-Mumble-devchat ist nun zu Ende, 3 Keys wurden vergeben. Die wichtigsten (neuen) Infos: Es wird 12 Maps zum Release geben. Es wird eine “Beta 2” kommen, bei der die Map Sewer mit einer anderen ersetzt wird. Voraussichtlich mit “Valley”, wegen weiterer/vieler Fahrzeuge. Nach der Beta werden natürlich alle Stats und Accounts/Nicks gelöscht. Es wird eine Stats-Webseite geben, inklusive feeds (zum erstellen eigener Stats-Seiten). Multicore-Support läuft bereits in der aktuellen Beta. Um eigene neue Terrains erstellen zu können wird man modeln können müssen (z.B. in Blender).
Den kompletten Chatlog gibts unter “mehr”, auch wenn einige Fragen dabei sind, die nichts mit QW zu tun haben…
Kommentar von mir: Es ist wesentlich besser spielbar, nach dem letzten Update. Wenn sie nun noch Antilag einbauen und die weiteren Features, Updates und Fixes die sie bereits in ihrer internen Beta am laufen haben und an denen sie arbeiten wird das sicher nochmals besser. Ich freue mich drauf :)

02. 21:17:17 <@RR2DO2> Right, quick thing before we kick off, a short PunkBuster update
02. 21:17:50 <@RR2DO2> Shortly an update will go out to all server admins who will be updating their servers, clients connecting after that will be updated to the latest versions.
02. 21:18:09 <@RR2DO2> This should take care of a lot of the issues people have been seeing
02. 21:18:31 <@RR2DO2> For more information, keep an eye on this thread: https://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4232
02. 21:18:59 <@adman> Alright, this is going to work the same way as last time
02. 21:19:16 <@adman> The chat will be fully moderated. To ask a question, simple /msg etqw jolt asked: Locki-SD will people who have keys and logins for beta 1 be able to still have access or is it a lottery again for keys?
02. 21:41:11 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: Logins will carry over - it's just a new build of the game
02. 21:41:38 <@Wils|work> Sorry, to clarify - keys will still work, but the database will be wiped
02. 21:42:17 <@etqw> BiG_Jnz asked: Is it true that <b>adman made the voice for the stroggs?
02. 21:42:17 <@etqw> bongoboy answers: I was there at the time and I can guarantee it wasn't him. Unless..unless...wait a minute...
02. 21:42:20 <@etqw> xQuakewars asked: Will we still be able to play the first map in addition to the 2nd?
02. 21:42:21 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: No, the new map will replace the old
02. 21:43:05 <@etqw> mordred_ asked: will ranks be reset after the beta? Will we be able to use the same accounts?
02. 21:43:05 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: All data will be wiped at the end of the beta, including player accounts and the stats associated with them
02. 21:43:40 <@etqw> TheShniz asked: Any plans to make XP level-ups lower so we can level up easier?
02. 21:43:40 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: We're tweaking XP rates through the beta
02. 21:44:18 <@etqw> coap asked: can i play the beta on 2 diffrent computers with diffrent ip's?
02. 21:44:18 <@etqw> <b>adman answers: Each key can only be used once at any given time.
02. 21:44:18 <@etqw> impjolt asked: what kind of resources will be avail to map makers? would they have to do there own “mega texture” or are you supplying some resources so the community can contrbiute to the project
02. 21:44:18 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: You will have access to the same tools as our artists and level designers. We might have to be selective about what source media to release, as there are many many gigs of it
02. 21:44:46 <@etqw> [QWPC]Sash asked: Will there be a demo? If so will it contain Valley or another map?
02. 21:44:46 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: Yes, there’ll be a demo. No details of what it will contain for the moment
02. 21:45:21 <@etqw> olllli asked: Re: Wils|work answers: No, the new map will replace the old…. does this mean it’s a new map that replaces sewer for retail.. or has sewer been changed so much you want to keep it secret?
02. 21:45:21 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: It means we’ve gotten enough feedback on Sewer and don’t want to make you all sick of it before release :)
02. 21:45:23 <@etqw> myRMPeti asked: Why there is no crash report created, wehen the game crash?
02. 21:45:23 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: this depends on the crash, sometimes the app/OS isn't able to do so. Most times it work fine. By the way, if you ever get a Windows dialog asking you if you want to send crash info, do so. We are able to use these dumps.
02. 21:46:14 <@etqw> zivs asked: You're saying that you have consultations to some mystical clans - from what games do they come from? And do you take any advices from top ET clans or anything?

