frequently happens when you wre last playing a mod. The result is ET detects the file is there (when it shouldn't be), and presumes that last time the game must have crashed, so it resets most of the configuration to default settings.

 

To 'fix' this issue you can keep deleting the .pid file

but there's a simple workaround, which is to make ET redo the settings again automatically. I much prefer the workaround.

 

When you have the game setup how you like it, open up ET/etmain/profiles/yourprofile/ folder and copy the file called "etconfig.cfg". Rename the copy to "settings.cfg" and place in the "etmain" subfolder of your ET installation. Now, edit the autoexec.cfg file (use notepad or, preferably, wordpad). If there isn't already this file in "etmain" then make a new .txt document using notepad and rename it to autoexec.cfg (make sure its not .txt.cfg, especially if you have set your OS to hide known file extensions). Now simply open it and enter exec settings.cfg.

 

When you load the game, it automatically runs autoexec.cfg, so everytime you run ET it should now reload all your settings from this file. However it's important to note that if you make any changes to your game configuration you will have to set that in settings.cfg file aswell, or it may overwrite it next time you run ET. If you are comfortable with .cfg configuration files it may be better to simply put the settings you have changed from their default values into the settings.cfg
