et server suggestion etpro to silentmod

[Quovadis]

I had that idea last day.

Etpro is always empty because pro players dont play without tzac and our clanmembers doesnt play with tzac.

I think it would be a good idea to convert etpro to a small 16slot silent server.

No xp save, small sprint charge , everything to make nearest to etpro.

Could be set to stopwatch mode and we could encourage ppl to play obj ( the way the game meant to be played at first ) .

Only scrim maps and cbase configs

What u guys think?

I will definately check it out if the server gets that setup, but is that server still online? it doesnt show up on the this page.

I think having an etpro server would be good, I think the server needs to fixed because something was wrong with it, im not sure. I was never able to connect to it. If I could, I'm sure other players would join. Yatzi said the same thing to me, that if the server worked fine we could advertise in our own servers to try out etpro.

Playing stopwatch is very nice, and you can make silent almost identical to etpro, so it would be a good idea, but I don't see it online on my server browser.

 

Yet, I don't understand why some players don't wanna play etpro, etpro is like a silent mod without bots, the only annoying thing about etpro, is that when you connect alone it's empty. But some players don't like bots either (well, maybe if bots were less stupid...)

 

Now I could understand a pro player not wanting to play different mods (maybe the fear of learning bad habits, due to a slightly different hit detection, and stuff) but for others I don't see a problem... mystery. Maybe etpro has an 'aura' of being a mod only for pros.

Pro is down due to serverstatus attacks , dare is fixing it.

We tried to get etpro back to.active a few months ago , I was always camping server. The thing is pros dont want no tzac server and clan members dont want tzac server, silent is the solution imo.

ETpro doesn't work with ETlegacy and I don't have time to keep track of DDoS attacks.

 

So i guess silent mod is the only option with stopwatch settings.. will look into it.

Would be nice to keep it etpro without tzac, but if Silent has options to make it more like etpro it would be just as good. Plus we can have the silent map-voting, if that works with stopwatch mode. Also since the server is in Germany it's not so fun with 200+ ping

 

Needs no xp save, slower sprint, easier way to remove the silent themes/visual changes or use the etpro hud cvars and configuration. Hit detection feels better on Hardcore server, but maybe thats because I play etpro with high ping and I'm not used to it.

just a couple of tips, in case you will do it:

- please g_speed 320 aka the standard one and only and g_gravity 800, g_fixedphysicsfps 125, etc.

 

on hardcore server when you spawn at the flag on sp_delivery and you fall on the concrete part at the side, you take damage from the fall, which doesn't happen on etpro or any standard settings server (silent mod included)

 

- and mp40+thompson makes all the etpro class switch scripts useless, because engi+rifle is another weapon index, dunno if it can be fixed.

 

For the rest silent mod is cool

I think the choice of weapon in silent mod is one of the nicest features. Any chance we can leave the weapon choice? Maybe hold a poll about it if there are multiple difference of opinions?

Silent Mod and Stopwatch - where do i sign up for this! Sounds fantastic. I would suggest having a map rotation and dis-able to the vote (if there is one) to skip / Shuffle during either leg of the stopwatch.