02. 21:46:16 <@etqw> bongoboy answers: We originally did let players steal enemy vehicles and it really wasn't as much fun as we'd hoped. We cut it and absolutely no one missed it - it was just annoying and confusing. So, no : )
02. 21:47:04 <@etqw> coap asked: my student town (belgium-leuven) is bloking the port u guys are using , why use othe port?
02. 21:47:04 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: if they block the port we are using at the moment, they'll likely be blocking most ports. Contact your system admins
02. 21:47:38 <@etqw> xQuakewars asked: About the player stats (post-release), are they stored via central database? If so, will they be accessable through a specific site?
02. 21:47:39 <@etqw> <b>adman answers: There is going to be a statistics website so you can look at your stats and compare yourself with other players. We are also going to make the stats feed available, so you can build your own sites and applications with it.
02. 21:48:04 <@etqw> |MM| asked: Question: Did you implement "antilag" thingy and is it just the PB that causes all the problems?
02. 21:48:04 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: There is no antilag code included in the recent update, only some minor prediction fixes. It is still a work in progress.
02. 21:48:51 <@etqw> mordred_ asked: will you lock some more variables of the engine? I have seen screenshots with custom cfgs that looked like cheating :)
02. 21:48:51 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: There are certain cvars that are overly tweakable, and we'll be restricting these more. We've also added some other bits of code to keep people's graphics settings within reasonable limits.
02. 21:49:22 <@etqw> umuq asked: Does the game already support core2duo CPUs? Or is it only using 1 core?
02. 21:49:22 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: The game uses several worker threads, all the MegaTexture de/recompression is threaded for example. The game is definitely happier on a multi-core CPU.
02. 21:49:41 <@etqw> Disto asked: How much bandwidth does this game usae roughly per hour?
02. 21:49:41 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: I can't give you a concrete value for that, but due to Area Of Relevance it does compare very favourably to other games out there :)
02. 21:50:22 <@etqw> frals asked: Is there a preview of the stats feed available so we can start working on parsers etc? :)
02. 21:50:22 <@etqw> <b>adman answers: We hope to make more information on the feed available in the coming weeks.
02. 21:50:57 <@etqw> impjolt asked: i was lead to believe screenshotjpeg is unavailible, if it is will you be adding it into the game so we dont have to spend money cough cough on programs which open tga files.
02. 21:50:57 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: No, screenshotjpeg has been removed. You will just have to use a free image browser or so to change the tga to jpg if you desire.
02. 21:51:23 <@etqw> TheShniz asked: Will server files be included @ release?
02. 21:51:23 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: Yes, we’ll be shipping dedicated server files when the game will be released.
02. 21:51:45 <@etqw> billiob asked: warmup can sometimes be pretty annoying when a few players don’t press F3. Will there be something to improve it (when someone moves and fires bullets, he is ready) ?
02. 21:51:45 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: You can adjust how many players have to ready up - it’s set a little high at the moment
02. 21:52:17 <@etqw> slintar asked: LOOOOVE, REEEIGN O’ER MEEEEE

02. 21:53:00 <@etqw> neb^ asked: Will there be a fix for the bug that doesnt allow you to change your ingame name from your account name soon?
02. 21:53:01 <@etqw> jRAD answers: Your account name is your in-game name when playing on internet servers. We'll be making this more clear from the game options. Of course, you can change your name to whatever you like when playing on LAN games.
02. 21:53:21 <@etqw> TheShniz asked: Will there be a feature in the map editor similar to EasyGen available for Height Maps?
02. 21:53:21 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: no, you'll need to learn a modelling package such as Blender in order to create new terrains
02. 21:53:40 <@etqw> [LoX] asked: How finalized are the physics of the vehicles? Theirs been a lot of talk about a "lightness" to them in the forums.
02. 21:53:40 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: The vehicle handling is not final, we are still tweaking and refining and will likely do so right up until release. We do take feedback seriously!
02. 21:53:48 <@etqw> billiob asked: about jpeg, is it because of patents ? Or is it planned to support png ?
02. 21:53:48 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: Nope, it is just that screenshotjPEG was the only reason we had to link to libJpeg. Same goes for libPNG. There are enough good image browsers around (free ones!) to not have to bloat the game executable with this extra code
02. 21:54:44 <@etqw> fusen asked: is RR2DO2 a star wars fan or is it just a freak coincidence?
02. 21:54:44 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: I like random generators.
02. 21:54:44 <@etqw> Malle- asked: "jRAD said: Your account name is your in-game name when playing on internet servers" doesn't that mean clans will have problems if players leave etc or/and join new clan ?
02. 21:54:44 <@etqw> jRAD answers: You can set your clan tag separately; it will be added to your name either before or after your name.
02. 21:54:47 <@etqw> Tom|Nbk asked: what plans do you have for E3

