Please report bugs on our bug tracker. If you have any feature suggestions, please post in our silEnT mod suggestion section.

 

Note: There is no Mac build in RC releases. OS X support will be added in next RC release or in final version depending on how our testing goes.

 

Note 2: You can use sv_cvar command since there will be no Punkbuster support from Evenbalance for ET. Put this in your default.cfg under mapconfig folder. It will make sure that no one abuses cvars when PB is disabled and it will help to new players also to auto fix there rate. You can add more cvar range as your like but below is just example.

 

sv_cvar cg_fov IN 90 120
sv_cvar cl_maxpackets IN 30 100
sv_cvar com_maxfps IN 43 250
sv_cvar rate IN 25000 45000
sv_cvar r_rmse EQ 0
sv_cvar cl_packetdup IN 0 1
sv_cvar cl_timenudge EQ 0

 

Note 3: Server manual is still under progress but it's on silEnT wiki.

If you find anything not present on wiki, please report on tracker and we will get it fixed ASAP. If you are experienced wiki editor, please let us know and we can use your help for updating wiki.

great

cant wait to have it running

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!

Agree with the above for the mouse cursor.

Question. With the new release, is there a new manual for it? I went to edit basically everything on our server and then realized the manual is for 0.3.3 still. Is it the same?

[gaoesa]

There will be a new manual and the Wiki is also updated for the 0.4.0.

What is the difference between sv_cvar and forcecvar? I see both of these are used in the default.cfg file.
