_______________________/ INFORMATION \________________________

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free multiplayer first-person shooter video game set during World War II. It was originally
planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to the popular FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein and later as a
standalone game. However, due to problems with the single-player aspect, the multiplayer portion was released on May 29,
2003 as a freeware standalone game. The game uses a modified RTCW engine, itself being a modified Quake III: Team Arena
engine.

_________________________/ GAMEPLAY \_________________________

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is an online multi-player game, where the players interact with each other over a network in
two teams (Allies and Axis) to defend or destroy mission objectives.

On each map, the offense needs to complete a certain set of objectives within a limited amount of time. The defense needs to
keep the offense from completing objectives until time runs out. Some objectives may be optional, and some objectives can be
carried out by either team. These minor objectives assist the team completing them.

_________________________/ FEATURES \_________________________

__________ETPub

Code:

A mod that adds innovative improvements and fun additions to the gameplay.

__________Jaymod

A mod with unique feature set and many options and new weapons that expand the
gameplay of Enemy Territory while maintaining balance. While intended to be a fun
mod, it has the features and stability of a pro mod as well.

__________TJmod

Code:

A mod made for "trickjumps".

__________NoQuarter

Code:

An opensource funmod that adds a lot of new features, weapons and new skills levels.

__________ETPro

__________OmniBot

Code:

A mod that gives you the opportunity to add computer controlled bots. This mod can
be added in addition of the existing mods.

__________TrueCombat: Elite

Code:

A total conversion that shifts the scenario to modern warfare between terrorist and
counter terror teams. Skins, and weapons are reworked as well as removing the
experience system are seen in TCE.

__________Enemy Territory Fortress

Code:

A Capture the Flag-style mod. It is a sideways port of Q3F, a mod for Quake III
Arena, which is in turn an adaptation of the popular Team Fortress mod for
QuakeWorld/Quake.

__________Soldier

Code:

The soldier is the only class that can use heavy weapons. They are: mortar, portable
machine gun (MG42), flamethrower, and bazooka/Panzerfaust. Leveling up gives the Soldier
benefits such as the ability to run with heavy weapons (instead of being slowed down).

__________Medic

Code:

The medic has the unique ability to drop health packs, as well as revive fallen players
with a syringe. They also regenerate health at a constant rate, and have a higher base
health than any other class, which makes them the most common class for close-in combat.
When a player has achieved skill level 4 in medic, they get Self Adrenaline which
enables them to sprint without draining the sprint meter and take less damage for a
certain amount of time.

__________Engineer

Code:

The engineer is the only class which comes equipped with pliers, which can be used to
repair vehicles, to arm/defuse (dynamite or land mines), or to construct (command posts,
machine-gun nests, and barriers). As most missions require some amount of construction
and/or blowing up of the enemy's construction to win the objective, and as defusing
dynamite can be very useful, engineers are often invaluable, and one of the most
commonly chosen classes. The engineer is also the only class capable of using rifle
muzzle grenades.

__________Field ops

Code:

The field ops is a support class which has the ability to drop ammo packs for other
players, as well as call air strikes (by throwing a colored smoke-grenade at the target)
and artillery strikes (by looking through the binoculars and choosing where they want
the artillery support fired). This class has low initial health, but makes up for having
an unlimited supply of ammunition.

__________Covert ops

Code:

The covert ops is the only class which can use the scoped FG42 automatic rifle, the
silenced Sten submachine gun, and a silenced, scoped rifle (M1 Garand for Allies, K43
Mauser for Axis). The covert ops has the ability to wear a fallen enemy soldier's
clothes to go about disguised, throw smoke-grenades to reduce visibility temporarily,
and place and remotely detonate explosive satchels. By looking through a pair of
binoculars, the covert ops can spot enemy landmines, bringing them up on their team-map.
The covert ops also shows enemy soldiers on the team-map.

______________/ CONCERNING WIDESCREEN RESOLUTION \______________

Please keep in mind that the game is aging, and that you won't be able to change the game ratio so that you will be able to
choose widescreen resolutions from within the game interface menus. However do not despair as the Q3 engine which the
game is based upon is fully capable of handling widescreen resolutions, but at the time this game was introduced to the world
there weren't a need for the option of selecting ratios other than 4:3, so naturally they never implemented a simplified way to
do so.

This means that in order to have a custom widescreen resolution, you will have to configure the game resolution manually, and
following are the instructions in order to do so:

1. Start the game and create a profile. This way the game generates a folder in which it places your personal settings and
configurations.

2. Exit the game and locate the installation folder. Normally, the default location would be "x:\Program Files\Enemy Territory"
where "x" represent the drive letter where you have your Windows installed. If you found the folder, scroll down to step 3.
However, if you still can't locate where you installed the game, keep reading downwards.

2a. There is a simpler (for someone) way to locate the folder. After installation, most likely it should've generated some
shortcuts for you in the Windows Start Menu. Click your way into the Start Menu and locate the folder that says "Wolfenstein -
Enemy Territory". Click it. Inside there are several shortcuts. Right click the one that says "Enemy Territory" and select
"Properties". When a window pops up, locate the button that says "Open File Location", and presto - the explorer will pop up
and open the install folder.

3. Next, open the folder inside the installation folder that says "etmain", and further on into the "profiles" folder. If you created
the profile correctly as instructed in step 1, then a folder with your name on it should be inside it. Open the folder.

4. This is the base of operations. Any changes made to the files within this folder will affect the game. However, to do what we
want to do, we need to edit the file that reads "etconfig.cfg" on it. Either you are familliar with editing similar files, you will need
to choose "notepad" or "wordpad" or similar programs to edit with. To assign a program to open it with you either simply
doubleclick the file, so that a window pops up and asks you to choose what program to run the file with, or you right click it and
choose "Open With...". Once inside the windows with a list of programs, you should be able to find "notepad" or preferably
"wordpad" in it. Select and open.

5. Alright, the last step before testrun. Once inside the editor, you'll need to hit and hold the "ctrl" key while hitting the "F" key.
A search window will pop up. First off, search for

Code:

seta r_mode

You should then encounter a phrase in the config file that says something like the following:

Code:

seta r_mode "x" unsafe

where "x" represents a number. You need to edit it so that it will become this:

Code:

seta r_mode "-1"

That's right, it's not a typo; the "unsafe" is removed. Next you will have to locate the actual resolution part. And to do so, if you
haven't clicked the search window away, search for

Code:

seta r_customwidth

A phrase should appear, and most likely will the phrase for height be closeby as well. Anywho, the phrase you searched for most
likely said something like this:

Code:

seta r_customwidth "640"

So naturally this is where you insert the HIGHEST amount of the desired resolution, while the height is normally the LOWEST
amount. For example:

Code:

seta r_customwidth "1920"
seta r_customheight "1200"

...aaand that's a wrap! If you're familiar with the term FOV, meaning Field of View, one would want to configure that as well to
achieve the most desirable result. If you wish to alter the FOV as well, keep reading downards. If not, scroll straight to step 6.

5a. Hit the search bar once more, and search for the following:

Code:

seta cg_fov

Once again, the phrase pops up, and it should going like this:

Code:

seta cg_fov "90"

The number represents degrees. Keep that in mind when messing around in here. Personally, I think 115 is just about enough.
Anything above becomes an unpleasant experience. Therefore I advice you to keep the amount between 90-115.

6. Make sure you save the configuration file as you click the editor away. If done correctly, you may now enjoy Wolfenstein:
Enemy Territory in widescreen resolution. Smile

Enjoy!