Or am i just not thinking the correct way to how the gun is unlucked
02. 21:56:05 <@etqw> bongoboy answers: That must have been an old build. The Accurized Lacerator is available right from the start, but only to the Infiltrator class. Generally you don't get rewarded with entirely new stuff, just improvements in what you already have. I guess the exceptions would be the GDF Engineer's Grenade Launcher attachment and Strogg Constructor's Plasma Launcher attachment, but the point still stands that you start off with all th

02. 21:56:37 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: ranked servers will use the standard 3-map campaign

02. 21:58:40 <@etqw> myRMPeti asked: Why you cannot fly in spectatormod through walls?

02. 21:59:24 <@etqw> Eltia asked: Grenades of GDF's Covert Ops doesn't seem as useful as Strogg Infiltrator's teleporter. The same argument seems to apply to Third Eye vs Drone Plane. Would you consider making the two jobs more balanced?
02. 21:59:24 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: The Covert Ops' Third Eye Camera is able to disable a deployable in one hit, which is often more useful than the flyer drone
02. 22:00:30 <@etqw> Shrap asked: How does accuracy/spread of smgs compare with ET/RTCW? It seems as though they are less accurate in general. Is this still being tweaked?
02. 22:00:30 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: prediction has been somewhat improved in the update that went out today

02. 22:02:16 <@etqw> bongoboy answers: You can do so right now. The Shotgun is recommended. For the later, indoor objectives, it may be worth changing your weapon loadout in the Limbo menu.

02. 22:12:24 <@etqw> Penn asked: I see in a lot of interviews that you say high profile leagues and tournaments are interested in the competitive side of the game Locki. The majority of players do not see the heavy vehicles fittng into competitive play. Bearing this in mind, will you be providing cvars to disable certain vehicles in the retail release so the competitive scene can get going without having to rely on mods?
02. 22:12:24 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: Like any unit in the game (weapon, tool, item, deployable, or vehicle) if they don’t provide an advantage in competitive play, then they simply won’t get used in competitive play… They shouldn’t need to be disabled?
02. 22:12:27 <@etqw> Colosus asked: Has there been any cosideration to offering passworded servers for those people that would like to test the game in a more organized environment without resorting to kicking people randomly?

02. 22:18:25 <@etqw> rtRaptoR asked: where can i preorder the game in europe to pre-register a nick of my choice? <- will this question be answered if i ask it often enough? ;)
02. 22:18:25 <@etqw> adman answers: Depends on where you are in Europe. We’ve got several preorder partners there.
02. 22:18:57 <@etqw> Katana- asked: locki, get a Logitech G15, it got backlightning… AND it supports ETQW! (like you didnt already know that..)

02. 22:19:44 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: I'm crying right now. Openly weeping. You should see some of these questions...
02. 22:20:00 <@etqw> hikkeri asked: Locki is one mean looking guy (even when he smiles) and I probably wouldn't buy any game off him if I met him in some dark alley. Any plans to fix this?
02. 22:20:00 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: I'm not mean looking :)
02. 22:20:16 <@etqw> figvam asked: is there a reason the plasma launcher is a separate weapon which must be chosen after getting the upgrade? why not add the upgrade to the existing lacerator?
02. 22:20:16 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: some people prefer the ironsight, and the plasma launcher variant fires slightly slower because of the extra hardware
02. 22:20:26 <@etqw> rtRaptoR asked: i m from germany but your game is so hot, i would import it from anywhere over here aslong as i can pre-register a nick.

