Installation

• File installation: Note that the etpro directory should be in the same directory as etmain. Do ==NOT</b> extract the files to etmain
  • Linux: Unzip the server archive to enemy-territory/etpro/
  • Windows: Unzip the server archive to Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etpro
• Starting an ETPro server requires +set fs_game etpro to be appended to the end of the command line.
  • Linux example:

    ./etded +set fs_game etpro

  • Windows: et.exe +set fs_game etpro
  • Windows Shortcut: Right click on the shortcut for Enemy Territory and select "Properties." In the "Target" Box (Top text box) add +set fs_game etpro to the end, after the quotes. "C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe" +set fs_game etpro

Warnings

• WARNING: Server improperly installed! Incorrect fs_game setting! Please notify administrator.
  • Incorrect +set fs_game string. Make sure it is set to +set fs_game etpro.
• fs_game is write protected.
  • You must start your server via the command line (Or by changing the shortcut) with the +set fs_game etpro command.
  
  
• Client .pk3 missing!
  • The PK3 file that is contained in the server install file is missing. Download the server install again and place the PK3 file in the server's ETPro directory.
  
  
• Incorrect client .pk3 installed on server!
  • The PK3 file mentioned above does not match the version of the server. Download the PK3 (And possibly updated server) from the download page.
• Multiple client .pk3 versions installed on server!
  • This means that the server has more than one ETPro client PK3. Remove the older versions from the server's ETPro directory.
  • This can also happen from having fs_game set twice in your shortcut or config.
  
  
• Incorrect ET version!
  • This happens when you are attempting to install ETPro on a non-patched ET server. Download the patch and try again.
  
  
• Cvar dedicated is 0! Some features will break!
  • ETPro is meant to be installed on a dedicated server. Set the server to dedicated by using +set dedicated 2 in the command-line used to start the server.
  
  
• etpro_cheats.dat is corrupt or missing!
  • The ETPro database file for positively identifying cheats has either been corrupted or does not exist on the server. Download a recent version of the database.

Other Errors

• Server sends users the ETPro PK3 file over and over.
  
  • If you are using download redirects, make sure that the download path is set correctly if changed between versions. eg: If the old PK3 was in server/etpro2 and the new version is in server/etpro3 and the redirect path in the server configuration was not changed, it would send the old ETPro 2.x files; which not being what the server is using, it would cause the download to start again.
    
  • If you are redirecting to an http or ftp server, make sure the pk3 on the http/ftp server exactly matches the pk3 on the game server.
  • Some http servers may incorrectly try to send pk3 files as text/plain, which will corrupt downloads. Make sure they are sent as application/octet-stream

• *WARNING*: PunkBuster Reports PB Server Running Old Version Cx.xxx
  • Run \Wolfenstein - Enemy territory\pb\pbweb.exe
