This is a modern Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory engine aimed to be fast, secure and compatible with many existing ET mods and etmain.It is based on theQuake3e engine which itself is based on the last non-SDL source dump ofioquake3 with latest upstream fixes applied. Several common fixes from upstreamET:Legacy also are applied as needed for security.

Go toReleases section to download latest binaries for your platform or followBuild Instructions.

Notes: Skip theete-etmain-mod-replacement-allplatform.zip unless you know what you are doing. You will wantete-docs.zip andete-platform-name.zip when downloading prebuilt packages. 64-bit (x86_64) platforms are unstable currently with bugs that do not exist under 32-bit platforms.

This repository does not contain any game content, so in order to play you must copy the resulting binaries into your existing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory installation

Key features:

• optimized OpenGL renderer
• optimized Vulkan rendererWIP, not ready for production use
• raw mouse input support, enabled automatically instead of DirectInput(\in_mouse 1) if available
• unlagged mouse events processing, can be reverted by setting\in_lagged 1
• \in_minimize - hotkey for minimize/restore main window (win32-only, direct replacement for Q3Minimizer)
• \video-pipe - to use external ffmpeg binary as an encoder for better quality and smaller output files
• improved server-side DoS protection, much reduced memory usage
• raised filesystem limits (up to 20,000 maps can be handled in a single directory), pure server limitation of 256 pk3s still exists for compatibility with 2.60b/etl clients.
• reworked Zone memory allocator, no more out-of-memory errors
• non-intrusive support for SDL2 backend (video,audio,input), selectable at compile time for *nix via CMake
• tons of bug fixes and other improvements
• basic Discord Rich Presence support (win32-only currently, linux support to follow when 64-bit support is ready)

NOT YET READY FOR USE

CMAKE SUPPORT NOT YET AVAILABLE

Based onQuake-III-Arena-Kenny-Edition with many additions:

• high-quality per-pixel dynamic lighting
• very fast flares (\r_flares 1)
• anisotropic filtering (\r_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic)
• greatly reduced API overhead (call/dispatch ratio)
• flexible vertex buffer memory management to allow loading huge maps
• multiple command buffers to reduce processing bottlenecks
• reversed depth buffer to eliminate z-fighting on big maps
• merged lightmaps (atlases)
• multitexturing optimizations
• static world surfaces cached in VBO (\r_vbo 1)
• useful debug markers for tools likeRenderDoc
• fixed framebuffer corruption on some Intel iGPUs
• offscreen rendering, enabled with\r_fbo 1, all following requires it enabled:
• screenMap texture rendering - to create realistic environment reflections
• multisample anti-aliasing (\r_ext_multisample)
• supersample anti-aliasing (\r_ext_supersample)
• per-window gamma-correction which is important for screen-capture tools like OBS
• you can minimize game window any time during\video|\video-pipe recording
• high dynamic range render targets (\r_hdr 1) to avoid color banding
• bloom post-processing effect
• arbitrary resolution rendering
• greyscale mode

In general, not counting offscreen rendering features you might expect from 10% to 200%+ FPS increase comparing to KE's original version

Highly recommended to use on modern systems

Based on classic OpenGL renderers fromidq3/sdet/ioquake3/cnq3/openarena, features:

• OpenGL 1.1 compatible, uses features from newer versions whenever available
• high-quality per-pixel dynamic lighting, can be triggered by\r_dlightMode cvar
• merged lightmaps (atlases)
• static world surfaces cached in VBO (\r_vbo 1)
• all set of offscreen rendering features mentioned in Vulkan renderer, plus:
• bloom reflection post-processing effect

Performance is usually greater or equal to other opengl1 renderers

Original ioquake3 renderer, not available and unlikely to be ported

• OpenAL(-soft) support
• VoIP support (probably never going to add since Discord etc)
• Extra sound codecs like ogg and opus