02. 22:20:47 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: Wils, Relaxer and Bongoboy all have much better taste in music (and better music libraries) than me - they should comment.
02. 22:21:10 <@etqw> led asked: will jRAD buy a decent car for the release of qw ?

02. 22:23:25 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: Most of us have been programming for a long time - eg I started when I was about 7 years old.
02. 22:24:21 <@etqw> Lekdevil asked: Are there any changes planned to the effectiveness of the Tormentor's Hyperblaster? And gief link to Locki's GF pics!
02. 22:24:22 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: I've been talking to Wils about the Tormentor, so not sure as some other issues might fix it's power separately. GF is at https://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=167506837.
02. 22:24:49 <@etqw> mordred_ asked: will you provide a linux client?
02. 22:24:49 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: Yes
02. 22:25:36 <@etqw> Blowfish asked: Locki - given your previous experience with Q3 CTF and Now TV - do you hope that QW:ET will be picked up by mainstream broadcasting, and why might you feel it is a more suitable game than others out there for that purpose?
02. 22:25:37 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: It's very televisual. Most multiplayer games don't make good spectator experiences (esepcially broadcast based) because of this. ETQW looks good as a spectator, and based on my experience as a Commentator on Quake 3 matches, I'd say ETQW is easier to find interesting stuff to talk about tii,
02. 22:26:03 <@etqw> Tom|Nbk asked: Locki since you own splashdamage you must be doing pretty well for yourself, which car outside your HQ featured in this picture:- https://ve3dmedia.ign.com/ve3d/image/article/800/800559/centerh1splashing-down-in-enemy-territoryh1center-20070629052718360.jpg is yours, the Z4, Lotus Elise or the MR2 Roadster?, if neither then what car do you drive ;)
02. 22:26:04 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: The Z4.
02. 22:26:21 <@<b>adman> (Locki has a Vespa)
02. 22:26:42 <@etqw> Dist asked: How big (filesize) is a map? Its been previously said on this chan that each map will be ~500mb due to megatextures, is this true?
02. 22:26:42 <@etqw> jRAD answers: We've done a lot of work with image compression to get the size down by quite a bit. We're still tweaking and optimizing this and probably will be until the last minute.
02. 22:27:23 <@etqw> x7Imentiu asked: What the hell!? How did you get such a hot GF locki, you must have the secret nerd pulling gene, how many rounds of quake did it take to win her :o
02. 22:27:23 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: Deep inner game :)
02. 22:28:03 <@etqw> erazor asked: AFAIR there will be a Mac OS X Client. Will you support that mulitithreaded openGL stuff in Leopard?
02. 22:28:03 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: This would be more a question for Aspyr, but afaik this is all behind the scenes. If someone wants to send me a Mac PRo with Leopard I’d be willing to look into it though.
02. 22:28:03 <@etqw> Raverlaver asked: Not sure if this has been asked, but how does the size of Valley compare to the size of Sewer? Can we expect more room to move about in Beta2?
02. 22:28:03 <@etqw> Wils|work answers: Valley is a little more spread out than Sewer, and has one more objective
02. 22:28:05 <@etqw> fusen asked: if Locki finds QW:TV so important, surely more than just TTimo should be working on it now that zinx is out of the picture?
02. 22:28:05 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: We’ll look at that after we’re done with the main launch. There’s really no time right now (any brand new features would add to how long you wait!)
02. 22:28:54 <@etqw> Tom|Nbk asked: Locki can I borrow it for the day, you can check out my uber Ford Focus >< :D
02. 22:28:54 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: The Z4 is old now, and has been a bid of a magnet for idiot drivers to crash into. Maybe I’ll give it away at a tournament or soemthing :)
02. 22:29:17 <@etqw> Nr|Five asked: Some of SD team I recognise from the Tribes warfields I used to play on: Do you think Tribes fans can or will be able to find their home with ET:QW?
02. 22:29:17 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: I’m still hoping to kickstart a Tribes-inspired mod once the SDK is out, so hells yes! :D
02. 22:29:24 <@etqw> db|bishop asked: how big will demo files be?
02. 22:29:25 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: Demos include your network stream and user input, so basically they are as big as the amount of ‘gameplay’ you are ‘downloading’ and ‘uploading’
02. 22:30:07 <@jRAD> (so not very big, especially compared to ‘render demos’)
02. 22:30:08 <@etqw> Sebultura asked: does the work you’re putting into QW will be used for next id game tech (megatexture stuff, tools for instance) ?
02. 22:30:08 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: The colaborative effort of all the teams working on ETQW has resulted in id Tech 4, which id have overseen and worked on directly. I’m sure you can google it for more information.
02. 22:31:29 <@etqw> Tom|Nbk asked: I know the feeling Locki had similar problems myself ><, do you have your eyes on any other super cars out there, ok last question on cars now I refuse to turn this into a car chat :D
02. 22:31:29 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: Want a 360 in black…
02. 22:31:33 <@etqw> mordred_ asked: can you disclose some more information on the next map? will you post some info on the site? i’m really curious
02. 22:31:33 <@etqw> adman answers: there was a pair of training videos released for Valley - head to the file site of your choice to check them out
02. 22:31:34 <@etqw> Go3the asked: Will some of you help if any Tribes mod gets seriously planned by a modding team?
02. 22:31:34 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: I would certainly like to contribute - if only just to get the initial skiing etc modded in
02. 22:32:08 <@etqw> FlyingDJ asked: Do you have any idea yet what the age rating in Germany is going to be? To be a competitive success, a 16+ rating is very desirable.
02. 22:32:08 <@etqw> adman answers: we don’t have our USK rating yet
02. 22:32:18 <@etqw> fragy asked: locki-SD, what was the best q3 match you have seen as player/commentator?
02. 22:32:18 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: I loved the Q3F matches I took part in for EarthQuakers, but probably my favourite was beating Clan Spice Girls 8-0 in Quake 3 CTF (having joined a tournament just to hunt them down and beat them).
02. 22:32:38 <@etqw> impjolt asked: Locki-SD any jobs going at splash dmg at the moment, perhaps a uber tea boy and commedian if so can i send my cv :)

