 ET to be ported to XreaL | | posted by Brisk on 08/17 @20:33 | | | | Tr3b, head developer over at the XreaL Project, announced yesterday that he plans to port ET to his "XreaL Engine". One of the main advantages of the XreaL Engine is its renderer, based in id Tech 3, but massively improved - and able to compete with modern commercial game titles. Tr3b has already started working on the project, and says "I already diffed the vanilla Q3A renderer code with the ET one and there aren’t many changes. Most changed lines contain the new skeletal animation code and there is some new foliage and decal rendering code. It is not particular difficult to merge those changes into the XreaL renderer."
For years there have been calls on Crossfire for somebody to "just update the graphics and leave the gameplay alone", could this be the update so yearned for by the community?
Tr3b has also posted a YouTube video of "Parallel Split Shadow Maps" in the XreaL engine, leaving us to imagine an ET that looks as good as, if not better than what is in the video.

| SLAC Anti-Cheat Announced | | posted by Meth on 05/13 @19:00 | | | | I'm sure it probably doesn't matter at this point but I figured I'd post it up.
The ET community has been crying out for a new system to prevent cheating for years, if not for the entire lifespan of the game. Punkbuster has clearly let the entire community down. Now a perfect alternative has stood up by the name of SpeedLink AntiCheat (SLAC).
Just like any security expert, Chaplja has experience in how cheats are made and is arguably the best in the entire scene, thus the perfect man for the job.
He has now released the first open-beta of SLAC, which is available for download and testing. Show your support by joining #speedlink.anticheat and reporting any bugs or issues you might encounter.
SLAC will be used in all the upcoming Clanbase competitions and will act as a perfect replacement for the Punkbuster anti-cheat database.
I've made up a list of questions that might be apparent with the release of a new anti-cheat system, and Chaplja himself supplied me with the answers.

| Wocen Cup #1 | | posted by zombie on 03/26 @11:07 | |  | | In an effort to boost NA ET activity I've setup a very simple cup system that will be run by yours truly. The idea here will be to do one double elimination tourney or cup every weekend. I've made the system as simple as possible & the setup is as follows...
Wocen Cups Page: Select Cups link in main nav menu. This will take you to a listing of current cups. Select the cup of your choice. Each cup page is broken into a few a different tabs (brackets, rules etc,) Each is pretty self explanatory.
Signing up is very simple...
