v2.60: 4. Create a new shortcut to your ETDED.exe and put it on your desktop (default location for this file is C:\\Program Files\\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory
Okay. this is realy confusing. Does there need to be a etded or not. i dont have it and its not big of a deal i suppose... i think it works correctly but i cant test the server because the computer in my room is like.. the host computer (same ip problem) im going to change that but now to my question: "Is xp save and the commands like !admintest a default setting? where to change them? (btw. thanks for posting this, it realy helped me out)
Ok, i asked a friend to connect to my server and he didnt came any further then "Connecting..." So i dont get whats wrong, i took every step and it refuses to work. so if it isnt the port or my ip or a mistake in one of the steps i have no idea what it could be... can anyone help me?
as far as i know the etded.exe was introduced with the latest ET patch (1.0.3 -> et2.60) et.exe was the only .exe till 2.56
XPsave and shrubbot have to be enabled through a serverconfig ( http://et.tjw.org/etpub/docs/index.html ) you can connect to a server if you alter your et.exe link you normally use to play et online. add +set net_port 27931 or any other port you don't use for your server.
your friend might be blocked from windows firewall. [ Edited Wed Mar 30 2005, 09:19AM ]
Ehh i dont have any experience with making a server and stuff, how do i enable xp save then?? just with the g_xpsave ?? i dont get you? what do you mean_? do i have to open a port i dont use for wolf?? and what do i use it for????? *sorry for all the trouble)
me again.. yes i know.. Does shrubbot need to be enabled if i want to use xp save and how do i use (or enable) commands like !kick, !mute, !admintest etc.?
lol this is realy starting to annoy me. i need xp save, and i need the ! commands so i need shrubbot but i cant find shrubbot anywhere, or a howto or something like that.. is shrubbot a download-able file or do i have to make it myself.? (do you know where i cant find something that explains how to enable shrubbot and how to add ! commands in detail?) and where in the server.cfg should i put the "set g_xpsave 15" super annoying stuff.... But i need shrubbot and i need PB but i read that server often crash if shrubbot is used and pb is also enabled.. too bad i cant just download a intire wolfenstein script and make some changes..
Ehhhh it works good i suppose... thanks for that.. now the question, my shrubbot.cfg is executed but it sais: Invalid command or cvar etc. etc. but it IS loaded and it detects 7 admin levels so that should be good, but how do i set the first admin? i want to make myself level 6, i read something about rcon or something... but i dont know [censored] about rcon(how do i find out what my clientnumber is?) and do i realy need rcon? (Special thanks to Calzonzin:D:D:D)
rcon is a short name for remote console. you get it with every game that supports rcon (like alle quake engines) and normally most serverbrowser (ASE,XQF etc.)
For ET itself do the following: fire up et, connect to the server you want shrubbot enabled (hope you set g_shrubbot to the shrubbot file) the open the et console and type: /rconpasswort [password] with [password] the rcon pw from the server config file. then you are logged in to the gameserver. after that you can change CVars and stuff with: /rcon cvar value or enable shrubbot: /rcon setlevel playername level for example: /rcon Tommes 6 or /rcon playerid level
