What is this about?:
Qubenet is looking for fellow ET-Clans that have the same issues with empty or almost empty ET Servers

We want to form a Community with 3 to 5 Clans in total, where each Clan will keep their own identity and be run by those leaders they have already.

Who are Qubenet?
Qubenet was founded as a Clan in 2004 and has played ET ever since, We have the whole time been sponsored by a British Company called Qube Network Managed Services, They have kindly been willing to provide us with the servers we have been needing the last almost 8 years - Current Servers we run --> Click Me (http://www.gametracker.com/search/?query=81.91.243.93) all located in London UK
At the moment we have around 10 active members from Europe and US ranging in age from early 20ies to late 40ies, we are a nice bunch of happy people that enjoy playing the game while having some chats on teamspeak

How Should this Work?:
- We will disband the Current ET Servers we have an start a Community server and other Clans should disband their servers also an start using the community server, that way we will all play on one server which in the end will attract pubplayers also. if 1 server isnt enough after some time, we will start 1 more and so on.
- Clanleaders will get high level on server, and its up to them to appoint levels to their own members. and Clanleaders are also responsible for what behaviour their members show on Server - Cheating Wont be tolerated.
- Clanleaders will togehter work out a Code of Conduct for all members to follow
- ClanLeaders will decide from beginning, what ET Version and what Mod to Use on the server (so its important to be a part from the start)
- Server will run a mixture of Custom and Standard maps
- Fun settings (sniperwar, panzerwar, doublejump etc) can be enforced on some maps if wanted

Request, but not needed:
I would prefer that Clans beeing part of this, also wanted to move their webhome over to our site, http://et.qubenet.net
The reason for that is quite simple, it will give more trafic (which our sponsor likes) and it will also make the clans closer togehter and giving the feeling of a real community.
Clans will ofc get their own private parts of forum which only can be read by them (and the rootadmin ofc) and again here Clanleader will be admin so he can control his own members and give them right permissions etc etc

Howto Contact me if interested:
Register on our forum and make a post, or send me a PM there = checking many times every day
xfire = patriotqube = on almost 24/7
steam = Patriotqube = on in the evenings
msn = kabel@esenet.dk = on almost 24/7
mIRC = #[qube] on Quakenet idling as Patriot|Qubenet = on in the evenings

Will this happen?
that depends on the interest this post makes, but there has to be clans out there like us that are bored of playing against bots on their servers, and are bored paying for them

atleast we dont have todo the last part ;)

Laters all an hope to hear from some :)

One of the problems for a lot of players is this

Fake servers or how is it called . Putting fake full number of slots , and as search for full servers they appear . They can have 20 bots and showing 50 players playing there . If this can be disabled then the real picture will come out . And more servers will get a chance to get populated . Until then majority of ppl will just stay on same laggy servers .

Well if you have a look on the 2.55 server masterlist, its the same thing, not faked servers but it shows theres that many players are on when there isnt :s

For example

These servers are real servers, and the slots are too. But are there trully that many players on?

The next image tells another story.

As you can see you cant win, nothing will be done about it, you just have to live with it.

I am sure Jaybird is going to release an update soon. So don't say your done with jaymod :)

As I heard he is going to update with the latest omnibot, maybe he makes some fixes aswell.

Didn't he end with ET forever? It's great what you're saying and I'd like to believe it, but I'm realist. As I know the last one stable version of Jaymod was 2.0.6, the rest are still beta versions.

He came by SplashDamage Forum, bumped into the ET:XreaL topic. Open up a new thread and finaly he said
I just realized I can do this without an engine mod. I've got proper aspect ratio working in jaymod now heh.


and
And now I'm working on merging the latest omnibot version. I've opened up the jaymod forums again, if anyone cares.


last post
Plans change


So you can believe what I am saying, if not, check out the Jaymod Forum, since it is reopend :)

Jaybird could visit TB and write a little about his plans :). Jaymodders like me will be happy when new release is out.

this thread has now involved into this
http://forum.trackbase.net/threads/393-Announcement-New-Community-Server

I hope to meet some of you there, if this goes well we will start other highquality servers for the communities to play on, and that will like this be good public servers with a good mod on, Jay. NQ, ETPub or another, which ever is most wanted within the community.

Here are my plans for the future:

I just released the 2.1.8 version, and if all is well for a few days I will announce its release and hopefully see some good adoption. I am considering this release as a release candidate for 2.2.0, which is a stable branch version number. If all is well with it, I will release 2.1.8, along with any important bugfixes, as 2.2.0 and begin work on the next beta branch, 2.3.0.

As the wide screen changes were introduced in the 2.1.8 release, any changes made after the 2.2.0 release will be made to the 2.3.x branch but also backported to 2.2.x. This also goes for severe bug fixes and security patching.

The 2.3.x series will have some fairly major changed I'd like to accomplish, including:

LUA support (2.1.8 has the LUA library embedded in it, but I haven't done much work on it and you can't use it).
Major overhaul of the HUD. I plan on making use of non-scaling elements and fonts to clear clutter and update the overall feel.
Integrate SQLite into the server and move over the admin system. Doing so will make the various db systems easier to maintain, allow easier extension, and may just inspire someone to write a nice GUI for admin setup.


Keep in mind that nothing is set in stone here. I just wanted to give you all a heads up as to what I'm thinking about.

Tought I could just drop one more note, sorry for dropping onto the topic.
