It seems NQ isn't compatible with XreaL yet... Other mods too of course, but I remember I was playing on a Jaymod server without any problems some time ago (that was an alpha build of XreaL if I'm right).

 

For now, if you would like to discover all the benefits of XreaL, you should start a local server on etmain or connect to the XreaL server:

XreaL Serverlist

Did you play on NQ server?

I hope the game finally uses GPU to render the most of the things and supports multi-processing.

Our server got back to the silEnT mod! Come, test and enjoy!

 

Besides, I can tell that we noticed increasing number of players on our server after changing Jaymod to silEnT!

 

We love that mod!

Looking for a clan? You came to the right place! sKy.eSports is looking for new members! Read more about us on our TrackBase Clanpage!

You don't need to edit cfgs for them. You only need to make a client download with them in it. The teamhit sound is enabled with g_hitsounds flag 8 though. That is not enabled by default.

You should update server's manual provided with the mod package cause at the moment it says that '8' flag in g_hitsounds is unused.

but I do know of a few in the top 50 ranking of server population that do not enforce. I'm am fairly certain these servers would not switch to silEntT for this reason.

So they probably will stay with ETPub if such a feature is too important to lose it , but there are certainly other reasons why they still keep ETPub and you cannot be sure they don't change the mod only because of 1 removed cvar. Moreover, you can try silEnT 0.2.1 where cg_damagekick is still changeable AFAIK.

Are there any differences between forcecvar <command> 0 and sv_cvar <command> EQ 0? I'm browsing the package of the newest silEnT mod and I see there is a file with cvars to force. I noticed that some commands are forced by forcecvar command (eg. forcecvar snaps 20), while others use sv_cvar EQ (eg. sv_cvar r_rmse EQ 0). Could someone explain what are the differences between these two metods of forcing an equal value for a cvar?

Unlocked cg_damagekick wasn't a feature of original game and the most popular mods so in my opinion the same value for everybody like it is from the ET beginning is fair enough. There is no reason to make the game more uneven. Just my humble opinion, you don't have to agree with me

@Petbark

 

0.4.0 has been released already, check out front page news

Thank you!

[#107142] Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available.

We will release 0.4.0 today or tomorrow

Can't wait!

Hello there

 

My Idea is to make more configurable system for killing sprees and multi kills in the silEnT mod.

I wonder there is a separated config file for this, so server admins can change messages by their own, disable some announces (like double kill which is distracting when repeated x times per minute) or change their showing (eg. double kill notification would be showed only to the killer), so people don't have to use external scripts such as kspree.lua when they want to personalize something a little more

 

What do you think?

Better solution would be to design new loading screen that has black all around and not just on the sides. In any case, we will not go back to the distorded loading screens and limbo menu.

Anyway, it would be great to see some fix for these empty areas on the sides

In 0.4.0rc1 version they look like this on my 1440x900 native resolution:

You should agree that it doesn't look so good. In my opinion it would be better to see loading screen and limbo menu again in full screen like it was before widescreen aspect ratios have been fixed:

Are you sure you wrote correct IP?

I think I change my Jaymod to silEnT when 0.4.0 is out!

Just wanted to say hello here

Hello

 

i do have a problem getting hitsounds to work tho, but well....

Yep, original silEnT body hitsounds are pretty weird for someone who played all the time with the ones provided with Jaymod, NQ, ETPub, N!tmod etc., but you can easily change them by custom *.pk3 file

Hi there.

 

I'm thinking about moving my clan's server from Jaymod to silEnT and I'm almost sure that silEnT would be much better, but I have one question. What are the differences between these 2 mods in using server's CPU & RAM?

 

It's important for me because from my experience I can say that Jaymod + ServerFacade + 8 bots takes way too much CPU's power...

yes really hope you will fix that for a next release

It's not a bug

 

And once again, like gaoesa said: How do you want to defuse your own landmine when you cannot trigger it?

> molotovs: NO

Are there molotovs in silEnT mod?

I would like to share my opinion about new themes. Firstly, I wanna say that both look great! A really good piece of work from graphic designer!

 

I just have one small suggestion. IMO mouse cursors are too big and they look pretty ugly, I'd also suggest to remove shadow effect from them.

 

And again, I must say that 0.4.0 version surprised me in positive way, keep it up guys!

The mod version is 0.4.0 RC1