02. 22:32:58 <@etqw> TheBladeRoden asked: Will some of you help if someone starts a Pirate vs. Ninja mod?
02. 22:32:58 <@etqw> FeaRog__ answers: No point. Ninjas win!
02. 22:33:08 <@jRAD> (NO PIRATES)
02. 22:34:10 <@etqw> Skuzzel asked: is it possible to enable 3rd person all the time?? like in max payne? :D
02. 22:34:10 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: it is when cheats are enabled and it looks great. I would imagine a mod team will do that pretty soon after release.
02. 22:34:14 <@etqw> ]km[forn1x asked: Does SD have their own in-house web development team or is it outsourced?
02. 22:34:15 <@etqw> adman answers: I try to mess up Splash Damage’s web presence as much as possible, but on ETQW we also work with a few other companies to provide the presence at www.enemyterritory.com and our upcoming stats site.
02. 22:35:27 <@etqw> noedel asked: is ETQW gonna be released on the xbox 360 at the same time as on the PC?
02. 22:35:27 <@etqw> adman answers: either version will be released when it’s done - neither one is dependent on the other. I hope that was confusing.
02. 22:35:36 <@etqw> rapetqw asked: Do you know about the "bug" that when you bring down the console and start typing, the chars are colored? Everytime I open the console I have to press backspace several times before I can enter a command. That was in Q3, in Doom 3 and in ETQW also. Is it a problem with european keyb. layout or something?
02. 22:35:36 <@etqw> RR2DO2 answers: This is a tricky thing to fix and actually describing what is going on would make this channel fall asleep.
02. 22:37:55 <@<b>adman> Alright guys, we're going to wind this down in a few minutes
02. 22:37:58 <@etqw> Murre asked: Do you guys think that ETQW will be one of the games that tournaments like ESWC, CPL, WSVG and WCG will have in there tournaments.
02. 22:37:58 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: That's just a texture, not the polygongs. Somebody will have thought it looked better :)
02. 22:38:10 <@Locki-SD> lol polygongs :)
02. 22:38:16 <@RR2DO2> Also wrong question I think
02. 22:38:21 <@Locki-SD> Yes :)
02. 22:38:35 <@etqw> vynn asked: Why are the wireframes of the deployables so simplified from what was shown in the training videos?
02. 22:38:35 <@etqw> Locki-SD answers: That's just a texture, not the polygongs. Somebody will have thought it looked better :)
02. 22:38:47 <@<b>adman> Now before we go, we'll give away a few beta keys
