Going back to etpro 3.2.5

Post by -=[MC]=-SCREAMER »

as no one seems to want to play on the new etpro mod , gonna make a tough call and revert the server back to 3.2.5
i will upload a small prog to revert your et back to the non 2.60b patch

we have fallen down the ranks drastically since the update so its a call that has to be made and its being done right now


you will need this to revert back to 2.60

Ah please no !
Only noobs don't want to update to 2.60b.
3.2.6 is really useful for nvidia users. Without it we can't see anything on the map :/ (really annoying).

its a driver issue wimpeh

the new nvidia drivers that were realeased caused the icons to not show on the command maps ,

the simple solution is to use older drivers , bear in mind older doesnt mean worse , the only reason i cant use older drivers is my lan party board uses the nforce drivers and simple wouldnt work without them

at the present moment the only solution we see to fix the dead server is to go back to 3.2.5

maybe in a month or so when 3.2.6 is more widespread we will re think about upgrading again

Good cuz it seemed I couldn't play anywhere else with that patch either lol.

Not surprised this is happening, since the update the server has really taken a dip in popularity only the regulars have been on it. Im sure it'll pick up again!

Just a thought, maybe we could have a banner suggesting that we are going to upgrade in, say 3 months or whatever and with a link to the download.That way lots of people are aware of the situation and the same problem won't happen again. The way i see it, people who like the server wont upgrade if we are not running 3.2.6, but when we do they won't be ready and we'll get that same dip in popularity.

I have both versions in different folders ("old" and "new"), then use batch files to delete/copy them. Just stuck 2.60 exe's in "old" under the ET dir, and the 2.60b's in "new", then create 2 batch files in the ET dir, name them old and new .bat, and put this in each one respectively:

Code: Select all

del ET.exe
del ETDED.exe
copy old/ET.exe ET.exe
copy old/ETDED.exe ETDED.exe
and

Code: Select all

del ET.exe
del ETDE.exe
copy new/ET.exe ET.exe
copy new/ETDED.exe ETDED.exe
Just run the specific one to patch to that version, etc. Very convenient.

Complicated and uneccesary .. download et.exe 2.60b rename it to whatever you like .eg i posted one renamed to et1.exe put that in your et folder .make a shortcut to it ... job is done to play et 3.2.5 use your normal shortcut for et 3.2.6 use your new shortcut. btw eted.exe is only for if you want to run your own server.
